Abstract

[This chapter provides an overall assessment of gendered digital cultures in post-reform China. Based on a discussion of deeply held socio-political issues in Chinese society, this chapter explains how imbalanced gender power relations between Chinese women and men are established in Chinese society and how the gender power relations intersect with Chinese Internet users’ civic engagement with public affairs. Through a critical review of existing literature in Chinese digital cultures, this chapter advances a feminist cultural studies approach that helps to unpack the gender-politics axis established in China’s digital public sphere today.]
