{"product_id":"9781925281422","title":"Trickle-Down Censorship : An Outsider's Account of Working Inside China's Censorship Regime","description":"A Westerner's inside look into the workings of Chinese society. For six years, from 2005 to 2011, Australian JFK Miller worked in Shanghai for English-language publications censored by state publishers under the aegis of the Chinese Communist Party. In this wry memoir, he offers a view of that regime, as he saw it, as an outsider from the bottom up. 'Trickle-Down Censorship' explores how censorship affected him, a Westerner who took free speech for granted. It is about how he learned censorship in a system where the rules are kept secret; it is about how he became his own Thought Police through self-censorship; it is about the peculiar relationship he developed with his censors, and the moral choices he made as a result of censorship and how, having made those choices, he viewed others. This is also the story of a re-emerging colossus - China, the world's most populous nation and one of its oldest civilizations - and how the Chinese relate to foreigners and the outside world. The so-called \"clash of civilizations\" is played out in the microcosm of JFK Miller's experience working under Chinese state censorship.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hybrid Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137254342896,"sku":"9781925281422","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781925281422_p0.jpg?v=1763634439","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781925281422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
