摘要

本文利用2018年中国互联网调查的数据,分析了中国公民获取政治信息的渠道,以及这些信息如何改变人们的政治态度和行为。研究发现,尽管许多人,尤其是年轻一代,正在使用社交媒体,但同样多的人仍然依赖官方控制的电视新闻来获取政治和社会信息。正如那些想通过社交媒体推翻独裁政权的人所希望的那样,互联网有助于质疑政府,并在用户中发展自由主义思想,但未能促进自下而上的政治参与。有趣的是,政府控制的电视节目实现了改善政权支持以及动员群众政治参与的目标。威权政府似乎也有效地将社交媒体推向了其政治控制轨道。这些发现表明,技术乌托邦主义夸大了技术在自由民主化中的作用。

Revolution derailed: The struggle for media control and media freedom in China

Drawing on data from the 2018 China Internet Survey, this article analyzes the channels through which Chinese citizens acquire political information and how such information changes people's political attitude and behavior. It finds that while many people particularly among the younger generations are using social media, an equally large number of people continue to rely on the officially controlled TV news for political and social information. As hoped by those who want to bring down the authoritarian regime through social media, the Internet contributes to questioning the government and developing liberal ideas among its users but fails to promote bottom-up political participation. Interestingly, government-controlled TV programming meets its goals of improving regime support as well as mobilizing mass political participation. The authoritarian government also seems effective in pushing social media into its orbit of political control. These findings suggest that techno-Utopianism exaggerated the role of technology in liberal democratization.
