Key Insights

1. Does China have a modern form of government?
2. China’s National Government as a Hierarchy: is it centralized? Meritocratic?

Forms of Government

1. Modern Government Model (“European Model”—Enlightenment English/Scottish/French): state should adjudicate interests in a fair and legitimate fashion
   • US Government Model: hybrid, constitutional, late 18th entry design (i.e. “government is designed to stop things”)
2. Alternative Model (“Developer Model”): State’s purpose is to push national progress through economic and military strength (i.e. “the government pushes things forward)
   • China
   • Axis Powers

Modern Government

We typical define a modern government as a liberal democratic government. But China’s system is in some sense much newer than liberal democracy—invented by the Soviets.
