“…Zhu Rongji, the premier at the time, was extremely suspicious of grandiose and ineffective government programs. However, since the turn of the 21st century, long-range plans and industrial policies have made a strong comeback (Chen and Naughton 2016). China today operates with scores of national plans, and literally hundreds of local government plans.…”

It has been 40 years since Deng Xiaoping broke dramatically with Maoist ideology and the Maoist variant of socialism. Since then, China has been transformed. Forty years ago, in 1978, China was unquestionably a socialist economy of the familiar and well-studied “command economy” variant, even though it was more decentralized and more loosely planned than its Soviet progenitor. Twenty years ago—that is, by the late 1990s—China had completely discarded this type of socialism and was moving decisively to a market economy. China today is quite different both from the command economy of 40 years ago, and from the “Wild West Capitalism” of 20 years ago. Throughout these enormous changes, China has always officially claimed to be socialist. Does the “socialist” label make sense when applied to China today?

“…As a result, it makes the non-SOE manager market more competitive than the SOE manager market. SOEs in a top-down approach (Chen and Naughton, 2016). These indicators are specified in terms of the quantity of patent applications instead of their quality, the latter being hard to specify ex ante.…”

“…China is one of the prominent examples of an authoritarian regime that actively engages citizens in consultation . Since the 1980s, the Chinese government has introduced a host of participatory procedures to reach out to diverse segments of society, such as business and professional elites (Manion, ; Truex, ), experts (Chen & Naughton, ), and nongovernmental organizations (Teets, , ; Weller, , ). These consultative practices were officially endorsed by both Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping (Dickson, ; Horsley, ).…”

Authoritarian responsiveness: Online consultation with “issue publics” in China

In recent years, public consultation has become a standard feature of policymaking in authoritarian regimes. While previous studies found evidence of government responsiveness to citizens' demands, they did not measure responsiveness in terms of real policy change. This article presents the first systematic analysis of Chinese central government policy responsiveness to consultative input. In 2008, the Chinese government unveiled a blueprint for health‐care reform, inviting the public to post their opinions online. Having collected 27,899 online comments, the government subsequently published a revised draft. This article analyzes a random sample of 2% of this corpus of comments, assessing the effect of comments on revisions while controlling for both media content and bureaucratic preferences. The findings demonstrate that public comments have an impact upon policy revisions and suggest that the Chinese government is more responsive to street‐level implementers than to other social groups.
