Digital China: from Cultural Presence to Innovative Nation

This project investigates how digital platforms and technologies are enabling Chinese culture and ideas to reach the world. It argues that while China’s global cultural presence has increased it is yet to be seen as an innovative nation. The project examines how the Chinese government’s internet+ strategy is changing power dynamics among political institutions, commercially motivated digital companies, and online communities.

Through investigating internationalisation strategies and consumption of Chinese culture on digital platforms in China, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea the project contributes to understanding the implications of China’s digital ascendency and the lessons for Australia in the post-resources boom era.
