| Summary/Abstract |
The representative migrant enclave in Beijing, Zhejiangcun, was a ‘gray’ lawless zone outside the ‘red’ socialist order from the perspective of the Chinese Communist Party, subject to the government’s crackdown and demolition. However, Zhejiangcun surprised everyone by developing into a ‘red’ space through the grassroots Party-building by its peasant migrant businessmen, starting with the establishment of Beijing’s first Party branch of floating Party members in 1995 which now commands 26 Party branches. This article examines this astounding transformation of Zhejiangcun from ‘gray’ to ‘red,’ by providing answers to how Zhejiangcun was able to construct and develop a Party organization even before the ‘Three Represents’ and, in turn, how this Party organization contributed to the success and survival of Zhejiangcun’s migrant businessmen.

| Summary/Abstract |
As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) prepares to commemorate on July 1 the 100th anniversary of its founding in 1921, it continues to confound policymakers and scholars with its expanding illiberalism amid persistent resilience, defying expectations of eventual moderation and inevitable collapse. From the vantage point of 2021, the CCP has demonstrated that it can adapt to both new and legacy challenges or, at a minimum, find creative ways to kick the can down the road. Not only is the Party resilient, it is also successful: today’s Communist Party controls more wealth, commands a more powerful military force, and can exert its influence over farther reaches of the globe than at any other point in its history.
