China is a country steeped in history and traditions, many of which affect gender in contemporary Chinese society. The country’s popular message is not exempt from the effect of communist influence and the role of women in the nation’s ancient past.

Its locations are diverse, from the tropics in the south to the sub-arctic in the north. The region is mainly mountainous, coal, iron, petroleum and natural gas are among the main natural resources. As China rapidly industrializes, environmental issues such as air pollution, deforestation, water pollution and significant property damage are increasing. on cultivated land since 1949 due to development and soil erosion (CIA World Factbook website).
The problems caused by China’s recent industrialization come after a long and turbulent history in which the country has experienced extreme hardship and hardship. China has flourished for centuries as the primary civilization of arts, culture and science. Then in the 19th and 20th-century, the country fell prey to rebellions, famine, wars, disasters and foreign occupations. After World War II, Mao Zedong established his Communist, socialist autocratic doctrine and implemented a strict control system. over the daily routines of citizens and cost many thousands more lives. Zedong’s rule promised to rule China, though, and in 1978 his successor, Deng Xiaoping, led an improved economic growth and China. in the modern economy of the world. Because of his efforts, China’s production quadrupled in 2000. Although living standards and personal freedoms have also changed, control over the Chinese people and media remains tight (CIA World Factbook Web site).

As of July 2005, China’s population was estimated at 1.3 billion and growing. Ninety percent of the population is considered to be part of the Han Chinese ethnic group, with other Asian ethnic groups closely swaying the country’s demographic demographics. The major religions in China are Daoism and Buddhism, although the government forces schools to teach atheism. The average Chinese woman has 1.72 children, according to the country’s current fertility rate. The stark difference between the sexes is illustrated by the country’s 2002 literacy rates, however: while 95.1 percent of men can read and write, only 86.5 percent of women can (CIA World Factbook Web site).
The Chinese mass media, like its people, are strictly controlled and directed by the government. According to a 2005 country report by Freedom House, an organization that ranks the degree of freedom in the country’s mass media, China is considered “not free.” The report reads, “Press freedom is severely restricted. The government has accused the media of not criticizing senior CCP leaders or their policies, challenging the CCP’s ideology, and covering ‘sensitive topics’ – specifically, constitutional reform, news stories Overall, they report men on CCTV. The balance of this type is actually better than the news on ABC, where men reported four times more stories than women (ABC News handout, Table 1). ABC news data based on stories reported during the week of 7-11, 2005. TABLE II. WOMEN DEDICATED TO WOMEN (descending the order

Although compared to ABC news, CCTV was much more equal than the US channel in terms of reporting. This finding can be understood when examined in the context of Hofstede’s 2001 data on the Masculinity Values Index for 50 States and Three States. According to this data, United States has a manhood index rating of 62; Although mainland China is not included in Hofstede’s data, Taiwan and Hong Kong are and are given ratings of 57 and 45.
The relative balance between male and female CCTV reporters also extends to the types of stories covered by both genders. Women reporters covered international, domestic and domestic/int’l stories, and there did not seem to be a distinction between the types of stories covered by male and female reporters. But of the few cultural or human stories that appeared in the Chinese news, most of them were reported by women.
In the Chinese press, government censorship of stories, especially those focused on Chinese public affairs, was evident. Most of the domestic news reports about summits or leaders’ meetings, commemorations, celebrations and other events were positive. Some of those stories actually seemed ridiculous – several meetings between Chinese and foreign leaders were seen to be so, for example. This finding was reported on the Free House rankings, in which China rated media that are definitely “not free”. Compared to the United States’ order of “free” the difference between the two is clear in looking at their message.
Ore, coding and analyzing Chinese news about gender roles revealed a relative equality between the sexes in them. reporting the news (reporters and anchors), but it is relatively uneven in the breeding of female journalists compared to the United States. While the differences are surprising and surprising, the Chinese have also been found to be different representatives of the communist district of the country, which is torn between modernization and maintaining its autonomy in the developing world.
The most interesting finding in this CCTV analysis was the lack of women as cashiers compared to the majority of female reporters and anchors. While there were 23 in total
there were only 17 female reporters. This was partly due to the number of stories that focus on politics within China, an area where fewer women hold positions than men. This is somewhat contrary to the United States ABC findings, in which there were more female news reporters than female reporters. The types of women’s news also differed between the two regions; While political figures make up a substantial part of the ABC’s female news anchors, the vast majority of Chinese women broadcast experts on CCTV. Nathan Mager, who reported only one story, was the only minority reporter – he was British or Australian. Edwin Maher, one of the anchors, was also white British. All other reporters and anchors sang (most of the stories only the reporters voiced and did not show them on camera) or the Chinese appeared. Edwin Maher appeared to be in charge, 50. None of the female anchors or reporters seen on camera appeared to be over 50. On two days, the anchor was a white British male named Edwin Maher. The other four days were anchored by two different Chinese women, Li Dongning and Liang Hong. An article comparing women in Chinese news media compared to American news media, Chinese news week. The CCTV footage was coded and analyzed. The tables below show the results of this coding.
