Abstract

This paper analyses how China has both used its own media outlets and engaged with Pacific media organisations to ‘tell the China story’ in the region in recent years. It also briefly compares China’s media strategy with Australia’s. The research aims to enrich debates on China’s presence in the Pacific Islands region.
