Description: Socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics: does it exist today and, if so, how does it work? I have of course glossed the phrase “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” coined by Deng Xiaoping in 1982. This slogan has generated its own controversy, with some decrying it as a screen for reintroducing capitalism and others seeing it as a consistent development of Mao’s emphasis on the “sinification” of Marxism. That is not my direct concern here, although I do wish to keep open the ambiguity of the term, for it signals the sheer experiment that continues in China and is part of the immense complexity of constructing communism once one has seized power.
