In contrast to existing studies that regard the CCYL either as a corporatist institution undertaking the political socialization of Chinese youths or as the foundation of a CCYL faction that plays a significant role within China’s leadership politics, this thesis highlights the multi- faceted and evolving relationship between the CCYL and the CCP in the development of the Chinese Communist movement. This thesis argues that despite its continued complexity the relationship between the CCYL and the CCP across nearly a century can nevertheless be characterized in broad terms as a change from “organizational rival” to “leadership incubator”. In the early period of the Communist movement, the CCYL functioned as a de facto second communist party which at times threatened to overtake the CCP as the major Communist organization in China. After the reconstruction under Mao Zedong in 1936, it was subordinated to the CCP’s needs and started to serve as a Party-led mass organization to politically socialize Chinese youths. And in the Deng Xiaoping and Post-Deng periods, it has played an important role as one of the institutional arrangements for developing leadership candidates for the CCP. By tracing the organizational development of the CCYL to uncover its evolving and complicated relationship with the CCP, this project provides a more complete picture of the pathway through which the contemporary relationship has emerged. On a broader level, therefore, it offers the CCYL as an example to reveal the limitations of the Factionalist and Corporatist approaches to understand China’s contemporary leadership politics. In addition, it provides new understandings and materials for the future study of the CCP’s leadership development. VI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to the many institutions and people who have assisted me to complete this PhD thesis over the past four years. This experience has been one of my best periods of my life, and one I will treasure forever. First of all, I would like to express my gratefulness to China Scholarship Council of the People’s Republic of China and the University of the New South Wales. Without my country’s financial support and the university’s tuition fee scholarship, an ordinary student, like me, could never afford this opportunity to study. As one of the examples of Sino-Australia educational cooperation, I hope both my study and my experience will contribute to the mutual good of both nations. Secondly, I give my most sincere thanks and best wishes to my supervisors, Prof. David Lovell and Dr. Jian Zhang, for their brilliant guidance and enthusiastic work attitude. The influence of my supervisors on me is not only confined to scholarship, but extends also to my attitude to life. They are respectful scholars who have taught me how to understand the thinking of scholars. In my future career, I will use them as role models to spur my actions. Thirdly, I express my gratitude to Prof. Wu Qing, Director of the Research Institution of the CCYL, and Prof. Tong Jing in Central School of the CCYL who provided me a valuable fieldwork opportunity in the Central Committee of the CCYL. Interviewees in Beijing, Guangzhou and Canberra also provided me with valuable information required to test my arguments. Fourthly, I give my thanks to the Counsellor and my colleagues in the Education Office of the Chinese Embassy in Australia. With your support and teachings, I got a valuable opportunity to contribute to the educational cooperation between China and Australia. This working experience will be one of my most significant memories. Finally I dedicate this thesis to my beloved family and friends. This PhD journey was never one man fighting alone. It would not have been completed without your love, encouragement, and understanding. I will love you all for the rest of my life.

    The dimming of a Chinese strongman’s aura 01 June, 2020 | GS-II | International Relations | GS PAPER 2 | INTERNATIONAL ISSUES | CHINA | CHINA OBOR | INDIA AND CHINA The dimming of a Chinese strongman’s aura By, Sujan R. Chinoy, a China specialist and former Ambassador, is currently the Director General of the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. The views expressed are personal Introduction # To the outside world, China seeks to project a picture of monolithic unity behind President Xi Jinping’s highly centralised leadership. However, media tropes point to a greater scrutiny of his role and leadership style, especially during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan. # Reports have surfaced alleging delays in reporting facts, conflicting instructions and tight censorship. # Observers have drawn parallels between Mr. Xi and his powerful predecessors, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, perhaps a tad unfairly to both the iconic architects of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). A timeline of change Mao # Mao presided over the founding of the PRC in 1949. # He consolidated his leadership during the Long March in the mid-1930s. Despite his many detractors, he remained the undisputed leader of China until his death on September 9, 1976 even if, towards the end, it was the Gang of Four, led by his wife Jiang Qing, which had usurped power in his name. # Mao banished his adversaries frequently, whether it was Liu Shaoqi, Lin Biao, or even Deng Xiaoping. # Mao’s reign after the founding of the PRC lasted 27 years. By comparison, the 67-year-old Xi Jinping has been at the helm for just under eight years.

  • China's Fear of Contagion
    China’s Fear of Contagion China’s Fear of M.E. Sarotte Contagion Tiananmen Square and the Power of the European Example For the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), erasing the memory of the June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre remains a full-time job. The party aggressively monitors and restricts media and internet commentary about the event. As Sinologist Jean-Philippe Béja has put it, during the last two decades it has not been possible “even so much as to mention the conjoined Chinese characters for 6 and 4” in web searches, so dissident postings refer instead to the imagi- nary date of May 35.1 Party censors make it “inconceivable for scholars to ac- cess Chinese archival sources” on Tiananmen, according to historian Chen Jian, and do not permit schoolchildren to study the topic; 1989 remains a “‘for- bidden zone’ in the press, scholarship, and classroom teaching.”2 The party still detains some of those who took part in the protest and does not allow oth- ers to leave the country.3 And every June 4, the CCP seeks to prevent any form of remembrance with detentions and a show of force by the pervasive Chinese security apparatus. The result, according to expert Perry Link, is that in to- M.E.

Original Language: Chinese Contents: English Translation One Late in 1949, soon after the establishment of New China, Chairman Ho Chi Minh and the Central Committee of the Indochinese Communist Party (ICP) wrote to Chairman Mao and the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), asking for Chinese assistance. In January 1950, Ho made a secret visit to Beijing to request Chinaʼs assistance in Vietnamʼs struggle against France. Following Hoʼs visit, the CCP Central Committee made the decision, authorized by Chairman Mao, to send me on a secret mission to Vietnam. I was formally appointed as the Liaison Representative of the CCP Central Committee to the ICP Central Committee. Comrade [Liu] Shaoqi personally composed a letter of introduction, which stated: ʻI hereby recommend to your office Comrade Luo Guibo, who has been a provincial Party secretary and commissar, as the Liaison Representative of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.
