Stein Ringen

Stein Ringen (born July 5, 1945) is a Norwegian sociologist and political scientist.

[4] Ringen creates a word "controlocracy" to describe Party's governance through censorship and stability management etc.

It does not depend on commanding most people in their daily lives and is able to mostly rely on their acquiescence and self-censorship.

[4] From Ringen's point of view, "China Dream" is a dangerous ideology promoted by the Party because it makes national greatness and individual happiness inseparable.

[4] Based on the fact that China's economic growth is slowing down and social freedom is deteriorating, Ringen predicts that China may become a new Nazi state under Communist Party's consolidating power and absolute rule.
