Abstract | The following paper first describes China’s rural development policies since the 1950s. Then it analyzes some of the rural development problems the country is facing today, and what China is doing to cope with them. While these measures might certainly further improve the living conditions of millions of farmers, the question remains (and is discussed in a separate section) whether these development measures are sustainable – particularly in relation to the environment. Finally, suggestions and recommendations are formulated that could enhance both the effectiveness and sustainability of China’s rural development policy. They could serve as guidelines for EU-China cooperation in that field. |
