Is China Canceling the Internet?
Channel: New America
Date: 09/12/2021

Many Western consumer tech platforms are giving up on China, and the government in Beijing has been pursuing a sweeping crackdown on many of its own domestic technology giants, in what looks to be part of a broader reset of the relationship between state and society in the communist-led but at times market-loving country. The shifts coincide with the imposition of one of the toughest data-protection regimes in the world.

Where is China heading? What do recent events mean for China’s relationship with the West and Chinese tech leadership and competitiveness?
