This paper uses Bibliometrics, induction and deduction methods to sort out and summarize the main progress and hot topics of Chinese internet finance risk research in the past 22 years, and looks into the future research trends, aiming to promote the sustainable and high-quality development of Chinese internet finance. The results show that, firstly, in the past 22 years, the research on Internet financial risks in China is affected by network information technology, financial market environment and economic policy orientation, and can be divided into three stages: initial stage, development stage and deepening stage. Secondly, the research content mainly focuses on the types and characteristics, measurement and evaluation, causes and manifestations, prevention mechanism and supervision path of Internet financial risks. Thirdly, the research methods have been upgraded from qualitative to quantitative, and the research perspective has changed from macro market to micro consumers. Moreover, the research perspective and dimension are relatively single, which is in urgent need of diversification. In the future, research on internet financial risks should be strengthened in the areas of multi-method and multi-discipline integration, multi-dimensional difference and joint research, we will make more efforts to the development of regulatory technology and the construction of a multi-dimensional measurement index system, and coupling between internet financial risks and green financial challenges to promote a sustainable high-quality development of internet finance in China.
