A state of emergency is a governmental declaration that may suspend some normal functions of the executive, legislative and judicial powers, alert citizens to change their normal behaviors, or order government agencies to implement emergency preparedness plans.

It can also be used as a rationale for suspending rights and freedoms, even if guaranteed under the constitution. Such declarations usually come during a time of natural or man made disaster, during periods of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war or situation of international or internal armed conflict. Justitium is its equivalent in Roman law.

China is in an state of emergency. The state of emergency started with the mayhem as the Qing dynasty died out and ended monarchy.

It continued with nation-building under Mao. When they discovered Mao's system had sent the country to the dogs and they were fast going to go Balkanized.
China would fail and would split into several smallish states a la USSR.

To preserve the nation construct aka China, they kept the state of emergency.

You need a historical perspective.
