Introduction
The year 2024 marks the 30th year of China’s full access to the global Internet. Over the past 30 years, the Internet has emerged in China and experienced ups and downs from the mainframe era, the personal computer era, and then to the mobile Internet era. As e-commerce and social networks have risen rapidly, we have now entered the era of “Internet+” characterized by intelligent technologies, scenario-based applications, and Internet of Everything. Step by step, the Internet has profoundly changed the way people live and work, thus driving social change. China's Internet industry has leapfrogged to global prominence, injecting new vitality into global internet development while pursuing its own development. This book offers a panoramic review of the development of the Internet in China, recording the changes and progress over the past 30 years from multiple perspectives, including the evolution of network media, user participation, Internet governance, and e-government. In the face of waves of technological revolutions, how can we strategize according to the trends, adapt dynamically, and ride the momentum? The trajectory of China’s 30-year Internet development offers readers rich inspiration.
