Book excerpt: China has experienced over a quarter century of rapid economic growth, which has had a phenomenal impact on the global economy. Entering into the twenty-first century implies that China has begun a new phase of economic and social development.

A real Chinese economic miracle should have two important features: high income growth and a fair distribution system so that poverty can be eradicated.
