  Xiaokang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xiaokang society (Simplified Chinese=小康社会 Traditional Chinese=小康社會 pinyin=xiǎokāng shèhuì English Translation=society of small peace/comfort/health) is a society of modest means, or a middle-class society.
The vision of a xiaokang society is one in which most people are moderately well off and middle class, and in which economic prosperity is sufficient to move most of the Chinese population into comfortable means, but in which economic advancement is not the sole focus of society.
The revival of the concept of a xiaokang society was in part a criticism of Chinese social trends in the 1990s under Jiang Zemin, in which many in China felt was focusing too much on the newly rich and not enough on China's rural poor.

After China adopted reform and open policies, the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping used xiaokang, a household term in China, to describe Chinese-style modernization and referred to it as a goal to be attained by the Chinese nation by the end of the 20th century.

Xiaokang remains the goal of China's modernization drive but it denotes a life of greater affluence than it is today.

 Report Reveals Progress towards Xiaokang Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The country as a whole still has a long way to go before it reaches the goal of a xiaokang society (one that is comprehensively better-off), in spite of the rapid economic and social improvements in many localities, according to a report released yesterday by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing.
Based on specialized research conducted over the past decade, the report has produced, for the first time, a complete set of standards defining a xiaokang society, which was the goal set by the 16th Congress of the Communist Party of China last year.
According to the report, the country failed to perform well in several major indicators of a better-off society, such as the number of college students in every 10,000 people, the number of phones in every 100 households and the number of computers in every 100 urban households.

According to the Beijing Times, a xiaokang society will mean a phone, color TV, washing machine and refrigerator in every rural home, and 10 to 12 years of education for every villager.
``A xiaokang society is the centuries-old dream of the Chinese people to escape from poverty and rise to a prosperous life,'' the paper said.
``We have already become 'little xiaokang.' Now we want to be real xiaokang like in Beijing.'' Zhao, who used a neighbor's donkey to turn the sandy earth for winter, said village life was unrecognizable compared with his experiences as a boy, when many in Huanghua starved after the government forced farmers onto communes.

Confucian in origin, the 3,000-year-old term refers to a condition of moderate prosperity, and its fleshing out as the new party slogan is meant to appease the grievances of millions of Chinese peasants and workers who have been left by the wayside by more than 20 years of wrenching market reforms.
As the Chinese communist leadership is still loath to admit that its ultimate goal is to create a middle class, party theoreticians have opted for a term with rich historical overtones that would appeal both to China's nascent well-off groups and placate the disgruntled social classes.
Judging by the pronouncements at the 16th Party Congress, where a new leadership with Vice President Hu Jintao as elected as party chief, Beijing is coming to grasp the magnitude of social risks hidden beneath the country's growing wealth gap.
