Abstract

In 2014, Mobile Internet in China became the most popular public opinion platform on handheld devices globally. WeChat, News Clients, and HTML5 experienced a spectacular rise, but microblogs and mobile websites remained the dominant public opinion platform. New and traditional media collaborated to play a leading role in shaping the opinion for all kinds of emergencies and heated issues, gradually forming a new mobile public opinion trend characterized by latent public opinion and decentralization. Government and the media were making new efforts to achieve discursive power. China achieved remarkable progress in building a national new media team while multi-touch point coverage and service-oriented functions of new government media matured.

Mobile Internet governance made great breakthroughs and the rule of Internet by law developed.
