China Nationalism behind it's Development

At the moment, china has been shifted japan as the second economic leader at the world. America's position as a world economic power is also being threatened. however, observers and policy makers need to examine things behind the excellence, perseverance or weakness of China. 

Knowingly or not, in fact China's economic strength against the hegemony of Western powers has been going on since long. With the spirit of nationalism that has its own characteristics, China already has the intention of aggression against the West, Britain, Germany, France, Russia, USA and Japan since the 19th century. At that time, the countries obtained special concessions so as to place the consulate, consulates in Macau, Shanghai and Hong Kong which of course does not provide benefits to the people of China. So, with the end of World War II that followed the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, then finished all these privileges. This incident depicted in the footage along with photographs of Wu Liang's comment: "Old Shanghai: A Lost Age" and also the nickname of "The Sick Man Of Asia" which began to fade in the era of the 1980s. 

Now, the world will be amazed of the rapid economic development experienced by the Chinese. The success of the 2008 Olympics, the celebration of 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC on October 1, 2009 and World Expo Shanghai China, April 30 to October 31 2010 is a series of prestigious achievement that describe the success of China in building its economy kekuatab, even in times of global recession due to crisis monetary in the United States, China became one of the resistant state of crisis. 

Actually, China's current economic condition is the fruit of nationalism who want progress across the region. We may not realize that China consists of 3 regions.Chen Dong-Sheng, Head of Research Centre for the Development of Western Regions, the Academy of Social Sciences, China, warned the world about it. 

Western region consists of 12 provinces: Chongqing, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinhai, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi and Xinjiang. 

The central region consists of 8 provinces: Heiliongjiang, Jilin, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi. 

Eastern region consists of 11 provinces: Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zheijiang, Fujian, Shandong, Guangdong, and Hainan. 

Governments and policy makers both at central and provincial levels, agreed to provide a focus on the development of western and central regions of China, as the region east, is relatively more advanced. The policy emphasized the need for seriousness in the work plan, budget and good governance are integrated.

This area gives priority in the physical development and transfer of natural resource processing industries and labor-intensive industries; adjustment of the price level to be able to build the independence of the central region / west; organize financial ease traffic to and from the eastern (coastal); accelerate the reform measures the area;strengthen support to poorer areas, and strengthen partnerships between the three regions.

China is not solely focused on physical development policies such as dams, electricity, irrigation, drinking water, railway and road network. Regions central / west also give priority to the promotion and distribution of educational, science and technology development, so as not to cause a bigger gap with the eastern region and neighboring China. In the construction, in the western and central regions there is a series of obstacles, namely socio-cultural barriers in the development of quality of life and human livelihood. Also there are still barriers in the form of natural or environmental conditions. To overcome these obstacles, the Chinese government to make development planning through 3 stages. The first phase in 2000-2010, the second (2011-2030), and third (2031-2050).

Three stages are aiming to reach the stage of modernization by the year 2050, the equitable distribution of economic prosperity, with per capita income above 5,000 dollars for the sake of national unity, social progress and environmental pollution are not polluted. The road map is not possible only done by the Chinese government, let alone with a population that is unusually large 1.24 Billion.

The Government is also moving to the implementation of policy and programmatic oversight and is known as "gradualism and reform" which resulted in the growth of a new middle class since the early 1980s. Members of this opening to a market economy. Among western capitalist global dub, but with Chinese characteristics with the feel-Laoisme Confucianism which is an ancient cultural heritage of China.

Integrated Infrastructure

Since 2000, the government in the western region reinforce a more stable investment policy with emphasis on traffic and transportation networks, telecommunication networks and electricity networks. This is realized with the construction of new railway network along the 10,000 kilometers within 20 years. With this project, China will have a network of north-south railway, including the Baotou-Liuzhou, Lanzhou-Chongqing, and the Lanzhou-Kuming, and a network of east-west down the Yangtze Kiang, the pride of the people of china, Xi'an-Nanjing-Heifei , Zhongwei-Taiyung, and Baotou-Hami.

Plan for construction of highways in the western region includes the development and improvement of roads throughout the 350,000 miles. In civil aviation, China set a development route that covers the entire country and western regions with the central point of Urumqi, Cunming and Chengdu, and expanded to Wuhan, Harbin.

China's determination is gradually realizing the long-term strategy into the mid 21st century to become a developed country. To accomplish this, the Chinese since the 2000s increasingly tough and courageous "no" over-inducement inducement to berkronfrontasi the west economically, politically and defense. China wants to focus on development.

In the course of reform and into globalization, nationalist consciousness continues to increase in China. These policy measures still require caution and integrity of China's policy makers, equipped with virtue and the role of the community under the support of the middle class.
