Reform in the air: China

Article Abstract:

A number of analysts are reading the introduction of free-market policies in China's economy in the speeches of Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Part of the expected economic reforms are the privatization of small state-sponsored enterprises. Many analysts believe that the proposed economic reforms are a response to China's efforts to preserve its economic growth, which has been experiencing a slump since the economic boom of 1992-1993. The response is also surmised to stem from China's regained control over Hong Kong, whose vibrant economy lies in stark contrast to China's sluggish growth.

China on the move

Article Abstract:

There are an estimated 100 million migrant workers in China. The workers are mostly peasants who perform menial tasks shunned by urban residents. Although the government tends to view such workers with suspicion, the migration does help relieve crowded conditions in Sichuan province.
