| Tlo historyczne | For centuries Chiny stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world w the arts and sciences, but w the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After Swiat War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring Chiny's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room dla personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight. |

| Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | NA |
| Ekonomia | In late 1978 the Chinese leadership began moving the economy from a sluggish, inefficient, Soviet-style centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented system. Whereas the system operates within a political framework of strict Communist control, the economic influence of non-state organizations and individual citizens has been steadily increasing. The authorities switched to a system of household and village responsibility w agriculture w place of the old collectivization, increased the authority of local officials and plant managers w industry, permitted a wide variety of small-scale enterprises w services and light manufacturing, and opened the economy to increased foreign trade and investment. The result has been a quadrupling of Produkt krajowy brutto since 1978. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis, Chiny w 2004 stood as the second-largest economy w the world after the US, although w per capita terms the country is still poor. Agriculture and industry have posted major gains especially w coastal areas near Hong Kong and opposite Tajwan and w Shanghai, where foreign investment has helped spur output of both domestic and export goods. The leadership, however, often has experienced - as a result of its hybrid system - the worst results of socialism (bureaucracy and lassitude) and of capitalism (growing income disparities and rising unemployment). Chiny thus has periodically backtracked, retightening central controls at intervals. The government has struggled to (a) sustain adequate jobs growth dla tens of millions of workers laid off from state-owned enterprises, migrants, and new entrants to the work force; (b) reduce corruption and other economic crimes; and (c) keep afloat the large state-owned enterprises, many of which had been shielded from competition by subsidies and had been losing the ability to pay full wages and pensions. From 100 to 150 million surplus rural workers are adrift between the villages and the cities, many subsisting through part-time, low-paying jobs. Popular resistance, changes w central policy, and loss of authority by rural cadres have weakened Chiny's population control program, which is essential to maintaining long-term growth w living standards. At the same time, one demographic consequence of the "one child" policy is that Chiny is now one of the most rapidly aging countries w the world. Another long-term threat to growth is the deterioration w the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion, and the steady fall of the water table especially w the north. Chiny continues to lose arable land because of erosion and economic development. As part of its effort to gradually slow the rapid economic growth seen w 2004, Beijing says it will reduce somewhat its spending on infrastructure w 2005, while continuing to focus on poverty relief and through rural tax reform. Accession to the Swiat Trade Organization helps strengthen its ability to maintain strong growth rates but at the same time puts additional pressure on the hybrid system of strong political controls and growing market influences. Chiny has benefited from a huge expansion w computer Internet use, z 94 million users at the end of 2004. Foreign investment remains a strong element w Chiny's remarkable economic growth. Shortages of electric power and raw materials may affect industrial output w 2005. More power generating capacity is scheduled to come on line w 2006. In its rivalry z Indie as an economic power, Chiny has a lead w the absorption of technology, the rising prominence w world trade, and the alleviation of poverty; Indie has one important advantage w its relative mastery of the English language, but the number of competent Chinese English-speakers is growing rapidly. |
