📅 18 Desèmber 1978 📍 China

The Third Plenum of the Eleventh Central Committee moved the Party’s focus from class struggle to socialist modernization and endorsed reform and opening as the new strategic direction. It marked a turning point, not a completed market transition: reforms would unfold gradually through rural experimentation, dual-track pricing, foreign investment and enterprise restructuring. A decolonial account tracks both China’s pursuit of autonomy in a world economy shaped by unequal power and the domestic distribution of reform’s gains and costs.
