Introduction:

China officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is the largest country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.3 billion. Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, the country is the world's second-largest country by land area, and the third- or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the definition of total area.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is the world's second largest economy binominal GDP and by purchasing power parity after the United States. It is the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over the past 30 years. China is also the largest exporter and second largest importer of goods in the world.

History Of Economy Development:

1949-1978:

Mao tried to push China's economy to new heights. Under his highly touted "Great Leap Forward", agricultural collectives were reorganized into enormous communes where men and women were assigned in military fashion to specific tasks. Peasants were told to stop relying on the family, and instead adopted a system of communal kitchens, mess halls, and nurseries. Wages were calculated along the communist principle of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need", and sideline production was banned as incipient capitalism. All Chinese citizens were urged to boost the country's steel production by establishing "backyard steel furnaces" to help overtake the West. The Great Leap Forward quickly revealed itself as a giant step backwards. Over-ambitious targets were set, falsified production figures were duly reported, and Chinese officials lived in an unreal world of miraculous

    Industrialization in China was delayed. One can argue that unlike the Europeans whom focused on individualism or rather self, the Chinese contrasted in this because their beliefs were centered mainly on family and community. Family on a whole took precedence for the larger numbers of Chinese around this time. This may have been the contributing factor as to why Industrialization was slow in coming to China. In the 1950’s the Great Leap Forward act was introduced. This acts target was to use China's vast population to rapidly transform the country from an agricultural economy into a contemporary communist society by implementing rapid industrialization and collectivization.…

    In the year 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong initiated a nationwide campaign called “The Great Leap Forward”, in an effort to rapidly transition China’s economy from agrarian to industrial. The goal of this effort was for China to not only catch up with, but also exceed the United States in industrial output in the next 15 years through peaceful competition, making China an industrial equal to countries in the West. The way to do this, as Chairman Mao saw it, was through mass industrialization and collectivism. Mao mobilized the entire country, working day and night with the promise of a better future. One of the first mandates from the Chairman was for communes to produce as much steel as…

    China’s influence in the world economy was minimal until the late 1980’s but we are now seeing China being one of the most independent countries and leading the manufacturing producing market. China started with a fragile economy with minimal infrastructure from frequent revolutions and invasions in 1949. In the early 1980’s, China’s economy was still extremely weak as a result of its inward looking government system of a socialist planned economy under the Mao government. This resulted in living standards below world averages and economic growth at nearly zero. China has risen from the edge of economic obscurity to lead the world in terms of economic growth, and this is done is just over a quarter of a decade. The People’s Republic of China has transformed from a planned economy into a socialist market economy and is now the world’s second largest economy to the USA being number one, by nominal GDP at $7.3 trillion and by purchasing power parity (PPP). “Pay attention to what’s going on in China. “ – Jeff Mbanga – The Observer.…

    The entire people must grasp industry” the metal smelted in these primitive furnaces proved to be useless. In addition, in the heavy pursuit of the “phantom of the Great Leap in industry,” the Chinese leadership slackened it’s attention to agriculture and the grain problem, so when harvest time came the responsibility was “thrust onto the shoulders of women, old men and children”. Despite the sober reality of the setbacks that the Great Leap Forward had caused, inflated figures of the amazing growth in the quantity of agricultural products were sent in reports by leaders who feared Mao’s wrath. The Great Leap Forward proved to be a giant blunder when a “terrible famine ravaged the country, and a horrifying number of peasants starved to death.” The famine was on a gigantic scale, claiming the lives of twenty million or more between 1958 and…

    The Great Leap Forward was a campaign issued by China’s leader Mao Zedong whose purpose was to rapidly transition The People’s Republic of China from an agrarian society to an industrialized communist society (Lean). It spanned from 1958 - 1961, but radical changes were made within that short time and it had a catastrophic effect on the people of China. It is important because of the large scale of the plan and the loss of life all around the countryside. Bad leadership and natural disasters combined to create a massive famine in which it is estimated that 20 - 40 million Chinese citizens starved to death or died from disease, and in some provinces, entire villages were wiped out (Slavicek). Its disastrous effects can stand as an example to…
