A 1992 World Bank working paper distills six lessons from China’s post-1978 reforms, emphasizing leading-sector sequencing, gradualism, and the institutional conditions needed to sustain productivity gains.

Vietnam’s Communist Party unanimously reappointed To Lam as general secretary through 2030, reinforcing near-term political stability and signalling continued administrative overhaul.
