摘要
AT the main entrance of Zhongnanhai in downtown Beijing where the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC)and the offices of the State Council,China’s cabinet,are located,stands a traditional screen wall inscribed with a slogan in Chinese,meaning“serve the people.”This concept is the base to understand how China is governed in contemporary times,the period in which it has reached its greatest dynamism,resilience and size in its entire history.It is also the starting point to understand“common prosperity,”currently a hot topic across China and abroad.Burgeoning inequality is a problem shared in most of the world,but the way to tackle the problem differs.The meaning and scope of China’s efforts have been misunderstood by some.
