China has reached a remarkable economic accomplishment. However, the social movements in China have been tripled than they did ten years ago. It implies that the harmony of Chinese society is not as good as expected under the rapid growth of economy. The Chinese government tries to sustain the economic growth and secure the social harmony against social upheaval. Nonetheless, what kind of social change has occurred that leads to the frequent social movements? Could Chinese government’s mechanism of maintaining stability sustain its regime? This thesis attempts to discuss the root causes, historical background and social impacts of China’s recent social movements after China opened its market and turned into capitalism since 1978. This thesis illustrates current conditions, features and obstacles of China social movements, taking Beijing Liulitun event, Guangdong Wukan event and Strikes of Honda Motor in Guangdong as examples. Lastly but not least, this thesis discusses whether the operation of Chinese government’s mechanism of maintaining stability works or not, and the potential development of the regime of Chinese government under frequent social movements.
