The Chinese economic reform or Chinese economic miracle ,[ 1] [ 2] also known domestically as reform and opening-up (Chinese : 改革开放 ; pinyin : Gǎigé kāifàng ), refers to a variety of economic reforms termed "socialism with Chinese characteristics " and "socialist market economy " in the People's Republic of China (PRC) that began in the late 20th century, after Mao Zedong 's death in 1976. Guided by Deng Xiaoping , who is often credited as the "General Architect", the reforms were launched by reformists within the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on December 18, 1978, during the Boluan Fanzheng period.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] The reforms briefly went into stagnation after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre , but were revived after Deng Xiaoping's southern tour in 1992.[ 7] The reforms led to significant economic growth for China within the successive decades; this phenomenon has since been seen as an "economic miracle".[ 1] [ 2] [ 8] [ 9] In 2010, China overtook Japan as the world's second-largest economy by nominal GDP ,[ 10] [ 11] before overtaking the United States in 2016 as the world's largest economy by GDP (PPP) .[ 12] On the other hand, a parallel set of political reforms were launched by Deng and his allies in the 1980s, but eventually ended in 1989 due to the crackdown on Tiananmen Square protests , halting further political liberalization.[ 13] [ 14]
