*Deng is having goal. The strategy for achieving
these aims of becoming a modern, industrial
nation was the socialist market economy. Deng
argued that China was in the primary stage of
socialism and that the duty of the party was to
perfect so-called Socialism with Chinese
characteristics and seeking truth from fact.
*This interpretation of Chinese Marxism reduced
the role of ideology in economic-making and
deciding policies of proven effectiveness. Deng
emphasized that socialism does not mean
shared poverty.
*Deng theoretical:
*Planning and market forces are not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. A planned economy is not the definition of socialism, because there is planning under capitalism, the market economy happens under socialism, too. Planning and market forces are both ways of controlling economic activity.
*This political flexibilty towards the foundations of socialism is strongly supported by quotes such as:
*We mustn’t fear to adopt the advanced management methods applied in capitalist countries…the very essence of socialism is the liberation and development of the productive system…Socialism and market economy are not incompatible…We should be concerned about right-wing deviations, but most of all, We must be concerned about left-wing deviations.

introduction of planned, centralized
management of the macro-economy by
technically proficient bureaucrats, and
abandoning Mao’s mass campaign style of
economic construction.

*1. The Planning
*2. The Centralized Management of the Macro-
Economy supported by effective bureaucrats.

This successful and promising these reforms would be adopted by larger and larger and ultimately introduced nationally. Deng’s concept to be national planning for China economy under his leading.

than political appeals, were to be used to
motivate the labor force, including allowing
peasants to earn extra income by selling the
produce of their private at free market.
*This policy is having a clear goal local
municipalities and provinces were allowed to
invest in industries that they considered most
profitable, which encouraged investment in
light manufacturing. Deng’s strategy to develop
China to an emphasis on light industry and
export-led growth.
*For Deng Xiaoping if China could develop its technology-industry it would give a huge contribution for China economy growth. Light industrial output was vital for a developing country coming from a low capital base. With the short gestation period, low capital requirements, and high foreign exchange export earnings, revenues generated by light manufacturing were able to be reinvested in more technologically-advanced production and further capital expenditures and investments.
*The capital invested heavy industry largely come from the banking system, and most capital came from consumer deposits. One of the first items of Deng reforms was to prevent reallocation of profits excepts through taxation or through the banking system. Hence, the reallocation in state-owned industries was somewhat indirect, thus making them more or less independent from government interference. In short, Deng’s reforms sparked an industrial revolution in China.
*In Deng era. China decided to accelerate the modernization process by stepping up the volume of foreign trade. China bought the machine from Japan and the West countries. The goal was foreign market. China was able to step up the four modernization by attaining certain foreign funds, market, advanced technologies and management experiences, thus accelerating its economic development.
*The reforms centered on improving labor productivity as well. New material incentives and bonus systems were introduced Rural Markets selling peasants homegrown products and the surplus products of communes were revived. Not only did rural markets increase agricultural output, they stimulated industrial development as well. With peasants able to sell surplus agricultural yields on the open market, domestic consumption stimulated industrialization as well as and also created political support for more difficult economic reforms.

architect of China’s economic reforms and
China’s socialist modernization.

construction in China, and criticized those who
were against further economic and openness
reforms,. Although there is debate on whether
or not Deng actually said it, his perceived
catchphrase, to get Rich is Glorious, unleashed
a wave personal entrepreneurship that
continues to drive China’s economy today.
*Deng was instrumental in the opening of
Shanghai’s Pudong new era, revitalizing the
city as china’s economic hub.
*Deng is known to change China from
a country with mass political
movements to a country focused on
economic construction. Deng’s socio-
economic model of a socialist market
economy was a largely book-writing
concept. Deng Xiaoping’s policies are
among some of the most successful
industrialization in human history,
comparable to only the rapid
industrialization of other East Asia
countries.
