Abstract: Trust in expertise and experts is an important cornerstone of modern society, and it has great significance for public life, development of science and industry and national governance. However, there is a crisis of trust in expertise and experts in current China, and it will not only shake the foundation of social trust, but also threaten healthy developments of the society. Survey results show that experts associated with interests, different risk concepts between scientific experts and ordinary citizens and a poor scientific communication are main factors causing the crisis of trust in expertise and expert in China. Therefor, trust in expertise and experts must be reshaped to guard against anti-intellectualism and populism kidnapping society and experts in current China. To this end, related interests of experts should be cut off to make experts value-neutral, public understanding of science and public participation in science should be promoted to enhance the communication between scientific experts and ordinary citizens, governance of science communication media should be strengthened to improve the results of science communication.
