Abstract

In a bid to understand Chinese social media tendency on the new “Three-Child Policy”, this paper analyzes netizens sentiment on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo based on the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling. Specifically, comments from netizens crawling on Weibo were pre-processed so that 2624 valid comments from May 30, 2022 to June 15, 2022, were hereby obtained, sentiment analysis was thus completed by using the LDA. Further analysis showed a mostly negative and neutral sentiment towards the policy among netizens, largely because of the rising cost of child rearing and poor employment security for women.
