Why China’s Political Dawn Never Came

In 2012, Wen Jiabao emphasized the necessity of political reform for economic progress, raising hopes for democratization. However, Xi Jinping’s rise halted this trajectory, reverting China to Mao-era authoritarianism. His leadership reflects the Communist Party’s deliberate choice to maintain one-party rule, as evidenced by Kevin Rudd’s revelation of the Party’s 2001 decision to abandon reform. Bo Xilai’s similar authoritarian style underscores the Party’s preference for red aristocrats. Historically, authoritarian regimes rarely democratize without pressure, as seen in Taiwan’s Chiang Ching-kuo. China’s lack of internal or external pressure enabled Xi’s ascent. While hard protests like Tiananmen are rare, soft protests—such as refusing to buy homes or have children—are widespread, pressuring the regime. Without public pressure, internal Party strife only replaces one dictator with another, leaving true reform elusive.
