Abstract

Western research on Chinese technology often focuses on local nuances to provide recommendations for competitive advantages. Instead of exoticizing or employing a postcolonial perspective, our special issue 'The Digital Turn in China' aims to inspire further research on the transformative impact of the digital age in China and its pursuit of alternative globalization. It's divided into two sections. The first, 'Digital Governance, Development, and Emerging Ethics,' offers a panoramic view of China's role in the global economy and digital governance. The second, 'Chinese Platform Society: Case Studies,' delves into domains and communities in China significantly impacted by or emerging alongside digitalization.
