it was deng xiaoping that did it. as for isolating china, that worked so well in making china democratic and prosperous from 1949-1972, now, didn't it i'm sure a collapse of government and anarchy in china would have done wonders for investment.
Disagree, it was the Chinese people who did it. All Deng did was recognise the oppertunity offered by Nixon. base don the general sucess stories of Eastern Europe, China may have well avoided Russia's fate and still become an Asian economic giant.
