Bridging awareness and investment behavior: The role of education and environmental responsibility awareness in household energy consumption
Advocating for low-carbon residential energy usage is crucial for attaining China's carbon neutrality objectives. This study utilizes a stratified survey of 741 households in Zhongshan to investigate the interplay between educational attainment and environmental responsibility awareness in influencing the willingness to pay extra for energy-efficient appliances. It also examines the spatial and behavioral dynamics underlying these decisions. The …
Towards a Notion of Relational Sacrifices: Nursing During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Wuhan
In this article we critically examine the depiction of nurses as sacrificial, heroes and angels fighting on the frontline of the war against COVID-19 against the lived experience of Shanghai-based nurses who volunteered to be seconded to treat COVID-19 patients in a hospital in Wuhan, China. In the article, we argue that the military discourses of soldering and war and the discourses of heroic sacrificial nurses become conflated during the COVID-…

Depoliticisation, hybridisation and dual processes of stigmatisation: An examination of the civilising offensive in China’s rural areas through moral review councils
In this article, I examine the moral review councils (MRCs) established in China’s rural areas since the early 1980s. I show that MRCs create a liminal plebeian public sphere in the context of a civilising offensive that deals with the uncivil behaviours of individuals and disputes between neighbours. In this plebeian public sphere, the MRC incorporates techniques of the Maoist mass meeting, the democratic election, traditional mediation and a pe…
Governing for and through harmonious community: The emergence of moral clinics in China
In this article, we advocate the adoption of ‘more temporal and processual characters’ to understand contemporary community governance in China. We show that communities in China are seen both as producing moral problems and as being the solutions to these problems. Furthermore, we argue that the establishment of the moral clinic provides an alternative to neoliberal ways of self-governance. In the article, we present moral clinics as a new form …

Utilizing the moral nobility of older Chinese women in governance: The uses of humility, empathy, and an ethics of care in moral clinics in Huzhou city
This paper examines the emergence of the role of "moral doctors" who volunteer in what are called "moral clinics" in Huzhou city. In these moral clinics, the characteristics, experiences, and attributes of older women, in particular, are highly valued and viewed as being essential to the role of the moral doctor. These moral doctors act as moral exemplars and conflict mediators in their local communities. Their moral capital and professionalism, …
Governing through ‘the family’ in China: Cultivating ethical political subjects through officials’ ‘nearest and dearest’
In this article we argue that the families of Communist Party members are increasingly being seen as both part of the problem and part of the solution to eradicating corruption in contemporary China. Our findings reveal how families are being investigated as well as co-opted by the party as a mechanism for encouraging its members to become ethical communist subjects. The current anti-corruption campaign in China is the context that has enabled th…
Regaining honour and regaining legitimacy: Shame, obedience and risk practices amongst Chinese communist officials
As part of its anti-corruption campaigns in China, the Communist Party of China (CCP) provides officials opportunities to redeem themselves and renew their vows of loyalty to the Party and the people they serve. Officials must regain honour through a process of self-confrontation and self-renunciation in compulsory meetings in which they are encouraged to transform their immoral thoughts and behaviours through confessional criticism and self-crit…
Nurturing resilient future citizens through value consistency vs. the retreat from multiculturalism and securitisation in the promotion of British values in schools in the UK
The controversial duty to promote British values in Schools and Further Education Colleges in England, Scotland and Wales was introduced in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. This duty is described by some as the introduction of securitising mechanism into British Schools, for others it is a symptom of the UK Government’s further retreat from Multiculturalism. In this article, we present the duty as the most recent reconstructive interv…
