1.When I read Chapter 8, the Anti-PX Environmental Movement at Xiamen, China appeared in my mind. It may be the largest urban-based demonstrations in China. Residents at Xiamen worried about the toxic PX from a potential chemical plant since 2002 and used mobile phone messages to gather people to protest the chemical plant. The Anti-PX Movement at Xiamen showed that the development of technology did influence the environment of public opinions and political participation in China.
2. Students at Georgetown University analyzed China's missle and nuclear arsenal hiding tunnels through traditionally dependable research resources and online data such as Google Earth and blogs. Though some doubt that online data is not trustful, this research shows that the gigantic information on the Internet has changed the researcing way of security studies.
