By proposing that national identity is not stable and homogeneous, this article explores how mainland Chinese students construct a heterogeneous national identity and negotiate a unified or divided “we-hood” with both Macao locals and other mainlanders under one country, two systems model. Unified we-hood refers to an inclusive China–Chinese nationalism, while a divided we-hood is seen in how mainlanders construct the peoples of the Special Administrative Regions (SARs) as heterogeneous and internal others. This divided we-hood in the state-nationalism-building process is attributed to the outcomes of the two systems, which leads to the blurred consciousness of a mainlander identity, and who or what is Macao. To explain the complex and dynamic process of national identity construction, we further propose both top-down and bottom-up nationalist discourses, within which the frame of produced, contested, transformed, and reproduced strategies works to unpack this process.

Using qualitative data gained through mixed methods, this study examines WeChat’s entanglement with the Chinese diaspora’s social life in liberal societies. We argue that the Chinese government’s policies and WeChat’s system apparatus intertwine with the Chinese diaspora’s socialization processes in host societies. The overarching force behind this is techno-nationalism, which enables the Chinese government’s control of the media and propaganda to transcend national boundaries. Media system dependency theory, which provides a helpful analytical tool for traditional media consumption, also has the power to illuminate new media’s various kinds of ties with its users.

Abstract Many contemporary networked social movements are marked by the absence of central leadership. This raises the practical question of (self-)organizing through communication. The online forum LIHKG was widely recognized as the central communication platform for supporters of the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong. How can we discern whether forum users were engaging in action organization through discussion or merely having conversations? This study proposes that inequality in thread popularity could be a useful way in to tackling that question. An analysis of the contents of LIHKG between June and December of 2019 illustrates that signs of action coordination can be discerned by examining inequality in thread popularity and whether forum users’ attention increasingly concentrated on the most popular threads as the number of users increased. An examination of how attention competition and thread content combined to shape thread popularity then provides insights into the characteristics of the forum’s organizing efforts.

Abstract Although popular users are more influential on social media, there may be a popularity fallacy in their public participation. We examined the relationship between the popularity of the most influential verified users (also known as “Big Vs”) of Sina Weibo and their participation in 63 of the most salient public issues from 2013 to 2016. The results support the existence of the popularity fallacy for Big Vs. Although the popularity of Big Vs has an indirect positive impact on their public participation because of the mediation of public influence, their popularity also has a direct negative impact on their public participation. Overall, their popularity hurts their public participation. We further explain the findings from the perspective of Big Vs’ occupational categories and impression management strategies. The results of this study shed light on our understanding of the limited role played by social media in influencing public participation.

The development of the artificial intelligence (AI) platform Media Brain and the associated Xinhua AI news anchors have attracted a great deal of media attention. AI’s potential to boost the media value chain has prompted many media organizations to consider its broader applications in the media industry, but has also raised concerns among human journalists that they will be marginalized and ultimately replaced by AI. Using in-depth interviews, this study examined the perceptions of media practitioners working in the Chinese media industry of the impact of AI on media employment. It attempted to shed light on how AI may impact the media workforce, how human journalists understand their adaptability and resilience, and how media institutions strive to create an embracing organizational discourse through material demonstrations and rivalry for influence in the media market.

This study explores an under-researched area in the literature on doctor–patient power relations. It examines power relations between doctors and e-patients in online medical consultations (OMC) in the Chinese context from the perspective of poststructuralist discourse analysis. By adopting the approach of positioning theory, this study identified three types of power relations that emerged in discursive positionings by doctors and e-patients. These relations include the negotiation of expert power, the softening of doctors’ institutional power, and the foregrounding of e-patients’ reward power. The findings challenge the assumption that doctors are always the powerful party in medical consultations because of their expertise. These findings imply that the online mode of medical consultation has the potential to cultivate doctor–patient relations that disrupt the traditional powerful–powerless hierarchical relationship between doctors and patients.

Based on original data gathered from China, the United States, and South Korea, this study explores the relationship between media representations and public opinions concerning the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea. Further, this study validates the network agenda-setting (NAS) model in multiple social contexts. This study’s supportive results confirm the NAS effects on both implicit and explicit public agendas, further expanding current NAS research. From a cross-nationally comparative perspective, this study investigates how NAS effects vary across countries, which is particularly important in the age of globalization, offering valuable contributions to an improved understanding of the NAS model. The study’s findings illustrate substantial differences between media agendas and variations in the NAS effects across countries, providing empirical evidence of national traits as potential contingent agenda-setting conditions.
