The revised Chinese Communist Party United Front Work Regulations, promulgated by the CCP in 2021, reflect new requirements for constructing a united front under Xi Jinping’s leadership in the new era. This legislation designates“individuals from new social strata”as targets of the united front, aiming to co-opt new media and private enterprises to align with the Party’s objectives, thereby garnering broad public support to consolidate the political power of the Party Central Committee. Focusing on Chinese private television drama enterprises as a crucial group, this paper employs a mixed-methods approach combining big data and qualitative research to analyze television drama registration data and funding support lists from 2012 to 2022. The research reveals that the CCP strategically leverages market interests and cooptation techniques—including both official and unofficial positions—based on specific opportunities and targets. The goal of this is to construct a tight network within the united front cycle, ensuring the stability and continuity of united front work. |
