It has influenced lawmaking and has put pressure on the government to change past decisions. Some\u00a0believe\u00a0that this kind of activism has a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.counterfire.org\/articles\/book-reviews\/16841-the-power-of-the-internet-in-china\">profound effect<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Chinese society,\u00a0while others think it makes\u00a0little\u00a0change. Whether\u00a0online activism is\u00a0positive or not, it has been around for a while;\u00a0and despite attempts by the government to stifle it,\u00a0it continues to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/thediplomaticenvoy\/files\/2015\/11\/tweet6.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3489\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/thediplomaticenvoy\/files\/2015\/11\/tweet6.jpg\" alt=\"tweet6\" width=\"935\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There have been multiple cases\u00a0in which\u00a0clicktivism has led to change in one way or another. An independent investigative agency known in China as the\u00a0\u201cHuman Flesh Search\u201d\u00a0led to the imprisonment of certain people who would have otherwise gone unnoticed. The\u00a0agency was\u00a0responsible for the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2014\/01\/chinas-crackdown-on-cyber-activism\/\">imprisonment of Yang Dacai and Li Qiming<\/a>, one a corrupt official and the other the son of the deputy director of the Baoding City Public Security Bureau. Similarly, Weibo, a Chinese blogging website similar to Twitter, led to\u00a0the arrest\u00a0of Li\u00a0Tianyi. He was a suspect accused of leading the rape of a woman\u00a0and\u00a0was going to escape imprisonment due to his status. All of these people were exposed through online activism and were\u00a0brought to justice for their crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, public sentiment led to the pleading for some\u00a0individuals\u00a0to be released from custody.\u00a0Yang\u00a0Zhong, one of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/09\/24\/world\/asia\/crackdown-on-dissent-in-china-meets-online-backlash-after-boys-arrest.html?_r=0\">first arrested for publishing rumors online<\/a>, sparked a large amount of online protest, leading to his release. Also, Tang Hui was sentenced to\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/01\/08\/world\/asia\/china-says-it-will-overhaul-re-education-system.html\">&#8220;re-education through labor&#8221;<\/a><i>\u00a0<\/i>system after constant petitioning\u00a0of\u00a0officials who had not been persecuted. Not only did public outcry lead to her release, but it also led to the abolishment of the\u00a0&#8220;re-education through labor&#8221;\u00a0system\u00a0in China, according to the\u00a0<i>New York Times<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/thediplomaticenvoy\/files\/2015\/11\/tweet7.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3490\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/thediplomaticenvoy\/files\/2015\/11\/tweet7.jpg\" alt=\"tweet7\" width=\"876\" height=\"154\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite these instances, clicktivism is not always effective or beneficial in making change. Sometimes,\u00a0it simply does not produce any significant results and at others,\u00a0it produces negative results. According to\u00a0The\u00a0Diplomat, the \u201cHuman Flesh Search\u201d has led to violent acts. One of these instances includes a girl committing suicide when she saw her personal details online. This is one\u00a0illustration\u00a0of the degree to which online activism can be harmful to those whom it talks about.<\/p>\n<p>At other times,\u00a0online activism yields little to no results.\u00a0For example,\u00a0when the high speed rail accident occurred in 2011 in Wenzhou,\u00a0news of it was spread by online activism,\u00a0but\u00a0rumors were also spread. There was a rumor proven to be false concerning an Italian man dying in the accident. Very little action was taken by people in response to the crash,\u00a0as well.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/feature\/clicktivism-alone-doesnt-work-in-china-either\/\">Han Han<\/a>, a popular social and political critic, states, \u201cI was reading all the accounts on microblogs. Subsequently, I kept checking downstairs, expecting hundreds of thousands of people to\u00a0march\u00a0in protest,\u201d\u00a0according to the site wagingnonviolence.org.\u00a0This\u00a0further\u00a0shows how not only negative rumors arose from the situation, but also\u00a0a lack of other forms of activism.<\/p>\n<p>Some critics\u00a0admit that\u00a0clicktivism\u00a0can be effective when coupled with other forms of activism.\u00a0Garth Moore,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.one.org\/us\/2012\/05\/03\/when-clicking-counts-in-defense-of-slacktivism-and-clicktivism\/\">U.S. deputy director of ONE<\/a>,\u00a0an international campaigning and advocacy program, describes clicktivism as,\u00a0\u201ca means to an end, just like phone calls, handwritten letters, and in-district meetings,&#8221; according to the ONE website.<\/p>\n<p>For many years, the Chinese government has tried to have more control over various online groups and\u00a0protesters.\u00a0It seeks\u00a0to limit the \u201cHuman Flesh Search\u201d due to its harmful potential and cyber vigilante-like actions.\u00a0The government also took certain precautions to avoid\u00a0future public outcries. The posting of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cfr.org\/china\/media-censorship-china\/p11515\">rumors<\/a>\u201d has become more highly censored, according to\u00a0the\u00a0Council on Foreign Relations.\u00a0Those that posted\u00a0\u201crumors\u201d that have been viewed more than 5,000 times or shared more than 500 times can be arrested.\u00a0These changes make it harder for\u00a0clicktivists\u00a0to spread information about events or people\u00a0that\u00a0expose or spread awareness about\u00a0important topics\u00a0since what is considered a &#8220;rumor&#8221; is up to the government&#8217;s interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>The President of China himself, Xi Jinping, also addressed the situation. In a comment made\u00a0in August, he stated that he wishes\u00a0to stress principles which\u00a0are \u201cfor the upholding of the people&#8217;s democratic dictatorship, the socialist path, the party leadership and Marxism-Leninism and \u2018Mao Zedong thought.\u2019\u201d\u00a0This further emphasizes the increasing efforts of the government to stifle online activism.<\/p>\n<p>Whether\u00a0online\u00a0activism\u00a0is or is not effective and to what extent has been a frequently asked question for many years.\u00a0Both\u00a0critics and supporters, see it as a good starting point on the path towards\u00a0increased freedom. Despite the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudwards.net\/internet-censorship\/\">government\u2019s efforts<\/a>, it does not show any signs of stopping\u00a0soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yang Zhong, one of the first arrested for publishing rumors online, sparked a large amount of online protest, leading to his release.
