In the field of American history research in China, from the third issue of American Studies (1992), where Shen Zongmei challenged American mainstream culture (in the article, Shen translated multiculturalism as "cultural multiculturalism") to the national social science fund project "American Multiculturalism Research" 200 1, domestic academic circles also discussed the related issues of multiculturalism. In addition to the above papers, the cultural part of the book Contemporary American Culture and Society (China Social Sciences Press, 2000, 1 1 edition) edited by Zhu Shida is also one of the important achievements. Academic circles have reached some understandings, but there are still many unsolved theoretical gaps.
