Abstract: The co-optation of businesspeople is an interesting phenomenon in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) institutionalization. Involvement of the rich and wealthy not only contradicts the party’s ideology of egalitarianism but is also strictly prohibited due to the Tiananmen incident in 1989. However, because of the massive development of Chinese social and economical landscape, businesspeople emerge as an important social base of civil society. They possess abundant economical resource and hold an important role in the Chinese society as capital owner. The CCP is aware of this situation and therefore attempt to involve businesspeople in political process through co-optation. The CCP implements co-optation to involve businesspeople in political process. The cooptation was recognized since the 16th National Party Congress in 2002, during the Jiang Zemin administration. As China’s economic and political setting become more complex, ideology alone is not enough to sustain the CCP’s power. A new structurized mechanism was required to guarantee that it remains as a legitimate ruler. The co-optation is considered as an attempt of the CCP to assure regime’s survival as well as to strengthen its legitimacy. The skripsi will discuss how and why the CCP co-opts businesspeople into the party. Keywords: co-optation, Chinese Communist Party, businessman, legitimacy.
