CGTN: People’s trust, the basis for rule of law in China

According to the 2022 Trust Barometer released by Edelman, China topped the list of trust among citizens in their government with an astonishing 91 percent of respondents saying they trusted the government, registering a year-on-year increase of nine percent and hitting a ten-year high. China also came first with an overall trust index of 83, up by 11 points as compared to 2021.

People’s trust is what underpins the development of the rule of law in China. It is also the key to the country’s rapid rise within the past few decades.

In November 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that national rejuvenation has been the greatest dream of the Chinese people since modern times began. The Chinese dream cannot be realized without institution building and rule of law. When the rule of law prevails, China will prosper; when it weakens, the country will be jeopardized.

China’s rule of law differs from the one based on the “separation of powers” in the West. At the heart of the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the CPC, serving as the anchor. In China, national power is the prerequisite for the rule of law and a powerful law-based government can be trusted by the people. Although in some other developing countries, inadequacies in national power have led to disastrous consequences for their respective citizens. China’s experience has demonstrated that without the CPC’s firm leadership, steady development of the rule of law would be impossible.

For leaders and cadres at different levels in the Party and political organs, however, “Which has more power, the Party or the Law?” is not a pseudo proposition. Power is a double-edged sword that if wielded within the framework of the rule of law, could serve the interests of the people. China’s law-based governance is integrated with rule-based governance of the Party to ensure that the Party governs the country in accordance with the constitutional law and that it governs itself in accordance with internal regulations.

As the Party has consolidated its leadership over the country, it has maintained the people’s support. From Mao Zedong’s “serve the people” to Xi Jinping’s “put people first,” these are the main principles guiding the development of rule of law in China and standing at the root of China’s success.
