O’Brien, Chair Professor Christopher Ansell Professor David Collier Professor Rachel Stern Professor Thomas Gold Fall 2012 Challenging the Regime, Defending the Regime: Contesting Cyberspace in China © 2012 by Rongbin Han Abstract Challenging the Regime, Defending the Regime: Contesting Cyberspace in China By Rongbin Han Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Kevin J. O’Brien, Chair Drawing on twelve months of fieldwork and over two years of in-depth online ethnographic work, the dissertation examines state management and popular activism on Chinese internet forums as a window onto China’s authoritarian state. Through examination of state management and popular activism on Chinese internet forums, I find not only a conventional cat-and-mouse censorship game in which the party-state, intermediary actors and forum users struggle over the limits of online expression, but also discourse competition in which the regime, its critics and netizens engineer popular opinion to their advantage. I find that censorship is more complicated than the usual picture of state-society confrontation. It involves the fragmented state, many intermediary actors and netizens with diverse purposes and motivations. To understand the mechanism of the censorship, I trace the evolution of the state censorship system, and explore its external challenges and internal fragmentation (Chapter 2). I also examine forum managers’ censorship responsibilities and their “discontented compliance” as a response to state control and netizens’ demands (Chapter 3). My examination of netizen activism shows that forum users engage in “pop activism” that blurs the boundary of political participation and popular entertainment (Chapter 4). In the censorship game, though state coercive power establishes the basic logic of censorship, technological know-how and expressive creativity enable forum managers and netizens to counterbalance state control. In discourse competition, both the regime and its critics have attempted to engineer popular opinion through anonymous public relations strategies. The state’s attempts to turn propaganda into public relations through mobilization of paid internet commentators – popularly known as the “fifty cents army” –frequently backfire and chip away at its legitimacy (Chapter 5). However, regime critics’ efforts in discourse competition have produced the political framing of regime challengers as saboteurs of the nation rather than freedom fighters (Chapter 6), leading to the rise of pro-regime netizen communities that voluntarily defend the authoritarian regime. By examining how these regime-defending netizens adopt their identity, construct a community and sustain pro-regime discourse, I challenge assumptions about the internet's democratizing power (Chapter 7). My dissertation presents a nuanced picture of internet politics and a complex pattern of state-society interaction in a reforming authoritarian regime. Unlike earlier work which assumes a control-liberalization relationship between the state and the netizens, both of which are implicitly treated as single entities, my dissertation highlights the internal fragmentation of Chinese state and challenges the assumption of a monolithic internet that is inherently liberalizing and democratizing. 1 These findings also speak to both the literature on authoritarian resilience as well as recent work on technological empowerment. As scholars devote more attention to understanding varieties of authoritarianism and authoritarian resilience, my work suggests that the "authoritarian resilience" literature focuses too heavily on the regime’s adaptability without sufficient attention to the nature and impact of challenges towards the regime. My findings also propose that work on "technological empowerment" overemphasizes the emancipatory character of the internet while neglecting the limitations of internet mobilization. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents i List of Abbreviations ii Acknowledgments iii Chapter One Introduction 1 Chapter Two Harmonizing the Internet: State Control over Online Expression 21 Chapter Three To Comply or Resist? : Sandwiched Forum Administrators 36 Chapter Four Pop Activism: Playful Netizens in Chinese Cyberspace 51 Chapter Five Manufacturing Consent: State-Sponsored Internet Commentators 66 Chapter Six Manufacturing Distrust: Political Opposition Online and the Backlash 81 Chapter Seven Defending the Regime: The “Voluntary Fifty Cents Army” 96 Chapter Eight Conclusion 110 Bibliography 118 Appendices 146 i LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS CCP: Chinese Communist Party CCYLCC: Chinese Communist Youth League Central Committee COD: Central Organizational Department CPD: Central Propaganda Department CPPCC: Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference GAPP: General Administration of Press and Publication GFW: Great Firewall ICPs: Internet Content Providers ISPs: Internet Service Providers NGO: Non-Governmental Organization NPC: National People’s Congress MEI: Ministry of Electronic Industries MII: Ministry of Information Industry MIIT: Ministry of Industry and Information Technology MOC: Ministry of Culture MOE: Ministry of Education MPS: Ministry of Public Security MPT: Ministry of Postal and Telecommunications MSS: Ministry of State Security NPC: National People’s Congress SC: State Council SARFT: State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television SCIO: State Council Information Office ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation project was an intellectual long march of sorts, which could not have been accomplished without intellectual, financial and emotional support from many individuals and institutions. My academic career can be traced back to Peking University and National University of Singapore where professors provided me with solid training in political science and allowed me to develop my interests freely. I am particularly grateful to Dr. Ran Mei, Dr. An Chen, Dr. Yongshun Cai and Dr. Yusaku Horiuchi for their grate courses and mentoring. I am also grateful to these two institutions where I have made lasting friends who have continuously supported my intellectual pursuits. At the University of California Berkeley, I am lucky enough to have met Tom Gold, Chris Ansell, David Collier, Rachel Stern and Kevin O’Brien. Tom has helped me tremendously by referring me to relevant sources and people in the field. Chris has not only helped intellectually by providing guidance when I need, but also been extremely patient when I was working slowly on my chapters. David, a crystal sharp thinker, helped shape the dissertation project in critical ways from the beginning to the end. Rachel read and commented all chapters before they were polished thoroughly. Her sharp and critical input has been crucial in finalizing the project. Kevin has been my all-time and all-weather mentor. He saw me through the whole project and provided encouragement, advice and guidance through our numerous interactions, in person, via email, or over phone, or even on the hiking trails of Mount Diablo. I also received invaluable comments and suggestions from many other faculty members at Berkeley, particularly You-Tien Hsing, Peter Lorentzen, Lowell Dittmer, Steve Weber, and Qiang Xiao. I am grateful to them for their input to the project. Many of my friends and colleagues at Berkeley also helped me with the project in various ways. I benefited from comments and suggestions from Margaret Boittin, Crystal Chang, Sara Newland, Kristi Govella, Ivo Plsek, Alexsia Chan, Suzanne Scoggins, John Yasuda, Seung-Youn Oh, Julia Chuang, Jennifer Choo, Chris Sullivan, Lina Hu, Paulina Hartono, Zongshi Chen, Suowei Xiao, Li Shao, Xiao Liu, Gang Wang, Xiaohui Lin, Nicholas Bartlett, Emily Chua, Albert Wu, Shih-Yang Kao, Jonathan Hassid, Chungmin Tsai, Carsten Vala, John Givens, and many others. I am particularly grateful to Julia, Sara, Alexsia, Suzanne, and Paulina, who helped tremendously edit and polish my chapters. Many scholars outside Berkley also contributed to the project. My conversations with Guobin Yang, Yong Hu, Yunchao Wen, Jing Zhao at 2009 China Internet Research Conference inspired me a lot as the project was just gaining momentum. I am also truly grateful to Maria Repnikova, Ashley Esarey, Min Jiang, Bingchun Meng and many others, who offered great questions and comments from when I presented chapters at several conferences. I also want to thank many Chinese citizens and netizens who have helped me in data collection. I have preserved their anonymity to avoid causing them any trouble, but their contributions are an indispensible part of this project. They are anonymous heroes and I owe them my deepest gratitude. Special thanks also go to staff members in the Political Science general office, especially Andrea Rex, Janet Newhall, Gwen Fox, and Suzan Nunes for their help with various complicated

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 98. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/98 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/98 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Tradition and Transformation: Cataloguing Chinese Art in the Middle and Late Imperial Eras Abstract After obtaining sovereignty, a new emperor of China often gathers the imperial collections of previous dynasties and uses them as evidence of the legitimacy of the new regime. Some emperors go further, commissioning the compilation projects of bibliographies of books and catalogues of artistic works in their imperial collections not only as inventories but also for proclaiming their imperial power. The imperial collections of art symbolize political and cultural predominance, present contemporary attitudes toward art and connoisseurship, and reflect emperors’ personal taste for art. The attempt of this research project is to explore the practice of art cataloguing during two of the most important reign periods in imperial China: Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (r. 1101-1125) and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (r. 1736-1795). Through examining the format and content of the selected painting, calligraphy, and bronze catalogues compiled by both emperors, features of each catalogue reveal the development of cataloguing imperial artistic collections.

  • Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan
    Performing Shakespeare in Contemporary Taiwan by Ya-hui Huang A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire Jan 2012 Abstract Since the 1980s, Taiwan has been subjected to heavy foreign and global influences, leading to a marked erosion of its traditional cultural forms. Indigenous traditions have had to struggle to hold their own and to strike out into new territory, adopt or adapt to Western models. For most theatres in Taiwan, Shakespeare has inevitably served as a model to be imitated and a touchstone of quality. Such Taiwanese Shakespeare performances prove to be much more than merely a combination of Shakespeare and Taiwan, constituting a new fusion which shows Taiwan as hospitable to foreign influences and unafraid to modify them for its own purposes. Nonetheless, Shakespeare performances in contemporary Taiwan are not only a demonstration of hybridity of Westernisation but also Sinification influences. Since the 1945 Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party, or KMT) takeover of Taiwan, the KMT’s one-party state has established Chinese identity over a Taiwan identity by imposing cultural assimilation through such practices as the Mandarin-only policy during the Chinese Cultural Renaissance in Taiwan. Both Taiwan and Mainland China are on the margin of a “metropolitan bank of Shakespeare knowledge” (Orkin, 2005, p. 1), but it is this negotiation of identity that makes the Taiwanese interpretation of Shakespeare much different from that of a Mainlanders’ approach, while they share certain commonalities that inextricably link them. This study thus examines the interrelation between Taiwan and Mainland China operatic cultural forms and how negotiation of their different identities constitutes a singular different Taiwanese Shakespeare from Chinese Shakespeare.

  • Li Shangyin the History Poems
    twelve Li Shangyin The History Poems 李商隱, 詠史 Li Shangyin, On History1 歷覽前賢國與家 I have read of all former worthies, of their families and domains, 成由勤儉破由奢 success came from earnestness and restraint, ruin came from excess.2 何須琥珀方為枕 What need must it be amber before one can have a pillow?3 豈得珍珠始是車 why should one have to have pearls in order to have a carriage?4 ————— 1. 29200; Jijie 347; Ye (1985) 134; Zhou 102. 2. Han Feizi, Shi guo 十過: You Yu 由余 was sent on a diplomatic mission to Qin, where Duke Mu asked why rulers gained or lost their domains. You Yu replied: “They always gain it by restraint and lose it by excess” 常以儉得之, 以奢失之. 3. There are several amber pillows mentioned in the historical record. Zhou Zhenfu and Ye cite the most famous example of the amber pillow included in the gifts to Zhao Feiyan when she became empress. This best fits the context. Jijie prefers an allusion to another amber pillow presented as a tribute gift to Song Wudi. On his campaign north, Wudi learned that amber could heal wounds made by weapons and ordered that the pil- low be broken up and distributed to his generals. Jijie clearly interprets the line as an ex- ample of frugality and restraint. 4. Shi ji, Tian Jingzhong Wan shijia 田敬仲完世家: King Wei of Qi met the king of Liang, who boasted that although his domain was small, he had huge pearls to adorn the princely carriages. King Wei of Qi responded that his treasures were of a different sort and began enumerating his advisers, whose “light shone a thousand leagues.” The History Poems 413 運去不逢青海馬 Fate’s cycle wanes, one does not find Kokonor horses,5 力窮難拔蜀山蛇 strength runs out, one cannot pull up the snake in Shu’s mountains.6 幾人曾預南薰曲 How many men could ever anticipate the song of the aromatic south wind?—7 終古蒼梧哭翠華 at Cangwu for eternity they weep for the kingfisher bunting.8 In many ways “On History” represents the sober ideal of the “poem on history,” yongshi shi 詠史詩.
