摘　　要：Past studies on the Chinese internet management system have revealed a smart internet management system that takes advantage of time to filter content with collective action potential.How and why such a system was institutionalized?We offer a historical institutional analysis to explain the way in which the system evolved.We implement social network analysis to examine the Weibo posts of recurrent events,the elections in Area A in 2016 and 2018,to identify pattern changes in the system.There are two aspects of the changes:the centralization of the command line to a single authority and the implementation of a discriminatory strategy to deal with the various online expressions together forming this intelligent system.The improved Chinese information surveillance system demonstrates both a top-down information management and a bottom-up opinion formation.
