Features: In the process of media industrialization in China, the government plays an irreplaceable and important role. It is both the initial driving force behind media industrialization and the primary force throughout the entire process. At the same time, government actions become the object of transformation in media industrialization, with continuous adjustments between regulation and deregulation, forming a game-like relationship between the media industry and government behavior. Government actions during the media industrialization process should be characterized by deregulation, greater scientific approaches, and a foundation based on the rule of law, representing an incremental reform. This book analyzes the driving forces behind China's media industrialization, arguing that the government has a dual nature in this process. It examines government behavior in media industrial layout, as well as the relationship between government actions and the development of China's media industry. It explores the relationship between local government and media industrialization, as well as the connection between government regulation in the media industry and press freedom. It also analyzes the manifestations of poor and deviant government behavior during media industrialization and proposes countermeasures. The book primarily uses Singapore and South Korea as examples to conduct an international comparison of the relationship between the media industry and the government. The government holds an extremely important position in the sustainable development of the media industry, and it is essential to build a harmonious relationship between the media industry and the government.
