The dominant view concerning the rule of the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) is that it is simply a matter of time before it comes
to an end. This view has been dominant since the pro-democracy
protests in 1989 and has only been strengthened by the increasing
number of protests in recent years. However, the Chinese Communist
Party has continued to remain in power throughout this period and
its rule appears to be secure in the short-to medium-term. As the
twentieth anniversary of the military suppression of the
pro-democracy demonstrations approaches, this book explains how the
Chinese Communist Party has maintained its authority since 1989. It
provides a detailed analysis of the Party's discourse emphasising
stability in the post-Tiananmen period, analysing the government's
propaganda in order to show how this discourse has been used by the
Party to legitimate its authority. The interdisciplinary nature of
this book makes it relevant to a number of different academic
disciplines including Asian studies, China studies, international
relations, politics and sociology.
