How the CCP has Determined its Successors: The Third Echelon’s Construction Process and Signification

Authors: Hansol Kim

This article discusses the construction process and results of the Third Echelon of cadres. This was the first generation of the cadre reserve system, which has served as the CCP's cadre recruitment mechanism. It also examines how the CCP resolved various cadre management challenges after the Cultural Revolution, and a generational shift from old and less-educated revolutionaries to young and better-educated professionals who could implement the Reform and Opening Up policies. Through a three-year nationwide cadre selection project, also known as the Third Echelon Construction, the CCP fostered more than 110,000 cadres, from the county level to the provincial level, and these cadres played a crucial role in both economic growth and regime maintenance between 1989 and 1991, when the socialist bloc around it crumbled.
