The Geopolitics of Chinese Internets
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-69004-9 (ISBN)
Policymakers, commentators and the mass media have widely viewed ‘Chinese tech’ as a unitary and statist monolith. This predominant view, however, is not only incomplete but has become increasingly obsolete. Using a pluralist and multilayered approach to analysing Chinese techno-geopolitics, this volume addresses the following important questions:
Who are the key players in ‘Chinese internets’ today?
What role do government agencies, state-owned enterprises, private companies and individual netizens play?
How do ‘Chinese internets’ operate at the global, regional, national or local levels?
How are external world or regional events influencing or being influenced by geopolitical patterns within China?
The Geopolitics of Chinese Internets will be a key resource for policymakers, scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in Chinese techno-geopolitics and the changing digital landscape in China. This book was originally published as a special issue of Information, Communication & Society.
