‘REGIME STABILITY, PARTY HEGEMONY AND LEGITIMACY IN POST-COVID CHINA.’
      
Abstract:
The Chinese Communist Party has tightened its control of Chinese society. We see this in the economy where state-owned companies and privately-owned companies are ordered to strengthen the role of their internal Party organizations. In the cultural and ideological sphere the Party is also focusing on ensuring its dominance. These developments take place in the context of economic slowdown and internal political debate about China’s foreign policy relations and highlights the overarching issue of maintaining regime stability and Party hegemony in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis.
