Abstract
This chapter examines the discussions about Mingzhu Dong (the chair of the board at a China-based international conglomerate company) and Angela Merkel (the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany) on Zhihu, focusing on how women in powerful positions are stereotypically portrayed in the Chinese digital environment. This chapter highlights the gendered evaluation of women’s career achievements and political participation in the Chinese context and the patriarchal rationale behind such an evaluation. It sheds light on the continuous marginalisation of women in China’s business domain and political arena, and its impacts on Chinese Internet users’ perception of womanhood in business and politics.
