School of Humanities and Social Science Division of Social Science 228 Understanding Socioeconomic Determinants of Crimes in China Supervisor: HE Guojun / SOSC Student: CEN Yonglin / IS Course: UROP3100, Spring This study sets out to explore the socioeconomic determinants of healthcare violence in China. We looked into the incidents that have been reported by the media in recent years to understand the common characteristics of these incidents. We also collected patients’ negative reviews from one of the largest online healthcare community platforms in China to understand patients’ complaints. We summarized the data and found similar conclusions with previous studies. We plan to continue the study by investigating the news dataset with the patient review. By understanding the causes of the incidents, we hope to provide valuable insights for healthcare institutions and policymakers in China to develop effective strategies for the industry. Repressing the Emotion: Censorship of Popular Culture under Authoritarianism Supervisor: HONG Jean (Ji Yeon) / SOSC Student: FANG Zihang / GCS Course: UROP1100, Spring This Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program 1100C progress report aims to describe the general background of authoritarianism censorship in the milieu of People’s Republic of China and the preliminary assignments done during the first session of the Program. Since the program is in progress, this report serves to report all the previous works which mainly cascade into two parts, literature review and descriptive data. For literature review, it mainly introduces two influential scholarships on authoritarian censorship recently and detailed description of the film censorship in China. For descriptive data, it introduces how the data is collected, followed by the comprehensive descriptive analysis of the data collected. It depicts the film production by month and year in 2020. It presents the relationship of geographic distribution of the films produced and the films censored. The future work will focus on the indepth analysis of the film production before and after the outbreak of pandemic, and the rationale behind censoring films in China by investigating the relationship between thematic texts and chances of being censored, which is designed to help the CCP indoctrinate its population by filtering the culture products up to the approved moral ideologies and official descriptions.
