China

All for One: China's New Deal

What appears to be the country's generous new bargain is actually a move to strengthen the state

China  announced both economic and political reforms to pave the way for the  country's future. The WSJ's Andrew Browne tells Deborah Kan what Xi  Jinping's China is shaping up to look like.
If human figures were represented at all by the ancient masters of Chinese landscape painting, they appeared as black specks—mere spatters of ink on a silk scroll. This rendering of people with the flick of a brush was intended to demonstrate man's insignificance before the power of nature, but it also mirrored a political reality that has endured to this day. In Chinese civilization, the individual is inconsequential; the state is almighty.
