BRIEFS 42 Regional Briefs 44 International Briefs 46 Events Calendar EDITORIAL Fear and Loathing NVESTORS who’ve bought heavily into the Macau boom story can’t be too happy right now with the extent of our collective ignorance about China and its complexities. About US$75 billion of share value has gone up in smoke in the space of a year, and it could get worse, as it appears that what President and Communist Party General Secretary Xi IJinping has unleashed with his anti-corruption campaign is of a dimension far beyond what its supporters from the outside thought they were cheering on. Operators and analysts blame Mr Xi’s crackdown for the dramatic decline in high-roller play that plunged Macau into negative revenue territory in 2014 for the first time in the post- monopoly era and sent the Hong Kong-listed shares of the six casino concessions into a freefall from which they’ve yet to recover. Speaking of this, Standard Chartered analyst Philip Tulk was moved recently to declare: “The VIP heyday is over.” Publisher If he’s right, then investors must be wondering how it went south so quickly. Macau gaming Kareem Jalal as a stock market play is not even a decade old. The heyday had hardly begun. And if he’s right, and he’s far from the only one who believes the market has hit a wall, then the bigger question Director is: How much don’t we know about China still? João Costeira Varela In official media on the mainland they talk about the “Shanxi Gang,” the “Yunnan Fiefdom,” the “Jiangxi Gang” and in Guangdong of the “Wan Qingliang Clique”—collective tarrings Editor James Rutherford reminiscent of the excesses of the Cultural Revolution—and these appear to be suggestive also of a massive leakage of power over the years into the clutches of party satraps at the provincial Editor At Large and municipal levels. Mr Xi looks determined to break the back of this latter-day warlord- Muhammad Cohen ism, and revitalizing the party as moral standard-bearer for the nation in the best (or worst) Maoist tradition appears to be integral to the campaign. Reports in Western media have it that Business Development Manager Danilo Madeira academics, journalists, artists and writers are under greater pressure to toe the line than they have been in years. Contributors In an interview with NBC News, James McGregor, former head of the American Chamber of Paul Doocey, John Grochowski, James Hodl, Commerce in China, said of Mr Xi, “He’s using the tools of Mao to become a Deng Xiaoping Matt Pollins, I. Nelson Rose 2.0. He’s taking on a gangster-type system, and to do that you’ve got to use the tools at your Graphic Designer disposal. He’s trying to change behavior. He sees this as a survival thing for the party.” Rui Gomes That’s one view. Long-time China-watcher Anne Stevenson-Yang, a director of J Capital Research, which advises foreign investors, sees the crackdown differently, describing it for Photography Barron’s as an “an old-style party purge reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s with quota-driven Ike, Gary Wong, James Leong, arrests, summary trials, mysterious disappearances and suicides”. Wong Kei Cheong As for the tools, the most feared among party members is the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Bo Xilai was merely the first to lay his head beneath its ax.

  • 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.
