Excellent- More about Great Firewall of China: How to Build and Control an Alternative Version of the Internet
The Great Firewall of China is the most sophisticated system of online censorship in the world, controlling speech, dissent, and attempts to organize outside the official Communist Party. James Griffiths' book provides unprecedented access to the Great Firewall and its impact on individuals and society.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 440 pages
Publication date: 21 October 2021
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
The 'Great Firewall' of China has emerged as the most advanced and comprehensive system of online censorship worldwide. With the rapid expansion of the Chinese internet and the flourishing of online businesses, the government has exerted tight control over speech, suppressing dissent and thwarting any attempts to organize outside the official Communist Party. This book, originally published in 2014, has been thoroughly updated and is now available in paperback format for the first time. Drawing on unparalleled access to the 'Great Firewall' and the individuals whose lives revolve around it, including politicians, tech leaders, dissidents, and hackers, the book provides a comprehensive account of China's online censorship landscape.
New chapters have been added to cover recent developments, including the suppression of information about the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, disinformation campaigns in response to the exposure of the persecution of Uyghur communities in Xinjiang, and the crackdown against the Umbrella movement in Hong Kong.
The 'Great Firewall' of China represents a formidable challenge to freedom of expression and information in the country. It serves as a powerful tool for the government to monitor and control online activity, suppressing dissent and maintaining its grip on power. However, the book also highlights the resilience and ingenuity of those who seek to bypass the restrictions and engage in open discourse.
Through its detailed analysis and compelling storytelling, The Great Firewall of China offers a valuable insight into the complex dynamics of online censorship in China and its impact on society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the challenges faced by individuals and organizations in a country where the internet is tightly controlled and freedom of speech is severely restricted.
