Abstract

This analysis: (1) Identifies factors that motivate the Chinese public security apparatus to resist thoroughgoing implementation of the “Four Modernizations” program. (2) Weighs the acknowledged need for the rule of law to strengthen foreign investor confidence against the traditional concerns of the institutionalized public security system for social control. (3) Focuses on the implications for the public security system of the country's venture into “limited capitalism”, which is placing more people outside the pervasive network of factory work committees that regulate every aspect of the worker's life. (4) Attempts to take account of possible threats Chinese security officials may see to their role as the bulwark of social morality.
