Globalizer

  one thing I should agree is chinese people are richer than several years ago. this is not concluded from government data like average GDP over $1,000. I got this conclusion when I spent my chinese new year in my hometown.

  My hometown is in Ganzhou city which locates in the far south of Jiangxi province. about 5 years ago, the infrastructure was very bad. no train, no airport, even no highway. it's a poor city in a poor province. but things changed later. more and more adult labors left hometown to find jobs in coastal cities like Guangzhou, shenzhen and shanghai etc. within these years, they made much money and began to buy house in county-level city or build big house in village. in addition, government invested money in infrastructure building. now, Ganzhou has very convenient transportation like train, airport and highway.  from this point, I admit china achieved big improvement on people's income. and I can say the big increase of peasant labors' income is the major contribution!

  but this situation is sustainable?

   I am worrying! if china wants to keep sustainable growth of average GDP, china should understand how to keep peasant labors' income sustainable growth. in past years, the reason why coastal cities need huge peasant labors is there are too many manufacturing factories. peasant labors can fill in the labor shortage. china as a world manufacturing base guarantees peasant labors' income!

   now, many experts are disseminating a message that china needs to be a design center. plus competition from other low cost regions like Vietnam, east europe, Latin america, if china is not a world manufacturing base any more 10 years later, does government have ways to make peasant labors' income sustainable growth?

   I hope building new socialist countryside can solve this problem very well. but who knows!
