The impact of ideological intensification on media control

Instructions

The title of my essay will be “The impact of ideological intensification on media control since Xi Jinping came to power. ”

The purpose of this research is to discuss the impact of Xi Jinping’s regime on Chinese politics in terms of ideology and media control. The research will focus on the period after Xi Jinping’s rise to power, exploring the causes, processes, possible consequences, and importance of ideological and media control in China. The paper will be a piece of analytical prose that uses research evidence to explain the specificity and extent of ideological and media control in China’s political sphere. The study will concentrate on the period following Xi Jinping’s ascension to power, investigating the causes, processes, potential consequences, and significance of ideological and media control in China. The paper will be an analytical prose piece that will use research evidence to explain the specificity and scope of ideological and media control in China’s political sphere.

By researching academic papers and authoritative Chinese and foreign media reports as references, the essay will first examine what role ideology and media control has played in Chinese rule and why it is essential in China, secondly explore how Xi Jinping has increased his control over ideology and media since coming to power, and then examine the political challenges that ideology and media control may pose to Chinese rule. The study may also compare ideological and media control in China and foreign countries horizontally to highlight the particular role that ideological and media control plays in China.

This thesis will explain ideology and media control more specifically, with the possible disadvantage of not being comprehensive and objective enough.
