      ab: This article combines semantic network and critical discourse analysis to examine China's official cybersecurity discourse from 1983 to 2018. By integrating the securitization theory and positioning theory, it shifts the analytical focus from 'threat politics' to 'power politics' by theorizing securitization as a dynamic power game. Three historical phases of cybersecurity discourse are identified, reflecting China's evolved understanding of the issue and how it defines rights, obligations and power relations among involved actors. Though the state's self-positioning evolved across time, first as a modernization planner, then an authoritarian paternalist, and ultimately a rising power; all three stages demonstrate continuity in featuring a state-society power relationship with the state in the presiding position to securitize the Internet instrumentally toward pursuing its policy and strategic goals.
