On one hand, health care in China has improved dramatically
since 1949. Major diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and
scarlet fever have been brought under control. Life expectancy
has more than doubled and infant mortality has dropped
significantly. On the other hand, the incidence of cancer,
cerebrovascular disease, and heart disease has increased
to the extent that these have become the leading causes
of death. Economic reforms initiated in the late 1970s
fundamentally altered methods of providing health care;
the collective medical care system was gradually replaced
by a more individual-oriented approach.
Official statistics suggest a low rate of HIV/AIDS prevalence
in China. But the conditions now widely recognised
as necessary to prevent the disease taking hold - allocation
of adequate funds by central government, mainstreamed awareness
programmes and an active role for civil society - have not
been established and the risk of a serious epidemic in China
remains. There is now growing concern over the high levels
of sexual ignorance amongst young people. |
ECONOMY
Since 1978, China has been engaged in an effort to
reform its economy. The Chinese leadership has sharply
reduced the role of ideology in economic policy. Political
and social stability, economic productivity, and public
welfare are considered paramount. In these years, the government
has emphasized raising personal income and consumption
and introducing new management systems to help increase
productivity. The government also has focused on foreign
trade as a major vehicle for economic growth.

As a member of the WTO and APEC, with the world's largest
hydropower potential and domestic market, China is being
courted by the major economic nations for investment. Entry
into the WTO has increased China's international reach and
highly competitive Chinese goods such as textiles are swamping
world markets. Tourism has also increased since entry into
the WTO and looks to grow heading up to the Olympics.
Despite China's impressive economic development during
the past two decades, reforming the state enterprise sector
and modernizing the banking
system remain major hurdles. Nevertheless a measure of its
economic success is that the fate of the US economy is widely
felt to hinge upon China's policy for valuing its currency. |
The privatisation of the Chinese economy is provoking
conflict in the countryside as local authorities sell off
land, on which peasants have lived and worked for decades.
These peasants have also been the victim of the hukou system
of household registrations which constrains their rights
to move to the cities for work. The massive gulf in prosperity
between urban and rural China has been acknowledged in
recent speeches by the leadership who promise a fairer
distribution of the proceeds of economic growth.
ENVIRONMENT |
 |
 |
China's environmental problems are gargantuan because of
the sheer numbers of people who await their rights to the
benefits of an industrialized economy. The country's environmental
sustainability is widely threatened by urban air pollution,
acid rain, water shortages, water pollution from untreated
wastes, deforestation, estimated loss of one-fifth of agricultural
land since 1949 to soil erosion and economic development,
desertification, and trade in endangered species.
The controversial Three Gorges Dam project has gone
ahead despite the refusal of the World Bank to fund it
over concerns that it will eventually displace a total
of 1.2 million people. The loss to the environment has
been catastrophic and it is yet to be seen whether or not
this exercise in flood control (a huge priority for the
government) will work. |
| Of increasing concern is how
the environmental impact of the country's growth is becoming
ever more global. Although China is a signatory to the
Kyoto agreement, it has no obligation to control emissions
and its ongoing construction of dozens of coal-fired
power stations is ringing alarm bells for climate change.
And China's demand for soya (used to feed livestock)
contributes more to the clearance of the Amazon rainforest
than the logging, cattle farming and mining combined.
The Harbin chemical spill in 2005 is the most recent
example, its potential pollution of Russian water supplies
aggravated by the initial instinct of Chinese officials
to cover up the incident. |
