Professor Chen Baosheng has long been engaged in research on public governance and power theory, combining solid theoretical foundations with rich empirical research experience. Professor Zhong Yumin briefly introduced Professor Chen's academic background and research areas, and expressed warm welcome and sincere gratitude for his visit.

Professor Chen began with the topic of technological governance, revealing the inherent limitations of traditional power theories and proposing the concept of technological rights as an analytical perspective to interpret the generative logic of public power. By explicating the meaning and classification of technology, he deeply analyzed the core sources of public power in the new era, emphasizing the constraining role of humanistic values and institutional norms on technological development. Finally, drawing on China's local governance practices, Professor Chen explored feasible paths for constructing China's autonomous knowledge system in political science.

During the interactive session, students eagerly raised questions, and Professor Chen provided detailed responses to each one. In his closing remarks, Professor Zhong Yumin highly commended the lecture. He noted that Professor Chen's reconstruction of the analytical framework of public power through the lens of technological rights closely engaged with the major contemporary proposition of constructing China's autonomous knowledge system in political science, combining frontier theoretical vision with concern for local realities. The lecture offered a novel perspective and substantive content, providing valuable research perspectives and analytical approaches for academic research in public administration and political science within the School. The lecture concluded successfully amidst enthusiastic applause.
