Chinese Society in 2016: Stable but under Tightened Control

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2017, vol. 09, issue 01, 63-77

Abstract: China enjoyed a relatively “stable” and peaceful 2016. This did not mean that social problems had been addressed, but indicated that the authorities had strengthened their capacity to maintain social stability. The middle class’ rising grievances over the deteriorating environment and the incompetent legal system have aroused collective action in cyberspace. The government has strengthened its control of non-governmental organisations and public opinion on the internet.
