Is China´s growth socially pathological? 

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics – International Politics – Region: South Asia, , language: English, abstract: China´s policies seem to be in many ways far apart from what western societies consider being fair and just. The reason is that the Western hemisphere shares a fundamentally different belief system of what ‚justice‘ and freedom‘ mean. This leads to the main question of this paper, if China´s growth is ’socially pathological‘. For answering that, we will first compare China with ‚free market‘ democracies, in a second step provide some data representing indicators for China´s ’social level‘ and in a third step talk about ‚workforce exploitation‘ and perpetrators of partially difficult circumstances.
