Objectives & Problem

statement

Objectives
I want to study how students in China
use social media applications.
I want to know what are they
discussing in those social media
applications
I want to know how much time do
they spend on social media.
I want to know whether they face
restrictions when using social media.

Problem Statement
In 2011, Arab Spring erupted, due (as some
people say it) to the wide usage of social media.
However in China, the government and
authorities have severe restrictions on social
media.
The Chinese version however is allowed. Weibo
is the substitute of Facebook/ Twitter; but it is
heavily controlled and censored. The question is
do all these restrictions affect the usage of
social media especially in discussing sensitive
issues in China.
