Reform and opening-up led the rapid economic growth in China. According to the constant price after eliminating the price increase factor, China’s GDP40 has increased by 33.5 times in 40 years, which means that it has at least doubled every eight years on average.

If denominated in RMB, in 1978, the answer was more than 1,100 yuan, and by 2017, it had exceeded 880,000 yuan, an increase of 782 times. This has made China’s share in the world’s import and export of goods increase from 0.8% to 11.5%, and its ranking has also jumped from the 29th place 40 years ago to the 1st place in the world. Among them, the export of high-tech products accounted for only about 2% in 1985, and increased to 28.8% in 2017. At the same time, China’s service trade has remained in the second place in the world in the past four years.
