What are the positive effects of Inter-Asian media culture connections?

Inter-Asian media culture connections can work as a great opportunity for many people to critically review the state of their own culture, society and historical relationship with other parts of countries in Asia. The mediated encounter with other Asian modernities may make people in East Asia realize that they now inhabit the same developmental time zone as other parts of East Asia. They mutually appreciate how common experiences of modernization, urbanization, Westernization, and globalization are similarly and differently represented in other East Asian contexts. This displays a great possibility of cross-national dialogues engendered by media culture flows. Media cultures have connected East Asia in new, dialogic manners: dialogic, not in the sense of actually meeting in person to talk to each other, but in the sense of rethinking one’s own life, society and culture as well as socio-historically constructed relations and perceptions with others, critically and self-reflexively, via mediated cultures.
