Recently, Associate Professor Zhang Xiaohan from the School of Marxism at Guangxi university published an academic paper titled“Fairness as a Bridge: How Different Types of Social Trust Shape the Evaluation of Grassroots Government Governance in Rural China”in “Humanities & Social Sciences Communications”, a sub-journal of “Nature” Zhang Xiaohan is the sole first author and corresponding author of the paper, and Guangxi university serves as both the primary institution and corresponding institution.

The paper explores the relationship between three types of social trust—government trust, particularized trust, and generalized trust—and evaluations of grassroots government governance in rural China. The innovations of the study are mainly reflected in the following aspects: In terms of research content, it emphasizes rural residents’ subjective evaluation of the governance capacity of grassroots governments. This research perspective differs from most previous studies, which primarily focused on objective governance performance indicators. This study examines, from the three dimensions of social trust, how government trust, particularized trust, and generalized trust affect governance evaluation in a society with a complex trust structure, and explores the mediating role of fairness perception, thereby providing a more detailed and in-depth understanding of the relationship between these three types of social trust and evaluations of grassroots government governance. At the same time, the paper reveals the positive effects of these three types of social trust on fairness perception and its subdimensions, offering a new perspective for understanding the interaction between trust and fairness perception and its subdimensions. Regarding the research subjects, social trust among rural Chinese residents exhibits a “differential order” pattern. Furthermore, the Chinese government adheres to a“people-centered”grassroots governance concept, placing increasing importance on public evaluation. Therefore, this paper focuses on rural China, examining from the perspective of farmers how multidimensional trust dynamics affect evaluations of grassroots government governance.
