Today the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project<https://gmicp.org/> is releasing a report that analyses recent development and concentration trends in China's communication, internet and media industries:


-  The report can be accessed here<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-china-2019-2021/> and was prepared by: Min Jiang, Professor, Department of Communication Studies, University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Xiaofei Han, Senior Research Associate, Ph.D. Candidate, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University; Jing (Kristen) Zhang, M.A. Student, Department of Communication Studies, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

These follow editions we have published in the last few months on the state of media and internet concentration in Brazil, Switzerland, Argentina, Canada, Italy, France and South Korea. Others will be out soon, with the end goal a library of regularly updated reports for all of the nearly 40 countries that make up the GMICP.

This report includes insights such as:


-  With an estimated size of USD$652 billion in 2021, China's media and internet economy was the second largest in the world

 - The state represents a lynchpin of China's media and internet economy with diverse state-owned enterprises producing low concentration in the broadcast TV and radio, film exhibition, books and pay TV sectors, while state-owned entities made significant new entries into wireless and ISP markets.

 -  Revenue across the Chinese media and internet economy grew by an astonishing 25% in 2019-2021, despite the impact of the Covid pandemic dampening growth in many sectors across the global economy

And finally:


-  Please review any of our reports and the underlying data sets here<https://gmicp.org/reports-2/>.


-  We are delighted to be presenting our research at the ICA conference<https://www.icahdq.org/mpage/ica24> in Australia in June, IAMCR<https://iamcr.org/christchurch2024> in New Zealand in July, and will be convening our own symposium<https://gmicp.org/event/sydney-symposium/> at the University of Sydney shortly afterwards.


-  Finally, we invite other researchers to contribute their expertise to our efforts – please reach out to us here<https://gmicp.org/contact-us/>.
