11-6-4-2-5 Authorial argument, database judgment, institutional comparison, policy and law, and applications for public communication CHAPTER 12 Party-State Corruption and the Plunder of Power Power as Wealth, Hereditary Privilege, and the Privatization of Public Resources (1949–2012) CORE ARGUMENT OF THIS CHAPTER. This chapter shows that Party-state corruption is not the moral degeneracy of a few cadres but the institutional product of power unconstrained by the ballot, the courts, auditing, or the media: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) governs lawlessly from above the law, abuses public authority, and is deeply corrupt. Official position can be exchanged for land, projects, loans, licenses, and judicial protection; the rent-seeking of power, the buying and selling of office, and privileged treatment spread to families, secretaries, and associates, even breeding dissolute living and sexual depravity; anti-corruption, in turn, is often used for factional purges and the reconcentration of power. This study will present concretely how public resources are privatized, how corrupt gains are handed down across generations, and how whistleblowers are suppressed. CONCRETE ENTRY POINT. Ordinary people queue for medical care and go into debt for housing and education, while the privileged enjoy special provisioning, dedicated hospital wards, bodyguards, and lifelong benefits; how power turns into wealth must be explained through the ledgers, the projects, and the chains of connection. SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION BOUNDARY. This chapter includes only material directly related to “Party-State Corruption and the Plunder of Power: Power as Wealth, Hereditary Privilege, and the Privatization of Public Resources (1949–2012)” — its ideas, institutions, events, implementation, victims, and lines of responsibility. Terms used in the catalog such as “evil, terror, plunder, enslavement, deception, and crime” are openly stated value judgments or characterizations of mechanism; they must be supported by verifiable fact, and every major figure must be recorded with its source, its basis of counting, and its range. Sharpness does not mean lowering the standard; it means refusing to use neutral language to conceal concrete harm Folder · PG-E
