Abstract
· Within the proviso that one party rule should be maintained, Chinese politics is becoming more pluralistic. The internet is playing a key role in facilitating this increased articulation of interests.
· There is no strong evidence to date that this is leading towards Western-style democratisation. Instead, popular online discussions are dominated by broadly-defined nationalist concerns.
· Internet nationalism tends to be largely event driven and
responsive (though with some signs of a move towards agenda
setting). The main sources of internet nationalism relate to
external interference in issues of Chinese sovereignty and/or perceived external criticisms of the Chinese state or its people.
· The USA and Japan provide the main focus of attention.
Relations with the USA are often a key determinant of how other countries/regions are perceived in online communities.
· There is evidence that internet nationalism has a real, albeit limited, impact on policy making and international relations. The spread of Chinese internet nationalism is reaching beyond China and increasingly relating to other public opinions or political processes.
