From the Paper:

"According to Thomas (p.1), the newly established China managed to design and carry out economic development in 1945. To carry out this development, People's Republic of China carried out development measures, which led to an annual average economic growth rate of approximately 4%, which was recorded from 1953 to 1978 (Thomas, p.1). According to research, China economic development was among the highest in developing world. However, it is irrefutable to note that, serious economic development in China began with post-Mao economic reforms.
"The post-Mao economic reforms, which have since managed to achieve more than 8% of per capital economic growth annually, recorded the highest economic development rate in China's economic development (Burn, par.4). Studies, which have been published on China's economic development and the country's dramatic post-1978 expansion of its economy point to both global and domestic factors in order to explain the economic growth that found its momentum in 1949. Domestic factors include, high saving rates, economic development policies of People's Republic of China, investment capital and its regulation by the government, the Confucian culture of the Chinese people as well as the Chinese experienced with their pre-1949 global economy."
