Is China's growth socially pathological?

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject 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 "e;justice"e; and freedom"e; mean. This leads to the main question of this paper, if China's growth is "e;socially pathological"e;. For answering that, we will first compare China with "e;free market"e; democracies, in a second step provide some data representing indicators for China's "e;social level"e; and in a third step talk about "e;workforce exploitation"e; and perpetrators of partially difficult circumstances.
