【About the Series】
The “Understanding Contemporary China” series consists of 10 courses focused on “Chinese Modernization.” It covers topics including the economy, politics, culture, society, and environmental sustainability (ecological civilization). Designed primarily for international students and visitors, this series brings key aspects of China’s development to life. It aims to help learners gain a comprehensive understanding of China’s realities, systems, and policies, enabling them to interpret the changes in contemporary China and grasp the logic driving its progress.
This course focuses on the essence of China’s in-depth reform, providing a comprehensive interpretation of the reform practices and institutional innovations in five key areas: government services, educational equity, healthcare, housing security, and economic reform.
Through vivid cases and systematic analysis, you will explore:
· How the Beijing 12345 Hotline builds a bridge of trust between citizens and the government, using digital tools to respond to people's needs with efficiency and care;
· How synchronized classrooms and dropout prevention initiatives narrow the educational gap, bringing equal learning opportunities to children in both cities and rural areas;
· How real-time medical insurance settlements and the expansion of quality healthcare resources ease the burden of medical costs, making health services more accessible and affordable for families;
· How affordable housing programs and improved rural living environments help fulfill the dream of “a home for everyone,” creating a sense of security and belonging;
· How a more open business environment and industrial upgrading inject new vitality into the economy, offering more opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive.
These reforms, interconnected and people-focused, reflect China’s commitment to tackling challenges with both determination and compassion—building a modern society that is both dynamic and caring, and advancing steadily toward the goal of national rejuvenation.
