Economic Regime And National Competitiveness

Without profound research in economic history, the historic materialism should not be formed, let alone scientific socialism, meanwhile, absence of deep and systemic research in Chinese economic history, the target of building socialism with Chinese characteristics is far away. Summarizing all history, basing current situation, and focusing on the future are the purpose of study Chinese economic history. Human society (including economy) is a historical procedure linking the past to the future, and abodes by certain regular pattern. From the historical vision, the process of human society is seem as the source of a river, and is tied through intrinsic strength, just as what the ancient said: if you want to know the origin of one thing, you must think of the past of the thing. So we should research history with this scientific attitude, and make a solution and an innovation.It has been obtained the immense success that the Western economists explained the changes of the economic history by the economics method. The Chinese economic history is abundant and unique, but the research about this aspect is dull and lacks enough explanation so far. How to introduce new means and how to focus on new view to research Chinese economic history, it is unknown. If you can find out a few of truly historic trace, you have known that Chinese economic history should be written again. Strictly, the domestic academia has been discussing the achievement of Chinese economic history and national competitiveness by economics methods, especially system economics methods in recent years, some of these still take on the penetrating and correct viewpoint; at the same time, the foreign academia also has been carrying on the same theme of discussion now and then. All in all, these discussions are mostly scattered and simple, and lack deep system research. Hence, it doesn't hit the vital point of Chinese economic history structure and its changes. Hence, we should emphases on studying the changes of the national competitiveness from the view of the system transition, and then explain the historical logic of economic development of China.Meanwhile, the economic relation history at home and abroad is always an important aspect in the past study. But the past study focused on from viewpoint of China, and focused on trade condition among China and other countries or areas. But the research under the simple trade condition could not explain why this trade took place and developed. To what extent could this trade develop? Why did this trade have these characteristics? Why did the trade play a very different role in economic changes each side and so on? To explain these all above, we must know about the foundation and motive force on which the trade depends. To accomplish it, we must break through the limitation on study of China;integrate into entirety to research deeply among China and these countries and areas related closely on trade with China.At present, the economic globalization has taken place extent and deep influence to international economy, political and culture relation. That not only displays the intension of international relation under economic globalization is enriched constantly, the interdependence in the international relations is strengthened day by day, but also embodies the mutual influence, interaction and mutual permeation among a various of relations of international economy, political and culture, etc. It has been common understandings of various countries to improve national competitiveness. Since 1978, China has been doing the best effort to reform and improve economic development, and have gone through the transmutation from ignoring the regime to pay attention to the regime. At the beginning of the eighties of the 20* century, on the basis of the traditional planning economy, there were a lot of restriction and lacked the vigor on the economic action. The attention of the theory researchers and policy makers focused on removing controlling restraint, but paid few attention to how to utilize regime to restrict a several of subject behavior after removing traditional administrative restraint. As a result, insufficient regime supply during reform leads to confusion in social economic activities. Some behaviors such as commerce swindles, breaking one's words, and breaking a contract wantonly overflow. The phenomenon of corruption about abusing power for personal is serious. The omission of regime has reduced the efficiency of government and enterprise; illegitimate competitions exist generally, and have influenced seriously national competitiveness promoted fast in our country. The middle and later periods of 1990s, the questions in economical operation was exposed constantly, and a various of research achievements about relevant foreign regimes were introduced into China, some conceptions such as "market economy is economy governed by law", "run the country according to law", and "administer the state according to law" had become a common understanding. All of that has offered a better foundation for realizing correctly the relation among the regime, economy and competitiveness. But all circles have not deep understanding on how to implement these demands in deed.
