This book explores why, how, and under what conditions a
single-party regime uses formal democratic institutions to
strengthen its rule. Zhongyuan Wang challenges the traditional
perceptions that the Chinese congress acts either as mere window
dressing or as an immediate catalyst for democratization. He argues
that managed elections and mobilized representation are two
strategic cards of China's one-party regime. By downplaying input
electoral competition but promoting output congressional
representation, the Chinese Communist Party has been committed to
remodeling its unique brand of "socialist democracy" as an
alternative to liberal democracy. Such a model of democracy with
Chinese characteristics features the "Leninist trinity" of the
Party's leadership, the rule of law, and people's sovereignty, as
well as a new form of mobilized representation that relies heavily
on non-electoral accountability from the top down. Remodeling
democracy enables China's one-party regime to enhance its
resilience and consolidate and sustain its rule.
