Introduction
The Sociopolitical Internet in China
Lokman Tsui
Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, USA
The internet is the latest phenomenon in China and has caught the attention of media and academia alike. However, attention has hitherto been primarily concentrated on the implications of the internet for China’s democratization. What is still missing is the inquiry about the sociopolitical diffusion and development of the internet in China beyond the democratization frame.
Key Words: internet • democratization • censorship • tiyong
