摘要

中国共产党(CPC)在2021年7月完成了其存在的100周年，过去70多年来一直是中国的执政党。百年纪念使中国共产党重新思考其身份、合法性和权力所面临的挑战。本文选取了中国共产党在百年纪念背景下发表的演讲和评论，分析了中国共产党如何利用其历史话语来表达其关切并促进其今天的利益。它还探讨了这些对党的历史和在中国的作用的解释如何转化为党国中日益增长的例外论。文章认为，尽管经常呼吁“实事求是”，但对权力的压倒一切的渴望再次将中国共产党推向教条主义的道路。

Towards Exceptionalism: The Communist Party of China and its Uses of History

The Communist Party of China (CPC) completed 100 years of its existence in July 2021, with the last 70 plus years spent as the ruling party in China. The centenary occasioned a fresh consideration by the CPC of the challenges to its identity, legitimacy and power. Using select speeches and commentaries produced by the CPC in the context of the centenary, this article analyses how the Party deploys discourses on its history to articulate its concerns and promote its interests today. It also looks at how these interpretations of the Party’s history and role in China translate into a growing sense of exceptionalism in the Party-state. The article argues that despite frequent calls to ‘seek truth from facts’, an overriding desire to retain power is once again pushing the CPC down the path towards dogmatism.

期刊介绍： China Report promotes the free expression and discussion of different ideas, approaches and viewpoints which assist a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours. A quarterly journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies, it attempts to provide a fresh approach which goes beyond the strictly utilitarian area studies without becoming antiquarian. Launched in 1964, China Report has, over the years, widened its interests and aims and transformed itself into a scholarly journal that seeks a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours - particularly their cultures, their development and their relations with China. It is an indispensable source of information on China, its society and culture.
