Abstract

The demise of state socialism in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s left China the most notable member of a dwindling cohort of Communist Party regimes. This chapter surveys the Chinese response to the collapse of state socialism throughout most of the former communist bloc as well as the Chinese assessment of these regimes in the process of transformation. I am primarily concerned to evaluate the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) analysis of the relevance of these events for the Chinese leadership, in making policy decisions and interpreting the operation of the international system.1 Two decades ago, Gilbert Rozman noted that the Chinese debate about Soviet socialism served as a surrogate means of discussing policy choices facing the Chinese leadership.2 This tradition continues in China today.
