Establishment of Special Economic Zones (Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen) under the 1980 NPC Standing Committee resolution, creating geographically delimited zones with preferential tax treatment, relaxed FDI rules, simplified customs procedures, and experimental land-use regimes. Acted as gradualist test-beds for market-oriented reform under the Deng Xiaoping government.
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.
