Its Formation and Maintenance Grace Lauren Chao Elite Status in the People’s Republic of China: Its formation and maintenance Grace Lauren Chao Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 @2013 Grace L. Chao All rights reserved ABSTRACT Elite Status in the People’s Republic of China: Its Formation and Maintenance Grace L. Chao The goal of this dissertation is to determine how elite status in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is formed, maintained, and perpetuated. The role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is studied to see how the CCP confirms elite status. The political, military, and commercial elites form the membership of the national leadership bodies of the CCP and the PRC government, and as such, they hold the most influence. The political elites hold the most status and prestige. Other elites exist, namely in the form of scholarly, artistic, and born elites. It is important to realize the role of the CCP and PRC government in confirming PRC elite status. Political, commercial, and military elites claim elite status by their position in the CCP and government hierarchy. Born elites gain their status from being related via blood or marriage to political, commercial, or military elites. Artistic and scholarly elites derive their status from how closely they are aligned to the CCP and government.

First and foremost, I want to thank my Mom, Ruth MuLan Chu Chao. She showed me how to be a mom and a graduate student; she encouraged me to pursue my dream of obtaining a Ph.D. I would love to thank my wonderful husband, Gordon A. Hartogensis. His love, dedication, patience, and support provided me with the time, funds, and energy to live my dream of becoming a Ph.D. Words can not describe how important he is to me. Of course, I want to thank the support of my father, Dr. James S.C. Chao, and sister, Angela A. Chao, whose love, dedication, support, and feedback provided me with the connections and insight that were necessary to begin and to complete this research. To my academic mentor, Prof. Charles C. Harrington, without his advice, patience, unwavering support, counsel, and guidance, I would not be writing this today. Prof. Harrington was the best mentor a student could ask for; I feel very fortunate to have worked with him. I want to thank Prof. George Bond whose boundless encouragement kept me going. I would also like to thank Dr. Carmen Guanipa whose advice started me on this path in 2001. Last but not least, I thank my two daughters for being so patient and sharing me with the Ph.D. I hope to make you as proud of me as I am of you two. I hope I inspire you as my mom continues to inspire me. v Dedicated to my mother: Ruth Mu-lan Chu Chao, MA Her life inspires me every day. To my daughters: Alexia S. & Penelope B. Hartogensis With the hope that I inspire them like my mother inspires me. vi 1 INTRODUCTION Background It is August 2008; the Beijing Olympics are about to begin. I am in the company of friends who have been invited to attend as official guests of the government. In my chauffeur driven car, I am bombarded with images of modern China. The highway is wide and freshly paved. There are no bicycles, the ubiquitous mode of transportation in the 1980s-90s. The roads are filled with cars, foreign and new. The sky is clear and blue. I then notice the huge billboards surrounding the highway sporting the official Olympic slogan, One World, One Dream. Images of the red-figured Olympic logo and multi-colored Olympic rings dominate the scenery as I travel to my hotel from the airport. I am surprised by how quickly and smoothly our car is moving since Beijing traffic is notoriously cumbersome. Traveling twenty miles can take an hour by car. I realize our car has been driving in a specially marked lane. For now, we are the only car in this lane. I ask my driver about this special lane; he replies that this is a special, designated lane for Olympic officials and other assorted VIP’s. He points to his car’s rear view mirror and directs my attention to the placard hanging from it. It gives the driver the right to drive in these specially marked lanes that are congestion free. Fortunately, through the access provided by my father’s business connections and my sibling’s diplomatic role, I find myself in this privileged position. This is the face of modern China, where socialism with Chinese characteristics has created a ruling stratum of elites. My research will illuminate who the PRC (People’s Republic of China) elites are and how their elite status is formed and maintained. I am especially interested in the role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the configuration of PRC elites. 2 When Laura Nader (1969) wrote “Studying Up” she implored the academic community to study those who held power: Studying “up” as well as “down” would lead us to ask many “common sense” questions in reverse. Instead of asking why some people are poor, we would ask why other people are so affluent?...How has it come to be, we might ask, that anthropologists are more interested in why peasants don’t change than why the auto industry doesn’t innovate, or why the Pentagon or universities cannot be more organizationally creative? (p. 289) Charlotte A. Davies (2002) concurred and cited Nader’s research in this following excerpt: The earliest calls for a refocusing of the subjects of ethnographic study were concerned to turn the enquiry on to the powerful, to study up, and they suggested that such a shift in attention would have fundamental consequences for theoretical development in the field. (p.36) I have been similarly inspired to conduct “studying up” research by the works and the words of both Nader and Davies. I intend to take the research further by not just “studying up”

    The Guangzhou-Hongkong Strike, 1925-1926 Hongkong Workers in an Anti-Imperialist Movement Robert JamesHorrocks Submitted in accordancewith the requirementsfor the degreeof PhD The University of Leeds Departmentof East Asian Studies October 1994 The candidateconfirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where referencehas been made to the work of others. 11 Abstract In this thesis, I study the Guangzhou-Hongkong strike of 1925-1926. My analysis differs from past studies' suggestions that the strike was a libertarian eruption of mass protest against British imperialism and the Hongkong Government, which, according to these studies, exploited and oppressed Chinese in Guangdong and Hongkong. I argue that a political party, the CCP, led, organised, and nurtured the strike. It centralised political power in its hands and tried to impose its revolutionary visions on those under its control. First, I describe how foreign trade enriched many people outside the state. I go on to describe how Chinese-run institutions governed Hongkong's increasingly settled non-elite Chinese population. I reject ideas that Hongkong's mixed-class unions exploited workers and suggest that revolutionaries failed to transform Hongkong society either before or during the strike. My thesis shows that the strike bureaucracy was an authoritarian power structure; the strike's unprecedented political demands reflected the CCP's revolutionary political platform, which was sometimes incompatible with the interests of Hongkong's unions. I suggestthat the revolutionary elite's goals were not identical to those of the unions it claimed to represent: Hongkong unions preserved their autonomy in the face of revolutionaries' attempts to control Hongkong workers.

  • Knowledge Control and Social Contestation in China's
    Science in Movements This book analyzes and compares the origins, evolutionary patterns and consequences of different science and technology controversies in China, including hydropower resistance, disputes surrounding genetically modified organisms and the nuclear power debate. The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies, and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly, and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different con- troversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes and activists’ strategies have jointly triggered, nur- tured and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China’ssocialtransformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world. The book will be of value to academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China’s science controversies and social movements.

  • Introduction This Statement Is Submitted to the U.S.-China
    USCC Hearing China’s Military Transition February 7, 2013 Roy Kamphausen Senior Advisor, The National Bureau of Asian Research Introduction This statement is submitted to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission to address issues related to the transition to the new top military leadership in China. The statement addresses the composition of the new Central Military Commission, important factors in the selection of the leaders, and highlights salient elements in the backgrounds of specific leaders. The statement also addresses important factors of civil-military relations, including the relationship of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to China’s top political leadership, potential reform of the military-region structure of the PLA, and the likely competition for budget resources. Composition of the China’s New Central Military Commission As expected, new Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping was appointed in November 2012 as the Central Military Commission (CMC) chairman. Additionally, army general Fan Changlong and air force general Xu Qiliang were promoted to positions as vice chairmen of the CMC—Fan from Jinan Military Region commander and Xu from PLA Air Force commander. Other members of the new CMC include General Chang Wanquan, who will become the next Minister of National Defense when that position is confirmed in early spring 2013; General Fang Fenghui, chief of the General Staff Department (GSD), who previously had been Beijing Military Region commander since 2007; General Zhang Yang, director of
