Abstract

[In the year 2013, the number of public opinion incidents with a greater “heat” or pressure profile has decreased compared to 2012. While the number of public opinion incidents pertaining to organizations and institutions has increased, the proportion of such incidents to the total has decreased. A large number of public opinion incidents were related to improper speech and behavior, public policies, and breaches of the law. Attention levels were the highest with regard to public opinion incidents pertaining to natural disasters. Among various municipalities, provinces, and autonomous regions, Beijing contributed the highest number of public opinion incidents. The time taken between the occurrence and the public exposure of a public opinion incident has become shorter. Response times on the Weibo services have become slightly shorter. New media outlets continue to be the exposure medium of choice, although the proportion of exposures via traditional media has risen slightly. Local governments are the key intervening actors, and tend to intervene more quickly. The 2012 Public Opinion Pressure Index was the highest for the period 2003–2013. Based on the distribution of public opinion pressure in the last 11 years, the index is comparatively higher in Beijing, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Henan.]
