Featuring leading scholars on ‘Chinese internets’ – in the plural – from around the world, this interdisciplinary book explores the changing digital landscape in China and provides insight into contemporary Chinese techno-geopolitics.

Policymakers, commentators and the mass media have widely viewed ‘Chinese tech’ as a unitary and statist monolith. This predominant view, however, is not only incomplete but has become increasingly obsolete. Using a pluralist and multilayered approach to analysing Chinese techno-geopolitics, this volume addresses the following important questions:

• 
  

  Who are the key players in ‘Chinese internets’ today?

  
  


• 
  

  What role do government agencies, state-owned enterprises, private companies and individual netizens play?

  
  


• 
  

  How do ‘Chinese internets’ operate at the global, regional, national or local levels?

  
  


• 
  

  How are external world or regional events influencing or being influenced by geopolitical patterns within China?

  
  

The Geopolitics of Chinese Internets will be a key resource for policymakers, scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in Chinese techno-geopolitics and the changing digital landscape in China. This book was originally published as a special issue of Information, Communication & Society.
