  the next five years will also have to be accompanied with structural adjustment,
  technological upgrading, reduction of pollution and income inequality.

  The Impact of Social Networking Sites on State-citizen Relationships in China 
  
  With the meteoric rise of the use of Internet and internet-enabled social media, the political effects both in China and on China’s international relations will continue to unfold. Xiaoling Zhang and Gareth Shaw from SCCS evaluate how social networking sites (SNSs) change the state-citizen relationship in China and if the Chinese state can continue to neutralize their impact. They argue that in assessing the role of SNSs in China, we need to first of all place it in the context of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) struggle for hegemonic rule and its interest in staying in power with legitimacy.
