China has addressed child mortality through careful central planning and the coordinated, massive improvement in social determinants of child survival, near-universal primary health care, expanded vaccination coverage, economic growth, infrastructure development, health-systems building, integration of minority populations, maternal education, improved sanitation, and the introduction of the "one child" policy.
