Abstract
In December 1978, under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) determined the ‘Reform and Opening-Up Policy’ at the Central Work Conference, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee. The shift in the overall strategic focus of the Chinese policymakers towards economic growth marks the beginning of a historical process of integration of the Chinese market into the global. However, Western countries’ expectation of China ‘change through trade’ has failed. The economic reform did not lead to a change of the political system in China.
