THE FANG-SHOU (CHINESE POLITICAL) ENIGMA:• Can the government balance liberal
economic policies with political authoritarianism?
• Why is it so important for the CCP to maintain the system of democratic centralism?
![Page 7: April 25 – AP Comp Gov – Fang Shou](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56816782550346895ddc9027/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DUAL RULE IN A PARALLEL SYSTEM• Dual Rule
• Multiple channels of control and information• Agencies are partly under the administration of
another body of the same level• Each government body has a parallel CCP
body which exerts influence over it• Many parallel offices are held by the same people
![Page 8: April 25 – AP Comp Gov – Fang Shou](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56816782550346895ddc9027/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

POWER AND INFLUENCE
![Page 11: April 25 – AP Comp Gov – Fang Shou](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56816782550346895ddc9027/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE COMMUNIST PARTY• 73 million members – add 2-3 million per
year• Joining brings significant privileges
• Jobs, connections, education, information, power• Joining is difficult
• Exams, backing of existing members, probationary period, background checks
• Promotion within the system is based on experience, influence and loyalty
• To a member of the CCP, loyalty goes to the party first, and everything else second

POLITBURO• The nexus of Chinese power• Controlled by the SEVEN MEMBER standing
committee• All members are bound by formally made
decisions• Members of the standing committee also
hold/control the following posts:• party general secretary • premier• chairman of the National People's Congress• head of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission
![Page 13: April 25 – AP Comp Gov – Fang Shou](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56816782550346895ddc9027/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NATIONAL PEOPLE’S CONGRESS• 1982 constitution designed it as the center
of power for the Chinese State• In reality it’s a rubber stamp for the
Politburo• Over 70% of reps (and 95% of senior
leadership) are CCP members• 3000 delegate from across China meet once
a year• Unwieldy/cumbersome
• Real influence comes from the 150 member standing committee

THE CHINESE DREAM• As of 2013, the slogan of
the CCP is “The Chinese Dream”
• Xi described the dream as "national rejuvenation, improvement of people’s livelihoods, prosperity, construction of a better society and military strengthening." He has stated that young people should "dare to dream, work assiduously to fulfill the dreams and contribute to the revitalization of the nation.”
