Despite various attempts to introduce vulnerability theory in China, including efforts by prominent scholars, it has yet to significantly influence Chinese legal scholarship or reforms.
Chizuko Ueno's address at the University of Tokyo highlighted that "feminism is about building a world where the vulnerable can be vulnerable without concerns," but this idea hasn’t led to deeper engagement with vulnerability theory.
Vulnerability theory, with its focus on the universality of human vulnerability, can help analyze longstanding cultural narratives like "women hold up half the sky," which often oversimplify women's challenges.
The absence of vulnerability theory's influence in China is attributed to a cultural reluctance to confront vulnerability directly, despite the expanding feminist discourse seen on social media.
