National socialist images of a sacred bloodline have become a feature of [[CCP]] ideology. Su Jingzhuang, from the Central Party School, wrote an article on Xi Jinping thought in the ''Study Times'', arguing: ‘Red genes are a genetic factor that has taken root in the body of our party and flows through the blood vessels of CCP cadres; they [form] the spiritual lineage of the Chinese races’ coexistence and co-prosperity, and [they are] a core political advantage in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.’<ref>https://archive.ph/PsH7T</ref>

The national socialist mission of unifying race, party, nation and state have taken on singular import for the CCP, while its [[Leninist]] role of securing a path to communism has been subordinated. [[Nationalism]] is no longer a necessary step on the road to communism, but the driving force behind Chinese socialism.

Under [[Xi Jinping]], the CCP has proven all too willing to incorporate aspects of Hitlerian national socialism into its mode of governance. Carl Schmitt, known as the ‘crown jurist of national socialism’, was cited by legal advisers to China’s leadership to rationalize the CCP’s imposition of a new national security law on [[Hong Kong]] in 2020.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/12/nazi-china-communists-carl-schmitt/617237/</ref> Schmitt’s central argument was that the sovereign, as someone who decides on exceptions to rules, has a necessary power to suspend civil liberties. That the CCP is now incorporating Schmitt’s fascist jurisprudence into its legal regime indicates that China’s ruling elite has been influenced not only by the ideological elements of national socialism but also by Nazism’s governmental aspects.<ref>https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/xi-jinpings-conception-of-socialism/</ref>
