The book also examines the distinct technological means and political/legal regulations/restrictions used for Internet control, unique characteristics, and the implications of their influences on the political change and social transformation of the world’s most populous country. It illuminates the fierce competition between the authorities and the newly networked Chinese society by looking at how Chinese netizens make every possible effort to gain access to the Internet for truth and make their voices and views heard, while how the authorities use whatever possible means to prevent that from happening. The in-depth analyses of how these challenges, dilemmas and battles have been affecting and changing China’s political system, the ruling communist ideology, the public’s access to information as well as the expression of the public’s discourse are relevant to policymakers and analysts in both business and government sectors, as well as scholars and researchers with an interest in Asian Studies, Chinese Studies, communication, new media, political science, and sociology.Communication, Culture and Change in Asia,2366-4673 ;9Digital mediaInternetSocial aspectsSocial mediaAsiaPolitics and governmentPolitical planningDigital and New MediaInternet StudiesSocial MediaAsian PoliticsPublic PolicyDigital media.InternetSocial aspects.Social media.AsiaPolitics and government.Political planning.Digital and New Media.Internet Studies.Social Media.Asian Politics.Public Policy.302.231Hong Junhao651294MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910983349003321China's Internet in The 2000s4316835UNINA
