The Discussion on Chinese Economic Development Strategy

Abstract

After the Thirteenth Party Congress, the Chinese academic world, while continuing in-depth study of issues pertinent to economic structural reform, also began new and more concrete discussions on what kind of an economic development strategy China should adopt. The choice of economic strategy determines the success or failure of a country's economic development; under the prevailing conditions of fierce world competition, this choice may to some extent decide a country's destiny. Therefore, discussions should be extensive and supporting arguments concrete, before a choice can be made that is both bold and forceful, and prudent and workable. Below, I summarize major issues under discussion to provide a basis for further extensive in-depth discussions.
