Chapter 4 focuses on Internet usage time, usage patterns, and citizens’ real-life (offline) political participation. This chapter analyzes the real-life political participation of Internet users in Guangzhou and explores the influence of Internet usage time and patterns on real-life political participation in China using the uses and gratifications theory. Through analyzing a total of 1494 data, it is found that Internet usage time is unrelated to real-life political participation. Among the different Internet usage patterns, staying informed about domestic and international news events online shows a negative correlation with real-life political participation, while expressing personal opinions and views on various public affairs online exhibits a significant positive correlation with real-life political participation. Therefore, Internet users who express their opinions on various public affairs online, though representing only a subset of all Internet users, are the most politically engaged group in terms of real-life political participation.
