From the Expats

Does Beijing love or hate the Net?

The lingering perception among American triumphalists that the Internet would be the ruin of the Communist Party of China's governance is completely wrong. Instead, the Internet is proving to be a boon to the CPC, and it is helping to improve governance and promote stability.

Fits and starts, notwithstanding, what has emerged from the dialectic interaction of the State with this "democratizing technology" is the creation of an interactive feedback mechanism that serves to make government more transparent and efficient while validating policy that is in tune with popular needs. It creates instant and accessible pathways for the ruled and rulers to communicate back and forth.

If doubts remain about the wisdom of embracing the Silicon Valley's gift to the world, it is partly to blame on the Internet evangelism of people like US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who have a habit of hectoring other countries into following the American way.

Yet it is within China's right as a sovereign nation to say: "No thanks, Google, no thanks, Facebook. Your technology is cool, your algorithms are awesome, but the way you sell private and personalized information is not so cool. The way you share information and cooperate with your government is understandable, but not so cool for us. Our cyber domain is open, but not open to heavy-handed domination by you."

Just as there is Washington consensus versus the Beijing consensus when it comes to political and economic development, there is emerging a duality in how to approach information manipulation and dissemination. Call it Google versus Baidu, or Twitter versus weibo. There's something to be said for the blossoming of indigenous social networks and software rather than yielding without resistance to a Silicon Valley monoculture which would see the entire planet's information needs, and information vulnerabilities, in the hands of a few big American companies.

Come what may, in one form or another, the Internet is here to stay; the risks of running with it are far less threatening than the dangers of closing it down, an act which would not only be impossibly unpopular, but also would be as counterproductive as draining a pond to catch fish and burning down the forest to hunt game.

Leaving the boon to business and commerce aside, taking down the Internet as a tool of governance would strip away effective and efficient means of keeping in touch with the pulse of the people; it would allow unattended problems to spiral out of control and it would destroy vital feedback loops that are part and parcel of a dynamic information flow.
