Designing authoritarian deliberation: How social media platforms influence political talk in China
Discussion is often celebrated as a critical element of public opinion and political participation. Recently, scholars have suggested that the design and features of specific online platforms shape what is politically expressed online and how. Building on these findings and drawing on 112 semi-structured qualitative interviews with information technology experts and internet users, we explain how major Chinese social media platforms differ in str…
Generating Regime Support in Contemporary China: Legitimation and the Local Legitimacy Deficit
Autocrats may try to generate regime support in order to remain in power, but do they get the results they intend? This article analyzes the causes and consequences of regime support in China. We show two key findings. First, as in previous studies, we find significant differences in levels of support and trust for central and local political institutions, what we refer to as the “local legitimacy deficit.” The factors that produce support and tr…
Reaching Migrants in Survey Research: The Use of the Global Positioning System to Reduce Coverage Bias in China
List-based samples are often biased because of coverage errors. The problem is especially acute in societies where the level of internal migration is high and where record keeping on the population is not reliable. We propose a solution based on spatial sampling that overcomes the inability to reach migrants in traditional area samples based on household lists. A comparison between a traditional study and our sample of Beijing demonstrates that c…

This paper focuses on the distribution of public opinion in Beijing with respect to a direct, close end question about the respondent's most important value. Among th…
