The experiences of
the success of China’s economic reform
Frank July 10, 2016, in Waterloo, On. Ca.
The success of China’s economic reform was derived from the well
understanding for human inborn nature and the culture of Ancient civilisation.
For social governance, there are three main resistances.
First one is that has to deal with people
who are capable in independent thinking and tend to act according to own
interested and preferred accord, which will negatively affect social governance.
Second one is that social governance would involve in some social reform
with the redistribution of social interest, and it would encounter the fiercely
resistance of interest group, and even ordinary people would also resist the
reform due to the fear for potential risks in uncertain social changes.
Third one is the impact of social ideologies which is that people accustomed outdated
ideology in dominating thinking and behaving. In The
end of laissez-faire 1926, Keynes indicates that: “These many elements have
contributed to the current intellectual bias, the mental make-up, the orthodoxy
of the day. The compelling force of many of the original reasons has
disappeared but, as usual, the vitality of the conclusions outlasts them.”
Such behaviors caused by the inborn nature of
human beings, in regardless the
race, regardless nationality and political model - one party dictatorship or
multiparty democracy.
The process of China’s economic reform was the process of making efforts
to reduce and overcome such social resistance. In Canada, it will be the same
when making social advancement.
The success of China’s economic
reform was benefited from the culture of unique long civilization.
Oct. 2, 2014, in article Why
did China not produce harmful native religions, I indicate that: “People appreciate the 5,000 years continuous
civilization of China, however, most of people have overlooked the nature of
the civilization, the valuable point, is not in the length of time, but, in the
continuously documented historical facts – the facts in success and failure,
which made valuable references, so that the future generations can avoid to
repeat mistakes with lesser Detour.”
“The accumulation of experiences is wisdom.”
“The wisdom from 2400 years ago China lessons us that, the
ordinary people can happily share in enjoying fruit, but they never willingly
share the effort in growing the fruit. A rational government has to
enforce people to do something that will benefit to them, but, do not
expect to convince them in advance.”
Here needs to specially point out that, in 2400 years ago China, the philosophical text Tao Te Ching said that “the governance of a big country is as that of cooking a piece of small sea food”, it meant that a matter easily broken, and must be very careful.
As my view, in modern society, the social governance is a process that paves
track by policy making, and society runs accordingly. Therefore, the process of
social governance is the process of policy making.
Maybe due to the different in civilization background, the process of
policy making is totally different between China and the West:
In China, it was by trial to get experience with proof that is feasible with
less social unrest at first, then to be legislated accordingly.
In West, it was to design and legislates at first with less concern
social unrest-causing, and then to be executed accordingly.
The process of the reform in social governance is a process of governing
innovation. Obviously, the way of China will be fewer mistakes and easily to be
practiced.
The success of China’s economic reform relied on two key factors.
1…The former top
leader Mr. Deng Xiaoping, as a general
experienced in decades long wars, who played a role as a political
bulldozer to push away social resistance:
“Don’t
argue; try it. If it works, let it spread.” He timely provided support for those pioneers in economic reform by his unique political prestige.
2…Government authorized limited area as test zone for
economic reform without Gov-financing
besides independent policy
making, which largely reduced social
resistance, and the free practice of all available economic means promoted it
quickly developed, and then with the achievement to convince public to
have easily updated the policies nationally.
It was in 1979, firstly set 2.14 square kilometers as test-zone in a
part of Shekou district of Shenzhen city, after convincing achievements, the test-zone
was promoted whole Shenzhen city. In May 4, 1984 it was promoted to other 14
coastal port cities, and in following several years, it was promoted to many
other areas.
Viewing back in today, China’s economic reform was from point to line,
and then from the line to area, in step by step gradually with constantly updating
policies.
China's economic reform was the process that
carefully avoided social resistances; otherwise, even if in one party dictatorship
also cannot do anything.
By such patient cautious approach, China has avoided social unrest as those
of many other former socialist countries have suffered, even blooding, due to
they changed social system without proper preparation in advance under the way
of design and legislates at first.
The main resistance for China's economic reform was more from ideological
arguments that insisted on socialist road and any budding in private economy will
be severely criticized or even jailed.
This absurd phenomenon was not limited to China.
In former Soviet Union, when Stalin's reigning, the Political Repression was also from such ideological conflict against capitalism.
Such ideological conflict was not limited in socialist countries, too.
In the United States, a
typical capitalist country, Mr. Joseph
R. McCarthy who once launched
McCarthyism to perform political persecution against
communism.
In human world, in most of time, it was that irrational suppresses
rational – the ignorance in playing leading role.
The facts showed that confused social ideology has strong power in impacting
social advancement.
Such ideological confusion was also playing its role in international
trade with the argument in
identifying whether a country is in market economy.
Because of some share of state-owned economy, over the years, the West
questioned the status of China's market economy, however, they overlooked the
fact that the big share of state-owned economy in France today, and Britain
once experienced a process that was nationalized from private economy and then
was privatized again. But, there was no one questioned their nature in market
economy - capitalism.
Faced with such irrational arguments, Mr. Deng said that: no matter is black
or white; the one that can catch mice is a good cat. No matter which roads, if
it cannot develop economy and improve people's live is all dead roads.
Mr. Deng Xiaoping has learnt the harm of useless ideological argument, by
use of all available preferable means in regardless which –ist or –ism, to push
forward economic development and improve people’s live by flexible way in reducing
social resistance.
At the beginning of China’s economic reform, there were a lot of voice
in suspicion and opposition, and now is basically no more, most people have
recognized that the economic reform was correct.
No people who are in rational
mind would hate a prosperous life.
Now, many countries have
relaxed visa policy for attracting wealthy guests from China. Among them, Canada was the earlier one.
Now, we have made clear that the success of China’s economic reform was mainly
derived from flexible governing approaches, rather than fully from one party
dictatorship.
In viewing above, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should not be disappointed
for the incompetence of democratic governance, under current democratic polity; Canada also can achieve similar
economic achievement as that of China has done.
