This paper take China as its focus and analyzes the implications of the globalizing internet on global communication. First in terms of history, China tends to promote “both cyber sovereignty and globalization.” There is both censorship and an emphasis on self-determination and also extensive participation in the “global digital capitalist system.” Next in terms of power, state-capital interaction and the concept of Chinese internet as a integrated system of different facets prove to be rather important, more so than power. Lastly, in terms of governance, the authors note that “the rise of parochial and antiglobalization on the international scene” continually imposes changes in context. Additionally, contradictory interests contrast China’s effective free-flow policy with stated practices and tradition. Overall, analyzing Chinese globalizing internet showcases the interesting communication; however, the paper posits that there are many inconsistencies across the board.
