Tsai, Wen-Hsuan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract United front work has played an important role in the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Since 2012, Xi Jinping has strengthened the united front system’s ecacy and further proposed formation of a “great united front.” He holds that united front work’s essence is “making friends,” in which regard the CCP under Xi has introduced a new practice called “pairing-up.” It stipulates that local governments at all levels must facilitate establishment of “friendly” relations between members of Party committees and specific persons in charge of so-called democratic parties to further implementation of united front work.
