| Abstract: | In 1995, as the use of Internet began to spread through many sectors of Chinese society, the country's leaders had to decide whether to allow this new medium to keep spreading and, if so, how to control it. Even though the technology itself allows decentralized coordination, the leadership chose to implement an hierarchy of responsibility to manage its growth. They hoped the Internet would unleash economic gains without destabilizing the country. |
