Recently a number of scholars have examinedguanxi(connections/social relationships) and its role in the structure of Chinese society as the economic transition progresses. While many China scholars viewguanxias a deep-seated cultural fact of Chinese society, I viewguanxias an institutionally defined system – i.e. a system that depends on the institutional structure of society rather than on culture – that is changing in stride with the institutional changes of the reform era. Some scholars have argued that social networks and the use of these networks to exchange gifts and favours (guanxi xueorguanxi practice) are increasing in imnnrtanre. in China's transition.
