About

After Mao Zedong’s demise, the new late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping proclaimed, “Socialism is not poverty, to be rich is glorious.” With those words, he changed China from a planned economy to a market oriented economy through various reforms in the 1970’s. Today, China is the World’s fastest growing economy with the World’s second highest purchasing power.
