| Summary/Abstract |
This article investigates the interaction between the empowerment of Chinese sexual minorities through social media and its impact on the bargaining capacity of society with the State in terms of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans-gender (LGBT) (Since ‘sexual minority’ and ‘LGBT’ are neutral terms used in news reports, social media posts and academic articles and have been translated into ‘xing shao shu’ in most cases in Chinese discourse, this article will use these two terms interchangeably for research and quotation purposes.) movements in China. Although censorship in China silences collective expression, social media empower Chinese sexual minorities to promote information publicity and increase public visibility. Moreover, by looking at the case of Qiu Bai, a lesbian college student who sued the Ministry of Education for its maladministration on homophobic textbooks in a social media environment, it indicates how LGBT activists use social media to enlighten the public during the process of fighting for their equal rights within the legal framework and more broadly, how the Internet influences the state-society relations in a traditionally sensitive issue area.

| Summary/Abstract |
The power shift from West to East has engendered an increasingly confrontational and competitive multipolar system in cyberspace governance. The West has to confront the real possibility of its decline in the face of the rising influence of the non-Western world, as shown in the intensive discussions over ‘Westlessness’ at the 2020 Munich Security Conference. In order to address scholarly concerns around cyberspace governance in a digitalised world, this Special Core examines competing ideas and norms of cyberspace governance from comparative perspectives, shedding light on the promising research field of global cyberspace governance and the debate on ‘Westlessness’ in the study of international politics.

| Summary/Abstract |
In order to better capture the dynamics of global cyber governance, it is important to go beyond the established West vs. non-West dichotomy in the scholarly literature and thus develop a more nuanced understanding of the variations of cyber governance norms and approaches within and beyond the traditional Western camp, as well as to take into account the role of regional organisations in reshaping the normative framework of cyber governance. Indeed, the European Union is emerging as a new norm entrepreneur and autonomous regional actor in cyber governance by proactively projecting its regulatory and normative power in the digital sphere. In contrast, the development of ASEAN’s cyber governance norms is a process of norm subsidiarity based on ASEAN’s unique diplomatic culture and normative structure characterised by the ASEAN Way and the principle of ASEAN centrality.
