Social Transformation In China Between Cadres And Masses

Under the governance of Communist Party of China, cadres, in representative of the Party, are in control of and exert power. The relation between cadres and people is the important part of the relation between the Party and people, while the relation between the Party and people directly embodies the relation between cadres and people. As the most important one in our social relations, the harmonious relation between cadres and people will bring about the harmonious, steady and healthy development of the society, and stable authority position of the Party.Arranging the theory of the relation between cadres and people narrated in Marxism and the western political science, and summing up the practical experience of dealing with the relation between cadres and people in Soviet Union and western countries, the thesis expounds fundamental connotation and ideal situation of the relation between cadres and people based on the Chinese reality. The relation between cadres and people refers to mutual connection developed during working, production and life between the leaders and managers who are in control of certain public power and public resources and the people in every level who are under the lead ship. The nature of it is the benefit, position and authority relation. Among them, benefit relation is the essence of the relation between cadres and people; the position relation is the reflection of benefits distributed in the society. Authority comes to being under the request of the interest, and it is a kind of compelling power to gain and maintain the benefits of certain social main part. In the condition of socialism, the ideal relation between cadres and people is a condition of equal treatment, mutual respect and trust, and harmony.Exploring the development process of the relation between cadres and people during the previous 30 years, summarizing the experience of how the Party understood and dealt with the relation between cadres and people, the thesis puts more emphasis on the new changes between cadres and people during 30 years of implementing Reform-and- Opening policy. The situation of the relation between cadres and people varies on different historical stages. At the early period of Foundation of China, the overall relation between cadres and people is harmonious and they share both the happiness and difficulties. At the early period of the socialist construction, the relation between cadres and people met ups and downs. During Cultural Revolution, the relation between cadres and people was seriously distorted. Since 1978, our country has entered the unprecedented social revolution period, that is, social reforming period. Also, it is called China modernization period from 1978 to 2050. Because of the quick development during Reform -and- Opening period, there appear new changes,such as, revolution of economic system, change of ownership structure, diversification of distribution patterns, profound changes in population composition, family composition, employment composition, occupational composition, framework of organization, class stratum, income distribution composition, urban-rural composition and regional composition, complete adjustment of patterns of interest and conspicuous display of the benefits of every class and individuals, profound change of views and thoughts. With the obvious increasing diversity between different districts, classes, and inter-generations, it is more difficult to reach a consensus. Overall, the relation between cadres and people is developing healthily, harmoniously. However, the reality of diversion makes it more difficult to build a close relationship between cadres and people and brings about some uncertain factors. At some districts, in some specific periods, under certain conditions and for some specific work, the relation between cadres and people is seriously not harmonious. It can be seen form the following facts: the income gap between cadres and people is enlarging which leads to complaint from the people; trust crisis between cadres and people becomes more severe; cadres and people are becoming alien; cadres and people is conflicting; benefits distribution between cadres and people is deepening; contradict crisis is strengthening; corruption is more serious.Based on the analysis of the cause of problems in the relation between cadres and people during the conformation period of the society, the thesis proposes the basic train of thoughts and strategies of closing the relation between cadres and people. The problems existing in the relation between cadres and people are caused by both internal cause and inner cause. The fundamental cause lies in unequal and unfair distribution of benefits and power. In the meanwhile, people's social behaviors are dominated by social psychology, and social psychology is the internal factor of influencing the relation between cadres and people. The benefit factor that influences the relation between cadres and people is the imbalance of benefits distribution and the block of communication channel. The authority factor is that social policies made by the government are deviating from public interests, and illegal operation of public power and lack of supervision. Social psychology factor is that people tend to be impatient and impetuous recently; belief crisis and the feeling of unfair are strengthening. Therefore, to realize the harmony between cadres and people, we should deal with the interests relation between cadres and people properly, and stick to the standpoint of people's interests are the most supreme. To gain trust from people by distributing benefits properly, we should build an interests developing system, a smooth communication system, a proper interest distribution system and a perfect interest compensation system. We should handle properly the power relation between cadres and people so that we can gain trust from the people by integrity. All levels of cadres should stick to the idea of"all the authority belongs to the people"and take holding the reins of government as the qualification of seeking benefits for the people, and make great efforts to do a good job in leading and supporting people to be the master of the nation. We should understand and handle the social psychology factors properly to build a social psychology environment which is beneficial for harmonious development of the relation between cadres and people.
