Since the late 1990s, the Chinese government has engaged in a process of attempting to reform the technical global internet governance regime, which is currently dominated by the US government and non-state actors. This article aims to contribute to the literature on Beijing's approach to this issue by providing a detailed empirical account of its involvement in a few core regime organisations. It argues that Beijing's reform approach is guided by its domestically derived preferences for strong state authority and expanding China's global power, but that its reform efforts are unlikely to succeed based on countervailing structural hard- and soft-power factors.
