Leaping ahead in modern Suzhou VIDEO
I’m Jocelyn from China Daily. I’ve called China home for over a decade. People have often compared Suzhou to its double-sided embroidery, and these days have given me a glimpse into a truly modern side to this city. Through six years of practice and exploration, Suzhou Industrial Park has developed comprehensive services and a unique style of management as it redefines the idea of a new urban community. This Suzhou has captivated me so much that I’m looking forward to tomorrow, when I’ll meet the other half, the traditional one, of this dynamic city.

How did China develop its economy and make grand plans after 1949? VIDEO
In 1953, China's first Five-Year Plan called the entire nation to unite and actively participate in the industrialization drive. During Mao Zedong's first trip to the Soviet Union, he visited the Stalin Automobile Factory. Seeing an assembly line of new cars, he said to his entourage: "We need big factories like this one." After that, the Changchun Number One Automobile Factory produced a sedan car - the Dongfeng. Among mountains, on the plains and in the deserts, driven by the burning passion of the times, a new project was started or completed every day. The People's Republic of China developed rapidly and one success quickly followed another. The goals of the First Five-Year Plan were met in 1956, a year ahead of schedule.

How did China establish its political and economic systems? VIDEO
The Communist Party of China (CPC) held the Third Plenary Session of its Seventh Central Committee from June 6 to 9, 1950, in Beijing. The meeting mainly discussed economic issues. This was a clear indication that the CPC's focus was shifting from revolution to economic development. After the three major transformation movements, a basic socialist economic system had taken root in China in the 1950s, based on public ownership of the means of production and the principle of distribution according to work done.
