Abstract: Based on one of the authors’ experiences in social scientific studies on China in the UK for more than two decades, we assert that Chinese social sciences have not been accorded their rightful prominence in general social science studies. This paper will introduce Chinese social sciences, discussing their institutions, resources and methodology, and explain why we are keen to promote the globalisation of Chinese social sciences. It will then demonstrate a case of literature search on the keywords ‘Chinese civilisation’ and ‘comparison’, comparing the CNKI database and some digital libraries in the West.
