Abstract
China’s welfare regime has been historically characterized by its structural
arrangement, distinguishing itself from that of many other countries. The major difference
lies in the efforts made by the Chinese government to build up a social safety-net
to be compatible not merely with societal needs but more critically with its unique
political structure to ensure its legitimacy and stability are unchallenged. We argue that
while ensuring political stability continues to remain as a policy priority, China’s current
welfare restructuring is being confronted by freed-up market forces that make it
more difficult to acheive a delicate balance between where the needs are and how
resources are allocated.
