      the money and power

      Power maybe, but any Chinese person who is capable enough to rise through the ranks of the Party would make far more money working in the private sector. Most of the rank and file work regular jobs in addition to their Party responsibilities, and even Xi Jinping - who lives in a nice house in a gated community - has got nothing on top level politicians elsewhere in the world (or top level donors to their political campaigns).
