Wenchun WU
Abstract: Network ideological crisis has its own unique presentation, which has the characteristics such as thetechnicality of generation, the essential sociality and the particularity of information etc. The reasons for the formationof the network ideological crisis are related to several aspects that the imperfection of the public appeal mechanism, thelack of government governance capacity, the mastery of net work technology, the boost of network media and theextreme behavior of Internet users. The handling of the network ideological crisis could be carried out from thefollowing aspects: managing according to law, grasping the source, standardizing the requirements, comprehensively
coordinating the management and improving the quality of Internet users.
Key words: Ideological Crisis; Network Crisis; Emergency Management Mechanism
Nowadays, the network with its unique characteristics expands the space and form of the ideology function, andprovides new opportunities for the development of national ideology. However, this aggregator with the function of
public opinion dissemination and social mobilization also has the harm of spreading erroneous ideas. In any country,
there are one network crisis after another which bring by the hostile forces at home and abroad who use the network
platform to dump the values of other countries, to distort their own history, to question and slander the ruling party.
When the historical nihilism, Neoliberalism and other erroneous social thoughts are waiting for the opportunity to riseand strive to seize the right of ideological network discourse, all of these pose a threat the ideological security of thecountry, and we have to actively take countermeasures.
