Social Welfare in China

From the talk I heard a couple of weeks ago, to this recent publication: http://www.carnegieendowment.org/publications/index.cfm?fa=view&id=19828&prog=zch , it can be clearly stated, China is in desparate need for better social welfare. So, the question is "What can be done?" A brief search of the internet, and the most I can find is a few articles and suggestions from around 2001 and 2002. Is there any plan to bring better social welfare to China now? Is the Chinese government planning on implementing the plan if it exists? Let's hope so.
