The first part of the evening program is a discussion on social media\u2019s role in the democratization of China. There the use of micro blog Weibo, Chinese equivalent of Twitter, is much more prevalent than in Sweden. What does that mean for a greater freedom of speech? What does the development in China look in comparison with, for example, the jasmine revolution in the Arab world?<\/p>\n

The Swedish government currently supports net activists in repressive regimes with huge sums of money. In the second part of the evening the implications and how Sweden can act to support Chinese netizens and freedom of speech development are discussed.<\/p>\n

Christian Christensen<\/em>, Professor at the Department of Media and Communication Studies at Uppsala University.<\/p>\n

Moderator: Ulrika K. Engstr\u00f6m<\/em>, Swedish PEN and Enact consulting firm, where she works with sustainable strategies for business development with focus on China and human rights.<\/p>\n
