THE ROLE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA IN THE STATE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

The article describes the role of the Chinese Communist Party in ensuring the political stability of the country. The authors note that in order to understand the specifics of the political system of the People's Republic of China, it is necessary to pay attention to the works of classical Chinese philosophers Confucius, Meng-tzu, Shang Yang. It is noted that the political system of China is quite specific. It includes a lot of different bodies, the main one of which is the Communist Party of China. According to the basic law of China-the Constitution, it is this party that is the force that directs and governs the entire life of the country. Getting party membership is a sure way to the top of your career, because in China they try to take party people to leadership positions. The article points out that intra-party relations are based on the ideas of hierarchy, paternalism, mass character. According to the Chinese, paternalism is manifested in the fact that the party tells the ordinary population whose interests they need to protect, as well as the fact that the party governs the country not on the basis of the universal free will of the people, but on the basis that only the party can know the real interests of the people. The principle of the mass line implies that the partapparat is in constant contact with the ordinary population. The task of party members is to accept ideas that come from the ordinary population to improve some issues, properly process them, and then present them to the population. The scope of the Chinese Communist Party is extremely wide, which is necessary to retain power. It is the party that puts people in leadership positions in the army, political authorities, and security agencies. The party also has a huge influence over the mass media that are published in China. It is important to note that officially the party is separated from the power structures, in practice it is not. As a rule, all the top people in the political life of China also hold high party positions. This makes it possible for the party to completely lead the political life of the state.
