Can Social Media in China Make the Authorities More Open?

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

We discuss whether social media in China can force the authorities to be more open. We look at two recent high-profile court rulings that have been widely discussed on the Chinese micro-blogging site, Weibo. Some see the condemnation of the authorities as unprecedented. We speak to bloggers and ask whether it will change Chinese society.
