Abstract: To guarantee a “successful” 19th Congress of the Communist Party, the Chinese regime had mobilised all its resources to maintain stability in 2017. With sophisticated internet censorship, artificial intelligence and big data technology, social control mechanism in the country has become “smarter”, more effective and more successful in reducing social unrest. In the long term, however, it may face challenges due to value changes in society.
