The Importance of Business Executives in the Chinese Communist Party

There are many examples of business executives becoming vice governors or governors or party secretaries. From the perspective of the Chinese Communist Party, it really is important to have control of these business executives. So you have increasingly the party using this pool of very promising leaders and transferring them into government and party position. But from a business perspective, it doesn't make sense. And I think we need to look at that also in terms of research.
