ABSTRACT

"Building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way in China's rural areas" is a task of epic proportions and historic significance. It is also the most challenging link in China's overall strategy. Reaching the grand goal of a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way by the year 2020 requires evaluating the situation in terms of an overarching framework that incorporates a unified approach to urban and rural development. The critical element in setting up a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way involves a coordinated or overall approach to urban and rural development. Tasks and goals that relate to establishing all-round moderate prosperity need to be measured and monitored so as to ensure coordinated action throughout the country. The various tasks involved in creating an all-round moderately prosperous society have changed somewhat as the process has continued.
