China is doing better than the western world in a lot of areas, because of
its sheer size and different spending priorities etc. Some of them out of my
experience in living and studying in Shenzhen are,
Big Bang Economic Reforms: China is better at making hard choices to sustain
and guide economic growth. Chinese leaders wowed to control air pollution
as it reached hazardous levels. At the expense of marginal industrial output
, China reduced its coal consumption by 8 percent in just four months. China
just cut CO2 emissions by the same amount emitted by the UK since the start
of the year
European countries are still struggling in deciding which path to follow to
get out of recession. China on the contrary has been actively undertaking
economic reforms to rebalance its economy. The short term effects of the
same are detrimental to growth and hence not populist but they are needed. I
have never read of such fast paced economic reforms in the context of
western countries.
Public Safety: Chinese cities are very safe. China spends as much on
domestic security as on national defense and while there might be many
motives to do so, one clear benefit is that cities in China are very safe.
This is not just in comparison to the western world though. I feel
infinitely more safe in Shenzhen than I do in New Delhi. No matter where I
am in Shenzhen, I am not more than a kilometer away from one of the mobile
police vans scouring the city. China is so safe for tourists and backpackers
that I feel bad for my friends who travel abroad as exchange students that
they would expect the same standards of public safety and later feel
disappointed and at worse, hurt themselves.
Investing in Human Capital: Higher education is becoming expensive and
inaccessible by the day in the United States. China on the other hand has
done an amazing job of ensuring quality higher education for most high
school students. It has not just invested in human capital but taken an
active role in creating the kind of talent it needs for development. China
Scholarship Council, an arm of the Ministry of Education funds Chinese
students abroad with the condition that they come back to China to work. A
couple of my friends are pursuing their PhD's at Oxford and Yale under this
scheme.
Infrastructure: The Chinese approach to infrastructure despite its
criticisms is miles ahead of that of the western world. The Chinese forego
the short term rate of return with the long term benefits of the project.
The high speed rail in China even though it will run in losses for another
decade has fundamentally changed people's perception of distance and
benefited Chinese businesses. A western country (or even India) would have
deliberated for a decade before building the Three Gorges Dam and the dam
itself would have died a slow death because of an avalanche of litigation
against it (ex. California HSR).
Sunny Mewati's answer to Why hasn't India been able to build a large-scale
infrastructure comparable to China's (both in the past and present)?
Concerning the Great Wall, did China have much more of a need to build this
infrastructure when compared to India?
Renewable Energy: For all the media coverage regarding environmental
pollution here, China has invested more than the western world in developing
renewable energy sources. |
