Chapter Chapter 4 in China’s Technology War, 2022, pp 47-68 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The initial policies focused on the technology industry migrated into a broader intervention in a number of areas of civic life including celebrity culture. This chapter analyzes the use of the technology policies by the Communist Party to enhance its control over the economy, political forces, and private life of citizens. Many policies had dual goals of corporate regulation coupled with Party politics whereby the stated policy goals frequently exceeded the mandates of regulatory reform. Xi Jinping clearly has been the instigator of increasing Party control and was directly involved in many of the technology efforts as part of a view of the private sector as an instrument of the state. The chapter also analyzes the theory that factional politics was behind many of the changes.
