{{quotebox-float|Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of [[Marxism-Leninism]], [[Mao Zedong Thought]], Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Important Thought of the ‘Three Represents,’ the Chinese people of all ethnic groups will continue to adhere to the people’s democratic [[dictatorship]] and the [[socialist]] road, persevere in reform and opening to the outside world, steadily improve socialist institutions, develop the socialist market economy, develop socialist democracy, improve the socialist legal system, work hard and self-reliantly to modernize the country’s industry, agriculture, national defense and science and technology step by step, and promote a coordinated development of material, political and spiritual civilizations to turn China into a socialist country that is prosperous, powerful, democratic, and culturally advanced.}}

The unity within the Chinese Communist Party is shattering as all the three factions (Shanghai, Beijing and Zhenjiang) in the party are embroiled in a feud.  The Shanghai faction is led by Jiang Zemin, Beijing faction is led by Hu Jintao, and Zhenjiang faction is led by President Xi Jinping.  Each one of the three is trying to nullify the influence of the other faction.  The Jiang faction is suspected of plotting a [[coup d'etat]] for several years with the intention of replacing Xi Jinping.<ref>https://www.breakinglatest.news/news/zhou-xiaohui-xi-zhizhi-points-out-the-secret-of-the-attempted-assassination-of-the-political-and-legal-department/</ref>

Since 2012, when Xi Jinping took office political oppression has intensified and it has blanketed China. Press, social media, film, arts, literature and the Internet in China is heavily censored. Many intellectuals, Tibetans, Uighurs, lawyers, university students have been persecuted for voicing their opinions in favor of democracy.

As China's economy has expanded since the 1980s, the scale of corruption has grown dramatically. A 2011 report released by China's central bank estimated that from the mid-1990s to 2008, corrupt officials who fled overseas took with them $120 billion in stolen funds.  A 2012 [[Washington, DC]]-based think tank estimated that total illicit financial flows out of China in the decade from 2001 through 2010 amounted to $2.74 trillion, over 20 times as much as the official CCP account in a closely parallel timeframe.<ref>The 2012 Bo Xilai Affair highlighted the degree to which the families of top Party officials were able to parlay access to political power into vast personal wealth.

Bo sat on the 25-member Party Politburo and Central Committee, and was Party Secretary of a powerful municipality.  Bo styled himself as a champion of the poor and dispossessed, supporting the state-run economy, lead a crackdown on supposed organized crime bosses, and fanned nostalgia for the violent [[Antifa|Anti-fascist]] Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.  Bo’s rhetoric was critical of the [[income gap]] and broken promises to the [[working class]] that accompanied China’s rise to become the world’s second-largest economy. Bo was widely reported as a candidate for promotion to the Politburo Standing Committee.

Bo’s wife was convicted of [[murder]] of a British businessman in August 2012.  Bo’s vice mayor was convicted of “bending the law for selfish ends, defection, abuse of power and bribe-taking” in September 2012.  Days later, the Party Politburo expelled Bo from the Party’s ranks and announced that it was transferring his case to state judicial authorities. The Party investigation concluded that Bo “bore major responsibility” in the cases of his vice-mayor’s actions and his wife’s involvement in the murder, and alleged that he “took advantage of his office to seek profits for others and received huge bribes personally and through his family.”  [[Social media]] brought the scandal to light, creating problems for existing leadership.</small></ref>  In 2012, the following internal data leaked out: 90 percent of central party committee members had relatives and children who had emigrated to foreign countries; 85 percent of top officials were ready to abandon their positions and escape the country.

With 85 million dues-paying members, just over 6% of China's population of 1.35 billion, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest political party in the world (2013 data) with more members than the entire population of [[Germany]].  The party 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 responsibility when things go wrong.

Since 2011 the Chinese government's Internal Security budget, which is also known as their Stability Maintenance budget, has been larger than their military budget. The Communist Party considers any threat to stability as a threat to their rule.

The 7 member Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) is the most senior leadership body with each member ranked 1 thru 7, not as equals.  Each shoulders primary responsibility for a specific portfolio.  The Paramount Leader, Xi Jinping as of 2020, is ranked No. 1.

The 7-member Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) is the most senior leadership body with each member ranked 1 thru 7, not as equals.  Each shoulders primary responsibility for a specific portfolio.  The Paramount Leader, Xi Jinping as of 2020, is ranked No. 1. Past Paramount Leaders have been in order of succession:

*[[Mao Zedong]] (1949-1976)

*[[Hua Guofeng]] (1976-1978)

*[[Xi Jinping]] (2012–present)

*[[Xi Jinping]] (2012–present)

The Paramount Leader usually holds three positions, Party General Secretary, President or [[Head of State]], and Chairman of the Central Military Commission or [[Commander-in-chief]] of the [[People's Liberation Army]].  The Central Military Commission is not under civilian control of the State Council.  In the Chinese Communist party structure, the Central Military Commission is of equal rank as the civilian bureaucracy.

PSC members also head Party “Leading Small Groups” (LSGs) for their policy areas. LSGs are secretive bodies intended to facilitate cross-agency coordination in implementation of Politburo Standing Committee decisions.  China has no coordinating body analogous to the U.S. [[National Security Council]]. “Leading Small Groups” at the top of the Party and the State seek to bring together representatives from multiple agencies to coordinate and build consensus around policy in specific areas.  The phenomenon is known as “stove-piping,” in which individual ministries and other hierarchies share information up and down the chain of command, but not horizontally with each other.

Behind the Politburo Standing Committee is the 25 member Politburo, sometimes referred to as the Party's Politburo or full Politburo.  Some members of the 25 member Party Politburo hold duel responsibilities, such as provincial governors or high-ranking military.  All 7 Members of the Politburo Standing Committee are also members, as well as two vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission.

Although the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee are ranked, from one to seven, regular Politburo members are of equal rank under the principles of Democratic Socialism.  Because of its relatively unwieldy size and the geographic diversity of its members, the full Politburo is not involved in day-to-day decision-making.
