Exploring Comprehensive Reforms

Thirty years ago, China took to the road of reform and opening up to the outside world under the guidance of its chief architect Deng Xiaoping. The development and opening of Pudong in Shanghai is one of the outstanding achievements of Dengs theory on building socialism with Chinese characteristics. Former President Jiang Zemin once described it as "the symbol of Chinas reform and opening up." Those who are engaged in the study of Chinese economy in general and Chinas reform and opening up program in particular may well use it for case study and as a window for observation.
This book reviews the progress of Pudongs development. At the same time, it reveals the key concepts and basic views formed by the leaders of Shanghai and participants in Pudongs development in the course of their exploration.
