Contemporary Chinese Policing And The Modern State-Constructing

The modernity of modern state embodies for the construction and growth of nationality, democracy and rule of law. Contemporary China completed the national physical construction under the leadership of the communist party, and then to step on modern state-constructing path.The police is the government that can be seen obviously, and the most extensive and powerful representative of the state. And the policing reflects the state power of the operation rules and value orientation. The constucting of Modern state, whether the face of government centralized expanding or the face of political participation expanding, can be reflected in policing categories concretely and veritably. From 1949, China open the development process of police administration. This paper attempts to examine the relationship between the administration and state police, and builds a framework to study the modern state-constructing problem along the view of policing, based on the relationship of political discourse and governing idea, police administration system and civil rights, police strategy and the national ability, police administration organization and the actions of the government.Contemporary Chinese policing's narrative discourse emphasizes the CCP's leadership and the mass line in all times. And the core words of revolution, dictatorship, struggle, suppression have been replaced by the words of stable, law enforcement, service, and for the people. China's policing regulations, is vared from protecting police power, to keep the balance between police power and citizenship. Chinese policing's strategy experienced the change from Suppression of Counterrevolutionaries, take severe measures against grave illegal and criminal activities, take comprehensive measures to maintain law and order, Community Policing, to Crime prevention and control system, and then to cornerstone of safe construction. And the scientific level of policing organization has been imroved gradually, the organization's function of dictatorship, management and service developmented overall. These show that China is pushing for the reform of modern policing, and during this process, the modern state-constructing has been promoted greatly. The contemporary political development is not follow the western developed countries program, but to an authoritarian and humanism path With a strong Chinese characteristics, the atttempt of this is that how to adapt to the ever-changing social environment, keep the effective control of society always, and to strengthen the national political power.The Contemporary Chinese policing contains a strong authoritarian and humanism colour, and the whole country's ruling concept is also like this. It is the results of the comprehensive effect of factors contains socialist system, China local culture and the world trend. In developing countries, inorder to get economic performance, authoritarian may be approved by public. But the economic performance would be end eventually, so the authoritarian must be adjusted. The humanism can improve the government's moral image, and alleviation social confrontation to some extent, but the humanism approximate the rule of man, so it couldn't change the corruption which inherent to the officialdom.The modern political legitimacy is rooted in the democratic rule of law, and the permanent cure of modern state-constructing is to broaden the way of political participation, and implement democratic constitutionalism. In China, for the purpose of maintain social stability and public security of more than 10 billion people, "democratic state-constructing" may be select a makeshift way from rule by law to democracy, choosing the judicial independence as a breakthrough, then expanding the stocking of democracy, and gradually achieve the ideal state.
