Abstract
The Chinese state is leading a neoliberal transformation in China's rural area. A growing number of rural topic TV dramas choose to follow its agenda. However, it is not clear why the TV drama industry gets involved in this rural transformation process, and how much these dramas can help the state to carry out its policies. This study aims to address these issues. By conducting in-depth interviews with government officials, drama professionals and peasants in two villages, supplemented by analyses of relevant literature and archives, this research reveals how China's rural neoliberal transformation process looks like when it intersects with China's media marketisation process. It concludes that the Chinese state is increasingly collaborating with the market for the interpenetration of political-economic interests, and thereby joins the global discussion on how neoliberalism, as a way of governing, works in different socio-political contexts.
