BEIJING ugg boots ireland black friday , Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- History shows that the road to prosperity is not easy. Intellectuals have outlined a series of "traps," which often hold back developing countries as they try to become so-called first world countries.
As China moves toward becoming a "great modern socialist country," will it be able to sidestep these traps and prove the naysayers wrong? And just what answers does the Chinese leadership have to offer?
Xi Jinping's "socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era," as unveiled at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, offers a few answers to some of these traps:
Poverty Trap
The poverty trap is where structural poverty becomes reinforced over several generations.
Xi: "Decisive progress has been made in the fight against poverty."
"We must ensure that by the year 2020, all rural residents living below the current poverty line will have been out of poverty."
Thucydides Trap
Named after Greek historian Thucydides ugg boots ireland sale , it suggests that war is inevitable when a new power rises up to challenge an existing one.
Xi: "No matter what stage of development it reaches, China will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion."
"China pursues a national defense policy that is in nature defensive."
"We call on the people of all countries to work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind."
Middle-income Trap
The term is indicative of that an economy reaches a certain level of income, but is unable to further develop its competitive edge and fails to sustain the growth needed to become rich.
Xi: "We have adopted the right approach to development."
"The economy has maintained a medium-high growth rate."
"We should pursue supply-side structural reform as our main task, and work hard for better quality, higher efficiency and more robust drivers of economic growth through reform."
Tacitus Trap
This warns that when a government loses credibility, whether it tells the truth or a lie cheap ugg boots ireland , or does good or bad, it will inevitably be considered a lie.
Xi: "We must focus on maintaining the Party's close bond with the people, keep them firmly in mind, develop a closer affinity with them, and keep working to foster stronger public support for the Party's governance."
Rise-and-Fall Cycle
"'The rise of something may be fast, but its downfall is equally swift.' Has any person ugg boots ireland , family, community, place, or even nation ever managed to break free of this cycle?" Educator Huang Yanpei reportedly once asked Chairman Mao.
Xi: "As history has shown and will continue to bear witness to, without the leadership of the Communist Party of China Womens UGG Classic Azalea Sheepskin Mini Boots 1005382 Chestnut Sale , national rejuvenation would be just wishful thinking."
In contrast Womens UGG Classic Cory Leather Sheepskin Mini Boots 1014439 Black Ireland , the CPC has been very consistent on major policies like poverty alleviation, helping create strong public faith in the endeavors.
Liu Yuanchun, vice president of Renmin University of China, said Xi had laid out a package of reforms to address all major problems facing the Chinese economy, including risk control, macro-regulation Womens UGG Bailey Bow Sheepskin Mini Boots 1005062 Chestnut Ireland , supply-side reform and innovation.
Cai Songtao, a congress delegate from Henan Province Womens UGG Classic Sheepskin 5854 Mini Boots Leopard Clearance , said Xi warned against the Tacitus trap on an inspection tour to the province.
Sun Zhaoxia said historically dynasties could not escape the cycle of rise and fall because the interests of the ruling class were against the public, but as the CPC serves no one other than the masses Mens UGG Classic Sheepskin Mini Boots 5854 Sand Outlet , it has the people's backing and will stay in power.
