This thesis examines the politics of refusal through the discursive online discourse on the issue of reproduction in China. It argues that the discourse of individuals who refuse or are reluctant to reproduce displays a unique form of civil disobedience and counter-hegemonic practice. This stance directly challenges the state’s biopolitical agenda aimed at boosting population growth and contests dominant nationalistic narratives that associate reproduction with national rejuvenation, especially after the tightened nationalistic control over individual sexuality and political freedom since the abolition of the One Child Policy in 2015. Specifically, people’s experiences with arbitrary policy shifts, pervasive censorship, and repressive state actions, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic, have altogether intensified their feelings of political disillusionment in the past few years. By using digital ethnography and in-depth interviews, this research investigates the complex power dynamics between the state and individual citizens in the reproductive discourse, while drawing on the theory of biopower and hegemony to evaluate how power and resistance operate and interact with each other. Ultimately, this discursive discourse, symbolized by slogans like “We are the last generation,” represents more than individuals’ personal choices, as it signifies a strong political statement against state control and raises ethical critiques of reproduction under current socio-political conditions.
