This article investigates how activists use science communication to protest the regulation and use of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. The article reports on a participant observation study of the motivations of the activists as well as the form and content of their activities. The article hereby questions the apparently close links between the systems of state and science in China. It also points to different configurations of the relationship between scientists, activists, science communication and publics than what has been common in analyses of science communication and activism in Western countries.
本文调查了活动人士如何利用科学传播来抗议中国对中医药的监管和使用。本文报道了一项对活动人士动机以及他们活动形式和内容的参与式观察研究。本文由此质疑了中国国家和科学系统之间显然密切的联系。它还指出了科学家、活动人士、科学传播和公众之间的关系与西方科学传播和活动分析中常见的关系不同。
