The Chinese government is looking for a solution to the protests that have occurred in China’s rural areas over recent years, a senior CPC member said in Beijing on Wednesday.
“Although these incidents have only occurred occasionally in a few rural villages, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the government have attached close importance to this issue and are looking for ways to tackle the problem,” said Ouyang Song, deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.
China is now undergoing a transition from GDP per capita 1,000 US dollars to 3,000 US dollars, which “is a golden time for development, as well as a time of conflicts,” Ouyang said.
