In-person surveys were conducted together with colleagues at Peking University’s Research Center on Contemporary China (RCCC) in 2004, 2009 and 2014. Participants ranged in age from 18-70 and came from 29 provinces. Tibet and Xingiang were excluded.
In 2023, three rounds of online surveys, at the end of the second, third and fourth quarters, were conducted by the Survey and Research Centre for China Household Finance (CHFS) at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu, China. Participants ranged in age from 20-60.
The same questions were used in all surveys. To make responses comparable across all four years, the researchers excluded participants aged 18-19 and 61-70 and reweighted all answers to be nationally representative. All surveys contain a margin of error.
The study has been accepted for publication by The China Journal and is expected to be published in 2025.
Researchers for the China Dissent Monitor (CDM) have collected data on “dissent events” across China since June 2022 from a variety of non-government sources including news reports, social media platforms operating in the country and civil society organisations.
Dissent events are defined as instances where a person or persons use public and non-official means of expressing their dissatisfaction. Each event is highly visible and also subject to or at risk of government response, through physical repression or censorship.
These can include viral social media posts, demonstrations, banner drops and strikes, among others. Many events are difficult to independently verify.
2004年，2009年和2014年与北京大学当代中国研究中心（RCCC）的同事进行了面对面调查。 参与者的年龄从18岁到70岁不等，来自29个省。 西藏和新疆被排除在外。
2023年，中国西南财经大学中国家庭金融调查研究中心（CHFS）在第二，第三和第四季度末进行了三轮在线调查。 参与者的年龄从20岁到60岁不等。
所有调查都使用了同样的问题。 为了使所有四年的回答具有可比性，研究人员排除了18-19岁和61-70岁的参与者，并将所有答案重新加权为具有全国代表性的答案。 所有调查都包含误差范围。
该研究已被《中国日报》接受出版，预计将于2025年出版。
自2022年6月以来，中国异议监测机构（CDM）的研究人员从各种非政府来源收集了有关中国各地”异议事件”的数据，包括新闻报道，在该国运营的社交媒体平台和民间社会组织。
异议事件的定义是，一个人或多人使用公开和非官方手段表达不满的情况。 每个事件都是高度可见的，也受到或面临政府通过实际镇压或审查作出反应的风险。
这些可以包括病毒式社交媒体帖子，示威，旗帜掉落和罢工等。 许多事件很难独立核实。
