Research Hotspot Evolution and Prospect Analysis of Foreigners’ Cultural Adaptation in China : A CiteSpace-Based Bibliometric Analysis
Amid the deepening of globalization and China’s sustained opening-up drive, the resident foreign population in China has witnessed a steady expansion in scale and an increasing diversification in demographic composition. Their cultural adaptation exerts a profound impact on China’s cross-cultural exchanges and the overall course of the country’s internationalization. This study seeks to systematically delineate the academic evolution, core research themes, and developmental patterns of studies on foreigners’ cultural adaptation in China, thereby addressing a critical research gap in the existing literature: the absence of a systematic quantitative synthesis of relevant research findings. To this end, this study retrieved academic articles from core Chinese journals, including those indexed in Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI), from three major Chinese academic databases - China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and Chongqing VIP (CQVIP). The research then conducted a visual bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace 6.4.R1, adopting core analytical methods such as keyword clustering, burst detection, centrality measurement, and timeline mapping. The findings demonstrate that this research field has undergone three distinct developmental stages: conceptual introduction and preliminary exploration, theoretical framework construction and rapid research expansion, and thematic deepening and targeted empirical investigation. Further analysis indicates that the field’s evolution is driven by the synergistic interaction of three core factors: the adjustments of China’s relevant policy frameworks, the shifts in societal demands, and advances in technological innovation. This study makes several contributions to the field. By employing CiteSpace-based bibliometric analysis, it clarifies the evolutionary features of research on foreigners’ cross-cultural adaptation in China, thus filling the methodological gaps in the existing literature. By focusing on the diverse groups of foreign residents in China, it mitigates potential research biases in relevant studies. Moreover, it bridges academic research and practical applications, providing targeted insights to inform policy formulation and service optimization for foreign residents, and it also offers valuable implications for Sino-Korean academic exchanges and people-to-people connectivity.

소개
본 연구소의 설립을 통해 우선 한중 양국 국민의 상호이해와 교류증진을 위한 인문, 사회과학적인 연구는 물론이고, 이를 통해 기업(인)이 중국에 안정적인 정착과 교류를 할 수 있는 각종 환경을 조성하고자 한다.
게다가 본 연구소는 기존의 연구소의 기능과는 달리 단순한 학술 교류에 머물지 않고 인적 교류를 통해 양국관계의 이해를 증진하고 나아가 한국과 중국의 각종 프로젝트를 적극 유치, 개발함으로써 지속적으로 재원의 창출을 도모하고자 한다.
