What are facts about the Chinese communism party?

Answer 1

The Chinese Communist Party, in theory, follows five central doctrines:

-Marxism-Leninism: The doctrine of the Soviet Union, this centers around socialist industrial development through the leadership of a central party ("democratic centralism") to accelerate the process of revolution. Many elements have been replaced by later developments, but the core- one-party rule and socialist theory- remains.

-Mao Zedong Thought: The doctrine of Agrarian Revolution and People's Democracy. This was the central thought behind the Cultural Revolution and centered around establishing rule of the country by agrarian communes. This doctrine is largely obsolete; the official line of the communist party is that Mao was "two-thirds right and one-third wrong".

-Deng Xiaoping Theory: The doctrine of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, or Market Socialism. After the failure of the Cultural Revolution and stagnation of the Leninist economy, Deng Xiaoping theory introduced reforms intended to create a system in which state-owned companies would develop the economy in a guided-yet-competitive market system, focused on exports, technology transfer, and integration with the modern world rather than Maoist autarky ("Reform and Opening Up")

-The Three Represents: Jiang Zemin's major contribution to Chinese political thought, it's main results have been to purge old-line communists from the party and increase representation of all sectors of society, including (and especially) entrepreneurs and private businesspeople, within the Communist Party. Since the introduction of this doctrine, corruption has decreased and the party has grown considerably.

-Scientific Development Theory: Hu Jintao's contribution to theory, this enshrines Chinese technocracy into constitutional law. The contemporary Chinese political system, since the death of the older generation of leaders, has been replaced with a large cadre of engineers who deal with the Chinese system from a point of view of "project management". Under this system, it is imperative that the government has the best expertise, most valid information, and applies scientific method and analysis to solving the problems of state, superceding other ideological concerns.

In short, the Chinese Communist Party today is a technocratic Dictatorship whose main beliefs are Chinese nationalism, a long-term plan of socialist development, and a commitment to using "best practices" to build a modern Chinese state. Since the death of Mao Zedong, commitments to Revolutionary Communism have largely been abandoned in favor of pragmatic economics, relatively neutral foreign policy, and continued maintainance of one-party rule in increasingly sophisticated forms.
