Abstract

According to the author, the main achievement of the Seventh Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Thirteenth Central Committee, which took place in December 1990, was to approve proposals for the Ten-Year Programme for Economic and Social Development and the Eight Five-Year Plan. These proposals are discussed and it is pointed out that the top priority of the CCP is to maintain political stability after the Tienanmen event in June 1989. The author believes that as the reform and opening-up process continues, mainland China will run the risk of developing a capitalist system. (DÜI-Sen)
