The concept of transparency has arrived in... China (!)

The case of China is specially interesting, in my point of view.The Chinese built a gender of "communism" difficult to understand. If we think about the known concept of communism, as a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people, maybe it is not the same "concept" of communism that we can find in China. 

It is true that in China the State governs as the unique member, and there is no election, in the western meaning. However, after reading many releases about the 18th National Congress of the Chinese  Communist Party,  there was specifically one release that made me get surprised: it was about the need of reforms in chinese political structures, mainly focused on transparency on decision-making process.

Everything started with the frequency of protests in many parts of China, as Taiwan, Shangai and others cities which made the Communism Party discuss this issue during the National Congress. The conclusions showed that the reasons of these protests were connected with the lack of transparency in local decision-making process. 

For instance, in Ningbo, the protests have begun after the Government decide to develop the chemical industry in that area. The society did not agree with the concept of economical development with "no limits" anymore. The Chinese are worried about their health, and the latest levels of polution has demonstrated that the health is important and it cannot be substituted for one expected economical growth (it is like "money cannot buy health). 

As a result, the Government associated this event with a lack of popular participation in the decision involving that chemical industry and the lack of transparency. If Chinese society had been informed and consulted before about this decision, maybe there would be no protest, and no "example" to be followed by others in China.

It is important to remember that, for one system of government like the chinese communism, the rise of popular protests and doubts about the efficience of the government itself are also dangerous. Next to it, there is the high level of corruption, which produces inequality in the distribution of wealth between chinese people. Poverty easily makes Chinese think what is wrong with the current government.

In conclusion, Chinese people are becoming more rational, and the usual blocks of social networks on the internet are not working so well as past times. I am just curious about which type of "transparency" the communist party wants to incorporate in its government...

Update: no women in the "new" Chinese government. No one...
