This paper aims to answer: First, what are the differences between factors for winning a seat at the PC and a seat at the CPPCC, respectively? Second, is there any difference between factors that have a significant impact on winning a seat in the county-township level and the prefecture-and-above level of the PC or CPPCC? Based on empirical findings, I have coined the term \u201cwealthy-gentry politics\u201d to conceptualize the fact that behaving as a member of the socially responsible \u201cgentry\u201d is playing an increasingly significant role in the higher level and in the PC compared to the lower level and the CPPCC, while economic wealth is just a threshold and party membership is not a guarantee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keyword:<\/strong> wealthy-gentry politics; private entrepreneurs; Chinese Parliament; political participation<\/p>\n<p>Citation info:<\/p>\n<p>Lu, Peng. 2014, \u201cWealthy-Gentry Politics: How are Capitalists in China Chosen for the \u201cHouses\u201d?\u201d, <em>Australian Journal of Political Sciences<\/em>, Vol. 49, No. 2, pp. 157-173<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Download Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/AJPS-Wealthy-gentry-politics_Peng-Lu.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AJPS Wealthy gentry politics_Peng Lu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-717 \" src=\"http:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/AJPS.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/AJPS.png 557w, https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/AJPS-213x300.png 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing individual private entrepreneurs to be members of the People\u2019s Congress (PC) or the Chinese People\u2019s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is one of the most important mechanisms for \u201ccooperative capitalism\u201d in China&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":742,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=715"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":992,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715\/revisions\/992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peng.baiji.org.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
