The fair distribution of wealth will be accompanies by a sense of reasonable standards of living based upon an environmentally friendly set of objectives. So transport will be changed to meet that target. Industry will adjust its methods to be careful about pollution, and food and water will improve.
China will move its excess capacity to help the peoples of the Silk Road and some other areas. This will involve embracing the concept of common prosperity where China helps its neighbours and beyond achieve better standards of living based on new transport, energy and communications.
China will develop good relations with other bigger economy nations and develop a new concept of major power relationships.
In the process China will help the world by creating a modern form of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It will be a 22nd century model.
China’s path from 1978 to 2049 will be based on the scientific path of development. That means challenges and problems will be expected and met with calm analysis and policies.
China’s officials and leading people must reject corruption and amassing personal fortunes and commit to the objectives of the Chinese Dream and the two centenary targets.
If the officials become corrupted, or stay corrupted, then China cannot achieve its goals. Of all its challenges corruption has proved to be the most determined. Dealing with it takes strength as people get confused and worried. But China’s Party knows this challenge is the first one.
China will not tread an easy path and it will have to withstand internal and external challenges. But if it is modest and careful with its assets and maintains a strong policy when needed, then China can meet the 2021 and 2049 targets.
