Chinese perceptions of the European Union / Dong, Lisheng   Journal Article
Dong, Lisheng Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article uses survey data collected in 2010 and conducts a systematic comparative analysis of the perceptions of the EU by the Chinese general public and the elite. Most ordinary Chinese citizens do not understand the EU very well, but their impressions of the EU are very positive and they also hold good expectations for the future of China-EU relations. The Chinese elites and ordinary citizens differ significantly in terms of 'favoring the EU' or 'favoring Russia'. The multivariate model indicates that EU travel experience, annual income level and Internet dependence have significant positive effects on 'favoring-EU' feelings. Those who have EU travel experience, higher levels of annual income and greater opportunities to obtain information via the Internet are more likely to be 'favoring-EU'.

Sources of local political trust in rural China / Kübler, Daniel; Dong, Lisheng   Journal Article
Dong, Lisheng Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Based on a questionnaire survey in five counties of Ya’an Municipality in south-western China, the study reveals a fairly high level of political trust among citizens. The study also confirms the disparate trust in different levels of government known from other studies, i.e. that political trust in the central government is higher than political trust in local governments. The contribution of this research is a fine-grained investigation into the sources of local political trust in the municipality under scrutiny. More precisely, the analysis shows that political trust in local governments is associated with both cultural factors and perceptions of the quality of local government. Particularly, political trust in local governments is strongly influenced by the perception that these governments perform well, are responsive to citizens’ needs, and are free from corruption.
