| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
By focusing on legislative efforts of the party regarding contemporary social issues, this research will interpret and assess the political stance of Chinese leadership towards different social issues, such as for example income inequality or environmental degradation. Analysis of social media discourse on different issues will evaluate the level of social resentment towards the state. One of the central questions will be how much influence do social unrests, such as worker’s strikes or local protests have on the political decision-making.

The focus of the research was on state-society relations in China under the rule of Xi Jinping. The research aimed to expound on the historical significance and impact of Xi Jinping in contemporary Chinese politics from the perspective of state-society relations. The research focused on some specific topics, such as poverty alleviation, theoretical background and the analysis of Xi Jinping's shift to authoritarianism.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was not possible to conduct field work in China. As a result, I was forced to write articles based on secondary materials such as published articles, government data, and newspaper articles. Then, I sent an article to an academic journal, which was rejected unfortunately.
For the same reason, I had few opportunities to attend academic conferences, and thus was not able to present a paper.
