This book examines information and public opinion control by the
authoritarian state in response to popular access to information
and upgraded political communication channels among the citizens in
contemporary China. Empowered by mass media, particularly social
media and other information technology, Chinese citizen's access to
information has been expanded. Publicly focusing events and
opinions have served as catalysts to shape the agenda for policy
making and law making, narrow down the set of policy options, and
change the pace of policy implementation. Yet, the authoritarian
state remains in tight control of media, including social media, to
deny the free flow of information and shape public opinion through
a centralized institutional framework for propaganda and
information technologies. The evolving process of media control and
public opinion manipulation has constrained citizen's political
participation and strengthened Chinese authoritarianism in the
information age. The chapters originally published as articles in
the Journal of Contemporary China.
