“Although China’s economy is indeed impressive, people around the world should not be misled by its outward appearance,” warns Cai Xia in a guest commentary for The Economist
CHINA HAS “completed a process of industrialisation” that produced both economic growth and social stability, boasted the Chinese Communist Party in a “historical resolution” on November 11th. The party trumpeted that it was “pioneering a uniquely Chinese path to modernisation, creating a new model for human advancement”.
The party’s aim in developing the economy is not actually to benefit the people, but to use rapid growth to maintain internal stability. It grants favours and benefits to win over the public while enslaving it, in order to keep its grip on power. At the same time, the party has been beefing up its military capability and readiness for war, to compete with America for global hegemony and realise the ambitions of its leader, Xi Jinping.
The party also used its governing powers to deprive Chinese labourers of their bargaining rights, resulting in a low cost of labour. This has been bad for people. Qin Hui, an outspoken Chinese historian,The interests of the vast majority of people in China have been seriously harmed, while the party has gained tremendous benefits.
