In China, as the tightening of state control over the mass media persists, people are left with only limited or no access to mass media and a mass-mediated public sphere. Yet China has both the world’s most active social network population and the world’s largest online population. How—and to what extent—are everyday use of new media articulating Chinese people’s experiences and shaping their social memory? An analysis of Weibo (China’s equivalent of Twitter) tweets from cities that were sites of collective action shows that Chinese social media provide people an alternative communicative sphere for sharing and accumulating “unofficial” social memory as a kind of covert resistance.
