The Electoral System of The People¡¦s Congress of China

Will it be inevitable that the systems in relating to politics and laws undergoing necessary reforms as the economies have been developing since the opening of reforms in China? How are the systems being reformed? What directions are there for reforms? The above questions are the motives for my study.
This doctoral dissertation is divided into eight chapters. An ¡§introduction¡¨ is made in Chapter I which describes motives, purposes , methods and expected results of the study. Chapter II refers to the ¡§Discussion theories of the Electoral System of PCC¡¨.
It is necessary to take a closer look at the theories on which the electoral system is based before getting to learn the electoral systems in mainland China. Therefore the four theories including ¡§People¡¦s Democratic Dictatorship¡¨, ¡§Combination of Legislation and Execution¡¨, ¡§Democratic Centralism¡¨, and ¡§Socialism Featured with Chinese Characteristics ¡¨ act as the basis for this study. Chapter III elaborates ¡§the development of the electoral system for pre- PCC period before PRC was established¡¨
First of all, the Farmers¡¦ Association is introduced followed by the electoral system for the representatives for the Meeting of Labor, Farmer and Soldier and the electoral system for Senators. Afterwards, the electoral systems for People¡¦s Representative Conference and Political Consultative Conference are described. In Chapter IV, ¡§the development of the electoral system for PCC after the establishment of PRC¡¨ is detailed. According to the modifications or stipulation of electoral laws in PRC, the development is divided into five stages: a. the period of early political establishment (or called: The Period of First Electoral law), b. transition period (or called: The Period of Second Electoral law), c. reforms in an early period (or called: The Period of First time to modify the electoral law ) d. reforms in a middle period (or called: The Period of Second time to modify the electoral law ), e. period being ruled by law (or called: The Period of third time to modify the electoral law ). Chapter V explains ¡§the transition of electoral system and its association with PCC functions¡¨. Three aspects including legislation, budgeting and auditing as will as arrangements of human resources entitled to PCC are analyzed to prove that the changes of an electoral system indeed influence PCC function. In Chapter VI, ¡§disadvantages of PCC electoral system: an analysis on electoral theories ¡¨ are discussed. The disadvantage of the electoral theories both in China and in the in the occident are analyzed. following discussing that has mainland China found its disadvantages shown from the electoral system? In Chapter VII, This chapter is divided into six sections: ¡§multi-candidate election¡¨, ¡§occupational representation election¡¨, ¡§quota for rural villages¡¨, ¡§proxy voting¡¨, finally, reviews on the Community Party association with electoral system, and also discussing concerning about military and compatriot of Taiwan residing in mainland China. The Conclusions are set forth in Chapter VIII. The findings, suggestions and related consequential studies are raised here.
The writer considers that we have to study on the reforms of PCC first so as to further understand the situations of democratization in China. For studying the reforms of PCC, we have to find out what the electoral system of PCC in RPC is. It is expected that the progress of democratization in PRC and possible dilemmas encountered by it may be found in the process of the study.
