This text aims to identify the most important political, socio-economic and technical determinants of internet development in China, through a historical approach that combines political economy, cultural, and public studies. Firstly, the book looks at the most important strategies that compelled the Chinese government to invest in the construction of the internet infrastructure. Secondly, it examines the relationships between the development of the internet in China and the emergence of a nascent civil society. Finally, attention is given to three different Chinese online platforms in three different historical periods.
