'As China struggles to enhance its soft power commensurate with the perceived world-power status, what is the role of foreign correspondents and what are the prisms through which they narrate their China tales in an ensemble? This volume provides a riveting account of the lifeworld of foreign correspondents in China and contributes importantly to the comparative dimension of media and journalists.
