The CAP Roundtable on 30 Years of the Chinese internet and beyond
Since its first connection to the global internet in 1994, the Chinese internet has undergone a significant development marked by enormous user scale, vibrant online culture, and uncanny governance. Over the decades, numerous internet enterprises have emerged, grown, and disappeared, while international capital has entered, and national protection and regulation have taken place. The transition from portal websites and social media to mobile internet platforms, along with the vast user market and active capital investments, has facilitated the innovation and upgrade of China's internet technology and industry. To some extent, the Chinese internet has become a new ground zero for innovation, entrepreneurship, and disagreement.
The Chinese internet is entering its 30-year anniversary in 2024. Looking back at these thirty years, marked by fulfilled hopes, unexpected outcomes, and significant power shifts at home and abroad, we need to ask future-oriented questions: What does the internet mean for China and beyond? What does China or Chinese-ness mean for the internet and for the UN’s Global Goals? What are the lessons from the Chinese Internet to the world regarding economy, culture, governance, and research? How should we understand the global and globalizing features of the Chinese internet? Ultimately, what new questions, perspectives, and methods should be applied? In this session, a group of invited scholars from diverse backgrounds including critical political economy, media industries research, and media and cultural studies, along with engaging audiences, will reflect and revisit the history and the future of Chinese internet and internet research.
