Abstract: Designed to align research with national priorities, China's dual-track funding system for the humanities and social sciences (HSS) comprises both vertical (government-led) and horizontal (stakeholder-driven) channels.Despite substantial growth in national R&D investment, HSS research continues to lag behind STEM research, due to policy-driven funding imbalances.Systemic challenges, including the entrenched role of guanxi, rigid performance-based evaluation frameworks, and unequal resource distribution, undermine equity and constrain the innovative potential of HSS disciplines.hina has rapidly emerged as a global leader in research and development, propelled by sustained and strategic investments in science and technology.While STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields often dominate headlines, the funding landscape for the humanities and social sciences (HSS) reveals both notable progress and enduring challenges.
