Economy, the dream and the pursuit of a wonderful life of a family average

Foreword,

The dream and the pursuit of a wonderful life of the family average are intimately linked to the economic development and to the politics of a country.

During 1960s and 1970s, "three desires" of any Chinese family were, a watch, a bicycle and a sewing machine. In the decade 1980, a television set, a refrigerator and a washing machine became "three dreams". Then in the 1990s, they still changed to become a telephone, a computer and a conditioner of air.

Today, at the beginning of the XXIth century, several people consider a house, a car, and an instruction as their "three dreams". In reality, with the development of the economy and the increase of the standard of living, many Chinese families have no more three dreams.

History of the economy in brief: 

After 1840, China became little by little a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. It had no real independence or the autonomy of a State, nor a powerful and effective government, with a decision-making power.

 Consequently, its economy did not have the opportunity to develop.

According to the statistics of the economic and social Committee of United Nations for Asia and the Pacific, the average income of the Chinese was, in 1949, 27 USD, the lowest of Asia.

The people of new China invested a lot of energy in campaigns to return the powerful and prosperous country, eliminate the poverty and revitalize the economy.

All this time, the population led hard battles; but it was the first essential step to take out China of its extreme poverty and of her underdevelopment compared to the others. Consequently, the state economy knew a fast development, and a solid base was established for the socialism.

When Deng Xiaoping take the reins in the 70’s, he wanted to increase the economic development of china and also their strength.

When the economy began to grow seriously with all the infrastructure in place, the country became one of the most important country in the world and considered as the first economic power in 2014 by the IMF.

Then in nowadays the economy growth rate is:

6.9% In 2015

7.3% In 2014

7.8% In 2013

• GDP per capita (PPP):

However China knew an exponential growth during almost 20 years.

During the first decade of the years 2000, she knew a growth with 2 digits, which is new in the    history.

 She exceeded the United States like first world transmitter in 2006, 2007.

 First pollutant of planet, China is shown as the ideal guilty.

Environmental challenges related to the economy:

First world economic power, China is found in the situation of Manchester at the 19th century    when it was the workshop of the world with regard to textile industry.  

It became the industry of the world today and the efforts of energy efficiency in Europe are in fact strongly related to the delocalization of industries which are the most polluting, in China.

In fact, if one calculates the emissions which represent a machine, not compared to the person who builds it, but compared to that which uses it, the Chinese emissions fall on a very low level.

In China, the fulgurating growth was done with no regard for the environment and of public health, like elsewhere in Europe a few centuries earlier. Then, regarding the danger,
 Beijing starts a green turn. China is since the country which invests more in the sectors of the renewable ones.

Concretely, the air pollution of China, is mainly due to an industry still largely based on the use of coal like primary source of energy production for the manufacturing, a rapid growth and nonstop amongst vehicles and a set of quasi not-coercive laws on pollution.
