China 2030

China should complete its transition to a market economy through enterprise, land, labor, and financial sector reforms, strengthen its private sector, open its markets to greater competition and innovation, and ensure equality of opportunity to help achieve its goal of a new structure for economic growth. These are some of the key findings of China 2030, a joint research report by a team from the World Bank and the Development Research Center of China's State Council. This report lays out the case for a new development strategy for China to rebalance the role of government and market, private sector and society to reach the goal of becoming a-high income country by 2030. China 2030 recommends steps to deal with the risks facing China over the next 20 years, including the risk of a hard landing in the short term, as well as challenges posed by an ageing and shrinking workforce, rising inequality, environmental stresses, and external imbalances. The report lays out six strategic directions for China's future: Completing the transition to a market economy; Accelerating the pace of open innovation; Going "green" to transform environmental stresses into green growth as a driver for development;Expanding opportunities and services such as health, education and access to jobs for all people;Modernizing and strengthening its domestic fiscal system;Seeking mutually beneficial relations with the world by connecting China's structural reforms to the changing international economy.
