Abstract English	This paper sheds light on the increasingly relevant question of Chinese cyber nationalism and its implications for China and the World. The paper’s aim is to explore the role of Chinese cyber nationalism in defining the Chinese nation and Chinese national identity in the 21st century. It argues that, within the realm of nationalist discourse on the Internet, Chinese netizens are actively challenging the Chinese Communist Party’s definition of the Chinese nation and Chinese national identity; and thus may well impact on the further development of a civil society and democratization in China.
Abstract Chinese	中国网络民族主义现象所代表的含义已经越来越深远，不仅是对中国同样也是对世界而言。本文的主要目的是考察中国网络民族主义在21世纪在“华人的身份”以及“中国”的定义上扮演着怎样的角色。作者认为，在民族主义话题里，利用互联网做平台，中国的网民得以跟中国共产党所给于的“华人的身份”以及“中国”的定义挑战，因此中国网络民族主义极有可能影响中国向国民社会以及民主化道路上的发展。
