Description

This book examines the internet's role in China and the intricate dynamics between government control and public discourse. It analyses the "semi-structured" online public sphere, where political communication operates within constraints imposed by censorship and state regulation, yet still permits some liberal debate. The work explores power relations in online political communications and investigates the struggles between government authorities and the public over internet usage and content. Drawing on extensive research, the author argues that whilst the Chinese internet enables certain forms of equal political expression, these discussions remain fundamentally limited by government oversight, censorship mechanisms, and underlying social inequalities. The book provides crucial insight into how digital platforms function as contested spaces where state power intersects with emerging forms of public participation, making it essential reading for understanding contemporary Chinese politics, internet governance, and digital public spheres in authoritarian contexts.

Key Features
