Disparity In Wealth And Social Tensions Of The Chinese Communist Party

343 Words2 Pages

As Yang illustrates, the Chinese Communist Party is fully aware of the social tensions that arose when a disparity in wealth between the new rich and the poor emerged, as well as divergent interest of the people. The Party originally went through the motions of suppressing the evidence of the concerns of the people, looking to shut down protests and control the media. The Chinese leadership recognized that this method was not viable and realized that the Party must give (at least a little). In an effort to alleviate this disparity in wealth and social tensions, the Party has initiated a variety of populist initiatives. These include monitoring wages and pensions in the urban workforce, assistance to disadvantaged groups (ruoshi qunti), as well

    “By 1990, no Australian child will live in poverty.”. This was the enthusiastic, over reaching and misapprehended statement made famous by then Prime Minister Bob Hawke during his 1987 election pledge. As was noticeable throughout the late twentieth century, and as is still evident in today’s society, this notion didn’t completely achieve what it had hoped to. This, however, is despite the many aims and initiatives put in place by the Hawke and Keating Labor Governments during the decades of the 1980s and 90s.

    At the beginning of the story, Jin tells the reader that there is a statue of Chairman Mao that had peasant napping at the feet (Jin 1). On the next page the protagonist was bought up the idea that the National Party was to make all citizens equal (Jin 2). These two ideas are opposites of each other; the last idea stated that all citizens were equal but just on the page before Jin has peasants, which are people at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Just the idea of having peasants voice that the idea of equality is not true, but the peasants were sleeping at the feet of a statue of Mao. With this statue the reader can see that there are people at the top of the social hierarchy; if there is a social hierarchy there cannot be equality within the society because people will have to be more privileged or lesser privileged than others within the

    In the mid 19th century, the Chinese were experiencing extreme poverty and discontent.

After defeating the rebels, the government attempted to appease them with the Self-Strengthening Movement.

  • Causes Of Income Inequality In China

    1890 Words  | 8 Pages

    Contrary to the finding that “income inequality increases socio-political instability” (Alesina and Perotti, 1993, p. 18) current levels of inequality in China seems to have little impact on the societal status quo. Although China has experienced massive number of social protests, about 180,000 to 230,000 in 2010 alone (Gӧbel and Ong, 2012, p. 8), these protests are motivated by “abuses of power and other procedural justice issues, rather than being fueled by feelings of distributive injustice and anger at the rich” (Whyte, 2012, p. 6). According to a research paper funded by the European Union (Gӧbel and Ong, 2012, p. 36), income inequality is not among the top five motivations for social protests which include land disputes and environmental degradation. This data is evidently incompatible with a survey finding that income inequality is too great for 95% of Chinese as opposed to only 65% of Americans. Barring survey inaccuracy, high levels of inequality in China so far does not translate to dissatisfaction that leads to outright mass protests and instability.

Meaning, that the social and economic change comes from the people, to the people, and for the people. Even Joshua Cole states this when he said, Among the aims of the Communists are organization of the working class into a revolutionary party; overthrow of bourgeois power and the assumption of political power by the proletariat; and an end to exploitation of one individual by another and the creation of a classless society. These aims will be achieved by the abolition of bourgeois private property and the abolition of the bourgeoisie as a class… the proletariat will wrest power from the bourgeoisie and overthrow the capitalist system that has oppressed them.
