| Summary/Abstract |
This article is an attempt to explain the specific features of China's socially oriented policy at the beginning of the 21st century from the point of view of a systemic and functional analysis of the PRC political system. Despite the limited character of the existing democratic mechanisms in the country, the Chinese authorities demonstrate a sufficiently high level of responsiveness to the everyday needs of the population, which have become strained in the course of market reforms. The article presents an analysis disclosing certain transformation processes of the political regime of modern China.
