Better-off Well Developed Zone and Developing Zone • Gap between urban and rural areas • Household registration system • Poor Disparity
Gap between urban and rural areas Towns look like Europe while villages look like Africa? Shanghai Sichuan • Buildings? • Roads? • Environment? • Hygiene? • Density? BIG DIFFERENCE!
Household Registration System • People are divided into agriculture accounts and non-agricultural household • Degree of difficulty of the examinations: • Agriculture accounts: much more difficult • Non-agricultural household: easier • Intensive competition • Only a few agriculture accounts can study in universities
Household Registration System • Insufficient employment opportunities • Low educational level low-paying jobs • Many agriculture accounts can’t get jobs in cities become farmers • Their children and even grandsons/granddaughters will be farmers again • Unchangeable fate
Poor Disparity Coastal areas: richer
Poor Disparity Inland areas: poorer
Poor Disparity • Inequitable distribution of social resources • Education, employment opportunities… • Corruption • Birth rate and population size: • Number of children of urban residents is only half of that of rural residents
Attainment of People • Not Civic-minded • Serious corruption • Poor public order • Shoddy work and inferior materials • Unguaranteed food
Not Civic-minded • Not compassionate • Cold-blooded • Selfish • Civic education?
Serious Corruption • No organization to supervise officials • Intensified corruption • Nowhere for complaining

Shoddy Work and Inferior Materials • Jerry-built • Loss: • Money • Workers’ lives • Public’s lives • People’s confidence
Unguaranteed Food • Fake food • Bad effects on people’s health • Lose surety • Damage China’s image Made in China?
Freedom of Speech and Press • News blackout • Internet blockade • ✓Good news • ✓Growth in economy • ✖Tyranny of government • ✖Living methods of western countries • ✖Encouragement democracy
Analysis Rapid development on economy ↕ 38 million population living in poverty • Reasons: • Serious corruption • Household registration system • Unfair distribution of public sources
Analysis Important position in the world ↕ People have no confidence on the products labelled “Made in China” • Reasons: • Not civic-minded • Poor public order • Shoddy work and inferior materials
