As a system that is symbolic of contemporary China,the politicallegal system refers to the governance structure that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China(CPC),law-enforcement and judicial agencies and various governance subjects jointly promote a peaceful China initiative and build a China under the rule of law.The historical evolution from the classical rites-law tradition to the modern political-legal system reflects the consistent political focus and ideological exploration of China’s politicians and thinkers about the national rise and fall.The basic structure of the political-legal system can be divided into three principal groups of relationships,namely,the relationships between various law-enforcement and judicial agencies,the relationships between law-enforcement and judicial agencies and external bodies,and the relationships between the CPC and law-enforcement and judicial agencies.The normative principles concerning these three principal groups of relationships constitute the basic rules for the institutional design and practical operation of the political-legal system.The normative principles of the first group of relationships relate to self-integration,division of responsibilities,mutual cooperation and mutual restraint.The normative principles of the second group of relationships involve prioritizing social autonomy,primary-level governance and front-end governance.The normative principles of the third group of relationships are concerned with macro-leadership,centralized leadership and leadership under the rule of law.The analysis of these three sets of normative principles shows that China’s political-legal system not only follows the universal law and common mechanism of modern national governance,but also accumulates the local experience and unique wisdom of China’s governance.
