This paper considers that China has experienced phased changes from firstly “big government” vs. “small society” (1994-2002), then “government” vs. “society” (2003-2012), and lastly “big government” vs. “society” (2013- ) as information control and flow changes. The information balance, originated form the wide use of Internet, between the \"government\" and the \"society\", offered the pre-conditions for the birth of information-based interactions between the society and the government. The multi-actors in the society played roles in the development from this interaction to the better governance. With more new information technologies strengthening the ability of the “big government”, for the purpose of better governance, space shall be maintained by the government to the “social” growth and the social actors’ work continuing. |
