Simulated superiority and mediated geopolitics: Affective responses to AI-generated political parody in Chinese digital space
As generative AI technologies reshape the landscape of political communication, they are increasingly used to craft symbolic narratives of international rivalry. This study investigates how AI-generated political parodies circulating in Chinese digital spaces function as affective tools of “simulated superiority,” helping public process geopolitical tension and reassert national identity. Based on a between-subjects experiment ( N = 397) conducte…
Coordinating Digital Responsibility: Public Perceptions of Content Governance in Non‐Western Contexts
The global surge of harmful online content—ranging from disinformation and hate speech to incivility and cyberbullying—has raised pressing concerns about the integrity of digital information and the health of public discourse. A research primarily focuses on democratic societies, this study examines governance perceptions in tightly regulated environments. Drawing on an online survey in China, we investigate how citizens allocate responsibility a…
Allocating Content Governance Responsibility in China: Heterogeneous Public Attitudes Toward Multistakeholder Involvement Strategies
While various social contexts have embraced the multistakeholder model of Internet governance, examination of its configurations and public expectations in the Global South is still rare. Through conducting a national survey ( N = 1199), this study sheds light on the Chinese public's attitudes toward assigning responsibility to various entities (e.g., governments, platforms, and users) to moderate problematic content in cyberspace. Its focus is o…

Structural-violence framing, de-gendering discourse, and muted misogyny: The official media’s representation of gender-based violence in contemporary china
From Hobbled to Flow: Reconstructing Ontological Security Scale and Anticipating China Policy Preferences in Germany, Japan, India, and the United States
Ontological security (OS) has emerged as a significant factor shaping political perception. However, existing OS models suffer from three issues: methodological incoherence, limited policy relevance, and insufficient cross‐cultural applicability. These issues are impeding a quantitative transformation of OS studies within the field of international relations. This research challenges the perception of OS as empirically fragmented, asserting inste…
Clustering Ideology-threat associations: Revisiting the multi-Dimensionality of Political Ideology and Its Effects on International threat Perceptions
This study explores how the covariance of political ideologies affects international threat perceptions in the Australian, UK, and US contexts. By synthesizing prior research, it develops multidimensional models of political ideologies, revealing four clusters: uni-valence, ambivalence, alienated ambivalence, and indifference. The results indicate that some respondents are active in simultaneously adopting multiple conflicting ideologies (ambival…
Identifying the potential of Internet use to mitigate cognitive bias of subjective socioeconomic status: A political ideology perspective in China
Socioeconomic status has long been understood as a key factor in individuals' attitudes, cognition, and well-being. However, less attention has been given to the determinants of subjective socioeconomic status with consideration for the disparity between objective socioeconomic status and subjective socioeconomic status. Drawing on a nation-wide survey in China, this study explores how authoritarianism, system justification, and subjective well-b…
Countering Ethnic Minority-Targeted Hate Speech in a Multicultural Society
Connecting gender role attitudes among China’s youth to perceptions of the state: A bottom-up approach
The present study examines the gender–state dynamics in the Chinese context through a bottom-up approach by adopting an online survey method. We find four indicators, which are male priority, child suffering, gender ideology, marriage and fertility, could reflect one common factor—gender egalitarianism, and we utilize this scale to measure gender role attitudes among China’s youth, as well as explore their psycho-political antecedents including s…

How Does Short Video Viewing Influence Young Children’s Everyday Language Practices? A Case Study of China
Hobbled across the Road: Ontological Securities, Security Values, and the Threat Perception of China in Australian, South Korean, and US Contexts
Despite the escalating perception of China as a “threat” in some Western countries, existing cross‐national investigations lack a psychological framework that incorporates identity factors such as ontological security (OS) and diverse security value orientations to predict the threat. This study introduces a framework of self‐reported individual‐difference measures, tapping into ontological security and security value orientation, to analyze thei…
How does pro-attitudinal information improve intergroup relations? Unraveling the underlying mechanism of American and Chinese people’s mutual attitudes
Though media exposure research typically links pro-attitudinal information with ingroup favoritism and outgroup derogation, the empirical evidence to date is inconclusive. Can attitude-consistent media diminish prepositions and ease intergroup tensions? If so, what type of like-minded media content should ingroups be exposed to? Rather than approaching from the perspective of the morality dimension, which has been well-researched, this study took…
The role of heritage language in multiple dimensions of ethnic identity: A case study of Chinese-Australian adolescents
Language is often regarded as one of the characteristics of interaction-based observed race, and heritage language is no exception. Considering the bilingual cultural environment of the Chinese community in Australia, this research analyses the language–ethnic identity relationships of Chinese-Australian adolescents. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews and participant observations, it examines the role of Chinese as a heritage language in …

Moving Away From Partisanship: Diversifying the Motives Behind Political Polarization
Most current academic work on political polarization treats partisanship as the dominant motivational driver behind social cleavage and mass polarization. This essay engages in the debate by moving beyond the conceptual straitjacket of partisanship-driven polarization, recasting the primary motives behind political polarization into the three situated and interrelated ideologies that drive the phenomenon of polarization at a mass level, namely, p…
Rights-oriented or responsibility-oriented? Two subtypes of populism in contemporary China
The present investigation engages in the debate on populism from a demand/acceptance perspective by providing examinations and explanations within the Chinese context. It clarifies the heterogeneity of China’s populism, separating rights-oriented populism, which shares the element of anti-elitism with the populism found in most European nations, from responsibility-oriented populism, which has ideological roots in China’s specific socio-political…
Diversifying Conspiracy Beliefs and Populist Ideologies in the Chinese Context
While previous research suggests that conspiratorial reasoning and populist ideology often walk hand‐in‐hand, this study explores their correlations by considering their internal heterogeneity in the sociopolitical context of China. Through an online survey ( N = 807), the present investigation identifies two subtypes of populism (right‐ vs. responsibility‐oriented), alongside two subtypes of conspiracy beliefs (pro‐system vs. anti‐system), and e…
