CHINESE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE

In: The world today, Band 30, Heft 1, S. 33-42

Abstract

IN PURELY ECONOMIC TERMS, CHINA'S RECORD HAS NOT BEEN OUTSTANDING. HOWEVER, OTHER DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY INDIA, COULD LEARN FROM CHINA'S EXPERIENCE. IN THE CASE OF AGRICULTURE, WHILE PER CAPUT FOOD CONSUMPTION IS ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THAT OF INDIA, THE CHINESE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM HAS ENSURED A MORE EQUITABLE SHARE OF FOOD AMONG THE POPULATION.
