　　the former requires the government to represent the interests of the whole of society， while the latter requires the government to represent partial interests and serves as a platform for the competition ofinterests.　　Selecting capable and upright officials is important to all governments.　　There are many ways of selecting political leaders. Majority voting popular in the West and merit-based selection adopted by China are the two most common methods in contemporary times. The former is widely believed to be more advanced than the latter， but actually it is not. They both simply came into being under particular social conditions. The biggest problem of　　merit-based selection is that its evaluation standard is easy to manipulate. But majority voting has three bigger problems： first， why should those who voted "no" obey the referendum winner? Second， why should the minority obey the majority who might not represent the most correct or wise opin-ions? Third， designating two can. didates is logically irrational， which means the absolute minoriry is forced to lose. The election system matures under the yoke of two harsh conditions： the people widely recognize this game rule; and people form the habit of obeying established rules. The two conditions are both particular yet not inescapable historical and cultural traditions.　　In societies divided into classes and interest groups， parties representing their own interest groups compete for power as a matter of course. But in a society like China's that is not manipulated by classes or interest groups， general election through competition may not be considered rational. Since anaent times， the cohesion of Chinese society was　ensured by the "advanced" governing group holding people-oriented Confucian beliefs. 　　……

作者简介

China is moving toward the center of the international arena through its miraculously rapid development, drawing the increasing attention of world public opinion. Is China really ready for this? Obviously, China must rethink the problems and challenges it faces and the direction of its future development, as well as how to respond to international concern and how best to make its own voice heard.

    This book is a collection of analyses of China's current situation and predictions for the future by preeminent contemporary scholars, covering a full range of topics including political reform, international relationships, economic restructuring, environmental protection and sustainability, urbanization, construction and future prospects. In addition to the critical subjects and the high-profile authors, the value of this book lies in the very attitude of facing problems squarely, and the sharp insight and wisdom to understand contemporary China.
