Overview
This book aims to present a comprehensive account of the history, major policies, and
outstanding achievements of China's opening up to the outside world over the past four
decades. Focusing on China's grand program of opening-up launched in 1978 and based
on an in-depth analysis of a huge amount of firsthand data, the author summarizes the
historical experience and practical implications of China's opening-up in six key areas:
regional opening-up, international trade, utilization of foreign capital, overseas investment,
financial opening-up, and participation in global governance. The author also proposes
new strategies, tasks, and initiatives for promoting comprehensive opening-up in the new
era. At the threshold of a new era, China will ride on the trends of globalization to open
wider to the rest of the world.
