Abstract

China has consolidated its position in the world as the second largest economy. Four decades ago, China was one of the poorest economies prior to economic reforms. Yet, China’s reforms are unique as they were implemented gradually and experimental in nature, which contrasted the reforms in other transitioning economies. Understanding these directions can provide a deeper understanding for the future of China’s growth. This paper provides a critical review of the reforms, highlighting the importance of the agricultural and non-state sector during initial reforms. Furthermore, the review discusses the substandard performance of the state sector despite various reforms, prior to the implementation of widespread reforms to open its economy. Finally, China’s sources of economic growth are discussed, and future policy implications are offered to direct China into an economically sustainable growth path.
