| Jian Shuo said: Currently, the economy reform changed the appearance of some cities, but the political reform never happened. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My comment: The economy reform not only changed the appreance of ALL the cities, but also MOST of the rurual areas. Actually, China's economy reform start from rural area and then spread to Urban area. However, only a few of the rurual areas become rich but most of them remain not-rich even still very poor. So, recent years, the government issued lots of the policies to stimulate rurual area's economy. For example, release all of the Agricultural tax！That is to say, the peasent no need to pay any tax to the government anymore! It is a huge change! Indeed released their burdon. My another comment is for political reform: Actually, political reform has performed gradually. Comparing current Chinese communiest party's constitution with that of 20 years ago, you can tell so so so big difference! Now, the communist party claimed it stands for the power which push the society ahead; stands for progress class etc.... So, now even priviate-enterprise owner can join the communist party. You know, in old days, those private-enterprise owner was called Capitalist and was regarded enimies of communist party..... Actually, in my personal opinon, we can call current chinese communist party as Chinese Social Democratic Party。 |
