Abstract

Since 1978, China's economic boom has attracted great attention from economists. However, it is perhaps too early to make any judgement over the lessons learnt from China's economic development. To presume China will overtake America to become the first economic superpower, or to presume that China will collapse due to increasing social problems would be somewhat slapdash. Nevertheless, a fact that must be faced is that in the past 30 years, both China's GDP growth and social problems have rapidly increased hand-in-hand. It seems that there is a question that must be asked: is there a way to promote economic growth and social stability at the same time? Perhaps one of the answers is to establish rule of law. This paper is based upon China's experience of economic growth, and analyses the relationship between rule of law and the economy.
