From social media platforms such as WeChat and Douyin to utility platforms Didi and Eleme, the Chinese platform economy has shown a remarkable capability of innovation and growth, receiving great limitation as well as protection from the Chinese state.\n\nThis is the first textbook to centre Chinese platforms in the transformation of the global internet. Offering an overview of the history, governance and social-political implications, the book shows how Chinese platforms are situated within the domestic political economy of China, and the external geopolitics and cross-border mobilities of capital, technology and populations. \n\nTopics covered include policy and governance, social media entertainment, e-commerce, digital labour, and the Chinese diaspora. Comparing and contrasting the Chinese platform ecology with its global counterpart, the book argues that while Chinese platforms exhibit more effective economic and technological innovation and have strong cultural cachet, they are subject to a far greater degree of state oversight, including facilitation as well as correction and censorship.\n\n\u003cem\u003eChinese Platforms\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read for advanced students of Media and Communication Studies and China Studies, as well as those interested in the rise of digital China and its connections and implications for the global platform society.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871380361452,"sku":"9781509559183","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12614083482725.jpg?v=1759875833"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/ping-sun.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
