ABSTRACT

Chinese feminism is undoubtedly influenced by the West. However, due to the different basic national conditions and different political ideologies, there are great differences in the process of development. This paper tries to analyze the role of feminism in international relations from the perspective of international relations. In this respect, it summarizes the six main differences between Chinese and Western feminism: Appearance Time, Supporter, Trigger Point, Dominant Group, Domestic Status, and International Status. In addition, from a more macro perspective, this paper attempts to identify the three most significant differences mentioned in the classification for analysis, which are policymakers, trigger points, and the level of importance attached to the country.
