A Superior Way for the Transforming China： The Ultimate Ideal or a Feasible Solution？

The restoration of political radicalism in China can be attributed to a number of factors; similarly, the successful construction of a civil society to un- tangle the mess caused by the transformation does not rely on spontaneous fulfill- ment of the society itself, for it involves more factors than have been realized and discussed, such as the state （i.e., the government）, the ruling party, society, and the context of globalization. Without a comprehensive study on the cause of this problem, any prescriptive suggestion or discussion on how to go beyond radicalism is no more than an idealistic path for China＇s political reconstruction.
