Reviews

An excellent volume on Chinese social media platforms, and their multiple facets in economy, culture, and politics--all sponsored by the partystate, yet the landscape is full of tensions. Highly recommended. --JACK QIU, professor, Department of Communications and New Media, National University of Singapore
