Chinese Politics Mini-Conference: Information Politics: Collection, Communication, and Processing

Part of Mini-Conference
Session Description
The capacity and durability of a political system is profoundly shaped by the ways it collects, digests, and communicates information. This panel draws on new sources of data—including a corpus of classified Chinese documents, a set of 197,000 social media posts, a survey experiment of university students, and a field experiment of citizen monitoring on government agencies—to add to our knowledge of the politics of information in China. The papers cover various aspects of the information dynamics, such as how critical information is connected, the patterns of communication between the state and the public, and how information is processed by the leadership.
