How China became a superpower: 40 years of economic reform | DW News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2018
- 40 Years ago China opened up its economy to the rest of the world. A move, that ultimately turned China into a global economic powerhouse, second in GDP only to the US. Today China looks back over four decades of economic reform that have made it one of the most powerful economies in the world. In his speech at the Great Hall of the People in the Chinese capital Beijing Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to press ahead with economic reforms. But he also made clear that Beijing will not deviate from its one-party system or take orders from any other country. His comments come as the United States demands more transparency in trade relations with Bejing.

Will the current trade war put a hold on chinas economic growth?
no, maybe even faster!
No, If you know about China, history, culture,people, you will easily understand why Chinese will never give up against western colonization regime.
Not exactly. Domestic economic challenges put on a more severe problem for China.
China have the huge market, trade war and sanction from US will hurt them in the short term but in longer term they will come out much stronger.
Yes it will as you cant make money as a country by just domestic consumption and US is the largest consumer out there..
Respect to China, you people were strategic and worked hard, you deserve it.
It was all setup and pre-arranged buddy.
brilliant governance, communism dictatorship or not, their government works for the people
How it can be changed like that, an agriculture before and then becomen one of the top economic country. But it is also has dark side for over 30 years miracle change
@K.D.Sedits Try telling that to the hundreds of thousands of Chinese who have lost their life savings, businesses and investments recently !

China this, China that, please stop that,enough already ,Chinese people just want to become better living standard ,there been suffer a lot the pass century, there are better now.thank for the hard work.
You are absolutely right, however, for the purpose of being better living standard, you Chinese should co-work with the West, we are natural allies, to fight against CCP since CCP now becomes the stumbling blocks of Chinese development.
Bullshits. Under CCP administration, 700 million Chinese are lifted out of poverty. What did the West do to the developing world?@@aribethdetylmarande8228

China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country like India in the past, but today, China is world's 2nd largest economy, the manufacturing hub of the world, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, and funded by world's 2nd largest military budget. All while under the CCP leadership.

My preconceived notions of China were blown to bits when I first visited China in 2019. Amazed at its cleanliness, innovation, parks, reforestation...Been watching their progress n history especially past 40 years n most admire their real sincere hard fought fight against poverty! To me, the greatest meaningful endeavor in human history. The US, Australia n UK will one day realise once their rigid prejudiced racist superiority complex blinkers are off, that having having a trade war with China today is like throwing the bath water with the baby in it.
Leave
Accusing Western countries of being racist because they oppose China is pathetic.
@@kg8489 Opposing on what terms. Some want collaboration with China, and some view China's growth as their own regression. It's not a 0 game, everyone can gain some without one having to lose a lot. The Western world had a positive view of China when it was just the world's factory with all the sweatshops, but has started viewing negatively as China stands neck and neck sitting on the same table, talking about what they gain, etc. On the flip side. China is not going to let in immigrants or is not going to embrace globalization as the rest of the world has. China can be considered very restrictive. socially. The problem is both sides need to put differences aside and decide to work together. Even if one side is going to be selfish, and unfair. This whole relationship will collapse.
cleanliness? LMAO
@@kg8489 you are racist point blank, the fact is you can't stomach a non white European country becoming so prosperous. You couldn't stomach seeing indigenous people in their beautiful countries do you decided on wholesale theft and conquering. You stole the Americas, Canada, australia, new Zealand,
As a matter of fact, the Chinese have never said that they are a superpower. We are a developing country. China as a whole is still very poor. Just want to do their own, don't care what others say
That emphasis on superpower is to scare the foolish American populace. It is called as fear-mongering tactic.
无名 China has... problems. The US has problems. I don’t understand why are we in a trade war.
yeah,we merely want to do business with the US. Apparently,they don't think so.
Just because they’re developing doesn’t mean they aren’t already developed
I've been to China, I haven't seen any homeless people there like we have here in the U.S.
Volkswagen etc. and Germany benefited greatly from China's opening reforms till today...! Kindly do not try to mix political change in this reform...! If it ain't broken don't try fix it..!! That system alleviates 700 million Chinese out of poverty !!! On the contrary, the US system has gotten more American into poverty level..
US invaded multiple countries in the last 40 years as well.
You have to understand that as a developing nation, all countries will have large amounts of growth and will lift their people out of poverty, not to mention that China's poverty rate is still very high. America had just had their transitional period a long time ago, but now it is China's turn. But like every country in the past, as a nation transitions from a developing nation to a developed nation, economic growth slows dramatically, so don't conclude that the Western system is more flawed than the Chinese one due to this fact as China's economic growth is already in a phase of slowing down. When China finally becomes a developed nation, the worry is that without a lot of transparency, it may cause trust issues within the international community, and whether their intentions lie within themselves (as it has seemed more recently) than with mankind. I tell you this to encourage to look into the Chinese political system. Political apathy is more dangerous than the Chinese communist party itself
Bill Lam chinese poverty rate is very high but still lower than American’s. Half of American population is in poverty. They cannot access to buy basic needs while China has the biggest middle class people in the world. So why does not the us just mind its own business and improve its poverty rate.
@@billlam6620
I like to remind you that Food Stamp is still widely use in the United States today..! Why? Because poverty is still a damn serious problem (despite its military might)..!!
And Food Stamp was already a thing of history in China..! I visited China few years back (as tourist) and bought a box of Food Stamps as souvenirs !!!!
If you are unable to explain this economic phenomenon vs. political system relationships, than your ideological beliefs are bias and flaws.. go figure.
@@captainusa2076 I'm not quite sure where you sourced your information, but I might have to add that the relative poverty in China and the USA are very different. In the USA, the relative poverty salary is around 5,600 USD per capita, which equates to about 38,000RMB. In China, 70 million of its population (about 20% of the population) lives under a yearly income of 2,300RMB ($376USD). So please do you research, it's extremely important to differentiate between relative poverty and absolute poverty.
China is making great progress within. You can see the progress to the standard of living. It is also helping out the developing countries in building infrastructure and lending where the UN and the world banks wouldn't. Good for them for helping each other! China is not particularly bending backwards to enrich the developed or advanced countries to further their cause of ruling the rest. I like their way of thinking. Honestly I do think the oppressed is rising to the point where the developed can get out of the way and simply watch, which is better than getting in the way or trying to get a share that would otherwise help the poor.
proud of China and its achievements
Spoken like a minion
@Paul F - Amen!
@Paul F no way!
Paul F “cultural enrichment” yeah look at Europe, how everyone is vs everyone. Look at the US, look how everyone is too focused on race instead of the nation, look at Mexico and how poor it is. Cultural “enrichment” destroys the original cultures and I don’t believe China needs any cultural “enrichment” since there are 56 minorities in it. From a mixed race person.
so what？
How I wish India had the gumption to take bold steps and develop like China.
@jay wong Both countries accounted for more than half of the world's GDP for most of history before the modern era.
Indian over democracy never take up like china.....our democracy is for rich , celebraties.....not for middle class, workers......finally indians always used to be jealous on others...😁😁😂😂 Britain gave us stupid divide and rule democracy
@jay wong Right. And yet somehow China owes the West everything they currently have, even though China has basically just tried to get back to where they were before being looted.
@jay wong No matter how India develops itself, if it ever increases its world power standing, the West is going to have a problem with it. If it's not technology theft, I bet you they'll be accused of not sharing their technology.
India will never be developed. Indian elites copied European democratic model governance and legal system. They are trying to run this system over 1.4 billion primitive farmers.
Most people know Japan is a successful industrial country. But not too much people know China was Japan's teacher in the history. So Chinese can do things to the best if they get the right direction. Miracle will definitely continue.

remember to look back and review this piece again when we reach 100 years of opening-up.
as a chinese，i want to say we just want to struggle for a better life
Because Chinese people love peace and want to be harmony with all the people in the world.
The start of development happened when everyone unified to have one goal, and open up itself for foreign investment. This will allow the best for develop and prosper. Sometimes you will need to plan and coordinate, so there is no over-investment in any industries. If done in small scale, one step at a time, ability for reversal is easier, if mistakes are discovered.
cant wait to see more, who agrees ?
First
The China story is the most successful story of our generation and of this century as well. Chinese people are really lucky to have been blessed with continuous stream of highly intelligent, efficient and patriotic leaders.
China has the most meritocratic, democratic system in the world with cpc central gov having the highest approval rating in the world 95%+. This was from a 13 year Harvard UNI study at all levels of gov in all provinces and regions of China. Every other western poll confirms such incredible numbers over decades.
china: do more ,talk less，no war
中国会更好。
of course
Judging from China's economic growth and the increasing prosperity their people are beginning to enjoy, perhaps how the central government is running the country is not so bad after all. Perhaps it is time for the West to re-evaluate what is China doing right. Just a thought.
When you are weak appear strong, but when YOU ARE STRONG APPEAR AS A WEAK
Deng initiated China's Opening Up and Reform in 1978, gave up comintern, restored all tradition and culture (so that my family can worship Buddha at home), kept a low profile, focused on economy development and improvement of people's living, set up Chinese characteristic socialism - a kind of hybrid of capitalism and socialism which is good for China since heavily populated!
Chinese are forward looking and still already solved all border issues using "Give and Take" strategy with neighbors excepts India. Allied with China benefit all countries people!
China wants to modernize first, then democratize. India just reverse the path. Which one is better we will follow which one! May see it in the middle of this century!
The 12-character policy explanation followed with an even more restricted circulation among the leaders.
It read:
Enemy troops are outside the walls.
They are stronger than we.
We should be mainly on the defensive.

German should remember before western colony China was a superpower for thousands years, fortunately Chinese survived and Chairman Mao rebuild China to a new superpower.
Mao don't know how to run a country, but he knows how to win a war. it's better to let someone else who know how to run a country, to run a country.
Chairman Starvemaoll
Chiarman Mao didnt rebuild China, he united China a country was in pieces. Deng Xiaoping rebuilt China.
Mao was failed leader. Deng Xiaoping is the real leader
Bryan Lee he was a great leader who was able to unite China after all these years. Nobody could’ve done what he did at the time. Yes he failed miserably in his late years, he almost destroyed the country but luckily Deng took over after him.
I think is quite simple, they working so hard while US and Europe having war in Middle East.
Both Of countries are trying to make money...
great documentation .......
dispatch from a ( China's history reverent) to chines people never slue back to those westerns barking ..go ahead and do what's benefit for you and good luck :)
Simply put :
Mao: took land from land owners and made almost all land state owned
Xiaoping: distributed that land by giving port county's to companies and allowed locals to have autonomy while building roads ports and bettering education system in china
At the same time keeping China closed during a less "connected" era helped China not receive the criticism for not allowing labour unions etc. So china could allow foreign companies to exploit the populace
Outcome : Eastern China's massive economic rise
Who suffered : the people in 60s 70s and 80s
Who benefitted : 80s after
The people born in 60/70/80s had their life expectancy doubled from 30s to 60s+, and literacy rate went up from 0-10% to 80-90%. Lots of other things like infant mortality and infrastructure development, military(getting nuclear bombs/tech), defeating USA and UN in North Korea and successfully defending NK were massive achievements regardless of whether China was still poor compared to west or whether great leap and cultural revolution were disasters(which even the CPC admits).
Those born in 60-70-80s would be living much better lives than if they were born in 30-40-50s. I mean they would live twice as long and the whole country would at least be literate and not all illiterate poor opium addicts and/or getting killed by Japanese and civil wars.
There's a reason why Mao is still highly revered even considering al his mistakes.. And the above are the reasons.
well, why not admit that chinese firms also always face big hurdles (most of those difficulties are clearly intentional) to do business in the west? western governments always put extra oversights on chinese businesses in the west, so-called "free market" principles clearly don't apply to chinese firms. living in the west for over 30 years, eventually i learned the lesson: hypocrisy and double standards are key features of the western politics.

I have recently bought a Chinese brand smartphone Huawei. It works perfectly. Japan is not that perfect, and but discharged mercury into her rivers causing Minamata and Itai Itai diseases. While China and South Korea did not do such a bad thing when they developed their economies.

How can China be a superpower? China is still the largest developing country in the world.The contradiction of unbalanced development is urgent to be solved, and the problem of backward productivity is still the most prominent problem for a long time to come.
