Trafficking Data: How China is Winning the Battle for Digital Sovereignty

Join Lifetime Learning and Aynne Kokas of UVA’s Miller Center and Media Studies Department, A&S, as she discusses her book Trafficking Data: How China Winning Battle Digital Sovereignty. Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data and how the Chinese government capitalizes on this data flow for political gain. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the U.S. and China, Kokas will explain how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy and hence the data that defines our public and private lives.
