Abstract
The Chinese Internet is a wild place, enabling Chinese Internet users to engage in an endless variety of activities, including a number that are not permissible in offline China. It can be interpreted as an online form of the Bakhtinian carnival that serves as a pressure valve for the people, but also as an arena in which to laugh at and challenge government authority, while interacting freely with many similar-minded netizens in the familiarity and anonymity of the Internet.
