Alienation and interaction between international and domestic studies on contemporary China

Alienation and interaction exist between international and domestic studies on contemporary China. Although Chinese scholars tend to widen the gap between Western and Chinese research, foreign researchers generally hold to their own opinions and criticize domestic studies. Nevertheless, domestic scholars have begun to address the existing problems of China’s development and have attempted to incorporate forward-leaning methods from other countries to seek solutions; foreign scholars have also begun to see their deficiencies in a more objective manner and are learning from domestic study results. Such introspection is helpful for pushing the boundaries of domestic studies on contemporary China and thereby increasing their influence in the international arena.
