Description: Rongbin Han offers a powerful counterintuitive explanation for China's survival in the digital age. Han reveals how the state, service providers, and netizens negotiate the limits of discourse, interrogating our assumptions about authoritarian resilience and the internet's democratizing power.
Review Quotes: How has the Internet changed state-society relations in China? How have social groups engaged in a "guerrilla war" with the authorities over cyberspace? And how is the Internet remaking China? In this empirically rich work, Rongbin Han has provided us with a vivid analysis of the interactions between the state and society in China's cyberspace. Those who are interested in cyber affairs must read this brilliant book.--Zheng Yongnian, National University of Singapore
