Description
Book SynopsisChinese Cyber Nationalism offers the first comprehensive examination of the social and ideological movement that mixes Confucian cultural traditions and advanced media technology. Over the past decade, the Internet has increasingly become a communication center, organizational platform, and channel of execution by which Chinese nationalistic causes have been promoted throughout the world. Dr. Xu Wu chronicles the movement''s evolutionary path through five distinct developing phases that cover the span of twelve years. Through the use of online surveys and in-depth interviews with foreign policy makers, nationalist webmasters, and leading intellectuals in China, this book analyzes the characteristics and political implications of the movement. Xu presents a unique framework for scholars to understand China''s modernization and historic return onto the world stage. Chinese Cyber Nationalism is a important addition to the study of political communication and China''s foreign policy.
Trade ReviewXu Wu's book is a tour de force of Chinese cyber nationalism. It makes a major contribution to the burgeoning literature of Chinese nationalism that has caused more and more scholarly scrutiny when China is rising to the status of a global power. No serious scholar of Chinese nationalism can afford to miss this fascinating book. -- Suisheng Zhao, Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver, and Editor of Journal of Contemporary China
