Pretty good overview of China& #39;s statist thinkers. But it underestimates how much the Party integrates Marxist views of power with this theoretical toolkit.

Ideological continuity is one of the major goals which Xi has undertaken. The Soviet failure to maintain it is core to the Chinese analysis of why it collapsed.

The Marxist understanding of history deeply informs how Xi sees China& #39;s role in global events. The structure and contradictions of history are the engine which drive societies forward. https://palladiummag.com/2020/07/08/the-theory-of-history-that-guides-xi-jinping/">https://palladiummag.com/2020/07/0...
Why is it so important that the Party understands this structure? It is the key to the "rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
From @sysimmolator: Jiang and co have framed their project as part of this overarching goal in the CCP& #39;s justification for rule. https://palladiummag.com/2020/02/05/jiang-shigongs-vision-of-a-new-chinese-world-order/">https://palladiummag.com/2020/02/0...

This doesn& #39;t forestall drawing on China& #39;s historical traditions. But these are promoted based on how they integrate themselves with Party goals.
@shaunodwyer and T. H. Jiang outlined how this plays out among liberal and illiberal Confucian factions. https://palladiummag.com/2019/09/26/the-universal-ambitions-of-chinas-illiberal-confucian-scholars/">https://palladiummag.com/2019/09/2...

When reading Chinese political theory, it& #39;s striking how often it defies what the West sees as dichotomies: state/markets, sovereignty/internationalism, and so on.
Perhaps this reveals that such dichotomies are more the product of ideology than understanding our institutions.

China does not share these ideological commitments. In order to understand how the Party leadership approaches its goals, we need to understand how they see the world.
Perhaps we will learn something about the secrets of America& #39;s own success in the process.
