China has since made significant strides and overcome a number of challenges. 2002 A well-off society In November 2002, the 16th National Congress of the CPC proposes the concept of building a well-off society - materially and socially both - as the goal of China's accelerated growth and bid to steadily lift living standards. 2003 First man in space On October 15, China successfully launches the Shenzhou V with astronaut Yang Liwei aboard, the first manned spacecraft mission, from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It makes China the third country to launch a human into space after the former Soviet Union and the United States. 2004 Banks go the SOEs' way In 2004, the State Council decides to reform debt-laden State-owned commercial banks (SOCBs) by allocating $45 billion of the nation's foreign exchange reserves to supplement the capital of two pilot SOCBs-Bank of China and China Construction Bank. The same year, the two pilot banks are transformed into State-controlled joint-stock commercial banks. This is a valuable experience for subsequent banking reform in China and is followed by other SOCBs. 2005 Agricultural tax dropped The Standing Committee of the 10th National People's Congress approves the draft to abolish agricultural taxes, relegating the thousands of years old levy system to history. In 2008, the CPC Central Committee again announces a decision to allow farmers to lease or transfer land-use rights in a step to boost incomes in the countryside.

Train to Tibet The Qinghai-Tibet railway is put into operation on July 1. Some 1,000 km of the railway tracks sit 4,000m above sea level. The railway connects Tibet with the hinterland and plays an important role in boosting the local economy. 2007 Property law China's landmark property law, which grants equal protection to both State and private property, is approved by the 10th National People's Congress and takes effect on Oct 1.

Moving on: in space At 16:43 on Sept 27, Chinese astronaut Zhai Zhigang floats out of Shenzhou VII, accomplishing China's first extra-vehicular activity in space. The feat makes China the third country to conduct a spacewalk after Russia and the United States.
