Keynote speech title: China’s Fragile Political Legitimacy Speaker: Andrew Nathan, Columbia University
The Xi Jinping regime paradoxically acts as though it is afraid of its own public, yet survey research shows high levels of mass support for the regime. Despite the appearance of rock-solid legitimacy, the regime’s fear of the public is realistic for two reasons. First, as the regime promotes economic and social development in order to maintain performance legitimacy, it undermines the deferential and collectivist values that support its cultural legitimacy. Second, public support for the Chinese regime is more superficial than support in democratic political systems in Asia. Especially among younger, urbanized, educated citizens, acquiescence can quickly change to opposition. This has happened in the past and is likely to happen again on an even larger scale.
