共同 富裕!
“Prosperity for all” is an ancient concept of modern China brought up to date in China for a week! The simple idea is that a state must relearn how to provide essential services to the population.
Healthcare I have been seen with COVID; rapid responses and solutions in the event of flooding (Henan, most recently); construction of homes for isolated seniors … But what mainly concerns the authorities at the moment is education. The possibility of having a 3rd child now for all Chinese has raised the question of the cost of education. The Chinese government has severely dealt with the thorny issue of private education in China, deemed too expensive and therefore too elitist! Many establishments which had speculated too much in this market, bringing in a lot of money and creating inequalities, have already closed.
China is questioning the quality of life for children in school. There are also questions that the best teachers only teach in elite schools. China resolutely sets itself apart from other countries, especially Western countries, by giving back a central role to the state, which must face up to its essential duties and the new challenges of society.
“Take back control”
In reality, Beijing’s interventionism is multiple. Chinese leaders want:
Reduce inequalities in Chinese society and promote common prosperity; develop a more prosperous and growing middle class so as to boost the fertility rate after the severe one-child policy; put an end to speculative real estate transactions that have driven real estate prices up; reduce the level of CO2 emissions; eradicate any resurgence of covid. The Chinese government does this in a very direct and strong manner, as the closure of one of its main ports has further demonstrated after the discovery of a single case of contamination.
China puts its tech giants in line
Whether it’s Alibaba, Tencent, or other companies with massive customer databases, all of them must now abide by and abide by Beijing’s rules.
Beijing also seeks in this way to avoid actions that would deviate from traditional Chinese cultural convictions. Thus, as we have just said, the control of private education companies which is not only motivated by Beijing’s desire to establish greater equality within its population, but also to transmit the essential values of China, from Confucius to modernity.
The end of “cheap” Made in China
China has often taken Germany as an example in that the latter exports high-end products and imports lower-end commodities. The former Middle Kingdom demonstrated its desire to become an innovative force at the forefront of technological developments. Its “Made in China 2025” program aims to raise the country’s status from a low-end manufacturer to that of a producer of high-end goods.
