The impact of Web 2.0 has been much more profound on China than on any other country. The levels of connectivity and collaboration among Chinese netizens have been staggering. This mobilization of public opinion has created a new social order in China, and is generating a level of political transparency and institutional reform which China has thus far avoided. In other words, the era of China 2.0 has dawned.
