중국의 중소기업과 지원정책

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore China’s SMEs and supporting policies. China rapidly realized economical growth, since Deng Xiaoping began to open the market based on ‘theory of being rich first’. Deng Xiaoping adhered to the conglomerate-oriented growth strategy in that time. However, growed imbalance between regions and classes behind the economical growth based on ‘theory of being rich first’, which has emerged as a critical element in Chinese society. Chinese government recognized the fact that support for SMEs is needed in order to overcome the critical situation and pursued SME development policies. SMEs are important tools that can reduce the disparities between regions and classes because they have highly job creation ability and optimal organizations for the development of the regional special industry. In fact, SMEs now have led to economic growth and development of society and economy in China. The contribution of China’s SMEs to China’s economy is very high, in particular on the employment. They absorb surplus rural labor force and the unemployed workers who released from state-owned enterprises. In that way, they contribute to establish social safety net. SME support policies in China can be divided into financial support, human resources support, market support, start-up support, and we believe that China has the basic framework for SME support. However, China does not nave enough experience to support SMEs, because China made a legal ground or SME support in 2000. But we expect that China’s SMEs can continue with growth, if Chinese government continues to perform with support policies for SMEs.
