What Good Has the Rapid Growth Done? Per capita GDP rising 16-

17 folds in constant prices since the start of reform on 1978.

An increase of the human development index (HDI) from 0.404 to 0.687. A UNDP index reflecting

life expectancy education level and per capita income.

Institutional Roots of Failure to Control Pollution

• Promotion of officials based on ability to deliver GDP growth.

• Environmental agency has little enforcement power.

(Similar to London in the mid 1950s?)

Lack of effective constraints on the power of party officials Top-down political system. Higher officials tend to protect their

protégés. Anti-corruption campaigns are easily

used to eliminate opponents. Remedies under consideration

Implement “constitutional rule” More concrete checks on power Specific rules to guarantee freedoms

Centralize appointment of judges Transparency in governance

Public hearings Publication of government

decisions on the web Limit media censorship

Can the Incoming Generation of Leaders Accomplish these

Tasks? The retiring president, Hu Jintao, was too cautious and timid to undertake deeper reforms.

Powerful interest groups have formed to protect the status quo. Corrupt/stasist officials Monopolistic SOEs Entrepreneurs who got rich

by colluding with officials Two anti-establishment factions

have also emerged. Liberals wanting deeper reforms Conservatives wanting to go

back to Maoist policies

The incoming president, Xi Jinping, appears to realize how perilous the status quo is.

But it is unclear whether he can effectively tackle the oppositions. Many of the “princelings” who

are considered part of his power base tend to be conservative.

Several of the Political Bureau members are wary of change.

He currently seems to be trying to build up his credibility by attacking corruption placing reformers in some key

positions and talking up reform.Signs point to gradually intensifying reforms in the next few years.
