Abstract: Through a survey of current social policy arrangements and historical trajectories, the emerging Chinese welfare state is positioned in relation to the main models in the literature on welfare state typologies. It is found that the emerging welfare state in China is developing in response to economic necessity rather than political-ideological drivers, a process which is not original, not socialist, and not developmental. China’s emerging welfare state can be best classified as a fragmented liberal-conservative hybrid model which is limited and defensive in terms of both ambition and practice. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
