The Communist Party of China: Understanding the Durability of the World's Most Powerful Political Organization
The Communist Party of China has ruled mainland China since 1949. From Marxist revolution and class struggle to market reforms and national rejuvenation, the Party has repeatedly reinvented itself and its justification for monopolizing political power. Bringing together experts from a range of disciplines around the globe, this collection serves as a guide to understanding the Party's unparalleled durability. They examine a range of themes includ…
Response of Soil Hydraulic Properties to Subsoiling in the Plow Zone of Northeast China's Black Soil and Construction of Cultivability Prediction Model
Temporal variations in soil dynamic characteristics after subsoiling are closely correlated with soil quality and the effectiveness of subsoiling practices. Analyzing soil hydraulic characteristics not only provides a basis for identifying the presence of a soil plough layer, but also offers a novel approach to optimizing tillage timing and frequency, reducing tillage resistance, and thereby achieving the goals of low‐carbon and precision tillage…

Geovisualizing evolving population and built-up area in China, 2010–20
China's population and development land have changed dramatically over the last decade. Yet, our understanding of the spatial distribution patterns of the population and built-up areas remains limited. To fill this gap, we employ China's Population Census and GlobeLand30 remote sensing data from 2010 to 2020 at the county level to geovisualize the evolution of the population and built-up area. We find an increasing correlation between built-up ar…
Class and the Communist Party of China, 1978–2021: Reform and Market Socialism
From Marxism to nationalism: The Chinese Communist Party's discursive shift in the post-Mao era
The Chinese Communist Party's dramatic shift from Mao Zedong's Chinese Revolution to Xi Jinping's Chinese Dream remains under-examined and even misunderstood or mispresented despite its enormous impact on every aspect of national life in the People's Republic of China. There is a clear need for in-depth analysis of the extent to which the CCP has departed from the philosophical foundation of Marxism and Maoism, abandoned socialism and communism, …
Nationalism, National Identity, Elites and Democratization in Russia and China
Both the creeping democratization in China and the consolidation of democratization in Russia have confronted the national identity question and the rise of nationalism. Perhaps the most salient and pressing problem in Russia and China is the maintenance of national boundaries and an integral state. This reflects both the underlying fears of foreign incursions, secessionist wars and crippling border disputes, and a rather tenuous current relation…
Conceptual Introduction
This Introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book aims to define key concepts, explore their implications in a Chinese context, and spells out the linkages between nationalism, national identities, the national identity question, the nation-state system, and the relationship between the national boundary/identity question and democratization. It classifies nationalism into state ver…
Patriotic Villains and Patriotic Heroes: New trends in literary nationalism
This chapter looks at how the statist notion of the nation and patriotism are contested by literary writers, arguably the most articulate and creative group of Chinese intellectuals. It explores what role Chinese writers play in shaping nationalism; and what sort of identity they are imagining. The chapter outlines the general intellectual and political background to the rise of literary nationalism in the 1980s and 1990s. It examines the &s;sear…
The National Identity Question, Nationalism, and Democratization in China and Taiwan
This chapter aims to compare nationalism and democratization in Taiwan and China, and, in particular seeks to develop an understanding of the rise of Taiwanese nationalism and its impact on democratization; as well as the impact democratization has on the politics associated with national identity question. It examines the effects of democratization and nationalism identifying two crucial structural factors which continue to contribute to the out…
The Clash between State Nationalism and Democratization over the National Identity Question
This chapter examines the areas where, and conditions under which, Chinese nationalism can be said to constitute an obstacle to democratization. It seeks to demonstrate the logic of the conflict between democracy and nationalism in the Chinese context. The chapter offers some general remarks on the relationship between nationalism and democracy. It gives a brief historical account of the various episodes where the national identity question has c…
Concluding Remarks
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides a detailed documentary description of the rise of state nationalism, and offers comprehensive discussion on Chinese pan-national identity. It argues that state nationalism has been unable to rally the Chinese people behind the Party-state for lack of genuine popular support. The book examines a central issue concernin…
Reimagining the Nation: The ‘Zeng Guofan phenomenon’
This chapter focuses on the Chinese intellectual search for a civic and territorial notion of national identity. Today&s;s Chinese intellectuals continue this tradition by inventing a pan-Chinese identity, as is well demonstrated by the case of the &s;Zeng Guofan phenomenon&s;. More specifically, China in the 1980s and 1990s was caught up in two major sociopolitical processes: accelerated modernization and the abrupt ending of the Cold War. In th…
State Nationalism in Post-4th June China
This chapter aims to describe the content and strategies of the Chinese Communist Party&s;s (CCP&s;s) patriotic indoctrination. It examines how state nationalism is shaped by factional politics within the CCP and analyses the dilemma of Chinese state nationalism against its professed objectives. The chapter describes the CCP&s;s strategies to create a patriotic atmosphere. It also examines the instrumental nature of the CCP&s;s promotion of tradi…
Local Elites in Post-Mao China
This chapter highlights how local political elites shape and steer governance in China’s vast rural areas where local officials act as both agents of the central state and lower level principals, who enjoy considerable autonomy and power, but also are subject to a number of institutional and policy constraints determined by the central state. It shows that how structural constraints impacting on the field of local politics have been managed by co…
Nationalism, National Identity and Democratization in China
This title was first published in 2000: This text aims to provide a clear understanding of the complex relationship that exists between nationalism, national identity, the state, the direction and trend of China's transition and the subsequent prospects for democratization. While describing the rise of Chinese nationalism and the accompanying discourse on Chinese national identity, it focuses on the national identity question and its impact on de…
Bringing politics into class analysis: State power and class formation in post-Mao China
Traditional class theories invariably embrace the ‘proposition of economism’, either extruding politics from the causality of class formation or treating politics as epiphenomenal. Similar ideas of class inform much of the literature on class in the People's Republic of China (PRC). This article contends that social stratification and class formation in post-Mao China cannot be fully understood without recognising state power as a critical determ…

Unequal China: The political economy and cultural politics of inequality
Among the assumptions that accompany the study of inequality in China is the notion that the reform process and the marketization of social relations and means of production are behind the dramatic increase in inequality in China. In this chapter, echoing Yingjie Guo in this volume, we suggest that institutional factors and the distinction between those who are within the system and those who are outside it are also still playing a role in inequa…
Classes without Class Consciousness and Class Consciousness without Classes: The meaning of class in the People's Republic of China
The meaning of class, like many other things, is conferred by historically specific chains of signification or discourses that constitute the identity and significance of class as a social reality. Therefore, much of the conceptual purchase and explanatory power of class will be lost when the concept is taken out of the theories in which it is embedded. This is exactly the case with the use of class in the People's Republic of China in the last t…
Rethinking Nation and Nationalism: Concepts, positions and approaches
In the vast majority of literature on 'Chinese nationalism' the distinction between nation and state is rarely made, consequently nationalism usually appears as loyalty to the state rather than identification with the nation. Yet, since 1989, both the official configuration of the nation and the state's monopolized right to name the nation have come under rigorous challenge. Cultural Nationalism in Contemporary China relocates the discussion of n…
Farewell to Class, except the Middle Class: The Politics of Class Analysis in Contemporary China
Anthony Giddens was right to emphasize that '[a] large part of the chequered history of the concept of class has to be understood in terms of the changing concerns of those who have made use of the notion, concerns which reflect changing directions of emphasis within sociology itself' (1977: 99). It must be added, though, that those concerns also reflect value-ridden perceptions about the structure of societies and social models, and indeed the c…
Domestic Openness in post-WTO China: Central and local perspectives
This article seeks answers to three basic questions about the WTO's impact on domestic openness in China: is China a more open society as a result of its WTO membership; in what way has the WTO affected reform and openness; and, is WTO membership leading to political liberalization or translating into a demand for democracy as democracy advocates predicted? To this end, it identifies and analyzes the WTO-related reforms at central and local level…
The Revival of Chinese Cultural Nationalism
The debate on Chinse cultural nationalism, as on nationalism in general, is often polarised by a number of theoretical positions, value judgements, practical concerns and methodological choices. While there is no consensus that cultural nationalism has developed into a formidable force in China, few would deny that it has been on the rise since June 4, 1989, and that it is a cultural-political movement with no parallel in the People’s Republic, e…

Why has nationalism surged again in China in the 1990s? What is the content of the this nationalism? These questions have been often asked in recent years. The aim of this paper is to look at these issues from a literary perspective and cast new light on them by examining some influential views and works of one of the most articulate and creative groups of intellectuals. In doing so, the paper will also explore what role Chinese writers play in s…
