Manufacturing Consent in Cyberspace: China's “Fifty-Cent Army”

Rongbin Han · 1 Jun 2015

Studies on public expression in China tend to focus on how the state and internet users (netizens) struggle over the limits of online expression. Few have systematically traced discourse competition within state-imposed boundaries, particularly how the authoritarian state has adapted to manage, rather than censor, online expression. This paper explores and evaluates the state's attempts…

The article first considers who these traders are, portraying them as, typically, members of the upper…

Chinese Economic Statecraft: A Comparative Study of China's Oil-backed Loans in Angola and Brazil

Ana Cristina Alves · 1 Mar 2013

Africa's and South America's rich endowments of resources and great need for infrastructure development make them perfect candidates for China's “infrastructure-for-resources” loans. Over the past decade, such an arrangement for pursuing China's resource-security goals overseas – namely, securing long-term supply contracts and accessing exploration rights – has proved more effective in Africa than in South…
