dc.description.abstract	The phenomenon of the amalgamation of popular idols, idol fandom and online Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda has developed over the last decade. This research explores the transformation of popular idols and fandom culture under a politically constrained environment. It focuses on the key drivers of the transformation of fandom culture from an individualistic, youth-driven movement to a weapon of cyber nationalists and analyses how the Chinese party-state has appropriated idol and fandom culture to guide and control young people.	en_AU
