Administrative law in the People's Republic of China was virtually non-existent before the economic reform era initiated by Deng Xiaoping.

Deng Xiaoping outmaneuvered Mao's anointed successor chairman Hua Guofeng, and gradually emerged as the de facto leader over the next few years.

Deng Xiaoping was the Paramount Leader of China from 1978 to 1992, although he never became the head of the party or state, and his influence within the Party led the country to significant economic reforms.

From the time of Deng Xiaoping onwards, there has been a drift of focus towards a Marxist-inspired, moderated by Conficianism, nationalist perspective, and consideration of China's contemporary international status became of paramount importance in historical studies.

The Communist Party's ideology was redefined under Deng Xiaoping to incorporate principles of market economics, and the corresponding reforms enabled rapid and sustained economic growth.

The party's organizational structure was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and rebuilt afterwards by Deng Xiaoping, who subsequently initiated " Socialism with Chinese characteristics " and brought all state apparatuses back under the rule of the CPC.

During the 1980s and 1990s there was a Central Advisory Commission established by Deng Xiaoping which consisted of senior retired leaders, but with their death this has been abolished since 1992.

Following the death of Mao in 1976, however, the CPC under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping moved towards Socialism with Chinese characteristics and instituted Chinese economic reform.

Deng's vision for economic success and a new socialist market model became entrenched in the Party constitution in 1997 as Deng Xiaoping Theory.

Deng Xiaoping ( Pinyin: Dèng Xiǎopíng, ; 22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997 ) was a politician and reformist leader of the Communist Party of China who led China towards a market economy.

** Lan Kham Deng, King of Lan Xang 1416 – 1428 ( d. 1428 )

When Empress Dowager Deng died, Emperor An ( r. 106 – 125 CE ) was convinced by the accusations of the eunuchs Li Run ( 李閏 ) and Jiang Jing ( 江京 ) that Deng and her family had planned to depose him.

During the Cultural Revolution ( 1966 – 1976 ), Hu was purged, recalled, and purged again, following the political career of Deng.

When Deng was temporarily recalled to Beijing, from 1973 – 1976, he also recalled Hu ; but, when Deng was purged again, in 1976, Hu was also purged.

Before he transferred power to a younger generation of leaders, Jiang had his theory of Three Represents written into the Party's constitution, alongside Marxism – Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory at the 16th CPC Congress in 2002.

The theory of Three Represents was believed by many political analysts to be Jiang's effort at extending his vision to Marxist – Leninist principles, and therefore elevating himself alongside previous Chinese Marxist philosophers Mao and Deng.

After Deng was rehabilitated later that year, Chen led the attack on the Maoist era at the November – December 1978 CPC CC Work Conference, raising the sensitive " six issues ": the purges of Bo Yibo, Tao Zhu, Wang Heshou and Peng Dehuai ; the 1976 Tiananmen Incident ; and, Kang Sheng's errors.

Deng Tuo and Wu Lengxi served as editor-in-chief from 1948 – 1958 and 1958 – 1966, respectively, but the paper was in fact controlled by Mao's personal secretary Hu Qiaomu.
