Happy Lunar New Year from the USC US-China Institute!
Ever since China entered the World Trade Organization in 2001, the entire country underwent a transformation in every industry, especially in communication and media. My 15 years of experience spanned from low level sales, marketing, and advertising, to creating/directing programs, to managing programs, and finally, to coordinating full scale productions during this golden period of rapid multimedia evolution. In 2019, I arrived at University of Southern California's Annenberg School as a visiting scholar to further understand western media, while performing research on social media between USA and China. As a Chinese media expert, along with many resources in the media industry, my goal is to cultivate more east culture productions, and become the bridge between these products and the world.
