The accumulated achievements of China since its revolution of 1949 are so great that they have now not only changed the world but must lead every socialist and progressive person to think about their relation to them. This is a situation only comparable to the way Russia''s 1917 revolution transformed the world.China, after its revolution, has achieved the greatest improvement in life of by far the largest proportion of humanity of any country in human history. China''s Great Road explains how China achieved this enormous step forward for humanity. The unequivocal answer the book gives is that socialism achieved this huge advance. It analyses this at numerous different levels. If the international left does not raise itself to understanding China''s successful socialist development then it is lagging in understanding one of the most enormous facts in human history. China''s Great Road both analyses China''s reality and shows how socialists in other countries can and should learn from China.

China in 42 years, 1978-2020, far less than a single lifetime, has gone from one of the world's poorest countries, with more than 850 million people living in internationally defined poverty, to the brink of becoming a high-income economy by World Bank standards. It has achieved total elimination of absolute poverty and the world's fastest rise in average living standards - with life expectancy figures showing that its social conditions are even better than this economic result. This achievement, by a wide margin, has improved the position of by far the largest proportion of humanity of any event in human history. Learning from China's development is of urgent practical interest for all in developing countries. It shows in practice that it is possible to take developing economies and transform them into developed countries by socialist methods in a way far more successful than adopting the path of capitalism - with all the huge gains this means for the life of the people in these countries. Furthermore, China's success has created a huge potential partner for the Global South. In particular, in the coming period 'South-South relations' between China and developing countries will be the progressive pole of world development. The US will continue to pursue an aggressive policy against China with some imperialist countries likely to fall in behind this. China-Global South relations will therefore strengthen with mutual benefit.
