It examines the trends and struggles of the “BAT” model—named after the three most influential Internet companies in the country, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent—in China’s digital expansion, which has been intimately connected to transnational financial capitalism in the past decade. Reflecting on this expansion’s all-encompassing socio-political consequences, a blind spot in the successful BAT story, the paper examines whether the BAT model is sustainable for China’s social development and, if not, the opportunities and alternatives lie ahead. The paper argues, in view of BAT’s financial and infrastructural turn, that how China’s ICT sector could move beyond a capital-driven mode of growth and reorient technologies for public and social development is a critical epistemological question.Keywords: Digital capitalismICT industrysocial developmentpolitical economyChina Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMin TangMin Tang is an Associate Teaching Professor at the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, University of Washington Bothell.

However, research that critically examines the use, strengths, and weaknesses of existing digital trace methods, and the extent to which they can reveal the true landscape of digital China remains limited. To address these gaps, this study proposes a framework for examining and evaluating the knowledge production of digital trace research within a sociotechnical system comprising state actors, platform governance, digital civil society, and international forces. We then provide the first empirical examination of the knowledge claims and epistemic approaches used in digital trace communication scholarship that has studied China across different phases in the past 30 years. Grounded in the resulting empirical evidence, we discuss two common practices in existing digital trace research on China, how these approaches and perspectives could affect the validity and reliability of offering diverse viewpoints for studying and understanding digital China, and directions for improving these practices.Keywords: Digital traceknowledge productionevidence-driven approachChinasociotechnical systemcomputational social science AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Steve Meyer, the data strategist from the University of Wisconsin–Madison Libraries, for helping us retrieve data from the Web of Science database.

The authors discuss historically formed as well as newly arising social imaginaries of the importance and role of industry, science, and technology in China when formulating an alternative, non-western vision of modernization presented in public cultural forms such as movies, TV dramas, social media discussions or broadcasted public conversations. The emphasis is on the particularity of the Chinese approaches toward industry, technology, and social development, and how they are similar to or different from liberal philosophies of technology.Keywords: Technology and industrializationsocial imaginaries of industrypost global capitalismnew developmental visionspublic culture Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 This is an ancient Chinese fable that tells the story of an elderly man who is trying to move two large mountains in front of his door so that his family and friends can travel more easily. When questioned about the feasibility of such a project, he tells his children and grandchildren to continue the task after his death. This reflects the spirit of generations of Chinese people continuing to do one thing until it is finally completed. During the Chinese revolution, “the foolish old man who removed mountains (Yugong Yi Shan)” was transformed into a modern spirit. In particular, in 1945, Mao Zedong, as the Chairman of the CPC, made a report on “Yugong Moves Mountains” in “The Seventh National Congress of the CPC.” He said that the people of China are working hard to remove the two mountains of ‘imperialism” and “feudalism” like Yugong. Nowadays, the dictum continues to refer to the spirit of perseverance and persistence needed in completing difficult projects.2 Bridge, (1949); March Forward to New China, (1951); The Girl from Shanghai, (1958); New Biography of Veterans, (1959).3 Both refer to the level of social development of the Soviet Union that China looked up to as an aspirational model.4 Joseph Needham holds a similar argument in his Science and Civilization in China series (Needham, Citation1974).5 Here comes the full video!
