¤ Deng Xiaoping was a chinese politician, statesman, theorist, and diplomat. As leader of the Communist Party of China, Deng was a reformer who led China towards a market economy. As a supporter of Mao Zedong, Deng was appointed by Mao to several important posts in the new government. While Deng never held office as the head of state, head of government or General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (historically the highest position in Communist China), he served as the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978 to the early 1990s.
During the 1980s, the PRC passed several stages, ranging from the establishment of special economic zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou in Guangdong Province and Xiamen in Fujian Province. The Government and Deng gave SEZs special economic policies and flexible governmental measures. This allows SEZs to utilize an economic management system that is especially conducive to doing business that does not exist in the rest of mainland China.
Deng opened China to foreign investment, the global market, and limited private competition. He is generally credited with advancing China into one of the fastest growing economies in the world for over thirty years and raising the standard of living of hundreds of millions of Chinese.
