Sign up with Google Sign up with FacebookQ: Can someone explain the difference between the Communist Party and the Government?
If I understand correctly, the Chinese system is divided between the Army, the Government and the Communist Party.
I'm not too clear on what the difference is between the Government and the Communist Party. Aren't all government members also members of the Party?
And who exactly controls the Army? Government or CCP?
Chinese political system is not divided.
CCP is the only ruling and governing body. All members of the Government and Army are also members of CCP.
You cannot be member of the Government or Army, if you are not member of the CCP first.
Army is a part of the Government.
Btw. its like square and rectangle
every square is rectangle
(every member of Government is CCP member )
but not every rectangle is a square
(not every CCP member is a member of Government)
