In China, Following in Footsteps of Reform
The article
discusses the biggest political challenge in decades that is occurring in
China. This political challenge includes changes in the top leadership
position, hidden forces in the party, and military and economy battles over
China’s future. One of the country’s leading scholars, Yu Jianrong, has dropped
a detailed proposal for political reform that begins in October this year and
ends a decade later, in September 2022. His political reform includes political
machinations, an ambitious program for change, and an autocratic state.
Additionally, a political scientist at Tsingshua University, Liu Yu, has
focused on how China is rooted in shifting attitudes across society, which is a
move linked to technology and globalization. This however is “unrealistic” and
a broad debate is needed. She stated that “a good plan should involve the whole
society” and that “there should be a big debate on where the country should be
going.” Therefore, these ideas and reforms can bring change to the country and they
can open people’s minds and raise awareness on the challenges occurring in China.

We have learned in class that China has a system that is very similar to capitalism, but I wonder how long it will take for China to openly state they embrace market capitalism?
Why is a move linked to technology and globalization unrealistic? China has already taken steps toward this. I would think that these would be issues less important when reforming China
It is quite annoying to see people yeilling about the open endorsment towards Capitalism. Why on earth shall a country have to categorize its economic system in one way or the other? This binary thought is too simplistic. I do not care what system China is doing, whether it is something existing or it is creating some new system. The only thing I care about is if the system allows China a sustainable growth and a stable output, and whether its people can enjoy the macroscope growth. It is good to see that the government officials and scholars are focusing more and more on these issues than simply aruguing and badgering about the capitalism or socialism. Because idologies do not have any use unless it benefit its people.
I think this transition to a more open political system will take decades to complete once the process is begun. Today there are over a billion people that live in China the scale of the development and services that the government needs to provide to insure there economy can handle there transition to a modern economy is just massive. Addressing there political challenges could put there economic goals at risk and for the people of China many believe that economic growth should be the number one priority.
