Is China Suffering from Nepotism?
In the TV program called "Political Animal", the famous BBC host Paxman pointed out that the first rule of political success is to choose the correct parents. It makes sense when looking at the fact that the most influential political families of U.S. are the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and the Bush family. Former President Clinton recently resigned and left the White House. His wife Hillary became the Senator. It is common that family takes control of business or political parties in some culture. This phenomenon not only exists in the U.S., but also existed in China for several thousands of years. This article will discuss the cause of nepotism, the most common type start to and how it affects China. Only when people address this issue will the society improve. Above all, even though China is relatively fair, it still suffers from nepotism.
The Cause of Nepotism
Nepotism mainly resulted from how ancient Chinese use connection as a tool to benefit them. According to the article “Red Aristocrats (20)”, Nozomu Hayashi (2012) showed that an officeholder said nepotism had become Chinese tradition in the ancient time. It means that nepotism has existed for a long time, and has been continuing throughout history.
Since ancient times, China had been a feudal and patriarchal society. Chinese high school students who did not score well on exams had to build connections with families who worked in the government, for example, they married the girl from rich family with high social status. They only asked for help from their relatives and friends. Gradually the society formed a nepotism phenomenon. Also sometimes people need to be protected by the parents, relatives and friends when they encounter problems. Getting problems help and working with friends
