Objectives
The central question we pose is whether or not China can use the ‘digital power’ of the Internet to achieve international recognition as an ‘innovative nation’: in doing this the project will: - critique how government is co-opting key digital platforms to its ‘going out’ campaign; - evaluate the reputation of these platforms internationally and within China; - question the role of Internet users in the ‘going out’ campaign; - identify how the Internet is assisting Chinese culture to go out (zou chuqu) and international culture to find its way into the Chinese market (zou jinlai);
