*18th CIRC virtual conference, 25-27 June 2021*

*“The Internationalization of China’s Digital and Communication Industries”*



Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 18th CIRC has been postponed to June 2021
as a virtual conference via Zoom. It focuses on the prospects for, and
critiques of, the internationalization strategies of China’s digital and
communication industries. It has invited papers and panels that examine the
internationalization mission and geopolitical implication of China’s global
digital strategies, their successes and challenges that are centered on and
beyond the Internet. It has papers that examine new dynamics and emerging
trends related to Chinese Internet and digital culture /economy /politics
from a comparative perspective—both historically and horizontally (with
other countries).

The conference features 11 panels, 2 keynotes (Yu Hong

2 workshops, and special events. It will be an innovative and interactive
conference for presenters, participants, and audience alike.
