Introduction

This website contains links to all online materials and sources quoted in the author's PhD dissertation "The Control of the Media in the People's Republic of China," submitted in Dec. 2003 to the Institute of Chinese Studies, University of Heidelberg, published with UMI (University Microfilm Inc.), a division of ProQuest, 2007.

As an inhouse investigation carried out by DACHS in January 2005 has shown, Chinese Internet-based sources are highly instable and tend to disappear after a few years or even months. Websites based outside the PRC haven proven to be only marginally more stable. To keep the the documents permanently accessible for documentary purposes, all online material used in the thesis has been archived in DACHS

Links to articles in electronic format, .html documents and partial download of websites for analysis are arranged according to the dissertation chapters. For full quotations and the original download dates, please refer to the thesis chapters and the bibliography.

Comments and suggestions highly welcome - please contact me!

Chapter Ten: China.com: Media Control and the Internet

Partial download of Sina.com
For analysis in this chapter, a large portion of the popular Internet portal Sina.com was downloaded and archived. The download, executed on 6 Nov. 2003 is a snapshot that allows the documentation of a large website containing content that is normally in a state of constant flux. While copying the entire server content of Sina.com was neither feasible nor necessary, the partial download, containing 22,588 files, is large enough for an in-depth study of a major Internet portal at a randomly selected moment. The download is referred to throughout this chapter.
