Despite the collapse of the USSR and Eastern European
communist regimes since 1989, the PRC has retained a
one-party regime while it continues its economic reforms
begun in 1978, before reforms in other communist counties
got under way. In contrast to former communist regimes, the
PRC is attempting socialist market reforms while retaining
the people's democratic dictatorship under the leadership of
the Chinese Communist Party. We shall examine the politics
of this anomaly, looking into the traditional and Republican
antecedents to the PRC regime, and evaluate the potential
for China's democratization.
