“…To our knowledge, few studies have examined the personal growth dimension and it may be that the FES-CV scale which was developed more than 20 years ago, is less relevant due to changes in China over the years (Chen et al, 2015). Take an item in the moral-religious emphasis subscale claiming divorce as unethical for example, Chinese people used to view divorce as dishonourable and unacceptable; views on divorce have altered substantially, with divorce now being perceived as a legitimate and possible solution for marital misfortunes (He, 2021). At the same time, however, it is important to note that divorce often stigmatizes children and to some extent contributes to adolescents' negative outcomes (He, 2021).…”

Moreover, compared with the divorce itself, the couples' relationship after divorce is more likely to correspond to youth's development (Deng et al, 2016).…”

“…In 2021, the party limited the number of hours that students under the age of 18 may play video games each week and banned private tutoring (Zhongguo Zhengfu Wang, 2019. The male-led party wants married people to stay married, making it difficult for women who have reported domestic violence or abuse to obtain a divorce (He, 2021). To address the demographic crises caused by its own one-child policy, including a rapidly ageing population, it exhorts women to have three children-despite many young women expressing a desire to have no children at all.…”

Political and Social Control in China: The Consolidation of Single-Party Rule

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since 2012 the Communist Party of China (CPC) has strengthened its monopoly on political power and greatly expanded its control over Chinese social and economic life. The sustained expansion of political and social controls across multiple arenas indicates that politics in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is entering the second part of the cycle that some observers, including Chinese intellectuals, call the fang-shou shiqi (放收时期), or 'relaxing and tightening cycle'. Since the beginning of the post-Mao reform era in the 1980s, the party has oscillated between a more relaxed (liberal) posture and a tight (repressive) one. Relatively relaxed periods have been characterised by social, cultural, economic and intellectual liberalisation, including greater tolerance for free expression and criticism. We could refer to this mode of governance as 'soft authoritarianism'. However, when periods of openness have produced too much criticism or social unrest, as during the student-led protest movement of 1989, party leaders have sensed a threat to their grip on power and responded by clamping down on the threat-with the help of the army in 1989-and by tightening political and social controls more generally. We could refer to this mode of governance as 'hard authoritarianism'. people to work towards specific state goals. All individual freedoms become subsumed by duty and obedience to the state. Under hard authoritarianism, individual freedoms can still exist, particularly in the economic sphere, but various forms of social organisation will be subjected to close state surveillance. Under totalitarian rule, very little activity takes place outside state direction and surveillance. Earlier periods of CPC rule, notably during the Mao era, can be described as totalitarian, but those who use the term to describe today's China oversimplify the fragmented nature of China's vast state and overlook the freedoms that are available to people in the social and economic sphere (in stark contrast to the Mao era). David Shambaugh (2018) discusses four possible political futures for China: neo-totalitarianism, hard authoritarianism, soft authoritarianism and semi-democracy. Shambaugh argues that China will stagnate if it stays on the path of hard authoritarianism, making a return to soft authoritarianism more likely.

“…Finally, this study advances the internationalization of criminological literature by studying Chinese judges' perceptions of court litigants and administrators. Although empirical studies on Chinese judicial behavior have increased in recent decades (e.g., An et al, 2011;He, 2021;Li et al, 2018;Liu & Li, 2019;Lu et al, 2013;Stern, 2010;Wei & Xiong, 2020;Xiong et al, 2018), judges' attitudes toward litigants stay elusive in this vein of inquiry. Supervisor justice could be particularly relevant in China due to the absence of judicial independence in individual judges' decision-making and the court administrators' control over judges' work assignments and performance and promotion evaluations.…”

Recent literature on procedural justice has consistently shown positive organizational outcomes resulting from fair and just treatment by supervisors. This study expands the current literature by assessing the beneficial effect of being treated fairly and justly by supervisors in court settings. Based on survey data from Chinese judges, this study analyzes the direct linkage between supervisor procedural justice and judges’ perceived tensions with litigants and their indirect relationship through trust in litigants and external procedural justice. The results of structural equation modeling indicate that supervisor justice is positively related to trust in litigants and external procedural justice and negatively associated with tensions with litigants. The indirect connection between supervisor justice and tensions with litigants is mainly through external procedural justice. Female and seasoned judges are more willing than their male and less-experienced counterparts to treat litigants in a procedurally just manner.
