Life in China, the world's most populous nation, is generally more affluent than ever before. But since the onset of opening up and reform some 30 years ago, its citizens are also subject to greater strain. A more meritocratic approach enables Chinese people fully to exert their talents and achieve personal dreams. Growing marketization has remarkably boosted productivity, substantially augmenting public and individual wealth. Greater emphasis on democracy and the rule of law in China's institutions has enabled the government to bow out of the personal life of Chinese citizens, leaving them to make their own choices.
