Three Primaries in Socialist Markets | Generated by AI
This is a Chinese political economy question about the “Three Primaries, Three Supplements” (三个主体,三个补充) concept in socialist economic theory.
Question Translation: “In the ‘Three Primaries, Three Supplements’ framework, the primary component of the socialist unified market refers to: A. State market B. Free market C. European market D. Asian market”
Explanation:
The correct answer is A - State market.
This concept comes from early Chinese socialist economic theory. The “Three Primaries, Three Supplements” principle outlined that:
The three primaries were:
- State ownership in production
- Planned economy in economic management
- State market in distribution
The three supplements were:
- Individual and collective ownership supplementing state ownership
- Free market supplementing planned economy
- Limited free market supplementing the state-controlled market
According to this framework, within the socialist unified market system, the state market serves as the primary/main body, while the free market (under state leadership and within certain limits) serves only as a supplement to the state market.
Your answer (B - Free market) was incorrect because the free market was positioned as the supplement, not the primary component, in this socialist economic model.
