Abstract: Abstract We developed through struggling between a planned economy and a market economy. Back then, there was a planned economy in China, a market economy outside; we were surviving in the cracks of these two. We were the practitioners of the policy reform since the very beginning. I had always been struggling to figure out what fit in the trend of society and the rules of the economy, and how to keep up to speed with them. The biggest achievement of the Reform and Opening-up was the real implementation of a market economy. It was a significant process from the planned economy to “the planned economy supplemented with a market economy”, and finally, slowly developed into a socialist market economy. China is a big country. It certainly takes the socialist road. Capitalism will also turn into socialism. Any doctrine can be used to benefit the society when it develops to its right phase. So I believe this socialist market economy will not change in at least 100 years. Joining the WTO was also a very important reform. A real super power must not be a closed country; it has to merge with the wider global environment to become stronger. The bigger the pool, the bigger the fish. Fish in a river are grass carp; they will become sharks once they enter the ocean. (Shang Silin 2008)
