Soft totalitarianism in China
Article Abstract:
The Chinese government can be described as a form of 'soft totalitarianism.' The Chinese Communist Party governs through a combination of authoritarian rules and market-driven economic policies. The Communist Party's shift from communism to Chinese nationalism as the regime's legitimizing authority serves as a stabilizing force for the country. This focus on nationalism is reviving old attitudes regarding the country's former status as the preeminent Asian civilization. This revival of nationalism may be the key to China's growth into a global superpower.
