  • Xi Is Facing Enormous Opposition“
    stars insights: 13 March 2020 „Xi Is Facing Enormous Opposition“ Over the course of the past 40 years, as China has transformed itself from a poor country into a major player on the global stage, the West has grown increasingly wary of China’s rise and its government’s assertive behaviour. What are the drivers behind these developments? And is China a threat for the existing rules-based international order? At a stars Switzerland alumni chapter meeting, China expert Prof. Dr. HUANG Jing shared his unique view of China’s internal politics and what it means for Europe and the world. Michael SETTELEN: The rise of China has led to an increasingly wary West. Is China a threat? HUANG Jing: China is a threat if you look at the country from the perspective of rivals, especially in terms of Western values or the political system. The fundamental difference is that the Washington Consensus – the neoliberal policies propagated by the West – upholds that, first, the individual’s right is more important than the collective good, and the well-being of the individual determines the well-being of society; second, the development is driven by a capitalist market economy in a – third – liberal democratic system. The Beijing Consensus – or China’s model – on the other hand believes that, first, the collective good, i.e. national interests, trumps everything. By this logic, individual rights can be sacrificed if necessary. Second, the development is driven by the “socialist market economy”. Some call it state capitalism. Third, the system is a socialist system under one- party rule.

  • The 16Th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party: Formal Institutions and Factional Groups ZHIYUE BO*
    Journal of Contemporary China (2004), 13(39), May, 223–256 The 16th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party: formal institutions and factional groups ZHIYUE BO* What was the political landscape of China as a result of the 16th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)? The answer is two-fold. In terms of formal institutions, provincial units emerged as the most powerful institution in Chinese politics. Their power index, as measured by the representation in the Central Committee, was the highest by a large margin. Although their combined power index ranked second, central institutions were fragmented between central party and central government institutions. The military ranked third. Corporate leaders began to assume independent identities in Chinese politics, but their power was still negligible at this stage. In terms of informal factional groups, the Chinese Communist Youth League (CCYL) Group was the most powerful by a large margin. The Qinghua Clique ranked second. The Shanghai Gang and the Princelings were third and fourth, respectively. The same ranking order also holds in group cohesion indexes. The CCYL Group stood out as the most cohesive because its group cohesion index for inner circle members alone was much larger than those of the other three factional groups combined. The Qinghua Clique came second, and the Shanghai Gang third. The Princelings was hardly a factional group because its group cohesion index was extremely low. These factional groups, nevertheless, were not mutually exclusive. There were significant overlaps among them, especially between the Qinghua Clique and the Shanghai Gang, between the Princelings and the Qinghua Clique, and between the CCYL Group and the Qinghua Clique.

  • Chinese Influence Activities in Select Countries
    APPENDIX 2 Chinese Influence Activities in Select Countries This report has focused on the range of challenges the United States faces in an era of accelerating Chinese influence activities on multiple fronts. But this issue is hardly unique to the United States— indeed, China’s influence activities now occur all around the world. In some instances, notably Australia, these activities appear to have proceeded much further than they have so far in the United States. In general, they seem more advanced in Asia and Eu rope, but t here is also evidence of such activities in Africa and Latin Amer i ca as well. In order to explore some of the wider patterns that have emerged, this appendix offers brief summaries of the effects of such activities in eight countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, New Zea- land, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. In each of t hese settings, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has refined its efforts through trial and error in order to exploit a critical asymmetry: China’s Communist party- state has established barriers to external po liti cal influence at home while, at the same time, seizing upon the openness of demo cratic sys- tems overseas. China seeks to make itself more palatable to demo cratic socie ties by using many of the customary vehicles of soft power— such as state- funded This is an uncorrected proof.

  • China (Includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau) 2014 Human Rights Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2014 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount authority. CCP members hold almost all top government and security apparatus positions. Ultimate authority rests with the 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) of the CCP and its seven- member Standing Committee. China completed its once-in-a-decade leadership transition in March 2013, and Xi Jinping held the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Civilian authorities maintained control of the military and internal security forces. Repression and coercion were routine, particularly against organizations and individuals involved in civil and political rights advocacy and public interest issues, ethnic minorities, and law firms that took on sensitive cases. Officials continued to employ harassment, intimidation, and prosecution of family members and associates to retaliate against rights advocates and defenders. Individuals and groups regarded as politically sensitive by authorities continued to face tight restrictions on their freedom to assemble, practice religion, and travel. Authorities resorted to extralegal measures such as enforced disappearance and strict house arrest, including house arrest of family members, to prevent public expression of independent opinions. Authorities continued to censor and tightly control public discourse on the internet. Public-interest law firms continued to face harassment, disbarment of legal staff, and closure. There was severe official repression of the freedoms of speech, religion, association, and assembly of Uighurs in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) and of Tibetans in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and other Tibetan areas.

  • Xi Jinping's Inner Circle (Part 1: the Shaanxi Gang)
    Xi Jinping’s Inner Circle (Part 1: The Shaanxi Gang) Cheng Li Like successful politicians elsewhere, President Xi Jinping assumed China’s top leadership role with the support of an inner circle. This group has been crucial to Xi’s efforts to consolidate power during his first year in office. Xi’s inner circle of confidants has smoothed the way for him to undertake a bold anti-corruption campaign, manage the Bo Xilai trial, and begin the process of crafting ambitious economic reforms. This series examines various power bases that make up Xi’s inner circle—individuals who serve as his hands, ears, mouth, and brain. This first article focuses on native-place associations, namely the so-called Shaanxi Gang, which includes the “Iron Triangle” grouping in the Politburo Standing Committee. Such discussion can help reveal the future trajectory of politics and policy-making during the Xi administration. The analysis of the positioning and promotion of some of Xi’s longtime friends provides an invaluable assessment of both Xi’s current power and the potential for effective policy implementation. Much of the current discussion about the consolidation of Xi Jinping’s power centers on the top leadership positions that he holds concurrently.1 Xi not only took control of all the supreme institutions in the party, state, and military during the latest political succession, but he also now chairs the newly established National Security Committee and the Central Leading Group on Comprehensive Deepening of Economic Reform—two crucial decision-making bodies in Zhongnanhai. There is now widespread recognition that the party leadership enthusiastically endorsed Xi’s comprehensive market reform agenda at the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee held in November 2013.2 These big, bold, and broad policy initiatives ostensibly reflect Xi’s growing power and influence.3 Less noticed, but equally important, is Xi’s substantial reliance on an inner circle of confidants, especially his quick moves to promote longtime associates to key leadership positions.
