  2. Phillip
    The two things the Chinese Economic Reform has done:
    1) The meeting in 1978 “terminates” the class struggle.
    2) Sparked the debate from 1989-1991 between Capitalism or Socialistic economic endeavors.

  3. Jingyi (Yvonne)考试的两个重点:

    -“The first point is that a market economy is better than a planned central economy. This has been illustrated by the successful experiment in Shenzhen.”

    -“The second point is that there has arisen a debate between using a capitalist or socialist economy. This greatly hinders the economy.”

  4. A) China’s economic reform began a transition from a planned economy towards a market economy, this transition was summed up in the phrases “primarily planned, market-supported economy”. However the “door was opened” and the market economy outgrew the initial framework.
    B) Land reform: the household responsibility system allowed families to rent land from the government and keep the goods grown from their land, beginning of privatization.
