Miniblog In China
Download as PPT, PDF1 like609 views
Chinese social media and microblogging platforms have seen rapid growth in recent years. These new media platforms have begun to challenge the control and influence of China's state-run traditional media. They have enabled Chinese citizens to discuss social issues and organize social movements. However, the Chinese government actively censors and regulates new media to control discussions and restrict activism. Some activists have found ways to bypass censorship to spread information and raise awareness of issues, but also face harassment and detainment from authorities. The impact of new media on China's social and political landscape remains unclear as the space for public discourse expands but government control also tightens.
