Proliferation of new media and the Internet is considered a key component of democratic, politically liberal countries. They are seen as a tool of empowerment and it is believed with expansion of online space in an authoritarian regime, a freedom struggle will be inevitable between the government and its netizens. Having said that, with already over 730 million Internet users and growing exponentially, China’s authoritarian system still remains resilient. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has maintains this strength by not only restricting what netizens do, see, or say, but also by adapting to this growth of internet users and by effectively utilizing the media and internet to enhance their control and stability.

Lyden (2003) states “We are beginning to realize that we cannot understand or interpret our society except in its relation to these unavoidable additions to it. Some welcome them and some fear them, but they are here to stay” (p.1). For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an avid fan of movies. I have enjoyed everything from action to drama; comedy to suspense, but the one thing that is immutable about my experience is the self-apparent change in the morals and values depicted in film.
