Since the 1990s, Chinese scholars in political science have reflected their research methods and methodological problems systematically, which resulted in a consensus that the development of political science largely depended on the progress of research methods (Bai and Liu 1992a; Xiao and Cheng 2003; Xiao and Zheng 2005; Yan 2006). As a discipline that has been reinstated for less than 30 years, the achievement is remarkable; however, it still lags behind other social sciences, especially sociology, that were restored in the same period.
