In late 1978 China’s economic reforms began. Over the past three decades, tremendous economic changes have taken place in China. From a country whose economy was on the brink of collapse to one of the major economies in the world today, China’s experience of economic growth provides a wealth of issues for academics, government policy makers and business personnel all over the world to think over. This Conference is thus dedicated to exploring China’s 30 years’ of economic growth, and aims to draw experience and lessons that are of interest to academics, policy makers, and business personnel.
