The book also addresses the implications of China's experience for other developing nations tackling not only poverty but such issues as pandemics, rampant urbanization and desertification exacerbated by global warming. The first of three parts draws upon interviews of rural and urban Chinese from diverse backgrounds and local and national leaders. These interviews, conducted in even the remotest areas of the country, offer candid insights into the challenges that have forced China to continually evolve its programs to resolve even the most intractable cases of poverty. The second part explores the historic, cultural and philosophical roots of old China's meritocratic government and how its ancient Chinese ethics have led to modern Chinese socialism's stance that poverty amidst plenty is immoral. Dr. Huang Chengwei, one of China's foremost anti-poverty experts, explains the challenges faced at each stage as China's anti-poverty measures evolved over 70 years to emphasize enablement over id and to foster bottom-up initiative and entrepreneurialism, culminating in Xi Jinping's precision poverty alleviation. The book also addresses why national economic development alone cannot reduce poverty; poverty alleviation programs must be people-centered, with measurable and accountable practices that reach even to household level, which China has done with its first Secretary program. The third part explores the potential for adopting China's practices in other nations, including the potential for replicating China's successes in developing countries through such measures as the Belt and Road Initiative. This book also addresses prevalent misperceptions about China's growing global presence and why other developing nations must address historic, systemic causes of poverty and inequity before they can undertake sustainable poverty alleviation measures of their own. 001431066 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 21, 2021). 001431066 650_0 $$aPoverty$$xGovernment policy$$zChina. 001431066 650_6 $$aPauvreté$$xPolitique gouvernementale$$zChine. 001431066 651_0 $$aChina$$xEconomic policy$$xHistory. 001431066 651_6 $$aChine$$xPolitique économique$$xHistoire. 001431066 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001431066 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001431066 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBrown, William N.$$tChasing the Chinese Dream.$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
