Reviews

This book makes a substantial and original contribution to knowledge in an area of growing international interest. Minghua Wu develops strong case studies that are effectively illustrative of her overall themes. Her ability to link Western and Chinese scholarship on the development and operation of sites such as Weibo makes this an important contribution to the internationalization of digital media or social media. -Terry Flew, Professor of Communication and Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology
