How the CPC Exercise the Rule by Law

Abstract

This book explores how the Communist Party of China (CPC) integrates the principle of rule by law into its governance system. It examines the Party’s leadership role in shaping China’s legal framework, emphasizing the balance between rule of law and rule of virtue. The author outlines the historical evolution of China’s legal reforms, the institutional mechanisms that ensure Party leadership over legislation, judiciary, and law enforcement, and the ways in which legal modernization aligns with China’s socialist path and national conditions. Through detailed analysis, the book highlights the CPC’s approach to strengthening governance, promoting social stability, and advancing the modernization of China’s legal system, while contrasting it with Western legal traditions.
