On November 12, 2012, Qiushi, a journal of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, published an article titled, “The Essence and Characteristics of the ‘China Model.’” The article summarized three basic characteristics of the “China Model”: 1) The Chinese Communist Party holds the core leadership position. 2) The state-owned economy is dominant. 3) The government plays the guiding role in the development of the national economy.
The article concluded, “The success of the ‘China Model’ is due to the fact that (China) has unswervingly adhered to the Party’s leadership and the socialist system.”
