If China's economy grows as fast for the next 20 years as it has for
|
|
the past 14, it will be the biggest economy on earth:
|
|
|
|
I feel that China's drastic improvements over the last 14 years are
|
|
overwhelming, with their Real GNP growing at a rate of 9% a year, which
|
|
means by, 1994, China's economy will match the performance of countries
|
|
like Japan and Taiwan. China's standard of living has also increased, and
|
|
the number of people who were considered absolutely poor decreased
|
|
approximately 63%. I feel with the vast amount of people living in China,
|
|
and the economic activity booming like it is, China's exports will continue
|
|
to grow, as well as the standard of living. This will create more revenue,
|
|
and more capital for them to produce even more goods and become even
|
|
larger, prospering as one of the biggest economies on the earth. I also
|
|
feel that China should try to overcome its corrupt system and steadily move
|
|
into a free enterprise system.
|
|
|
|
Competition has been the key to China's success:
|
|
I believe that competition has been the key to China's success. When
|
|
Mr. Deng opened the free market, it brought the first signs of the farmers
|
|
becoming more rich since the 1950s. His political genius allowed the
|
|
farmers to become rich. He also introduced the "open-door policy" which is
|
|
proving to be very beneficial, as they follow in the footsteps of their
|
|
strong rich neighbours. Mr. Perkins believed four conditions must be met
|
|
for a market system to work well in reforming centrally planned economy. I
|
|
believe if China continues to improve its productivity, and the number of
|
|
monopolies decrease as studies show, China will move into a capitalist
|
|
front only to prosper. An Inflationary crisis within two years will test
|
|
the government's reformist mettle:
|
|
|
|
The 14th Communist Party Congress, set the official seal on the fourth
|
|
wave of economic reform. Market Splintering: l feel that China should
|
|
allow labour to become freer, because this will allow workers to be better
|
|
suited towards their jobs, and therefor they workers will be more
|
|
effective. Infrastructure: l believe that China has to build a railway
|
|
system, so it will not have the highest utilisation rates for freight
|
|
traffic. l also believe that China should give incentives for students to
|
|
enter higher education. Government Finance: l think that the government
|
|
should stop making up for losses of state-owned firms, and stop paying
|
|
subsidies to these firms and consumers, hence the budget gap would be more
|
|
than closed.
|
|
|
|
Why privatisation may not be needed:
|
|
Privatisation in many cases may not be needed because the government
|
|
supports many businesses and purchases their products. If the company's are
|
|
open to the market, many jobs will be lost. If foreign ownership buys it
|
|
up, many jobs will also be lost, as well as many profits and products.
|
|
State owned firms are not ready for the market, because they are geared for
|
|
the bureaucrats and not customers. They are more concerned with the
|
|
welfare of the employees rather than efficiency. In the past, communism
|
|
led to low productive workers, because the more profits they made, were
|
|
taken from government. Now things have changed, the more the retained
|
|
earnings, the more the employees receive in bonuses, and that will make
|
|
them work harder.
|
|
|
|
A bracing wind is blowing through the open door:
|
|
China follows the policies of its East Asian neighbours on foreign
|
|
trade and investment. In 1978 China had an isolated economy, with a
|
|
minimal share of world trade, commodities, especially oil which was China's
|
|
main export. It has now blossomed into a $300 billion trade by 1995.
|
|
Exports has five-fold. China will also receive a lot of foreign investment
|
|
from countries, especially japan, which will hit poor parts of China.
|
|
China will also be joining GATT soon, and have reached an market-opening
|
|
agreement with the US in October. I believe that China should allow as
|
|
much foreign investment as possible because it has helped other countries
|
|
surrounding them, and may help them.
|
|
|
|
The Communist Party has nowhere to go but down
|
|
l partly disagree with this statement, l feel that once a country like
|
|
China has accomplished itself economically like it has (strong and
|
|
prosperous future), it will take a lot to bring the party down even though
|
|
there might be some good reasons to. Also it may be difficult to go down,
|
|
because China is still three quarters rural, and the people in the country
|
|
still prefer communism because of the small favours received. Another
|
|
factor why the party won't go down is because if it goes, it will be
|
|
replaced by the army, the secret police or warlords. Even though the
|
|
communist party has not functioned like it was supposed to, it will not go
|
|
down. The communist party has been operating very much like capitalist,
|
|
because of the capitalist society which has been introduced over the last
|
|
several years. The party has a large role to play in China's transition to
|
|
a full market economy.
|
|
|
|
China is on its way. the West should prepare
|
|
China's interests lay in foreign investment, trade and economic
|
|
reform. China's main driving force was competition, and they proved that
|
|
privatisation and settling the matter of ownership are not so critical in
|
|
the early stages of reform. In the years ahead, China must choose between
|
|
keeping the communist party or kepping the stunning economic growth. If
|
|
they continue to grow at the rate China grows, and keep improving their
|
|
economy, and join the likes of Japan, they can combine forces in all
|
|
aspects against the west, military wise and economically wise. if China's
|
|
economy grows as fast for the next twenty years like it has for the past
|
|
fourteen, it will be the biggest economy on earth.
