Bifan Zhao, Ph.D. student fellow at the Law and Technology Centre, The University of Hong Kong, received the First Prize for excellent papers in the seminar “The Integration of Socialist Core Values into the Rule of Law” hosted at East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL) on 30 November 2024.

Bifan used natural language processing techniques to count the number of phrases containing “Socialist Core Values” and constructed a relevant semantic network to disclose the specific functions and potential problems of invoking Socialist Core Values in legal reasoning.

The seminar was jointly guided by the Publicity and Education Bureau of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Legislative Planning Office for the Legislative Affairs Commission of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee. The awarded articles were selected from nearly 200 submitted articles after two rounds of anonymous reviews.

Congratulations Bifan!
