Want to get a glimpse under the hood of China?
This month’s Knowledge Session of the China Knowledge Network will give you just that. Dr. Qian Huang of Groningen University will share what discussions, debates and memes circulating on Chinese social media reveal about China’s public mood, societal concerns and changing debates?
Her research shows there’s a lot to learn from the conversations taking place online that rarely make it into international headlines.
From football superstar Mbappé to Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang’s affair and internet memes, we will explore what captures people’s attention, what issues resonate with Chinese citizens, and what their online conversations tell us about the hopes, frustrations and challenges shaping contemporary China.
An opportunity for academics, business professionals and policymakers alike to gain a fresh perspective on Chinese society and a better understanding of the voices and sentiments behind the headlines.
