Download or read book China's Telecommunications Revolution written by Eric Harwit and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's telecommunications industry has seen revolutionary transformation and growth over the past three decades. Chinese Internet users number nearly 150 million, and the PRC expects to quickly pass the US in total numbers of connected citizens. The number of mobile and fixed-line telephone users soared from a mere 2 million in 1980 to a total of nearly 800 million in 2007. China has been the most successful developing nation in history for spreading telecommunications access at an unparalleled rapid pace. This book tells how China conducted its remarkable "telecommunications revolution". It examines both corporate and government policy to get citizens connected to both voice and data networks, looks at the potential challenges to the one-party government when citizens get this access, and considers the new opportunities for networking now offered to the people of one of the world's fastest growing economies. The book is based on the author's fieldwork conducted in several Chinese cities, as well as extensive archival research. It focuses on key issues such as building and running the country's Internet, mobile phone company rivalry, foreign investment in the sector, and telecommunications in China's vibrant city of Shanghai. It also considers the country's internal "digital divide", and questions how equitable the telecommunications revolution has been. Finally, it examines the ways the PRC's entry to the World Trade Organization will shape the future course of telecommunications growth.

Download or read book China's Information Revolution written by Christine Zhen-Wei Qiang and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1997, China has devoted considerable resources to information and communications technology (ICT) development. China has the world's largest telecommunications market, and its information technology industry has been an engine of economic growth growing two to three times faster than GDP over the past 10 years. E-government initiatives have achieved significant results, and the private sector has increasingly used ICT for production and service processes, internal management, and online transactions. The approaching 10-year mark provides an excellent opportunity to update the policy to reflect the evolving needs of China's economy. These needs include the challenges posed by industrialization, urbanization, upgraded consumption, and social mobility. Developing a more effective ICT strategy will help China to achieve its economic and social goals. Addressing all the critical factors is complex and requires long-term commitment. This book highlights several key issues that need to be addressed decisively in the second half of this decade, through policies entailing institutional reform, to trigger broader changes. This books is the result of 10 months of strategic research by a World Bank team at the request of China's State Council Informatization Office and the Advisory Committee for State Informatization. Drawing on background papers by Chinese researchers, the study provides a variety of domestic perspectives and local case studies and combines these perspectives with international experiences on how similar issues may have been addressed in other countries.
Download or read book Networking China written by Yu Hong and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, China 's leaders have taken decisive action to transform information, communications, and technology (ICT) into the nation's next pillar industry. In Networking China , Yu Hong offers an overdue examination of that burgeoning sector's political economy. Hong focuses on how the state, in conjunction with market forces and class interests, is constructing and realigning its digitalized sector. State planners intend to build a more competitive ICT sector by modernizing the network infrastructure, corporatizing media-and-entertainment institutions, and by using ICT as a crosscutting catalyst for innovation, industrial modernization, and export upgrades. The goal: to end China's industrial and technological dependence upon foreign corporations while transforming itself into a global ICT leader. The project, though bright with possibilities, unleashes implications rife with contradiction and surprise. Hong analyzes the central role of information, communications, and culture in Chinese-style capitalism. She also argues that the state and elites have failed to challenge entrenched interests or redistribute power and resources, as promised. Instead, they prioritize information, communications, and culture as technological fixes to make pragmatic tradeoffs between economic growth and social justice.

Book excerpt: China is a country in the midst of a transition which is inscrutable to almost all observers. The leadership has changed from the 'old guard' to the 'new guard' with hardly a slip. Capitalism is roaring but somehow at the same time doesn't exist. The economy is booming in virtually all areas. The military is growing more powerful each year, many industries are at world level, and China is taking more and more steps to join the international community while being sure as she doesn't snuggle up too closely. Still, with a population of 1.3 billion and staggering poverty in the rural areas making up the vast part of the country, the face of China remains centuries old. Where she goes, nobody knows. This series examines the issues, policies and progress of China's transition.

Book Synopsis China's Telecommunications Market by : Ding Lu
Download or read book China's Telecommunications Market written by Ding Lu and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the 1990s, China's telecommunications sector was a lacklustre monopoly featured by poor-quality service and inadequate capacity. Today the country boasts a dynamic telecommunications industry with the world's largest communications network and user-base with over 460 million telephone subscribers. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has opened this huge developing telecommunications market to foreign participation and investment. The authors examine the singularity of the Chinese experience in building up its extensive telecommunications network in merely a decade, by reviewing China's national industrial policies and institutional reforms within the industry. The reader will find in this volume a unique and in-depth analysis of the interplay between political and economic forces amidst the industry's structural overhaul and regulatory reforms. The accounts of industrial features and market conditions are enriched with up-to-date data, which are extremely useful for appreciating the development and prospects for this fast-growing market, set against the backdrop of China's accession to the WTO. Scholars of China or Asian studies and researchers of information-communications industry and Asian/China studies will find this work of great interest, as will governmental policymakers, both in China and beyond. For foreign business practitioners eyeing this market, this volume provides a helpful guide to understand China's various interests and public welfare considerations that motivate changes in policies towards foreign investment and participation.

Book Synopsis Regulatory Reforms in China's Telecommunication Sector by : Marc Laperrouza
Download or read book Regulatory Reforms in China's Telecommunication Sector written by Marc Laperrouza and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade most countries have had to face the wave of telecommunication liberalisation that swept across the world. On the surface, China is no exception to the worldwide transformation of telecommunication markets. Over the past 15 years, nationwide teledensity grew from 1.11% to more than 40%1. China ranks today as the largest telecommunication market in the world in terms of mobile and fixed-line subscribers. This phenomenal growth has been accompanied by a number of remarkable structural changes, which seemed to share the characteristics of the market-oriented reforms carried out worldwide. By-and-large, the “pro forma” liberalisation programme consists of three elements (see Table 1). Despite claims of developing a telecommunication market with Chinese characteristics, it appeared that some of the early elements of the regulatory reforms process bore strong resemblance with those found in other countries. China's postal sector was separated from the telecommunication sector, operators were detached from government agencies and new entrants started to challenge the incumbent. Institutional changes were carried out through then merger of archrival Ministries (the Ministry of Post) and defined here as the combined fixed and mobile subscribers per hundred inhabitants. In 2005, a proposal was made to reform China's postal system by separating government functions from enterprise management, enhancing government supervision, completing market structure, securing universal and special services, reorganising the State Post Bureau to act as a state supervision institution, and accelerating the foundation of postal saving banks (Xinhua, 2005). Telecommunications or MPT and the Ministry of Electronics Industry or MEI) and the establishment of a regulatory body to supervise the sector (the Ministry of Information Industry or MII). New companies were allowed to challenge the incumbent both in fixedline and mobile segments. In reality, growth took place in spite of the failure to successfully implement the liberalisation trinity consisting of deregulation, competition and privatisation. On the contrary, the Chinese government failed by-and-large both to create an independent regulator and to introduce significant competition, and maintained majority ownership in the operators while restricting market access to private and international operators. Has the government deliberately refrained from adopting the liberalisation programme usually prescribed by multilateral lending agencies or has it simply failed to do so? In other words, are we witnessing a case of policy transfer failure or of policy divergence? By answering this question, the paper seeks to explain the stalled reform process of China's telecommunication sector. It argues that we are faced both with failure and divergence. On the one hand, the government has not been able to establish an independent regulatory authority capable of enforcing the regulatory package adopted in 2000. In addition, competition, both in fixed-line and mobile markets, remains weak and dominated by the incumbent operators. On the other hand, when it comes to privatisation the government has managed to squeeze important financial resources from the listing of China Mobile and China Telecom on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange while maintaining control over the companies. The paper seeks to explain the stalled reform process of China's telecommunication sector. It is organised as follows: the first section provides the theoretical framework - historical institutionalism - and reviews the literature of policy diffusion and convergence. The next section presents the history of China's telecommunication reforms and illustrates the difference between policy output and outcome. To do so, it examines two critical aspects of the reforms - the introduction of competition and the “privatisation” of operators. The third section seeks to explain the stalled reform process of China's telecommunication sector.

Book Synopsis China's Information and Communications Technology Revolution by : Xiaoling Zhang
Download or read book China's Information and Communications Technology Revolution written by Xiaoling Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, China has experienced a revolution in information and communications technology (ICT), in 2003 surpassing the USA as the world’s largest telephone market, and as of February 2008, the number of Chinese Internet users has become the largest in the world. At the same time, China has overtaken the USA as the world’s biggest supplier of information technology goods. However, this transformation has occurred against the backdrop of a resolutely authoritarian political system and strict censorship by the Party-state. This book examines China’s ICT revolution, exploring the social, cultural and political implications of China’s transition to a more information-rich and communication-intensive society. The pace of the development of ICT in China has precipitated much speculation about political change and democratisation. This book explores the reality of ICT in China, showing clearly that whilst China remains a one-party state, with an ever-present and sophisticated regime of censorship, substantial social and political changes have taken place. It considers the ICT revolution in all its aspects, outlining the dominant trends, the impact on other countries of China as an ICT exporter, strategies of government censorship and use of ICT for propaganda, the implications of censorship for Chinese governance, the political implications of internet culture and blogging, and the role of domestic and foreign NGOs. Overall, this book is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand a rapidly transforming China, both today and in the years to come.
