This course will aim to present the essential social and political structures of contemporary China as well as the different components of Chinese society. It will emphasize the ongoing transformations generated by the reforms, while emphasizing certain legacies or certain permanences specific to Chinese civilization.

China is a multi-ethnic country, which stands out from its Asian neighbors. In a first part, the ethnic groups of China will be presented, with their geographical distributions and their differences, within the same feeling of being Chinese, which structures Chinese civilization.

Subsequently, the family, the basis of Chinese society, will be presented, as well as its components such as marriage, the position of women in society, the one-child policy, and the duties of men, which make also facing celibacy.

In a third part, the unique character of China's political organization will be explained, in a country where rural areas and urban areas are distinct and structured based on their strengths.

This course therefore takes up the major societal questions of China, from the couple to the family, including the political structure of the Empire, in order to highlight its developments and traditional concepts which are still very present.
