It is very astonishing to see what China has achieved so far. Thanks to Mr. Deng Xiaoping, who decided to implement the great Reforming and Opening Policies which established a significant base for further development and communication with western nations. I once talked to a student from Portugal and I asked why he decided to learn Chinese. He gave me the most unexpected answer. He said, “Because Deng Xiaoping! He’s a great guy, truly, I respect him a lot, but I also hate him because he made China today, so strong and so beautiful that I HAVE TO learn Chinese to know her better!”

Look at some incredible facts about China’s rising economy.

In 2005, Chinese computer maker Lenovo completed its $1.75 billion purchase of IBM’s personal computer division, creating the world’s third-largest PC maker. The deal — one of the biggest foreign acquisitions ever by a Chinese company — is expected to quadruple sales of Lenovo Group Ltd., already Asia’s biggest computer maker. 5 years later, in 2010, Chinese carmaker Geely Holdings Group completed its $1.8 billion-buyout of Ford Motor Co's Volvo unit, which is another landmark foreign acquisition by a Chinese company.
