Abstract
Since the implementation of reform and open policy in China Communist and market, the ex-general secretary Deng Xiaoping has transferred the highest execute power from president to general secretary as well as set up the structure of “collective leadership,” for avoiding the chaos resulted from the charismatic leadership and dictatorship in the ruling period of Mao Zedong. Nowadays, the collective leadership has operated in China politics through three generations, and will continue functioning from Hu Jintao to the fourth gereration, which lead by Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang. Now, the academia of Chinese politics has categorized the five group, Crown prince party, Shanghai clique, Secretary clique, Communist youth league, Returned scholars (haiguipai) to describe the interaction among different politicians and parties in centre government. Among them, Communist youth league is the most remarkable party and has continued expand their influence in China politics by the increasing numbers in the member of Central committee. Although Hu Jintao, who had make the effort to send many Communist youth league cadres into the committee since 17th CPC National Congress, claimed that he would withdraw from any official position at the end of 18th CPC National Congress, people still believe that the Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang, who has the same origin as Hu, will lead the Communist youth league and achieve more expansion of the power in Central committee compared to the former generation. Noticed this phenomenon, this research tries to use “Path Dependence Theory” to analyst the influence of Communist youth league in China politics. According to the qualitative analysis, my research figured out that Communist youth league remain high intensity of historical spported by such features like younger age and higer education that are adapted “Four Modernaization (Sihua)”. In addition, according to the quantitative analysis, my research transferred the list of Central committee from 16th to 18th CPC National Congress into six classification of variables.
