Abstract: Abstract The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, held on 18–20 December 1978, marked the starting point of China’s subsequent reform and openness policy. For 20 years since then, China’s economy has exhibited outstanding growth, maintaining favorable development even today. In those years, the world witnessed the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989 and the country’s traditional political wrangles between right and left, which inevitably had impacts on its economy. Nonetheless, since 1992 when Deng Xiaoping delivered talks during his trip to southern China, the reform and the openness policy has been firmly fixed as an increasingly clear-cut direction in which the country is heading.
