China has emerged as the world's second-largest economy with unprecedented growth over the past four decades. But the cost of widespread corruption, environmental degradation, food security, and income inequalities dominate China. According to the Financial Post report, a report from 2008 to 2012 by Professor Justin Yifu Lin, a former senior vice president, and chief economist of the World Bank, described China as paying several institutional costs for its economic success.
In 1978, the situation in China was dilapidated.
Let us tell you that China celebrated the 40th anniversary of its transition from a planned economy to a market economy in 2018 and it was a surprise success. In 1978 the country was completely suspended from the world. It was a poor country. The per capita income here was less than a third of that of sub-Saharan African countries. More than 80 percent of China's population lived in rural areas, mostly below the international poverty line, and China had a closed economy, where trade made up less than 10 percent of its GDP.
second-largest economy
Annual GDP growth over the past 40 years averaged 9.4 percent and trade grew at an average rate of 14.8 percent. In no time, China overtook Japan to become the second largest economy in the world. It was the largest exporter overtaking Germany. It also surpassed the US to become the largest economy as measured by 'purchasing power parity and the largest trading economy.
China paid the price
Professor Justin Yifu Lin said China paid the price for its unprecedented success. In addition to the damage to the environment and issues of food security, widespread corruption and income inequality prevailed. "Before 1978, China had a disciplined and clean bureaucratic system and an egalitarian society. According to the Corruption Index published by Transparency International, China was ranked 79th out of 176 countries in 2016.
