Über dieses Buch

This book defines China’s road towards modernization with Chinese characteristics by systematically examining a typical Chinese political process – the National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), during which diverse opinions are collected and a unified political consensus is formed. The author provides a detailed introduction to the background of and preparations for the 18th National Congress of CPC, as well as his personal experience of it as an attending representative.
In addition, the book addresses a key problem, namely how China’s leadership handover procedure gradually evolved into the current collective handover procedure, by analyzing its developmental history. The question of “how to implement China’s leadership handover” is particularly meaningful, as it reflects the development of China’s political system, and is also essential to the CPC flourishing and China’s long-term prosperity. The author’s personal experiences at the 18th National Congress made it possible to fully investigate the leadership handover procedure between Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping.Lastly, the book provides a detailed description of one highlight of the 18th CPC National Congress – the focus on ecological culture and green development – and discusses China’s dream and its implications for history and the world.

Chapter 1. Background, Preparation and Experience of the National Congress

Abstract

We deem the National Congress of the Communist Party of China as a classic process of Chinese politics, i.e. a process of political democracy, a process of political consensus and a process of political unity.

Chapter 2. Main Spirits and Main Objectives

Abstract

The so-called “China’s road” is the road of China’s rise and the road of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is the real right way of the world. The essence of building of the socialism with Chinese characteristics is the exploration of the modernization road of China, and also the transcendence of the modernization mode in western countries. It is a process ceaselessly absorbing the quintessence and removing the dross from the modernization process of western developed countries, summarizing experiences during the modernization process of China, and trying and correcting after suffering all difficulties, risks and dangers, as well as the process seeking for and selecting the superior (inferior).

Chapter 3. Transition of the Central Leadership Group

Abstract

The transition of the old and the new used to be a critical problem which had not been settled properly by the Chinese Communist Party in quite a long time. The transition experienced a evolution from failure to success; from setback to smooth; from non-institutionalized to institutionalized; from individual successor chosen by individual leader to successor leadership group chosen by leadership group, and thus formed a central leadership group transition mechanism with Chinese characteristics.

Chapter 5. China’s Dream: Number One in the World

Abstract

Catching up with and surpassing America has been the “China’s dream” and “Great Power’s dream” proposed by Mao Zedong. In 1956, He for the first time proposed the assumption in the preliminary conference of the 8th National Congress of CPC to catch up and surpass America in fifty (by 2006) or sixty (by 2016) years. This is the “great strategy” of China. Among the numerous powers in present world, the only country which is qualified and capable is China.
