Leaders: China
For China’s rise to continue, the country
needs to move away from the model that has served it so well
Why I picked up the article:
As you already know, China is the center of
attention from the global world. The Economist launched China’s section and the
article got 986 comments on the website. That is the only reason why I picked it
up. Let’s talk about China and their future.
Discussion points:
[China’s spring?] Democratic movement
spread the Arab world and recently anti-Putin movement in Russia is taken
notice. How about China? The article mentions that the Arab spring had few
echoes in China because of its economic success, but does the situation
continue?
[Is China united or separated?] China has
huge population and landscape governed by the one big party. By looking China
as one, it has a superpower but it has also diverse people who have various
interest and culture. This characteristic is also paradoxical. I think we
should more focus on each region in China.
The Economist point of view:
1) China is now an
economic superpower and is fast becoming a military force capable of unsettling
America. But our interest in China
lies also in its
politics: it is governed by a system that is out of step with global norms.
2) China’s bloody past
has taught the Communist Party to fear chaos above all. But history’s other
lesson is that those who cling to absolute power end up with none. The paradox,
as some within the party are coming to realize, is that for China to succeed it
must move away from the formula that has served it so well.
