The overall aims of this three-year EU-funded project are to raise the profile of media law and policy not only within Chinese academic circles but also with the regulatory and government bodies tasked with media supervision and development. Seminars, meetings and research activities will result in greater clarity in terms of interpretation of the law as it relates to the media and specifically under the new Tort law, which will give greater confidence to the courts as they apply the law in media cases, and to the media groups in terms of knowing where the boundaries lie.
