This book is a collection of eight chapters that examine new media and contemporary Chinese politics based on an analysis of twelve major microblog entries from 2011 to 2012, most of which are still relevant to the present day and the new age of WeChat. It explores how the new media both informs and deforms the ideology. It also discusses how today's mass migration and the "de-regionalization" of floating populations around the globe, and the accompanying urbanization, the rapid disappearance of rural communities, and the reconstruction of urban-rural relations, as well as the rise in refugee flows and terrorism are all leading to new, large-scale social unrest worldwide.
