Abstract

It is a commonplace among scholars that the Internet plays an increasingly important role in Chinese public life (Hassid, 2012). This includes a strong focus on the articulation of an alternative political discourse (Gleiss, 2015). According to a nationwide survey, typical Chinese netizens are “politically opinionated, supportive of democratic rules and critical about party-state” (Lei, 2011).
