| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 大陸研究所 === 91 === The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the spearhead of the Chinese working class, the representative of the interest of the people of all ethnic groups in China, and the force at the core leading China’s cause of socialism.
After the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, the (CPC) became the ruling party, leading the country in its political life and social activities. The leadership of the CPC over the state affairs focuses on the political principles, political orientation, decision making on major issues and makes recommendations regarding the appointment of important officials to government bodies, and upholds the people’s democratic dictatorship.
A well-disciplined Party armed with the theory of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong thoughts, an army under the leadership of the Party, a united font of all revolutionary and all revolutionary groups under the leadership of such a Party are the ideas and practices of struggle which was carried through the life of the whole nation. It was used to change people’s thinking and living and bring them into the line with the Communist doctrine and government policy.
China’s government is a dictatorship. The power of gun, the power of ideology, and the power of the Party were the forces, which in the final analysis, maintained the authority of the communist. Whoever wants to oppose the communist party must be prepared to be ground to the dust. If you are not keen on being ground to the dust, you had certainly drop the opposition. Freedom of movements was restricted and no freedom of speech.
In western countries, government controls the state but in China, communist party controls the government. Others exercising their freedom, but China were restricted from it.
The period of officially designated “transition to socialism” emerged in 1953. The period was characterized by the efforts to achieve industrializations, collectivization of agriculture, and political centralization.
The People’s Republic of China practices the system of people’s congress. China’s constitution stipulates that all power that the People’s Republic of China belongs to the people, and the organs through which the people exercise power are the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the local people’s congresses at different levels.
The National People’s Congress (NPC) is the highest organ of state power. It exercises the state power of amending the constitution and supervising the enforcement of the constitution; enacts the basic laws of the state; elects and decides on the choices of the leading personnel of the highest state organs of China, including the President and Vice President, the choice of the Premier of the State Council and other component members of the State Council.
After the establishments of the NPC, China undergoes major political developments and governmental changes. An official effort to liberalized political climate emerged. Cultural and intellectual figures were encouraged to speak in their minds.
Until now more and more changes are been seen in China’s political and economic condition. They tend to be more open to outside world and let their people decide from different aspects though there are still some restrictions.
As the Chinese proverbs says: “Change the substance but don’t change the name,” is like ring of the bell tower in China. A party that once doted on former chairman Mao Zedong’s “little red book” and sought to export its “forever correct” aphorisms worldwide is undergoing major alterations to its core of ideology and identity. The change is part of an effort to keep pace with market forces and national sentiments already for advances in Chinese society.
