Socialist constitutionalism with Chinese characteristics reflects China&#8217;s history and its unique circumstances, but also conforms with the general principles of transnational constitutionalism. The Chinese constitutional order is grounded on a principal of separation of powers that distinguishes between an administrative power assigned to the government and a political authority assigned to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Administrative constitutional power is organized within the State Constitution; the authority of the CCPis acknowledged in the Constitution but framed by the ideological premises on which the political order is founded\u2014under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory the important thought of &#8216;Three Represents&#8217; and the concept of scientific development. This paper considers the development of constitutional rule of law theory with Chinese characteristics by considering its application in two related but distinct legal contexts&#8211; laojiao (the system of administrative detentions, re-education through labor, or \u201c\u52b3\u52a8\u6559\u517b\u201d) and shuanggui (the system of intra-CCP discipline of CCP cadres \u53cc\u89c4). The paper will first briefly review the emerging framework of the Chinese constitutional order, represented by the respective roles of the state apparatus and the CCP.\u00a0 The paper then will review the laojiao and shuanngui systems, the former applicable to all individuals and the later applicable only to CCP members. It will suggest why laojiao is constitutionally suspect but shuanggui is constitutionally sound under the current constitutional framework. Shuanggui deals with political, rather than administrative breaches that touch on the integrity of the role of the CCP as Party in Power.\u00a0 It is in this sense beyond the competence of the administrative authorities represented by the government apparatus and relates to the constitution of the CCP rather than the constitution of the state and its administrative authority over the people. As a consequence, the shuanggui system is not subject to the same constitutional difficulties as laojiao. The paper ends with a suggestion of the ways in which shuanggui might benefit from scientific development under China\u2019s rule of law constitutional system in the way it is administered.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State and Party in the Scientific Development of a Legitimate Rule of Law Constitutional System in China:\u00a0 The Example of Laojiao and Shuanggui (June 2013) (With Keren Wang) Presentation at the International Conference on \u201cThe Rule of Law With Chinese Characteristics\u201d in Transition.\u00a0 City University of Hong Hong, Hong Kong SAR, June 6, 2013.
