  • Between epistemic empowerment and moral anxiety

    Open Access•Ronghui Yang•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2026

  • Toward Bounded Moralization

    Ronghui Yang•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2026

    Existing research on vaccination communication has emphasized commercial marketing and social mobilization, while culturally attuned approaches remain underexplored. This study examines how the Chinese state moralizes vaccine promotion on social media in emergencies. Using content analysis of 205 government-produced videos and 58 stakeholder interviews, we find that state actors frame vaccination as a civilizational practice that merges Confucian…

  • Digital nudges and gamification

    Open Access•Ronghui Yang, Yanchao Han•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    To overcome these obstacles, we propose implementing culturally attuned reward mechanisms, dynamically tailored challenge pathways, and robust online community governance to foster enduring public engagement. By revealing China's neighborhood-level digital nudge approaches, this research not only enriches global understanding of gamified chronic disease management but also provides transferable design principles for public health interventions wo…

  • Connecting efficiency and responsiveness in China

    Open Access•Ronghui Yang, Bart Penders et al.•ARTICLE•Disasters•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 47

    The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic initiated debates on how crisis management affects democracy. In them, the balance between deploying control strategies that limit citizens' freedom and their democratic legitimation features prominently. Informed by theoretical debates about responsive crisis governance, this paper explores how Chinese citizens reacted by quantitatively and qualitatively analysing social media expressions and Chin…

  • Unfolding Covid-19 vaccine communication campaigns in China’s neighborhoods

    Open Access•Ronghui Yang, Yanchao Han•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2023

    Introduction: The Chinese state has recently implemented the COVID-19 Vaccine Communication Campaign (CVCC) to counter vaccine hesitancy. Nonetheless, the extant literature that examines COVID-19 vaccine acceptance has less represented COVID-19 vaccine communication efforts. Methods: To address this lacuna, we qualitatively explored how CVCCs were organized in Chinese communities by investigating 54 Chinese stakeholders. Results: This study indic…

  • How committed is China to zero-Covid? Debating on how to execute China’s Covid policy

    Yuanbo Qi, Ronghui Yang et al.•ARTICLE•Inter-Asia Cultural Studies•2023

    China's COVID programme has created a great deal of controversy. One of the primary aspects is whether China needs to implement a strict and harsh mass control strategy to stop the spreading virus. Based on prior research on China's perceptions of its COVID policy, this article examines how China intends to contain the COVID by using content analysis of Chinese-language literature on the policy. It identifies four major suggestions to execute Chi…

  • Stakeholder perspectives on infant formula safety governance in China

    Open Access•Ronghui Yang, Klasien Horstman et al.•ARTICLE•Food Culture & Society•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 8

    This paper critically engages with dynamics of the Chinese food safety governance infrastructure following the melamine crisis. It presents a qualitative analysis of 16 in-depth stakeholder interviews in Hunan, Hubei, and Henan. We reveal tensions between a segmented model of governance and a centralized model, between a centralized top-down model and stakeholder participation, and between a public model and a private, decentral market where corp…

  • Constructing the accountability of food safety as a public problem in China

    Open Access•Ronghui Yang, Klasien Horstman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Chinese Governance•2020•Cited by: 5•References: 6

    Incessant food safety scandals in China have given rise to a loss of public trust in food safety, stimulating a series of studies focussing on food safety governance, accountability, and trust restoration. Against this backdrop, Chinese scholars are keen to reflect on different strategies for ensuring food safety public accountability and credibility, presenting different perspectives on issues like responsibility, trust, risk communication, and …
