Abstract

The Chinese development model has been shaped to get distanced from the Washington model. It was set out as an alternative view to the American assumptions, but it brought about some convergences and similarities regarding the biased understanding of development. China occupies a prestigious place regarding their GDP but their human indicators do not appear as prosperous a the economic ones. e Beijing Consensus is a listing of tasks intended to attain some economic standards and growth and so it is not a development model. The dehumanization of the development notion in the Chinese model has brought Beijing to a relevant position of macroeconomic growth, but getting distanced from those variables imperative for a comprehensive development. Although the human development index is high in China, the way of measuring this indicator is still mostly based on economic issues. This way they are quite distanced from the essential human development, which should be a consequence of the economic objectives: Improving the standard of living of the whole population is the purpose of development.
