Chinese government versus consumer culture

I don't typically approve of governments controlling the media and I am,  in fact, a fan of bad reality TV.   Nonetheless, I am sympathetic to concerns that modernization is a mixed bag in terms of changing culture.   The globalization of consumer culture is problematic to say the least.  Still, if people want to watch cheesey dating shows, is there really anything wrong with that?  Cultural purges, whether targeting traditional or modern cultural elements, are just scary.
