When ‘impure elements’ and ‘opportunists’ rushed into the Beijing’s party organization in the initial stage of the establishment of PRC, the CCP cautioned against the problems that uncontrolled expansion of party organization would cause, and took a cautious attitude toward building the party organization. At the same time, they enhanced their power of control toward the party members by institutionalizing the operation process of the party and by rectifying the members through intensive education and inspection. In this way, the CCP was able to lay the groundwork for the effective execution of power throughout the city. To make the ruling system of Beijing to work effectively, the CCP had to make the party organization immune from corruption and closely attached to the mass. The CCP tried to accomplish this goal by careful expansion and institutionalized management of party organization, accompanied by party-controlled rectification movement. The orientation and method of party building in the early PRC Beijing, showed a sharp contradiction to the ones that were implemented until the civil war period in the rural base areas. Unlike the rural areas, the CCP strived to adopt a highly mechanized system of party operation in the initial stage of party building in Beijing, and carried out a party-controlled ‘top-down’ rectification movement. The rectification campaign of Beijing in early PRC was fundamentally a well organized self-renovation controlled from above. Through this process, the CCP abandoned the ‘rural revolution way’ in the city, which is characterized by the voluntary mass mobilization from the bottom, and instead established a ‘top-down mobilization system’.
