The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Citizenship

Zhonghua Guo is a professor of political science at Sun Yat-sen University, China. He has authored three monographs and edited two books concerning citizenship studies.

This book challenges assumptions of Chinese citizenship: that the concept is alien to Chinese culture and that is authoritarian to a degree that citizenship play a limited role. In contrast, China has its unique and rich experience of the emergence, development, rights, obligations, acts, culture, education, and sites of citizenship.
