The party has choices. Repression may be its \u201cdefault mode,\u201d but it is not its only option. Opening and proactively managing political change is an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>True, if they tried that \u2014 again \u2014 there is no guarantee that they could keep control of the process and, as in the Soviet Union, the reforms could cascade out of control, and they would fall from power anyway. So, they have a kind of Hobson\u2019s choice or Catch-22. They can repress and bring about their own demise or they can open up and still possibly bring about their own demise.<\/p>\n<p>But it is not quite so simple. That is, even if they lightened up on the repression, the other elements affecting the party, economy and society are already hemorrhaging to the point that they may not be able to reverse or halt the slide. [\u2026] That said, my views about the protracted process of atrophy and decline of the party are more nuanced than the catchy headline used by The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026] Chinese politics since Mao has undergone a series of opening-closing cycles (known in Chinese as fang and shou). Normally the open phases last about five to six years and the closing cycles two to three years. We are currently in year seven of \u201cclosing.\u201d An optimist would say that we are well overdue for an opening period! I would like to be optimistic, but my analytical judgment, unfortunately, tells me otherwise.
