 ”China has witnessed tremendous changes since the adoption of reform and opening policy. ”

For those familiar with China’s politics, is this Deng Xiaoping’s way of justifying the economic reforms he implemented 30 years ago? It’s interesting how it’s specfically 30 years AFTER economic reforms, not after Mao’s rule, sort of giving a lot of credit to Deng Xiaoping to China’s so-called ‘progress’ today, and possibly negating Mao’s contributions.
