Abstract

Reviews 407 American citizens might wish that a certain degree of “positive energy” could be injected into their political discourse, although censorship is undoubtedly an unpalatable solution. In both countries, the internet failed to deliver a second Enlightenment, for reasons that remain unclear. Meanwhile, censorship continues to tighten in China. Beyond blocking a growing number of foreign services, regulators scrutinize domestic news and entertainment platforms—the apps Kuaishou and Jinri Toutiao have both had recent run-ins with the government for hosting inappropriate content. This is in line with Lorentzen’s prediction that regulation of the media should tighten as more of it is shared online. Tighter restrictions on speech in tandem with ever-more centralized political power mean that the guardians of China’s internet will have to be ever more creative in order to solve the Dictator’s Dilemma of finding out the truth when one holds all the power. James Sundquist James Sundquist is a Ph.D. student at Yale University, studying international political economy and Chinese politics. NOTES 1.
