Abstract

In the past three decades of the reform and opening-up, China has achieved a sustained and rapid economic growth that has rarely been seen in human history. This has occurred in the context of globalization, industrialization and urbanization. China’s huge population has provided a large quantity of cheap and high-quality labor resources to the global production system and brought considerable market demands when it has fully integrated into economic globalization.

Unless specially stated, inter-provincial panel data in Chap. 3 are sourced from Comprehensive Statistical Data and Materials on 50 years of New China (China Statistics Press 1999), Comprehensive Statistical Data and Materials on 55 years of New China (China Statistics Press 2005,) and China Statistical Yearbook 2006 (China Statistics Press 2006). Inter-city panel data are sourced from 50 Years of Urbanization in New China (Urban Social and Economic Survey Team, National Bureau of Statistics, Xinhua Publishing House, 1999) and China City Statistical Yearbooks (China Statistics Press, various years).

The gross number of rural migrant workers in the cities reached 150,000,000, which was widely quoted at the National People’s Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in March 2007.

See Chap. 4 for details.

Wei (2001) provides many examples of redundant construction.

Changes to determinant factors and influence on economic growth of domestic market segmentation in China since the reform and opening-up are specifically explored in Chap. 5.

China has often adjusted preferential policies for special economic zones. The Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax, which came into effect on January 1, 2008, is considered to have ended “the last preferential policy” for special economic zones while integrating the income tax system for both foreign-invested and domestic enterprises.

Net central fiscal transfer is central subsidy revenue less turned-over central expenditure. Traditionally, China is divided into eastern, central and western regions. Three northeastern provinces are divided into a separate region to explore the influence of the Strategy of Revitalizing Old Industrial Bases in Northeast China. Liaoning and three provinces are generally included in the eastern region, while Heilongjiang and Jilin fall in the central region. Guangxi and Inner Mongolia are included in the western region in Fig. 3.3 in line with the Policy of Western Development.
