China has sought and pursued various means of modernization since its entering the modern era launched by the Opium War. After coming into power, the Chinese Communist Party (“the CCP”) basically set its goal to be denial of, and overcoming the tradition while it establishes the Socialist ruling order; yet, the CCP has not excluded the possibility of simply modifying the tradition by means of Chinese acculturation of Socialism. This paper aims to analyze the CCP’s state ruling order, constructed after the founding of New China, separately in the aspect of the structure, of the resources, and of the elite, and aims eventually to grasp the characteristic and mechanism of the CCP’s state ruling order. Specifically, the Mao regime and the post-Mao regime are compared in the aspect of the ambivalence of Chinese modernization which includes both the denial and modification of the tradition. By then, the paper reveals and evaluates the change of the state ruling order caused by the two distinct regimes toward modernization. In context of the political development, the change of China’s state ruling order in the Mao era and the Reform and Open era can be summarized as follows; 1) the vagueness of boundaries in the governance system causes asymmetry and deadlock in the state-society relations; 2) the pluralization of governance resources fails to lead to the fundamental variance of the governance. causing a corrupt alliance of government and businesses, and possibly the unwanted stabilization of the ruling block and the widening of the scope of ruling; 3) in spite of pursuit of rationality in the governance system and the pluralization of governance resources, the CCP still hold the elite totalitarianism and for this use the inclusion and exclusion strategy; 4) the fearful history of divide of the nation and foreign invasions tend to motivate the CCP to insist on maintaining the unified political system.
