Abstract

This article offers a bird’s eye view of the four decades of Chinese economic reforms from the perspective of Neo-authoritarianism. During the first stage of China’s reform, from the late 1970s until the rise of Xi Jinping in March 2013, a soft version of Neo-authoritarianism prevailed in China. While the Communist Party held onto power, market liberalization cultivated a flourishing private sector, creating unprecedented wealth and a fledging civil society in China. The rise of Xi marks the beginning of a new hard version of Neo-Authoritarianism; strengthening political control.
