China Online takes an insider's look at the way Chinese are creating their own language on the Internet today to communicate in code and identify themselves with a new hip online subculture that can only be described as ""cool"". This book describes a Chinese youth culture in transition-using humor and creativity to poke fun at authority and tradition. But there is much more that lies under the surface, as you will discover in this book.

Reviews for China Online: Netspeak and Wordplay

Her insight into the cultural power of these words and phrases is spot on - these sayings and practices are as playful and fun as they are deeply meaningful, making them the perfect gateway to finding common ground on social issues. Michel hopes her work will help foster deeper cultural connections in an increasingly globalized world and show people a side of China that they rarely see: its creativity and innovative spirit. --Huffington Post
