中国信息通信技术（ICT）行业的指数级增长吸引了越来越多的学术兴趣。主流的描述集中在访问和控制的问题上，批判性的学者研究了动态的塑造力量。在政治经济学的框架下，本研究采用历史的方法来研究互联网作为一个复杂的权力互动场所。本研究考察了中国向跨国资本开放信息通信技术产业的历史进程。在追踪与这一举措相关的政策变化时，本研究考察了中国互联网跨国化的关键历史阶段：中国信息通信技术行业的初步开放；金融资本的引入；以及最近的“走出去”倡议。在这样做的过程中，本研究解决了目前关于将中国互联网与跨国资本联系起来的历史，特别是监管背景下的学术空白。本研究的结果有助于理解中国国家的辩证作用，在中国互联网的跨国化过程中，中国国家的作用更多地是构成而不是包含。
The exponential growth in China’s information and communication technology (ICT) sector has attracted increasing academic interest. Mainstream accounts have focused on issues of access and control, and critical scholars have examined the dynamic shaping forces. Building on the framework of political economy, this study adopts a historical approach to the Internet as a complex site of power interactions. The study examines the historical process by which China has opened its ICT industry to transnational capital. In tracing the policy changes related to this move, this study examines the historical stages that have been critical in the transnationalization of China’s Internet: the initial opening of China’s ICT sector; the introduction of financial capital; and the recent “going-out” initiatives. In doing so, the study addresses a gap in the current scholarship regarding the history of bridging China’s Internet to transnational capital, particularly the regulatory context. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the dialectical role of the Chinese state, which has been more constituting than containing in transnationalizing China’s Internet.
