Hai Wen, economist and vice president of Peking University, has for many years been involved in in-depth investigation and research of China's medical reform, earning a reputation as one of the foremost economists in the field of medical reform. However, in the recent debate on medical reform policy, Hai Wen deliberately decided to keep a low profile. In his view, some of the ideas coming out of academic circles these days are "too short-sighted and political-motivated." During this interview, he talks about this recent round of medical reform debate, its challenges, and prospects for future reform.

How to establish a perfect medical system has always been a global challenge. If there was one event that commanded most of our attention from start to finish in 2007, it was medical reform. In the past, China underwent two medical system periods: one during the planned economy and another during the reform-and-opening-up period characterized by market-oriented reform. In 2006, after ten years of reform efforts, China's healthcare system found itself almost back where it started, a process that has brought with it its share of resentment and expectations from the public at large.

In the 10th Five-Year Plan period, China sustained rapid industrial development, registering remarkable industrial profitability and doubling industrial profits, taxes and labor productivity. With significant increases in fixed-asset investments and the rising proportion of heavy and chemical industries, however, China also found product supply and demand tensions exacerbated in such primary industries as energy and raw materials. On the upside, thanks to price escalation and production scale expansion, coal, oil, natural gas, steel, and chemical feedstock industries significantly increased sales and profit margins, contributing to over one-half of China's total industrial profits. On the downside, however, electronic and transportation equipment manufacturing industries suffered drastic profit declines due to raw material price increases and a decrease in product sales. Energy inefficiency became more pronounced because of failures to effectively re-adjust the industrial structure in tandem with energy consumption increases, resulting in inefficient energy utilization among small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). On the environmental front, China registered significant achievements in environmental treatment, with emissions intensity of key pollutants steadily declining. To realize energy conservation and sustain pollution emission targets laid down in the 11th Five-Year Plan, China still faces daunting challenges ahead.

Based on the latest data, this paper analyses the profitability status of Chinese enterprises and the reasons behind profitability. The authors hold that the profitability of Chinese industrial enterprises has improved significantly whilst the degree of monopolization and extent of entry barriers in the industrial sector has decreased. With the exception of a few resource and administrative monopolizing industries, the increasing profitability of Chinese enterprises indicates rising competitiveness. Improved management level, efficient assets operation, enhanced investment benefits and salary-transfer-profit are all contributing to the profitability of enterprises.

This paper analyzes Chinese enterprise industrial profit distribution and profitability rise between 1998 and 2005. Looking at it from the perspective of drivers of total growth, this paper will provide an in-depth analysis of the origins and industry-level factors involved in this growth. It reaches the conclusion that structural change in profits was the main driving force for profit increases, to which heavy industry contributed greatly. Light and machine building industry profit rates improved due to increases in productivity levels, while energy and raw material industry profits increased due to increases in product prices. In addition, average wages grew slower than GDP, and wages among industries varied widely. In general however, this paper sets out to determine which enterprises gained from increases in industrial profitability, and how this gain came about.

Rectifying the structural imbalance between the provision of and demand for rural public services can effectively boost the efficiency of public funds utilization and the level of public service provision. Based on the findings of a field survey, this article presents a summary of the structural imbalance between the provision of and demand for rural public services. This paper holds that the structural imbalance is primarily reflected in the dislocation between provision and demand, the unsuitable mode of provision, the monolithic provision mechanism, the excessive focus on construction at the expense of governance and the overemphasis of counties and townships at the cost of villages. Such structural imbalance is principally because of the limited financial strength of government at the grass-roots level due to treasury centralization and the over-dependence of public services on special funds allocated by government at or above provincial level.

At present, China finds itself at a crucial moment of development. Economic growth should embody the requirement of "sound and fast" development, whose prerequisite should be reasonable and orderly income distribution. Theory and the experience of other countries show that when making the transformation from a moderate to high income society, wide income distribution discrepancies may hinder economic growth. To avoid falling into this trap, China needs to strike a balance between utilizing both market mechanisms and government regulation to achieve a "fair" and "efficient" income balance during the rudimentary and redistribution phase.

Economic growth and structural change has caused China to consume an increasingly immense amount of mineral resources. This article is intended to present a fundamental picture of mineral resource shortages facing China through an in-depth analysis of mineral reserves, demand and supply as well as structure. We believe that China will continue to face a shortage of certain representative minerals resources in the foreseeable future. As a result, China has to rely on imports of such minerals to meet surging domestic demand.

The Belle Corporation is a Chinese domestic shoe maker and seller. It also belongs to an industry that has come to be representative of the ubiquitous "Made in China" label. One of the main reasons the company is favored by global investors is due to its unique business pattern-a pattern that sets manufacturing as its base and is active in exploring industrial chain downstream links and establishing its own individual retail channels. Ever since its first inception in the stock market, Belle has set out to acquire several upstream manufacturing companies, indicating its desire for increasing channel terminals. Using a vertically integrated competition strategy, Belle stands out amongst its rivals as being particularly successful in the non-mainstream manufacturing sector. Consequently, its business practices can be used as a model for other domestic manufacturing companies in their efforts to meet the challenges posed by globalization.
