Narrating the New Cold War: Investigating Chinese Cyber Propaganda and Sino-American Tensions on Bilibili
Full text linkThis thesis examines Bilibili, a Chinese video-sharing platform originally known for its anime, comics, and gaming (ACG) content, as a critical site for the formation and circulation of nationalist discourse in the context of a “New Cold War” between the United States and China. As ideological rivalry increasingly shifts from traditional state media and military posturing to decentralized digital platforms, Bilibili offers a unique case study in how propaganda evolves in participatory online spaces. Through a combination of digital ethnography and discourse analysis, this research explores how Bilibili’s algorithmic infrastructure, comment culture (弹幕), and remix-oriented design allow users to not only consume, but also co-produce and localize state-aligned ideological narratives. Focusing on the platform’s reinterpretations of Western media (particularly the reception of Childish Gambino’s This Is America music video) and engagement with geopolitical topics like NATO, this study reveals how Bilibili enables a hybrid model of propaganda that blends state influence with user agency. These interactions generate emotionally resonant and culturally embedded narratives that reinforce Chinese nationalism, not through top-down imposition, but through selective amplification and participatory consensus. This thesis argues that such a model represents a significant evolution in global propaganda practices, wherein digital nationalism becomes both affective and interactive, blurring the boundaries between entertainment, ideology, and statecraft in the 21st-century information landscape
Virtual Dignitary Torts
No full textThe emergence of the metaverse and spatial computing, which has enabled immersive digital interactions, raise complex legal questions. This work examines the feasibility of addressing dignitary torts-such as battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress-committed via avatars. The particular challenge for tort law is the nonphysical nature of selfrepresentations in these virtual spaces. Drawing from the historical evolutions of several dignitary torts, such as the law of battery and emotional harm, this article argues that the key in allowing for the recognition of such harms is appreciating the expansion of the protection of physical body within these torts, to the protection of a broader concept of the self. By this, tort law has demonstrated both its willingness and capacity to recognize new forms of wrongs without sacrificing its core principles. Accordingly, this essay lays the groundwork for recognizing harms in virtual spaces and offers several initial considerations for dignitary tort liability regime and the extension of the self in extended reality spaces. Bridging the gap between evolving technology and traditional tort law is a must in a world where virtual interactions are carrying increasingly real consequences
The Empirical Double Standard: Opinion Surveys Across the Civil-Criminal Divide
No full textAcross different legal domains, liability doctrines recognize the value of community input. But do courts truly listen to the community\u27s voice when deciding these sorts of cases? This study is the first to explore how courts treat community opinion survey evidence across both civil and criminal law. To that end, we comprehensively examine trademark, false advertising, patent, antitrust, obscenity, death penalty, and Fourth Amendment search cases.
Our research uncovers a significant asymmetry: courts readily admit survey evidence in civil proceedings but systematically exclude it in criminal cases. This asymmetry does not appear to stem from structural differences between civil and criminal litigation systems, nor from differences in judicial bureaucracies. Instead, we argue, its source is judicial decision-making bias. We contend that in criminal cases, judges feel comfortable with and morally able to decide issues without outside input. But judges have fewer (if any) moral intuitions about the salient issues in civil cases, leading them to be more willing to accept community input. This asymmetry unfairly denies criminal defendants the opportunity to present empirical evidence that more accurately reflects the standards that are expressly part of these criminal doctrines.
By documenting this potential judicial bias, we challenge existing evidentiary practices that disadvantage criminal defendants and compromise legal fairness. Situated at the intersection of empirical legal studies, evidence law, and judicial process theory, this Article offers novel insights for legal scholars, practitioners, and judges who seek to improve judicial decision-making. We propose concrete recommendations, including encouraging judges to explicitly recognize survey evidence\u27s relevance and urging all legal professionals to develop greater empirical literacy
Economic Warfare Against Iran’s Nuclear Program
No full textThis study evaluates the effectiveness of economic sanctions imposed on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with a particular emphasis on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the Maximum Pressure Campaign (MPC). Using the Economic Coercion Trilemma framework, this research analyzes the impact of these sanctions regimes on Iran’s nuclear program through the lenses of efficacy, political feasibility, and unintended consequences. Ultimately this study explores the question: Could sustained sanctions have constrained Iran’s access to critical resources, effectively halting its pursuit of nuclear weapons? The findings suggest that while both the JCPOA and MPC had varying degrees of success, neither fully achieved their desired objective of halting Iran’s nuclear development. This analysis contributes to the broader discourse on the limits of sanctions as a tool for nuclear non-proliferation and offers insights into optimizing future sanctions strategy
