Second Annual Chinese Internet Research Conference: China's Digital Future 2004

China is experiencing a digital revolution. ICTs are already altering the course of China’s ongoing social and economic reforms. But the long-term impact of the Internet on the Chinese government, people, society and culture is not yet clear. Over 78 million Chinese now utilize the communication power of the Internet, and over 257 million have wireless phones. How will China’s rapidly expanding high tech industry and market affect global technological development and the world market? How does the Chinese government maintain a balance between control and growth of the Internet? How does the flexibility and pervasiveness of the new media alter the traditional information landscape? And what are the expansion, control and transformative effects of these technologies on China and its future? From April 30 to May 1, 2004, these questions were addressed at the China's Digital Future symposium at the University of California at Berkeley. The symposium featured presentations from Izumi Aizu, Lawrence Lessig, Xiao Qiang, Susan Shirk, and others.
This conference was organized and hosted by the Berkeley China Internet Project, the Western Knight Center for Specialized Journalism and the New Media Program at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Co-sponsors include the Intellectual Property and Communications Law at Michigan State University-DCL College of Law, the Singapore Internet Research Centre, and the School of Journalism and Communication of Peking University.
