“China’s Reform and Opening Up: Four Decades of Legacies and Lessons” Conference
February 8, 2019 | 8:10 am - 4:20 pm | LBJ School of Public Affairs, SRH 3.124
China is commemorating four decades since it turned away from Mao Zedong Thought, and toward the blend of market and socialist policies initiated in 1978 by Deng Xiaoping collectively known as Reform and Opening Up. Over that time, much has changed. China has gone from mostly rural to mostly urban, from poor to middle income, and from militarily weak to powerful.
