Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, 14th & V, presents Liz Carter as she discusses her new book Let 100 Voices Speak: How the Internet Is Transforming China and Changing Everything.
A regular contributor to Foreign Policy and The Atlantic, Carter is the former managing editor of the China blog, “Tea Leaf Nation,” and her close observations of Chinese use of the Internet show a country on the cusp of major changes. China has some 560 million Internet users, ranging from ordinary citizens to activists to cultural luminaries; the sheer numbers alone challenge the state’s ability to censor opinion and herald an era of greater freedoms.
