Chinese Cyber Nationalism: Evolution, Characteristics, and Implications

摘要

The title of this book promises a lot, as there is a currently a need to uncover many facets of Chinese online nationalism in order to understand the motivations, ideas, operation and impact of it on both the domestic political scene, i.e. the tension between state and popular nationalism, and the reverberations it creates on the international arena of world politics. The author's main argument is that "this new phenomenon of Chinese cyber nationalism is going to cause more social, economic, political, and technological phenomena in China's historical transition." This may well be the case, but I do not see any strong evidence for it in the present study.
