China's Information Revolution

Image

China is in the nascent stages of a momentous transition. The development of participatory media technologies, such as Weblogs, Wikis, and Social Network Services, are transforming communication. Will this significantly alter the Chinese political system by promoting the growth of a networked public sphere? Or will China's authoritarian regime ultimately domesticate Chinese cyberspace, turning it into an Orwellian monster?
