| Summary: | Research on the Chinese Internet has led to a plethora of scholarly
publications over the past two decades. Academic researchers
outside of the Chinese mainland have mostly investigated political
control and online activism whereas those within the mainland
tend to enthuse about the benefits of technology for development.
However, China’s rapidly growing communications landscape
has received little attention internationally
Networking China: The Digital Transformation of the Chinese
Economy is a timely and ground breaking account of major
transformations in China’s communications over the past two
decades, with global warnings attached. The focus of the book is
communications, comprising information and communication
technologies (ICTs), telecommunications, and media.
