Following  part one of my interview with Kaiser, today we talk about how the internet is changing the way people engage in private and public affairs in China. In true Kaiser style, he shares his astute views with punchy wit about what  the internet will and won’t  bring to China.  

Some references to what we talked about in the interview: Kaixin 001 or 开心网, China’s fastest growing social networking site.

If you are reading this blog post, I am sure this is a topic that you think about quite a lot. How does a resurgent China see itself? Why do the Chinese people take criticism of China so personally? When will China behave like a responsible world power? How does the leadership deal with domestic and international pressure? Big questions with implications that affect personal lives. I am very glad to have interviewed Kaiser Kuo, one of the most insightful and witty commentators on the topic. I sat down with him in Beijing to ponder these questions and try to understand the paradox that is China.
