Chairperson, China is a country we as South Africa have a lot to learn from. In a period of forty years, China experienced unprecedented levels of economic growth and development and were able to lift 800 million people out of poverty.
The study tour primarily looked at how the Chinese government is able to manage ethnic difference amongst various ethnics, because while China doesn't have such a racial divide history as we have it. They have a clear ethnic difference amongst its people but the manner in which the Chinese government has gone about managing these differences and building a cohesive society is not through a mystical idea of a rainbow nation. It has done this by developing a force of production of the country and by economically emancipating its people. This is based on the correct Marxist assumption by that by addressing the economic differences amongst people, providing economic liberation and democratising the means of production the social differences amongst people slowly resolve themselves.
