Landmark shift from Maoist central-planning autarky to market-oriented development under Deng Xiaoping. Key components: (1) household responsibility system replacing agricultural collectivisation (1978-1983); (2) Special Economic Zones (Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen — 1980) for export-oriented FDI; (3) dual-track pricing system transitioning from plan to market (phased through 1990s); (4) township-village enterprises as non-state-non-private firms; (5) state-owned-enterprise corporatisation beginning 1984-93; (6) coastal-open-city strategy 1984. Produced 9-10% annual GDP growth 1978-2010. Framework treats this as the largest-scale documented liberalisation-then-growth trajectory case.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
