Abstract

Using content analysis, this chapter explores the policy-making trends for Internet governance in China. It examines the manner by which policy changes over time, the different policy-making agencies in the country, and the various application scopes and topical focuses of policy. This chapter aims to determine the distribution of key policy decisions over different policy-making agencies and which policy issues receive the most attention from China’s government in its efforts to regulate the Internet.
