Development Strategy

Three-Steps Development Strategy(1980)

The strategic plan worked out in 1980
for China economic development involves
three steps:

The first step is to double the Gross

Domestic Product (GDP) of 1980s’ and
solve the problem of food and clothing for
Chinese people in ten years.
 Development Strategy
 The second step is to double GDP again
from the early of 1990 to the end of the
20th century thus enabling people to lead
a fair comfortable life .

The goals for the first two steps were

largely fulfilled two years ahead of
schedule in 1998.

 The third step is , by the middle of the
21st century to reach the per capita GDP
level of moderate developed countries,
to realize state modernization and enable
Chinese people to enjoy a relatively
affluent life.

But the third step of the Development Strategy
made in 1980 may be too sketchy and too rough to
practice.

 Development Strategy
In 1997 the third step was made more specific,
and a “New Three- Stages Development
Strategy” for the first half of the 21st century was
put forward.
 First Stage (2000-2010), in the first decade of
21st century, to double GDP compared to the
2000 level, raise levels of prosperity, and form a
relatively complete socialist market economic
system;

 Second Stage, from 2010 to 2020 to double
GDP of 2010 again to complete the building of
a moderately prosperous society (XiaoKang)
in China by the centenary of the CPC.
 Third Stage ( 2020 to 2050), First from
2020 to 2035, building on XiaoKang ,through
15 years’ efforts China will realize the socialist

developed countries and to make China be,
prosperous, strong economy, more political
democracy , culturally advanced, and

the Chinese Dream: revitalizing Chinese nation in all
aspects
The last two stages are also popularly known as “ Two
Centenary Goals of China’s Development Strategy ”
 Development Strategy
Chinas’ thirty years of reform and opening to outside
world has greatly enhanced Chinese national overall
strength and the gap between China and the worlds’ major
developed nations on economic strength, scientific and
technologic development is gradually decreasing.
 Development Strategy
China has strengthened its ties with the world economy
and has greatly elevated its status. It has transformed a
total centralized economy into an increasing market-
oriented system and has been emerging as a global force
as it integrates with the international community more
closely.

3. Political system
Upon the founding of New China a total new
political system and political democracy was
established. Three key points of Chinese political
system are as followings:
 Politics
• Multi-party cooperation and political consultation under
the leadership of CPC
• Peoples’ Congress System
• Regional Ethnic Autonomy
It is different from both the two-party or multi-party
competition system of western countries and the one-party
system practiced in some other countries.
