MILLENNIUM
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
China is on course to achieve most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
by 2015. Already there have been spectacular results in increasing life expectancy,
and decreasing illiteracy rates and poverty. The social security system is under
reform, expanding from local services in cities and rural areas into a nationwide
network. |

China's development model has been called the biggest
poverty reduction campaign in the world - according to
studies conducted by Qingua University, 75% of people across
the world who have been lifted out of poverty in the last
two decades live in China.
One reason is that the country's poverty alleviation
policies preceded the Millennium Declaration. Between 1978
and 2003, 220 million Chinese rose above the poverty line.
However, this success is undermined by the fact that, in
2003, the absolute number of Chinese living in poverty increased
and that this number is very large - about 200 million earn
less $1 per day. Furthermore, achievements on poverty are
offset by regional unevenness, gender, HIV/AIDS and environmental
issues which lag behind in progress and priority. |
For example, the large investment in
production and infrastructure has been concentrated on
the developed eastern regions of Shanghai, Tianjin, and
Guangdong. The majority of poor Chinese live in the
underdeveloped western regions of Shaanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan
and Gansu. There is also concern that intensification of
industrial agriculture in the west is degrading the environment
to the point at which yields will no longer sustain poverty-relief
policies. Indeed in some areas poverty is increasing once
again, not helped by new WTO regulations which mean loss
of jobs (China became a member in 2003).
Regional disparities encourage migration to more developed
eastern regions where minority migrant groups are met with
resentment and hostility. Nevertheless, these migrant workers
are able to return very considerable remittances to the
west; for example in 2003 migrant workers in Dongguan sent
home 14.24 billion yuan (US$1.71 billion). |

China, the world's oldest continuous surviving civilization,
outpaced the world in arts and sciences for centuries but
in the 19th and early 20th centuries the country was plagued
by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats and foreign
occupation. In 1949 the communist party under Mao Zedong
came to power, suspended relations with the west and imposed
severe social and economic controls – often resulting in
great loss of life. Deng Xiaoping succeeded Mao in 1976
and raised the 'bamboo' curtain and decentralised economic
decision-making. However, his rule is more remembered for
the Tiananmen Square massacre.
For the Han majority racial diversity is considered
a threat to national integrity and relations with China's
national minorities have always been tense - most notably
with the Uighurs, Tibetans and Hui peoples. |
China continues to be a one party state but with two
systems: Hong Kong and Macau operate as Special Administrative
Regions. Elections in the mainland are held every five
years, the most recent was concluded in 2003. All candidates
are approved by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the
parliament (National People's Congress) appoints the President,
currently Mr. Hu Jintao.
Since 1988 a system of local democracy has been permitted
in which village committees are directly elected by the
people. Until recently the innovation has been largely
successful but, as evidence of social disturbance in rural
China increases - often in protest at local corruption
over land sales, it is far from certain that village democracy
is the stepping stone for wider governance reform. |

The emergence of civil society is a product of modern China
but there is still a long way to go before it is truly
independent of the government. However, the recent broadcast
of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party (revealing
the truth behind the CCP and its brutal methods) originally
published by The Epoch Times has triggered a mass exodus
from the CCP. More than two million Chinese have already
quit the party and the departures continue at a rate of
20,000 a day. |
