Abstract

This chapter traces China's trajectory of Ricardian export-led growth following its WTO accession. It explores the challenges posed by anti-developmental WTO rules to China's structural transformation, leading to a dilemma of “growth without development.” This predicament is influenced by China's crony comprador capitalist development, which places the country at risk of falling into a “middle-income trap” and sets limits on China's ongoing “peaceful rise.” These limitations become more pronounced with the emergence of great-power rivalries inherent in this semi-peripheral development.

2011 was the first time China set forth the timetable for industrialization at 2020. “Li calls for deeper trade ties with Germany.” The Financial Times, 07/01/2011. http://​www.​ft.​com/​cms/​s/​0/​d0244274-1a71-11e0-b003-00144feab49a.​html#axzz1AXAIplJr; The State Council stated in the Notice on “Made in China 2025,” that “by 2020, China will basically achieve industrialization … By 2035, our country’s manufacturing as a whole will reach the medium level of the world’s manufacturing powers, and whereby to fully realize industrialization.” The State Council website, 08/05/2015. http://​www.​gov.​cn/​zhengce/​content/​2015-05/​19/​content_​9784.​htm); Oddly, then Minister Miao Wei of MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) was quoted by Xinhua as saying that “By 2025, with comprehensive index approaching that of Germany and Japan when they realized industrialization, China will basically achieve industrialization of our own and whereby to enter the second echelon of global manufacturing business.” Xinhuanet, 19/05/2015. http://​www.​xinhuanet.​com/​/​politics/​2015-05/​19/​c_​1115333559.​htm; Miao Wei seemed to hint at a new timetable of achieving full industrialization at some three decades later (by 2050), far longer than the preset target of 2035.

In March 2018, a propagandistic movie titled “An Unmatched China” was screened in major theaters throughout the People’s Republic of China. The film aimed to showcase the achievements of the CCP under the leadership of Xi Jinping since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, presenting China as an “unmatched power” in various areas of economic and social development. As part of the Party’s “patriotic education” campaign, all state-sector work units were required to organize their staff to watch this movie.

Chinese IR scholar Chu Ying of the Institute of International Relations harshly criticized the CCP’s expansive but ineffective foreign propaganda initiatives as ones that fell on deaf ears and focused instead on pleasing senior leaders and public opinion at home. He called such a failed attempt of extending Chinese “cultural soft power” as an “internalization of external propaganda” (“外宣内宣化”: waixuan neixuanhua).

As the US Deputy Secretary of State, Robert Zoellick, remarked in 2005, “For fifty years, our policy was to fence in the Soviet Union while its own internal contradictions undermined it. For thirty years, our policy has been to draw out the People’s Republic of China. As a result, the China of today is simply not the Soviet Union of the late 1940s… Chinese leaders have decided that their success depends on being networked with the modern world.” “Wither China: From Membership to Responsibility?” R.
