Biography
Wanning Sun, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
John Sinclair, University of Melbourne, Australia
"In this sequel to Media and the Chinese Diaspora (5th ed., 2006), coeditors Sun (Univ. of Technology, Sydney) and Sinclair (Univ. of Melbourne) investigate the changes in information technologies that have shaped the communication behaviors of Chinese people across the diaspora. Though mainland China endeavors to change its global image, how it exercises its soft power has affected historical relationships with the diaspora in both subtle and obvious manners."
