Open Knowledge and Digital China: Open Access, Networked Technologies and the Transformation of Publishing and Scholarship Our knowledge systems are undergoing a profound transformation driven by open access, networked technologies, disruptive innovations, and various kinds of 'open' ethos in science, education and communication. In this paper, I would like to critically rethink open knowledge, with focuses shifting from advocacy to complexity and diversity. I will examine the open knowledge developments in the context of 'digital China', as well as the impacts of China's rising open knowledge systems.
