Travaillant d’arrache-pied depuis 2013 à se débarrasser L principalement des alliés de Jiang Zemin, l’alliance Xi-Wang a enfin réussi à purger le Parti-État afin de positionner ses alliés. Ce faisant, la transition qui aura vraiment lieu cet automne n’est pas la transition Hu Jintao- Xi Jinping, celle-ci date déjà de 2012. La transition de 2017 est celle de la Chine des années 1990 à la Chine des années 2010, soitde la Chine de Jiang Zemin à celle de Xi Jinping. Ce sera également le début de l’ère des enfants de la révolution culturelle, des « zhiqing » [知青] (jeunesses envoyées en campagne), qui formeront une majorité au sein du Politburo et qui remanieront la Chine à leur manière. Avec les départs annoncés, Xi pourra enfin former son « bandi » [班底] – garde rapprochée – au sein du Politburo et effectivement mettre en place un agenda de politiques et non pas simplement des mesures visant à faire le ménage au cœur du Parti-État.

  • China's Corn Policy Shifting Into Producer Compensation System
    China’s corn policy shifting into producer compensation system： from price support to direct payment April 1st, 2017 Norinchukin Research Institute Co., Ltd. RUAN Wei, Research Counselor ■Abstract China embarked upon a full-fledged marketization of the economic system at the beginning of the 21st Century, in which Chinese authorities introduced a price support policy for farmers with income transfer being accompanied in order to realize a balanced growth of agriculture with non-agricultural sectors as well as to boost food production in the country. Increases in farmers’ income and food production were concurrently achieved by raising the support prices. At the same time, however, this has brought about a reversal of price difference between imported grains and domestically produced ones. In addition, lower tariff rates on imported grains, which China committed itself at its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), also caused a rapid inflow of imported cheap grains to the Chinese market. Domestically produced grains lost competiveness in the market, which has resulted in piling unsold grains as government’s reserves up to an unprecedented level. Since the year of 2014, China began to change its policy for soybean and corn producers from price support programs to direct payment programs such as a target price system (or deficiency payment) and a producer compensation system. Some effects, including price declines of domestically produced grains and curbed imports, have been already confirmed. Concurrently, however, these policy changes have caused decreases in producers’ profits and an amount of domestic production as well. This paper will focus on China’s producer compensation system applied for corn producers.
