(1) This paper 1s to aim at presenting data on value changes in East Asia, by reference to Inglehart index. (2) Value changes in Japan and South Korea are found to be those from industrial value to post-industrial value, as Inglehart suggested. (3) However, Inglehart index does not work well in China, where a "post-socialism revolution" is taking place. According to the survey data collected in 1990, right after the Tia-men incident, the first component of value data includes political as well as economical sub-dimensions. Though the biggest group of respondents which shares the same value is the group which defends the status quo, the group which is critical of the present political and economical systems is definitely existent. (4) The data collected in 1993 shows that the two major dimensions of political and economical values are found to be "authoritarian vs. antiauthoritarian" and "market-economy oriented vs. planning economy oriented". The group which has little sympathy with the authoritarian government and is welcome market-economy is still small in size. They tend to be younger and more educated. (5) As time-series data on value change in China are accumulated, we will be able to tell more about its nature and direction.
