Chinas recent economic growth has expanded industrialization and urbanization, upgraded consumption, increased social mobility, and initiated a shift from an economy based on agriculture to one based on industry and services. However, more than half of Chinas people still live in rural areaswhere average income per capita is less than a third of the urban average.China has adopted a new development paradigm in its 11th Five-Year Plan (covering 200611), emphasizing the building of a Harmonious Society (he xie she hui) with more balanced development across regions. The new development paradigm adopts a scientific view of the development process that emphasizes sustainable growth and people-centered. The government has increased its commitment to pro-poor, pro-rural programs, with attention being turned toward relative poverty reduction and narrowing the rural-urban income divide. Informatizationdefined as the transformation of an economy and society driven by information and communications technology (ICT)is increasingly being explored as a way of helping poor people.
