  • How China's Leaders Think: the Inside Story of China's Past, Current
    bindex.indd 540 3/14/11 3:26:49 PM China’s development, at least in part, is driven by patriotism and pride. The Chinese people have made great contributions to world civilization. Our commitment and determination is rooted in our historic and national pride. It’s fair to say that we have achieved some successes, [nevertheless] we should have a cautious appraisal of our accomplishments. We should never overestimate our accomplish- ments or indulge ourselves in our achievements. We need to assess ourselves objectively. [and aspire to] our next higher goal. [which is] a persistent and unremitting process. Xi Jinping Politburo Standing Committee member In the face of complex and ever-changing international and domes- tic environments, the Chinese Government promptly and decisively adjusted our macroeconomic policies and launched a comprehensive stimulus package to ensure stable and rapid economic growth. We increased government spending and public investments and imple- mented structural tax reductions. Balancing short-term and long- term strategic perspectives, we are promoting industrial restructuring and technological innovation, and using principles of reform to solve problems of development. Li Keqiang Politburo Standing Committee member I am now serving my second term in the Politburo. President Hu Jintao’s character is modest and low profile. we all have the high- est respect and admiration for him—for his leadership, perspicacity and moral convictions. Under his leadership, complex problems can all get resolved. It takes vision to avoid major conflicts in soci- ety. Income disparities, unemployment, bureaucracy and corruption could cause instability. This is the Party’s most severe test.

  • The Dual Impact of Social Media Under Networked Authoritarianism: Social Media Use, Civic Attitudes, and System Support in China
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 5143–5163 1932–8036/20160005 The Dual Impact of Social Media Under Networked Authoritarianism: Social Media Use, Civic Attitudes, and System Support in China XUEQING LI FRANCIS L. F. LEE The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China YING LI Shenzhen University, China Although beliefs in the impact of the Internet on democratization did not quickly materialize, recent research on the linkage between social media use and political engagement has reignited optimism about the democratic influence of new media technologies. At the same time, scholars have noted the capability of authoritarian states to exercise effective control of the Internet and manipulate the online public opinion environment. This study argues that social media can promote elements of a civic culture and system support simultaneously where the state practices networked authoritarianism. Analysis of a survey of university students in Guangzhou, China, shows that public affairs communication via social media relates positively and significantly to five elements of a civic culture: political knowledge, social trust, sense of civic duty, internal efficacy, and collective efficacy. Meanwhile, social media–based public affairs communication does not undermine system support; it even has a strong relationship with optimism about the Chinese government. Keywords: civic culture, system support, social media, networked authoritarianism, China Since the Internet’s popularization, predictions have been made about the capability

  • Preparing for the 18Th Party Congress: Procedures and Mechanisms
    Preparing For the 18th Party Congress: Procedures and Mechanisms Cheng Li By now just about every China observer knows that the Chinese leadership will undergo a major generational change at the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in the fall of 2012. Knowledge of the leadership transition’s actual procedures and mechanisms, especially the concrete steps and important variables that may shape its outcomes, is less widespread. A better understanding of the inner workings of the system—the rules (both old and new) of the game of Chinese elite politics—is necessary to arrive at a well-grounded assessment of the upcoming leadership change in China. This essay describes the Chinese leadership’s ongoing preparation for the transition on both the personnel and ideological fronts. It aims to address two specific and crucial questions: According to which steps will the delegates to the congress and the members of the new Central Committee be chosen? Through which channels will the party’s ideological platform for the congress be formulated?* On November 1, 2011, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) issued a document, “The Communiqué on the Election of Delegates for the 18th National Congress of the CCP,” formally launching the preparation process for the leadership transition to take place at the upcoming national congress.1 At roughly the same time, several province-level party leaderships, beginning with Liaoning Province in mid- October, held regional Party congresses to select top provincial leaders and form new party committees. According to the CCP Organization Department, all local levels (i.e., province, municipality, county, and town) of the party leadership have gone through or will complete major turnovers of their party committees (党委换届) between April 2011 and June 2012, involving 30 million party cadres in China’s 31 province-level administrations, 361 cities, 2,811 counties, and 34,171 townships.2 Presently, the CCP has a total of about 80 million members and 3.89 million grassroots organizations.
