About this episode
This episode explores the technological and political dynamics that have led to the West's growing obsession with China, particularly in the context of internet censorship and control.
The 1990s were a decade of mass technological disruption, as the internet was rolled out across the globe, and we logged on for the first time. In China, the arrival of the internet was swiftly followed by what has come to be known as the ‘great firewall’, a complex matrix of censorship, surveillance and state control. From that point on, there were two internets: the World Wide Web, and the Chinese internet. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support .
