The Consultation Paradox: Public Voice Without Public Discourse in China
Rongxin Li
This book explores a central paradox of Chinese governance. Digital channels for citizen voices such as hotlines, portals, and opinion-monitoring platforms—have expanded unprecedentedly. Yet, while this deepens state responsiveness, it carefully prevents public voices from becoming collective power or genuine accountability.
