This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of China'sinformation society. It explores the key practical challengesfacing Chinese politicians as they try to marry the development ofmodern information and communications technology with old ways ofgoverning their people and conducting international relations.Fundamental realities of the information age, not least itsglobalizing character, are forcing the pace of technological changein China and are not fully compatible with the old PRC ethics ofstability, national industrial strength and sovereignty. Whathappens to China in future decades will depend on the ethicalchoices its leaders are willing to make today. The stakes are high.But if China's ruling party does not adapt more aggressivelyto the defining realities of power and social organization in theinformation age, the 'China dream' looks unlikely tobecome a reality.
