China's Governance: Political Reform in a Turbulent Environment [Elektronische Daten] [John P. Burns] In 1989, after 40 years in power, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is faced with its worst crisis since the Cultural Revolution (1966-69) over the issue of reform of the Stalinist political system. Arguing that political reform was the necessary pre-condition for further change in China's economy, the reform wing of the CCP confronted conservatives who feared that the Party was losing its monopoly of Chinese politics. The result was that thousands of unarmed civilians in Central Beijing were killed by the army in the J early hours of 4 June 1989.
