INTRODUCTION
A whole series of significant events and circumstances
influenced the process of formation and development
of the political structure of the PRC. Initially, this is the
incorporation of traditional ideas of the principles of
public administration of the Confucian ideology into
the modern political system of the PRC. The
achievements of the socio-political culture and
philosophy of the Confucian teachings, which had a
strong influence on the formation of the political
system of China, are still in a state of internal
transformation and continuous development. In
addition, the newly formed political system was met
with unanimous approval from broad sections of
Chinese society. The formation of a sovereign state
with a firm centralized government, defending its
territorial
independence,
and
pursuing
a
comprehensive program to improve economic well-
being determines the nature of the political structure
of the PRC.
The principal features of China's political system,
created in the middle of the last century, are the
following:
political
ideology
is
"plastic"
in
interpretation and practical use. The need for a general
transformation and modernization of the state

economy in China in the last quarter of the 20th
century became a characteristic feature of the period
of "reform and opening up" in Beijing[1]. The
development and diversification of the national
economy and the improvement of market methods of
economic management predetermined the need for
restructuring and the political structure of the country,
which increased in proportion to the pace of market
regulation of the economy.
Political modernization officially begins with the 14th
Congress of the CPC under the leadership of the
"fourth generation" of PRC leaders, where the
principles of modernizing the PRC's political system
were laid down. Under the political modernization of
China is understood the transformation from the
prototype of the Chinese government of a partocratic
type to the newest political structure based on the
postulates of the democratic idea, with an emphasis on
the traditions of the original centuries-old Chinese
culture and the generally established mechanisms for
implementing policy.
A characteristic feature of the construction of the
PRC's political modernization is an increased role for
the values of Confucian thought, applied in the process
of creating a strategic concept for China's
development. Intellectual and spiritual Confucian
concepts, which formed the basis of the principles and
mechanisms of state administration and the
construction
of
the
Chinese
bureaucracy,
predetermine
the
nature
of
the
political
transformations of the PRC at this stage of
development. The specificity of the Chinese model of
political modernization is its evolutionary path of
development. Reforms in China's political structure are
proceeding slowly, acting as an "orienting reflex" to
the socio-economic pace of development of the state,
occurring within society.
A notable feature of the model of the political
structure of the PRC is the primary importance of
economic and economic reforms, which serve as the
main factors in the emergence of new social categories
of citizens in Chinese society, which, in turn, are the
primary subject of the political development of the
state. The component of ideology plays the most
important role in political transformations. Reforms in
the political plane of the state's activity, indicated with
the implementation of the program of economic
innovations in the PRC, are carried out under the motto
of socialist development, where the "Chinese" Marxist
ideology is a fundamental element in the direction of
political modernization.
The primary reason for the modernization of the
political system in the PRC is economic changes, the
implementation of which was launched by the 3rd
meeting of the 11th CPC Central Committee. The largest
increase in economic indicators in the world in recent
years serves as a catalyst for a direct increase in the
financial well-being of citizens. A significant amount of
money accumulation, a prudent and thrifty culture of
consumption keeps the excessive growth of the
middle class within reasonable limits, but an increase in
material prosperity awakens the emergence of a social
consensus as an important element in the process of
further democratization of society. The potential for
finding and developing foreign capital in Chinese
corporations is increasing. The economic integration of
China with the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region is being carried out at the level of legislation.
The
social
prerequisite
for
China's
political
development is the transformation of the social system
of society. Basically, this process is characterized by the
emergence and strengthening of the social category of
the middle class in Chinese society. The main role in this
is assigned to the implementation of the principle of

"Triple Representation". The cultural condition for the
modernization of the political system in China is the
educational paradigms of Chinese society. The increase
in the frequency of citizens' participation in the socio-
political sphere of society is interconnected with the
progress of education and the media, along with
China's policy aimed at improving the legislative
framework, increasing the legal and regulatory culture
of the population. Raising the level of China's
educational standards is one of the fundamental
factors in China's political development due to the
growing culture of citizens' participation in the political
processes of society.
It should be noted that the most important factor in
the implementation of the planned course of political
changes in the PRC is the personal factor of Chinese
leaders. Each chairman of the Central Committee of the
PRC, being the leading person of the state, took certain
steps to improve the socio-economic condition of the
citizens of the PRC. Thus, starting from Deng Xiaoping,
all responsible persons of the state specified their
government course of development of the PRC, which
pursued the task of further modernizing the Chinese
political system [2]. The role of the state leader
assumes his exceptional importance in making socially
important decisions, such as political reforms.
One of the key vectors of China's political
modernization is the implementation of the principle
of change of power and rotation of political elites in the
PRC. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the
mechanism of succession of power in the political
establishment of the country has been fully rooted in
China. The institutionalization of this practice finally
crystallized under the leadership of the fourth
generation of Chinese leaders. In 2002, the paradigm of
public control by the state was established, when every
decade, after one congress of the CPC, the general
secretary, chairman and premier of the State Council of
the PRC are re-elected. Along with the mechanism for
electing leaders of local governments in China, the
system of internal party democracy continues to
evolve. To date, the Chinese government is not going
to organize other elections on the scale of regional and
national power, but the tradition of democracy at the
internal level of the party, based on the principles of
political competition, continues to improve.
In line with the increased pace of further
democratization of the electoral system in China, the
process of formation of new democratic mechanisms
and institutions is accelerating [3]. Improving the
procedure for local elections is the beginning of the
institutionalization of local elites, which are subjects of
the local level of power. The evolution of the local
electoral system is the main trajectory of the political
development of society, which begins to be
conditioned by the ability of the local establishment to
respond to the main challenges of the modern world
and find answers to problems of local importance.
The main mechanisms of China's political development
are reforms in the system of legislation and the
structure of government bodies. The administrative
procedure for transforming the political system of the
PRC is distinguished by certain natural elements of the
Confucian model of governance [4]. Through the
improvement of the judicial, legal and legislative order,
the functioning of the main mechanisms, principles,
norms and practices of the political activity of citizens
within society takes place, which, in turn, leads to the
political modernization of the state.
The increase in the number of organizations of social
and political importance in China, due to the advent of
the era of "openness and reform", is the most
important indicator of the evolution of the political
structure of the PRC. The formation and evolution of

civil society in China acts as a catalyst for the
implementation of political initiatives of the population
and a springboard for public self-government at the
local level. The modernization of the political system in
the PRC finds its final embodiment in a significant
transformation of political traditions and practices.
First of all, this refers to the modern socio-economic,
socio-political, cultural and humanitarian policy of the
Chinese
leadership,
focused
on
significant
transformation and development of the entire Chinese
society.
The emergence of a new stage of political
development in China can be facilitated by the growth
in the volume of needs of the political establishment in
future reforms in the field of socio-economic, cultural
and humanitarian activities of society. This process has
been observed and continues to take place under the
leadership of the "fifth generation" of Chinese leaders,
who focus their national program on overcoming
national and social development issues.
