This study describes the dynamic pattern and the features (i.e., what, who, and where) of public events happened in China during the last two years. The data were extracted from two independent databases of Chinese public event. By analyzing the 3,359 cases using descriptive statistics and text mining techniques, this study found that the event type, the identity of involved social groups/individuals, and the geographical location of public events are severely unequally distributed. In specific, the event type that most frequently happened is the events regarding “institutionalization crisis and social equality”; the location where public events often occurred concentrate on developed regions, such as the Southeast Coast; and the identities of deeply involved social groups/individuals include government departments and officers, public security organs, procuratorial organs, people's courts, and ordinary people. In addition, it is found that the frequency of different types of public events competed with each other during the past two years as evidenced by the negative correlation coefficients of event frequency across event types.
