As part of its “media going global” initiative, China’s state media have been striving to forge partnerships and cooperation with ethnic Chinese media all over the world. But has China’s soft power push had an impact on the nature and operation of media in the Chinese diaspora, and if so, how? What are the main continuing and emerging political, cultural, and economic forces affecting the contours of the diasporic Chinese media landscape, and to what extent are these forces shaping the relationship between China’s state media and diasporic Chinese media? Approaching these questions through an extended case study of the Chinese media in Australia and in particular the Singtao Daily, this chapter aims to update the formations of diasporic Chinese media, while at the same time pointing to a major rethinking of transnationalism, the Sinophone world, the digital diaspora, and the diasporic public sphere.
