From Party Managing Cadres to Party Managing Talents:Political Meritocracy or Economic Performance?
Talents are so important for China to improve its competiveness in the world as one of the largest economy.Traditionally the talents (except talents in the civil servant system) are managed by businesses rather than a political organization.Nowadays, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is directly involved in managing talents, leading the shift from the the party managing cadres to the the party managing talents.The party managing talent aims to create a favorable environment to attract talents for the Chinese economy development, which is different from the party managing cadres that the CCP holds control of the selection, recruitment arid promotion of cadres.Party managing talent policy is actively promoted by CCP, in the meantime CCP created systems for implementations which included institutional settings, staffing and financial investment of the CCP etc.This study aims to explore the implications of Party managing talents policies, deeply understand the implicit political motivations behind this policy.We studied the content of 216 talent policy documents promulgated by Chinese Central Government focusing on their objectives.We also studied three key areas for the oversea talents under the umbrella of the 1000 Talents Plan: 1) their working organizations, 2) their performance, 3) their accessibility to the political ambitions.We found that logic of party managing talents transformations is CCPs ambitions in economy growth.Through talent introductions, CCP intends to create an innovation system and upgrade the Chinese economic development mode.The CCPs efforts in transformations also enhanced the administration capacity and social stability, but no evidence show the transformation help China change to meritocracy politics.
