In 1978, Deng Xiaoping Relaunched his “Reform and Opening” policy to leverage Western technology and know-how for China’s development … Deng recognized that China’s modernization required both pragmatism and humility. Today, the roles are reversing. Leaders of multinational corporations must adopt a certain Deng-like pragmatism and humility. Those who do will see profitable global growth and will have a leg up in their home markets, provided they seize opportunities in the four key strengths of the Chinese economy.
