County-level Economic Development Model of Impoverished Areas Inhabited by Minority Groups of China (ePub)

Down the ages it has been a rule that when the prefectures and counties are well governed, the whole country enjoys peace and security; when the prefectures and counties are well provided, the whole country gets rich. County-level economy is the basic unite of balancing urban and rural economic and social development, and the important foundation of the national economy. Its reform and development plays a significant role in the reform, development and stability of the entire country. Since the Chinese economic reform, the imbalanced economic development in China widens the gap among regions and between rural and urban areas as manifested in county-level economy, which has affected the sound and rapid development of national economy. Particularly worthy of note is the high proportion of impoverished population in areas inhabited by minority groups, which are the most highly concentrated places with the highest poverty incidence and severity. However the county-level economic development model of impoverished areas inhabited by minority groups has long been neglected by the academia and the business world. The increasingly distinct urban-rural dual structure has become one of the bottlenecks hindering China's efforts to accelerate the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The yawning gap obviously runs contrary to the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. It not only intensifies the conflicts between developed regions and impoverished areas, but also generates severe economic, political and social equity issues. As a result, reinforcing study of the county-level economic development model of impoverished areas inhabited by minority groups is very relevant and theoretically significant.
