8 HDI: HDI: HDI VS SOURCES: en/data/trends/ DATA SOURCES: en/data HDI-1980 HDI: 2012 VS More than 40 countries of the South had greater gains on the HDI between 1990 and 2012 than would have been predicted from their previous performance on the HDI DATA SOURCES: 2013 Human Development Report, en/data HDI HDI-1990 China at a Glance: Conclusion v Despite what economists would predict as a poorly performing economy, a striking shift occurred in China's growth. China outperformed all other developing countries in terms of exports and output growth in real terms. The 1980 s and 1990 s both saw a rise in all areas of real income and living standards. v The puzzle is how China's economy performed so well despite the fact that economic institutions and policies were inadequate in relation to mainstream Western economic theory. China does have a long history of capitalistic tradition, and therefore was more apt to succeed even under such a restrictive government. v It is also true that a strong central government at this stage was necessary to preside over the changes that were taking place, because of how dynamic a country China is. From: Zhang Jun, Triggering the economic growth in post-reform China, Working paper, China at a Glance: Conclusion v China did not copy any model to trigger its economic growth. What it did was to give up the ideology that constrains its will to choose the right way to catch up. China set the growth target when it began the slow process of economic reform, and when China began economic reforms, its aim was not to replace the old system, but to make some change of it. The evolutionary process of China s economic reform helps induce rather than retard economic growth. v When economic growth is the main target of government, China finds a better governance to serve its goal of growth. And during the early phase of economic development, when the average income of population is much lower, the growth target is easier to be placed on the top of government agenda. China did so and what China did better than India is because it is much easier to make out an effective governance of growth under China s political system than under federalism India. From: Zhang Jun, Triggering the economic growth in post-reform China, Working paper, China at a Glance: Conclusion v What challenges China in the future is how Chinese system responds effectively to diversified interests of society and how Chinese government enforces its cohesion when growth target is no longer on consensus. For instance, China s rapid growth from below has increasingly enlarged the regional income disparity and social income gap in the past decade. These problems threat social and political stability in China. China needs to manage these social problems. Recent experience has indicated that China is on the crossroad between implementation of growth target and moving towards to more distributional policies.
