Abstract
Chinese journalism became more professional during the reform era, escaping the old propaganda model under Party control. However, of late a new industry has emerged. Based on interviews, fieldwork, and other material, this article focuses on the Guangzhou provincial party media group and its affiliated “public sentiment” (yuqing) business sector, which arose to cope with the decline in print media by developing a clientelist relationship to Party institutions. The group takes preemptive measures to maintain regime stability by collecting information to help the Party manage crises and troubleshooting potential dangers to the state, representing an innovative paradigm for maintaining stability.
