Mixed Market Economy

Mixed market economy makes china better
Economic system means the way in which a nation allocates its resources among its citizens. The economic structure of a nation is very important factor in the process of the country. Mixed market economy is more important and suitable than command economy or market economy in China and it can offer more opportunities for labours to find a job and improve the quality of citizens’ life.

Before “Reform and Opening up” that put forward by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 in order to open the door of Chinese market, China used a completely command economic system. Government made a series plans and gave out tickets to citizens. Citizens cannot buy goods without tickets. There is no need for a university student to apply for a job; government will send him to an arranged position. During the period, a man called Guoliang Lee, worked at state-owned enterprise in Changzhou. In this completely command economy, He didn’t need to worry about what he needed to do next day, even next week. There is also no need for him to worry about when the enterprise would raise his wage because country have fixed rate to raise state-owned enterprise’s workers’ wage, because the government would make full arrangement for him. The life lacked of goal and motivation because all the workers were in the same position. There was no competition. However, there was no opportunity for him to change in command economy, anything was planed by country, nobody can own private business.

The Great Leap forward and People’s commune was the product of the command economy in 1960s. It was a serious error in the road of building Socialism. It ignored the objective laws of economic development. Excessively exaggerating the role of the subjective and its efforts. It led to industrial and agricultural production is greatly damaged, a serious imbalance between proportions of national economy. People 's life had serious

    The Communist ruled nation China has always been known for its cheap labour and sometimes questionable living standards. In 1978, China began the transition from a planned market economy to a more capitalistic, free market economy. Ever since then, numerous reform policies have been implemented and Liou (2010) says that these policies lead to an:…

    Industrialization in China was delayed. One can argue that unlike the Europeans whom focused on individualism or rather self, the Chinese contrasted in this because their beliefs were centered mainly on family and community. Family on a whole took precedence for the larger numbers of Chinese around this time. This may have been the contributing factor as to why Industrialization was slow in coming to China. In the 1950’s the Great Leap Forward act was introduced. This acts target was to use China's vast population to rapidly transform the country from an agricultural economy into a contemporary communist society by implementing rapid industrialization and collectivization.…

    What started as a drastic movement that would bring China into the world stage and improve the living conditions of peasants, the Great Leap quickly took a dark turn.

    To begin with, Mao’s rise to power can be largely attributed to the Nationalists’ failure in gathering popular support. This was a consequence of the lack of help given to the peasants, which represented 95% of the population, and, for example, were negatively affected by the high land taxes which were not reduced, and were the group most badly hit by the conscription policies, introduced by Jiang in 1941. Not only this, the KMC lost its main base of support, the middle class in the cities, due to its inefficiency of containing the hyperinflation and food shortages, leading to a collapse in the public order and presenting devastating impacts on the inner cities’ inhabitants. In the other hand, the Communists under Mao’s leadership always showed deep concerns towards peasant issues, such as in the introduction of the ‘Land Law’, giving land for the peasantry and offering rent, tax reduction and, above all,…

    The Great Leap Forward was a campaign issued by China’s leader Mao Zedong whose purpose was to rapidly transition The People’s Republic of China from an agrarian society to an industrialized communist society (Lean). It spanned from 1958 - 1961, but radical changes were made within that short time and it had a catastrophic effect on the people of China. It is important because of the large scale of the plan and the loss of life all around the countryside. Bad leadership and natural disasters combined to create a massive famine in which it is estimated that 20 - 40 million Chinese citizens starved to death or died from disease, and in some provinces, entire villages were wiped out (Slavicek). Its disastrous effects can stand as an example to…

    Nationalism V Communism

    After the Boxer Protocol, came the end of Imperial China - this meant that the people were no longer governed by the ‘Son of Heaven’, and thus left with no other form of guidance. In a way, they were forced to look at other options. One option was a political philosophy, Three People’s Principles, developed by Sun Yat-sen to make China a free, prosperous, and powerful nation. This led to the emergence of the Nationalist party, also known as the Kuomintang. However, instead of devoting interests towards this ‘unification’ of one nation through Nationalism, democracy, and the livelihood of the people, China had experienced widespread instability in a rift between the Chinese people and the Nationalists that governed them. War provided the means by which the Communist Party could enter Chinese political life; its war record made its Communist ideology legitimate. It was legitimate in the sense that the Chinese Communist Party came to power on the basis of a loyal constituency of about 100 million peasants during the war, and that this citizenry was still further expanded as a result of Japan’s defeat and the Communists’ successful discrediting on Nationalist grounds of the semi-exiled government of Chiang Kai-shek during and after the war (Johnson 2000). Ultimately, the reason why the newly created Communist Party had triumphed over Nationalism was due to the fact that they had capitalized on the demoralization and dissatisfaction of the Chinese population. The Communist Party appealed to the common folk – it offered to meet the needs of the people for leadership in organizing resistance to the invader and in alleviating war-induced anarchy in the rural areas.…

    China Social Structure

    • 2682 Words
    • 11 Pages

    This essay will focus in on and look at contemporary China’s social stratification and social class make up and structure during the post reform era, (post 1978) and what affects it has on today’s social make up. It will outline the different class’s that make up contemporary China’s social structure and give a detailed outlook and perspective on each class, and show what change they have undergone since the opening of China’s economy in the late 1970’s and introduction to a market based economy. The greatest outcome will see how the transfer of the class’s from a socialist dictated economy and society during the Mao era, rapidly changed and fused into the modern market based economy of today’s China. This essay should also indict who has benefited most from such a quick and bold move to a market economy, and those who have lost out and not been so lucky as others due to the open door policy of China which was introduced in 1978, by then Chinese Premier Deng Xiao Ping (邓小平). This essay will take each class individually and contrast them to other class’s, both those that existed during the Maoist era of pre-1978 and the class’s that have emerged as a result of the economic reforms pursued by China since the opening of its economy and internal reforms where introduced. Lastly it will look at if China’s communist party has steered away from the founding ethics of a socialist economy to that of a capitalist one due to social class division and what effect this can have on China in the near distant future.…

    A mixed economy is a mixture of private and public enterprises in which the market and the government decisions determine which goods and services are to be produced and how it will be distributed. Market forces play a major role in a mixed economy since demand and supply is not totally planned nor controlled by the central government. Tom Gorman. (2003)…
