Figuring out how to transfer power at the top in the absence of an open and legitimate leadership selection process is the biggest political challenge China faces. Most authoritarian governments are brought down by splits in the leadership, not by revolts of the masses. T
wo
thirds of the authoritarian leaders who were overthrown from 1946-2008, were deposed by élite insiders.Slide8
China's leaders still remember the lesson of the 1989 Tiananmen crisis: What brought the PRC to the brink of collapse was the split in the leadership over how to respond to the protests, not the protests themselves
.
After Mao Zedong died, Deng Xiaoping tried to stabilize Party rule by institutionalizing a system of term limits and mandatory retirement. Getting Jiang
Zemin
to step down as general secretary in 2002 was a significant achievement--the first time a major communist leader left office peacefully. Slide9
As
they compete with one another, however, Chinese politicians are making and remaking the rules, most of which are neither written down nor publicly articulated. They sometimes expand the size of the Politburo, China's top governing body of roughly two dozen, and of its inner core the Politburo Standing Committee to balance the power of different groups. The upper age limit for appointment to the leadership bodies has been lowered over
time--it is now sixty-seven--as
the leaders have used it as a convenient tactic for eliminating rivals and reducing the number of eligible contenders.Slide10
