On the path of reform that began a quarter-century ago, the Chinese people have made great strides. China’s rapid and sustained economic growth has lifted the living standards of many citizens and raised China into the ranks of the world’s largest economies. This dramatic economic progress shows what is possible when governments leave more decision-making power in the hands of private enterprises and individuals. Above all, it is a tribute to the Chinese citizens whose talents and daily efforts are making this a vibrant modern economy.
China’s economic success has also come about through far greater integration into the world economy. In the last two decades, your country has emerged as a major exporter of all kinds of manufactured goods, from heavy machinery, to computers, to toys. China has gained enormously from access to foreign markets. Its development has also been fueled by vast inflows of investment capital--over 50 billion dollars last year alone.
