Auf der 4. Tagung des VII. Nationalen Volkskongresses (NVK) am 8. April 1991 wurden zwei neue stellvertretende Ministerpräsidenten gewählt: Zhu Rongji, der bisherige Bürgermeister und Parteisekretär von Shanghai, und Zou Jiahua, Leiter der Staatlichen Planungskommission. Ferner wurde Außenminister Qian Qichen (Jg. 1928) Staatsratskommissar. Für Zhu Rongji entschieden sich 2.547 der 2.673 stimmberechtigten Abgeordneten.1 Zhu Rongji (Jg. 1928) und Zou Jiahua (Jg. 1926) treten an die Seite von Tian Ji- yun (Jg. 1929), die frühere rechte Hand des gestürzten ZK-Generalse- kretärs Zhao Ziyang, Wu Xueqian (Jg. 1921), ehemaliger Außenminister und ein Schützling des verstorbenen ehemaligen ZK-Generalsekretärs Hu Yaobang, und Yao Yilin (Jg. 1917), ehemaliger Leiter der Staatlichen Planungskommission, auf den sich Ministerpräsident Li Peng (Jg. 1928) stützt. Damit gibt es in der Volksrepublik China jetzt fünf stellvertretende Ministerpräsidenten.

Zhu Rongji wurde auf der 5. Plenarsitzung der 1. Tagung des IX. NVI< am 17. März 1998 neuer Ministerpräsident des Staatsrats und damit Nachfolger von Li Peng. Die Teilnehmer der Sitzung bestätigten durch Abstimmung Zhus Nominierung als Kandidaten für das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten durch Staatspräsident Jiang Zemin. Die chinesische Verfassung sieht vor, daß der Staatspräsident einen Kandidaten für dieses Amt nominiert. Zhu Rongji erhielt 97,9% der Stimmen. Es gab nur 29 Gegenstimmen und 31 Enthaltungen.

This article provides a contextualized analysis of the ways in which school social workers may address the impact of economic, social and political challenges as they will be experienced by the children of mainland China, and how the profession of school social work may serve to ameliorate the negative effects on children as they transition through these developments.

Despite macroeconomic evidence pointing to a negative aggregate consumption response due to political uncertainty, few papers have used microeconomic panel data to analyze how households adjust their consumption after an uncertainty shock. We study household savings and expenditure adjustment from an unexpected, large-scale and rapidly evolving political shock that occurred largely in May 1989 in Beijing, China. Using monthly micro panel data, we present evidence that a surge in political uncertainty resulted in significant temporary increases in savings among urban households in China. Households responded mainly by reducing semi-durable expenditure and frequency of major durable adjustment. The uncertainty effect is more pronounced among older, wealthier, and more socially advantaged households. We interpret our findings using existing models of precautionary behavior. By focusing on time variation in uncertainty, our identification strategy avoids many of the potential problems in empirical studies of precautionary savings such as self-selection and life-cycle effects. ; This is the author accepted manuscript.

Despite macroeconomic evidence pointing to a negative aggregate consumption response due to political uncertainty, few papers have used microeconomic panel data to analyze how households adjust their consumption after an uncertainty shock. We study household savings and expenditure adjustment from an unexpected, large-scale and rapidly evolving political shock that occurred largely in May 1989 in Beijing, China. Using monthly micro panel data from a sample of the Urban Household Survey, we present evidence that a surge in political uncertainty resulted in significant temporary increases in savings among urban households in China. Our estimates also suggest the channel through which increase in savings is achieved: the increase in savings is driven by reductions in semi-durable expenditure and frequency of major durable adjustment. The uncertainty effect is more pronounced among older, wealthier, and more socially advantaged households. We interpret our findings using existing models of precautionary behavior. By focusing on time variation in uncertainty, our identification strategy avoids many of the potential problems in empirical studies of precautionary savings such as self-selection and life-cycle effects. Our findings on the channel of adjustment also coincide with the predictions from models on consumer durables adjustment combined with income uncertainty.
