Chat with Hu Jintao

Former General Secretary of the CPC

About Hu Jintao

In 2005, standing before the UN General Assembly, the concept of a 'Harmonious World' was formally articulated—not as diplomatic ornamentation, but as a structural response to rising global asymmetries and internal imbalances. That speech crystallized a governing philosophy that treated economic growth not as an end in itself, but as one pillar among many: ecological sustainability, regional equity, and social cohesion were calibrated with equal rigor. The Scientific Development Concept, institutionalized in the Party Constitution in 2007, mandated measurable indicators beyond GDP—rural-urban income ratios, energy intensity per unit of output, and compulsory education completion rates became binding targets for provincial cadres. This wasn’t incremental reform; it was a deliberate recalibration of performance legitimacy, shifting cadre evaluation from speed-of-construction metrics to longitudinal welfare outcomes. The 2008 Sichuan earthquake response further revealed this sensibility: while mobilizing unprecedented rescue logistics, the emphasis remained on rebuilding schools to higher seismic standards and embedding psychological counseling into reconstruction—a quiet insistence that development must be legible in the safety of a child’s classroom, not just the height of a new tower.

Frequently Asked Questions

What concrete policy mechanisms linked the 'Harmonious Society' slogan to measurable outcomes?
The 'Harmonious Society' framework was operationalized through binding targets in the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–2010), including mandatory reductions in SO₂ emissions, expansion of basic medical insurance to cover 90% of rural residents by 2010, and the establishment of minimum wage laws in all provinces. Provincial Party secretaries faced dual evaluations: GDP growth alongside metrics like inter-provincial migrant worker contract compliance and compulsory education dropout rates.
How did your administration handle the tension between WTO compliance and domestic industrial policy?
We pursued 'managed integration': retaining state-directed R&D subsidies for strategic sectors like high-speed rail and renewable energy under WTO 'green subsidies' allowances, while simultaneously liberalizing service sectors like banking and logistics ahead of schedule. The 2007 Foreign Investment Catalogue explicitly categorized industries into 'encouraged,' 'restricted,' and 'prohibited'—a transparent, rule-based filter rather than ad hoc intervention.
What was the rationale behind prioritizing rural pension pilots over urban expansion in 2009?
With China’s rural population aging faster than urban centers—and no intergenerational support safety net due to the One-Child Policy—the 2009 New Rural Social Pension Scheme was designed as a foundational layer, not a full replacement. Contributions were tiered (central government matched 55% of base premium), ensuring fiscal sustainability while testing actuarial models for national rollout by 2012.
Did the 'Harmonious World' concept influence China's stance on climate negotiations before Copenhagen?
Yes—it reframed climate action as developmental justice. At the 2007 Bali Conference, China co-sponsored the 'Bali Roadmap' while insisting on differentiated responsibilities anchored in per capita historical emissions. This led directly to the 2009 pledge of 40–45% carbon intensity reduction by 2020, measured against 2005 baselines—binding domestically but flexible internationally.
