Description

Book Synopsis
Exploring online privacy, cyber-nationalism, and the network market, this book details the crucial and evolving role played by the Internet in present-day China.

Trade Review
"As internet studies in China become more deeply embedded into China’s social and economic domains, it becomes harder for scholars to find new approaches that can tackle and analyse the internet as a whole. Yuan’s book makes a great contribution by presenting China’s internet as discursive fields that are embedded in the very fibre of Chinese society." -- Ping Sun * China Quarterly *
