Abstract:

〖WTBZ]Communication studies have been going on in China for 30 years. During that period, China has studied, imported, and absorbed Western communication studies, and has constructed its own communication theory and media industry. As a result, China's communication studies developed into four academic groups of Marxism, innovation & reform, marketization, and criticism. Even though, China's communication studies are still in a lower level, lacking a healthy and scientific academic surrounding and public credibility, without a normal criticism, having serious utilitarianism and industrialization: it has not developed its own theory and still in the stage of interpreting China with Western discourse.
