Some arguments I may question:
1. Wu Xu praised Chinese cyber nationalism. For example, he stresses the positive influence of Chinese mainland cyber nationalism on Taiwan Strait crisis during 1995-1996, and the influence of overseas Chiese cyber nationalism on 1996 Atlanta Olympics which ask NBC to apology for their accusation of Chinese athletes cheating in public finally.
2. Again for his absolute positive attitude toward Chinese cyber nationalism, and adopting the public shpere model to analysis this phenomenon, based on the assumption that Chinese cyber nationalism is rational.
3. His technology determinism tendency, which consider Interent changed the old formula of China’s public opinion formation, and it is the Internet which make Chinese nationalism not only a kind of ideology, but also a movement.
However, his argument that the top leaders really do invest substantial time and capital in monitoring activity in cybersphere, and the policy has actually changed as a result of nationalist cyber activity, is a solid base and start point for my study.

First time to run into your blog here
Seems we have a lot in common in research:-)
I used "banal nationalism" as part of my framework in my thesis, but I quite agree with you that this is not the case in China.
but somehow it can be projected in an "everyday" narrative, as my case study shows.
Hope you're doing well. It'll be great if we could exchange some thoughts at times
:-)
