China’s transition from manufacturing to services: Tertiary sector to become the backbone of the economy

SUMMARY

The Chinese government has in recent years adopted policies actively encouraging the growth of its tertiary sector. These include reforms easing access to the Chinese market for foreign companies, as well establishing a fund which will assist companies in the services sector.

Overall, China’s percentage share of global GDP has risen from 4.6% in 1950 to more than 20% by 2016.

Emissions from factories and a growing middle class population that is increasingly able to afford fossil fuel driven vehicles instead of relying on bicycles for transport, means that pollution at certain times of the year exceeds 20 times the limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO) as to what it considers “maximum healthy exposure” to pollution.

One major way in which the Chinese government wants to move the country towards becoming a service oriented economy is by boosting the exports of services and thereby reducing reliance on manufacturing exports.

Chinese middle class the world’s largest as wages and urbanization continue to rise
Manufacturing key to strong historic growth yet consequences include heavy pollution
Transition from manufacturing to service oriented economy recieves government support
Demand for higher-end products, increasing wages and declining health increase calls for change
Government establishes $4bn fund to encourage high end services exports
Double digit rise in foreign funded companies indicates early success
Services will increasingly form the backbone of the Chinese economy
Tertiary sector now accounts for half of Chinese GDP
