The article systematizes the main approaches adopted by a group of researchers from MGIMO

University, HSE University and the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy

of Sciences, united within the framework of the ”Moscow Project for the Study of Chinese Political

Culture”, to investigate the political culture of modern China through the monitoring of social networks.

The authors analyze the existing ideas about political culture in the Chinese academic discourse, identify

problems in studying the political views of Chinese citizens by traditional sociological methods (surveys,

questionnaires). They further explain the relevance of using social network analysis in modern studies of

Chinese society, and also describe the methodology they developed for studying social networks using

sentiment analysis. The article lays the theoretical and methodological basis for further research on

modern Chinese society based on an array of data from Chinese social networks.
