Sumario:This paper examines the changes that have taken place in the People's Republic of China since the reforms approved by the  Communist Party of this country in December 1978 which, among other  things, involved abolishing state planning in order to let the  market regulate the economy. This led to considerable economic  growth together with an increase in China's role in world trade and as  the receiver of direct foreign investment. Despite the rise in per capita  income and the reduction of poverty, however, the country has seen an  increase in the inequality between regions and in the distribution of  income, together with the exacerbation of certain problems such as unemployment, migration from the countryside to the city and  corruption. China has begun to question the validity of socialism,  despite defining its economy as a socialist market economy.
