Chinese business portal Caixin: about reforms, democracy and the rule of law

Китайский бизнес-портал Caixin: о реформах, демократии и верховенстве закона

Hu Shuli, the founder of the business and financial media group Caixin, September 18 published an editorial in which he called for “building a new relationship between business and government”.

The article was published less than a week after the Central government of China has fired more than 400 legislators of national and provincial level in the Liaoning province in northeast China.

“Creating an optimal environment for entrepreneurs requires more than just supportive policies. There has to be … consistent political ecology, ” writes Hu. In particular, this means promoting reforms in the management system and accelerating the establishment of democracy and the rule of law.”

Caixin, was founded in 2010, is not state media. Many believe that it is associated with Wang Qishan, head of the powerful internal disciplinary organization of the party and one of the seven members of the Politburo standing Committee, which de facto ruled by China.

Wang Qishan last few years is the right hand of the leader XI Jinping and the head of the Central Commission for discipline inspection, investigation and punishment of corrupt officials. Throughout the campaign, Caixin is regularly used as a channel of disseminating information about arrests and investigations, which held the van, and the immense, ill-gotten wealth recovered from the corrupt officials.

According to Lee, Tensaw, political observer of NTD television in new York, an article by Hu Shuli (Caixin considering the relationship with Wang Qishan) may be a political signal as to the General public, and opponents si.

13 Sep 45 delegates to the national people’s Congress from Liaoning province, was dismissed for what have achieved their positions through bribery and other illegal means. Hundreds of other provincial delegates in Liaoning has also been dismissed or dismissed for similar reasons.

“Messages about the sale of votes in Liaoning shocked the whole country”, — the article says Hu Shuli. She then went on to discuss the “lessons to be learned”, as well as relatively weak economic conditions and “unhealthy political ecology of the North-Eastern Chinese region of Liaoning province.

Hu Shuli noted that Zhang Dejiang, the Chairman of the NPC standing Committee and, as si WAN, a member of the Politburo standing Committee, called the case “the first fact of election fraud at the provincial level or above since the founding of New China”. “New China is a term often used in Communist propaganda to refer to people’s Republic of China.

According to Lee, Tensaw, layoffs in Liaoning and the Caixin article is probably designed to “limit Zhang Detszyan” in anticipation of the upcoming VI of the Plenum of the Communist party of China. This is the last plenary session before the XIX party Congress, scheduled for next year, which will be announced personnel appointments and changes.

Li said that Zhang Dejiang, the adversary C, on the NPC is an obstacle for the Chinese leader to the attainment of full power.

Zhang is associated with the unofficial faction of senior party officials, supporters of Jiang Zemin, the former leader of the Communist party, whose influence persists despite the fact that he left their posts in early 2000. Many of the officers punished during the anti-corruption campaign, was a protégé of Jiang.

The Caixin article also indirectly criticized the activities of the dismissed officials in Liaoning province, some of which are acted at the behest of Jiang.

“Liaoning has a reserve of natural resources, which are rarely seen in the world, not to mention China,” says Hu. But why is the economy of the province is in a deplorable state? In a nutshell, the root of the ailment lies in the institutional arrangements obsolete and ossified planned economy”.

With the beginning of market reforms of the state industrial and exploration enterprises went into recession and received huge subsidies from the state in 2000, but did not succeed.

The reign of Jiang was marked by the growth of corruption and economic expansion. He allowed the party elite to join the business and gave the officials the protection in exchange for their political loyalty. If this era really coming to an end, it gives reason for optimism.
