In 1978, one of China's most significant basic policies, reform and opening-up, was adopted under the leadership of late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping. Since then, generations of Chinese leaders have been firmly committed to the policy, turning China into a vibrant socialist market economy open to the outside world.

Today's China has become the world's second-largest economy, the largest trading nation, and a major magnet for global investors.
