This study aims to shed light on topics related to sentiment analysis in the Chinese language, due to the scarcity of studies in this area and its growing importance. We used a systematic, bibliometric approach for its effectiveness in analyzing the current state of sentiment analysis research in Chinese. The study identifies three main stages based on the analysis of previous research in this field. In the first stage, we examine the challenges faced by researchers in analyzing sentiment in Chinese, including the lack of access to a comprehensive lexicon. In the second stage, we discuss the motives underlying the growing importance and potential impact of sentiment analysis in Chinese. Finally, we make recommendations to guide future research in this field to improve the accuracy and reliability of sentiment analysis tools for Chinese.
