The situation is dangerous
The situation now is very dangerous because an imbalanced distribution of social interest would push the society to a unsafe situation. The poor would suffer more in the future, their living can't be guaranteed and this lead to more disadvantaged groups and cause the society more imbalanced. In most cases, an imbalanced society suffers more conflicts and contradictions in distributing economic interests.
"The fate of the nation lies within the heart of the people"
The picture was taken during the NPC and PPC conference, Premier Wen Jiabao was answering the questions from the international journalists.
March 14, 2011, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in reply to U.S. Cable News Network reporter's question, said: Political reform is the protection of economic reform.Without political reform, economic reform can not succeed. I think the biggest danger right now is that corruption.The soil lies in the elimination of corruption and institutional reform of the system. I know the fate of a country lies within the heart of its people, to solve the people's grievances and achieve aspirations of the people must create conditions to allow people to criticize and supervise the government.
Reform on the way
There are many methods to solve the problems of the vulnerable groups and improve their situation in the distribution of the social economic growth so that they can earn greater share. Giving the vulnerable groups necessary status both in political idea and authority is the starting point and foundation. In fact, the obvious problems of the vulnerable groups in China have drawn much attention from the highest ranks of the Communist Party of China.
The report of the Sixteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out “We will have a fairly sound social security system. There will be a higher rate of employment. People will have more family property and lead a more prosperous life”, “Bearing in mind the objective of common prosperity, we should try to raise the proportion of the middle-income group and increase the income of the low-income group”, and “Establishing and improving a social security system compatible with the level of economic development constitutes an important guarantee for social stability and long-term peace and order in the country.” The prepositions as the "the harmonious society", and "sharing reform achievement" presented by the Chinese Communist Party afterwards focus in narrowing the great income distribution gap and relieving social contradictions and conflicts. All the above are the corresponding responses to the problems of the vulnerable groups from the political dimensions.
In the specific social policies of the government, the Chinese government has already carried on some necessary adjustments, such as taking actual measures to enlarge the investment into the rural area and agriculture to build a “new countryside”; nearly denying the trial reform plan which is at cost of the actual benefit of the low- income groups and launching the new trial reform of the medical care and health service system; putting free compulsory education measures into effect, reducing the quantity of the dropout in countryside and reliving the tuition burden of the students form the low- income families and increasing the strength of the social security reform and so on. Some of these policies have already worked and some are just at the beginning.
However, there is still a long way to go and Chinese government should make sure to let these policies work out in the real life.
