Problems lie in China's [[single-party control|one-party system]].  It exercises extreme control over every aspect of the Chinese people's lives, from what they see on [[social media]] to how many children they can have. The Chinese Communist party tries to be all-powerful.  The entire structure of the Communist Party, from top to bottom, encourages corruption and abuses.  In this type of system, the party takes all the credit when things go well, but it bears none of the blame when things go badly. With great power comes great responsibility, except the CCP holds an opposite doctrine.  It wants to have all the power and not take any responsibility, especially when things go wrong.

Since the Tiannanmen massacre the party is obsessed with stability, deploying a vast internal security apparatus to head off protests or, once they erupt, to prevent them from spreading. The government is constantly talking about 'stability maintenance' which is coded language for ensuring the party's rule.  The domestic security apparatus includes an 800,000-strong police force under the Ministry of Public Security and a 1.5 million-strong paramilitary force, the People’s Armed Police, which reports to both the Party’s Central Military Commission and, through the Ministry of Public Security, to the State Council.  Other agencies involved in internal security include the Party’s Propaganda Department, which plays an important role in censoring the media to prevent discussion of subjects that might feed movements for change; the Ministry of State Security, which focuses on internal security threats as well as conducting intelligence-gathering abroad; and the Ministry of Justice, which operates China’s gulags and forced labor system.  Many of China's gulags operate factories to produce [[consumer goods]] for [[export]] to the [[United States]] and the rest of the world.
