This panel features five research presentations that investigate diverse yet interconnected aspects of Chinese citizenship in the Xi Jinping’s New Era. Topics include the Confucian citizen, political discourse, strategic narratives, gendered citizenship, and education as a tool for fostering civic engagement. Together, these presentations provide multifaceted insights into citizenship within China’s evolving sociopolitical landscape in the New Era, encouraging intellectual exchange and enhancing our understanding of how citizens navigate their identities, roles, and rights.
