  • China Politics Update – July 2014
    China Politics Update – July 2014 Premier Li Keqiang paid his first official visit as Premier to London, 16-19 June for the annual UK-China Summit. Li was received by the Queen and held wide ranging talks with Prime Minister David Cameron covering bilateral, prosperity and global issues. They discussed improvement to UK visa services. There was a discussion of economic cooperation covering Chinese investment in UK infrastructure; a clearing bank in London for the RMB; and the concept of EU/China FTA. On foreign policy they discussed Iraq, Iran and Ukraine and regional security in Asia Pacific. They also covered climate change, cyber issues and Hong Kong. A wide range of agreements were signed during the summit from a £12Bn LNG deal between CNOOC and BP to a £400m joint venture on solar energy. The total commercial value was £14Bn. During his speech at Chatham House, Li said “China will work more closely with the UK in infrastructure, manufacturing, urbanization and other areas to increase two-way trade and investment.” In a joint conference, the Prime Minister acknowledged the commitment with China to ensure the growing economic and political ties of the two countries also contribute to much stronger links between the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Central Leading Group on Financial and Economic Affairs, urging greater efforts to improve energy technology. Analysts said Xi’s leading role in the body implies he has further consolidated his powers. In recent years the key policy coordinating body has been run by the Premier not Party Secretary.

  • Chinese Politics in the Xi Jingping Era: Reassessing Collective Leadership
    CHAPTER 1 Governance Collective Leadership Revisited Th ings don’t have to be or look identical in order to be balanced or equal. ⃺ڄ Maya Lin — his book examines how the structure and dynamics of the leadership of Tthe Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have evolved in response to the chal- lenges the party has confronted since the late 1990s. Th is study pays special attention to the issue of leadership se lection and composition, which is a per- petual concern in Chinese politics. Using both quantitative and qualitative analyses, this volume assesses the changing nature of elite recruitment, the generational attributes of the leadership, the checks and balances between competing po liti cal co ali tions or factions, the behavioral patterns and insti- tutional constraints of heavyweight politicians in the collective leadership, and the interplay between elite politics and broad changes in Chinese society. Th is study also links new trends in elite politics to emerging currents within the Chinese intellectual discourse on the tension between strongman politics and collective leadership and its implications for po liti cal reforms. A systematic analy sis of these developments— and some seeming contradictions— will help shed valuable light on how the world’s most populous country will be governed in the remaining years of the Xi Jinping era and beyond. Th is study argues that the survival of the CCP regime in the wake of major po liti cal crises such as the Bo Xilai episode and rampant offi cial cor- ruption is not due to “authoritarian resilience”— the capacity of the Chinese communist system to resist po liti cal and institutional changes—as some foreign China analysts have theorized.

  • Chapter 3 China: Xi Jinping's Administration— Proactive Policies
    Chapter 3 China: Xi Jinping’s Administration— Proactive Policies at Home and Abroad or China, 2014 was a year when initiatives of the Xi Jinping administration Fcame to the forefront. In domestic politics, it was a year of important changes, as the anti-corruption campaign continued to make itself felt, resulting, for example, in Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the Politburo Standing Committee, and Xu Caihou, former vice chairman of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Military Commission (CMC), being expelled from the party. Xi Jinping, who was already president as well as general secretary of the party, took the position of chairman of the new National Security Commission and created a number of small leading groups, part of his efforts to strengthen his structural authority. Meanwhile elements of instability grew as well, such as the number of bombings that took place in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and the CPC is cracking down vigorously. President Xi has assertively engaged in foreign policy, leading at times to strong unilateral positions such as China’s location of oil drilling equipment in the South China Sea. China is seeking to form “a new type of major-power relations” with the United States, but China’s actions in the South China Sea and the confrontation over cyber spying make it unclear whether China will be able to achieve the kind of US-China relations it desires. President Xi is also engaging in periphery diplomacy, seeking to ensure China’s peaceful development by reinforcing its economic relations with its neighbors and calling for an Asian New Security Concept, while strengthening its criticism of the system of alliances centered on the United States.

  • He Jiahong Corruption Assessment
    He Jiahong Corruption Assessment Assessment and Analysis of Corruption in China He Jiahong (Published in China Legal Science, No. 5, Vol.3, September 2015) Abstract Criminal corruption refers to instances in which employees of the government, private companies or other work units take advantage of their position to embezzle funds or accept bribes. The state of criminal corruption can be assessed both objectively and subjectively; both methods exhibit insufficient accuracy in some respects. Presently, criminal corruption is a severe problem in China,1 having become both systemic and socially ingrained. Causes of corruption can be traced back to human nature and instincts, social practices, and the general operation of the systems in question. A clear understanding of these causes can provide us with a method for developing countermeasures. Keywords: Corruption, crime, assessment, cause China’s current government has already sounded the alarm regarding the problem of corruption, and fighting it has become the ruling party’s most serious challenge. The situation is indeed as President Xi Jinping described in his 17 November 2012 address before the first collective study session of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC): HE Jiahong, SJD (1993, Northwestern University, USA), Professor of Law, Director of the Centre for Common Law and Deputy Director of the Research Center for Criminal Law, the Law School of Renmin University of China. The author hereby expresses his heartfelt thanks to Mr. Jesse Field, Ms. Kelly Falconer, and Mr. Canaan Morse who helped with the writing in English. 1 Except when specifically noted, “China” in this article refers to mainland China.

  • China's Political Ecology and the Fight Against Corruption
    China’s Political Ecology and the Fight against Corruption Joseph Fewsmith Since the 18th Party Congress convened in November 2012, China has undertaken a wide-ranging campaign against corruption. The campaign has gone on longer, cut deeper, and affected more people than anyone might have imagined two years ago. The course of the campaign has exposed in considerable depth many of the ills of political life in China. Although it seems intended to break up many of the “small circles” that pervade China’s political life, there is no question that the campaign has focused particular attention on the networks around Zhou Yongkang, the former head of China’s security forces, and Ling Jihua, the former head of the General Office. China’s leadership has promised the campaign will continue, so there are likely to be more surprises; perhaps one or more new “tigers” will be exposed. China’s fight against corruption really began with the conviction of Bo Xilai (薄熙来), the former party secretary of Chongqing municipality and an apparent contender for a seat on the party’s powerful Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC). But since Bo’s case was concluded prior to the 18th Party Congress, he is not mentioned in the running tab the People’s Daily website has maintained of ministerial-level cadres who have been taken in for investigation, and he is rarely mentioned in media articles discussing corruption. Perhaps the relative silence surrounding the Bo Xilai case since the 18th Party Congress is intended to minimize the political nature of the current campaign, though the recent arrest of Zhou Yongkang (周永康), the retired former head of the security apparatus, inevitably raises questions about Bo and politics in general.

  • 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.
