How the CPC leads China’s development

(Abstract)

Robert Lawrence Kuhn

I have given thought, over the years, as to what has brought about China’s developmental miracle. I conclude in twelve principles. For the world to understand China, it must understand the Party’s way of thinking – in other words, first, why the CPC asserts that the Party’s continuing political leadership is optimum for China’s development; and second, why the CPC asserts that the Party’s robustness depends on its adaptability, self-regulation and strict management.
