Summary

This book delves deep into the remarkable transformation of Chinese children, who now represent the nation’s future and hope. With “Chinese children” as the central focus and national policies and statistical data as the basis, it explores the Chinese government’s consistent attention and significant investment in children’s survival and development, as well as the evolution of the protection of children’s rights in China, thus presenting a panoramic historical picture of the survival and development of Chinese children.
Child development in China is a key part of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This book, covering education, health, policies, laws, culture and society, fills a research gap in the field of child development in China and offers authentic materials for the understanding and research of child development in contemporary China.
