THE PARTY AND THE PEOPLE - CHINESE POLITICS IN ...

Since 1949  the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has maintained unrivalled control over the
country  persisting even in the face of economic calamity  widespread social upheaval  and
violence against its own people. Yet the party does not sustain dominance through repressive
tactics alone?it pairs this with surprising responsiveness to the public. The Party and the
People explores how this paradox has helped the CCP endure for decades  and how this balance
has shifted increasingly toward repression under the rule of President Xi Jinping. Bringing
together a vast body of sources  The Party and the People sheds new light on how the
relationship between the Chinese state and its citizens shapes governance.
