Will China become a multiparty democracy? The author posits that the more that Chinese elite thinking on China’s development and change reconciles the tension between Chinese nationalism and collectivist, family-like ethics on the one hand, and the western democratic ideals based on each self-seeking individual’s subjectivity on the other hand, the greater the chance that China’s political development will lead to a multiparty democracy. The author projects that within the next twenty years China will march on the path of democratization. Will China become a multiparty democracy?
