II) How does the Chinese government work?
Please write an essay which explains the Chinese model of institution building. In order to answer this question, please consider the following specific issues:
1) how did China arrive at its present (post WWII) set of government institutions?
2) How is power organized and laws made in the People’s Republic?
3) What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Chinese system?
4) What does the future hold for the country with the largest population in the world – change, stability, democracy, fragmentation, or Superpower status?
5) Don’t forget to provide plenty of historical examples and evidence to defend the analysis presented in the essay. For instance, you could
consider attitudes to trade, COVID, and Hong Kong. Or you might want to write about questions of national security and military alliances such as the ongoing conflict with the US and/or China’s relations with its neighbors. The choice is up to you.
