This thesis explores the effects of social media on political participation in China. It explores contrasting theories of how increasingly liberal online interactions on the Chinese blogosphere have generated protests and political action, and comes to the conclusion that the current censorship architecture of the PRC could lead to more volatile nationalism offline.
