Abstract: China's transition is uncompleted in terms of privatization and of government intervention into economic activities. However, China performed relatively well in handling the 1997 Asia Financial Crisis and the 2008 American Financial Storm, as it keeps a strong government on both macro-economic management and corporate activities. This paper provides some evidence from China to support the theories of developmentalists on the active role of governments in economic development and market failures. We argue that the success of transition requires a balance of market power and government regulations.
