This book focuses on the evolution of technocracy in contemporary
Chinese politics and its implications in China’s elite politics
and policymaking. The rise of technocracy in contemporary Chinese
politics is not only attributed to the meritocratic tradition based
on civil service exams in ancient China but also tied to the
current authoritarian political system that relies on the top-down
cadre promotion approach instead of public elections.Â
Leaders with technocratic backgrounds have brought changes to
China’s political landscape since technocrats tend to solve
governance issues using technical solutions in an industrialized
society as compared to pure politicians and revolutionaries, who
are inclined to resort to political, and sometimes populist,
options. This book examines the specific tech areas from
which top technocrats have been emerging in Chinese politics, which
include military and aerospace industry, public health, engineering
and science, economics and finance, as well as information
technology. It is a unique research monograph based on research on
China’s evolving technocracy and its political, economic and
international implications that provides a detailed and thorough
study of the country’s industrial policies being reshaped by
these technocrats and their likelihood of joining the Chinese
Communist Party’s top echelon in the next five to ten
years.Â
