China's Weibo Experiment: Social CHINA'S WEIBO EXPERIMENT: SOCIAL MEDIA (NON-) CENSORSHIP AND AUTOCRATIC RESPONSIVENESS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Christopher Marty Cairns May 2017 c 2017 Christopher Marty Cairns ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CHINA'S WEIBO EXPERIMENT: SOCIAL MEDIA (NON-) CENSORSHIP AND AUTOCRATIC RESPONSIVENESS Christopher Marty Cairns, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 Social media's role in facilitating anti-authoritarian protests has received much recent attention. Although a handful of regimes like Tunisia and Ukraine have undergone major changes, savvy autocrats elsewhere have co-opted online space with propaganda while censoring to prevent opposition. Yet in China and other cases, we sometimes observe less censorship than conventional wisdom about au- thoritarian information control would predict. Why do some autocrats choose to censor selectively, and how do they actually implement such fine-grained control? In this project, I argue that allowing limited online criticism can signal regime responsiveness to public demands on issues where leaders' legitimacy is at stake. I develop this logic through a focus on China. Chinese Internet industry interviews address the why and how { i.e. the elite beliefs, and bureaucratic apparatus { behind China's selective censorship since 2011. Second, social media data anal- ysis of online incidents on Sina Weibo (China's Twitter) reveals that censorship is selective even within sensitive issues. The implication of these findings is that leaders' ability and willingness to fine-tune censorship may be vital to maintain- ing popular support (or forestalling dissent) among increasingly educated, urban, Internet-literate publics whose views are crucial to regime survival in rapidly de- veloping authoritarian states. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Christopher Cairns was born in Red Bank, New Jersey but grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado to parents who have always encouraged him to pursue his dreams and inspired him to care about the power of politics to shape individual destinies. At age 18 he left Colorado to begin a journey that first reached Georgetown Uni- versity's School of Foreign Service, where he majored in International Politics as well as studied abroad and worked in Latin America and Indonesia. After grad- uating and then completing a one-year Master's degree in Human Rights at the London School of Economics, he ended up in New York City managing digital media for a major nonprofit, and was influenced by new media's ability to both connect, and persuade citizens. While in New York he also pursued a personal interest in China and Mandarin by self-studying the language in his spare time. These disparate currents { politics, human rights and free expression, China, dig- ital media, and scholarly research { eventually merged together in his plans for graduate school and ultimately, six years in Cornell's Government department, an experience that transformed his professional life. This dissertation is the end product of that journey. iii To my parents, Charles Cairns and Deborah Hamilton, and my wife, June Pan, with whom I share the road of life. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all I am indebted to my dissertation committee, especially my chair Andrew Mertha. Andy always knew just the right nudge to give at the right time, striking a balance between keeping me on track, and leaving me to swim on my own as every graduate student must. His insights into how to clearly articulate the dissertation's real-world import were vital in pulling me out of jargon and into publicly communicating my ideas. He also never failed to offer moral support. As my co-author, Allen Carlson took me through the whole process of creating an article, treating me as equal colleague. He also prompted me to think hard about my target audience. Peter Enns never hesitated to ask the hard questions about my measures and research design. Finally, Daniela Stockmann read my work as a Chinese media expert, provided fieldwork strategies and contacts, and most of all led by example through her own projects. I would also like to thank my fellow graduate students at Cornell and else- where. Elizabeth Plantan and Manfred Elfstrom were awesome co-authors. Wendy Leutert, Isaac Kardon, Lin Fu and many other colleagues provided valuable ideas and support. For those I have neglected to mention, it is due to a lack of space or my own oversight rather than any unworthiness on their part. Funding for this project came from the National Science Foundation, and the Cornell Einaudi Center for International Studies, East Asia Program, and Grad- uate School. During my year of fieldwork I received sponsorship from Peking University's School of Journalism and Communications and would like to thank my host, Professor Wang Xiuli, as well as numerous faculty and students in PKU's Center for Social Media Research. These individuals all provided key interview contacts, ideas and feedback. And of course this project would not have been pos- sible without the participation of numerous interviewees and contacts in China, v who for reasons of confidentiality and security must remain anonymous. Third, I am deeply indebted to my parents, without whose unceasing love and support for the past 32 years I would not be at this point. They taught me the value of hard work and courage in the face of uncertainty, and I am forever grateful. Finally, I must single out my wife, June Pan, who has been my inseparable life companion and fellow doctoral Cornellian ever since we met in Ithaca. From late nights in the library together, to endless discussions about research hurdles, to long shared drives to the nearest major airport, I could never have imagined a more amazing partner to share this epic journey. It may be clich´eto say that marriage (and graduate school!) both fundamentally transform one's life, but with June these two events have been so interwoven that one transformation is unimaginable without the other. I could not have completed this process without her. vi CONTENTS Biographical Sketch . iii Dedication . iv Acknowledgements . .v Contents . vii List of Tables . xi List of Figures . xiii Preface . xiv 1 China And The `Social Media Shock' 1 1.1 Introduction . .1 1.2 Units of Analysis: Breaking Incidents in Issue Areas Resonant With Weibo Users . .8 1.2.1 The Need for a Catalyst . 11 1.3 Case Selection and Scope of Findings: Why China? . 12 1.3.1 Why Social Media?

  • Significant of Social Media and Event Marketing in Developing Countries
    The Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan Republic Significant of Social Media and Event Marketing in Developing Countries Amina Azadli UNEC SABAH Azerbaijan State Economic University MAY 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I am very grateful to everyone who supported me for my dissertation. I would like to express my thanks to my advisor Sabina Akberova. My special thanks go to Elshan Mehtiyev and my family. They gave me moral support during preparation of dissertation. 2 ABSTRACT Under changing world conditions, people see that things change rapidly, either technologically or humanly. People are better able to understand the extent to which this change is compared to changes. In today's consumer- dominated world, marketing executives must evaluate every opportunity they face to start a relationship with the buyer. Marketers must focus on winning a good name and image on the market and earn the trust of their customers. To do this, it must be tightly packed with marketing tools and tactics that require the least amount of time and money. But in reality, achieving this business is not about companies. A sound marketing mix involving Social Media Marketing is crucial for connecting as many potential customers as possible. In this study, social media and event marketing were discussed in developing countries where the young population is older than the elderly and social media is used more by young people. On the topics of Social Media and Event Marketing, a literature study was performed first. Later, a research study was conducted among the citizens of the Developing Country in Social Media and Event marketing.

  • The Limits of Commercialized Censorship in China
    The Limits of Commercialized Censorship in China Blake Miller∗ September 27, 2018 Abstract Despite massive investment in China's censorship program, internet platforms in China are rife with criticisms of the government and content that seeks to organize opposition to the ruling Communist Party. Past works have attributed this \open- ness" to deliberate government strategy or lack of capacity. Most, however, do not consider the role of private social media companies, to whom the state delegates information controls. I suggest that the apparent incompleteness of censorship is largely a result of principal-agent problems that arise due to misaligned incentives of government principals and private media company agents. Using a custom dataset of annotated leaked documents from a social media company, Sina Weibo, I find that 16% of directives from the government are disobeyed by Sina Weibo and that disobedience is driven by Sina's concerns about censoring more strictly than com- petitor Tencent. I also find that the fragmentation inherent in the Chinese political system exacerbates this principal agent problem. I demonstrate this by retrieving actual censored content from large databases of hundreds of millions of Sina Weibo posts and measuring the performance of Sina Weibo's censorship employees across a range of events. This paper contributes to our understanding of media control in China by uncovering how market competition can lead media companies to push back against state directives and increase space for counterhegemonic discourse. ∗Postdoctoral Fellow, Program in Quantitative Social Science, Dartmouth College, Silsby Hall, Hanover, NH 03755 (E-mail: [email protected]). 1 Introduction Why do scathing criticisms, allegations of government corruption, and content about collective action make it past the censors in China? Past works have theorized that regime strategies or state-society conflicts are the reason for incomplete censorship.

  • Contemporary Chinese Politics
    Contemporary Chinese Politics Contemporary Chinese Politics considers how new and diverse sources and methods are changing the study of Chinese politics. Contributors spanning three generations in China studies place their distinct qualitative and quantitative meth- odological approaches in the framework of the discipline and point to challenges or opportunities (or both) of adapting new sources and methods to the study of contemporary China. How can we more effectively use new sources and methods of data collection? How can we better integrate the study of Chinese politics into the discipline of political science, to the betterment of both? How can we more appropriately manage the logistical and ethical problems of doing political research in the challenging Chinese environment? In addressing these questions, this comprehensive methodological survey will be of immense interest to graduate students heading into the fi eld for the fi rst time and experienced scholars looking to keep abreast of the state of the art in the study of Chinese politics. Allen Carlson is an associate professor in Cornell University’s Government Department. He is the author of Unifying China, Integrating with the World: Securing Chinese Sovereignty during the Reform Era (2005) and the coeditor (with J. J. Suh and Peter Katzenstein) of Rethinking Security in East Asia: Power, Identity and Effi ciencies (2004). His articles have appeared in the Journal of Contemporary China and Pacifi c Affairs . Mary E. Gallagher is an associate professor of political science at the University of Michigan and the director of the Center for Chinese Studies.

    In the beginning … water covered the Earth. Out of the water emerged an island, a single giant mass of land; an ancient supercontinent called Pangaea. Over billions of years, tectonic forces broke Pangaea apart, dividing the supercontinent into ever distant land masses: Africa, Eurasia, Australasia, North and South America. As the land masses drifted farther apart, so too did the people who inhabited them.

In this paper, we present a detailed survey of various resource allocation schemes that have been considered for the cellular network’s operation in the unlicensed spectrum. The key channel access mechanisms for cellular network’s operation in the unlicensed bands are discussed. The various channel selection techniques are explored and their operation explained. The prime issue of fairness between cellular and Wi-Fi networks is discussed, along with suitable resource allocation techniques that help in achieving this fairness. We analyze the coverage, capacity, and impact of coordination in LTE-U systems. Furthermore, we study and discuss the impact and discussed the impact of various traffic type, environments, latency, handover, and scenarios on LTE-U’s performance. The new upcoming 5G New Radio and MulteFire is briefly described along with some of the critical aspects of LTE-U which require further research.
