Fang Cai's book Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts: What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China's Reform and Opening-up? was published in Hungarian by the Publishing Office of the Antall József Knowledge Centre (AJKC) in October 2019. In it, the author provides a comprehensive description of China's successful development path by citing a host of facts and economic data, and explains how China's opening-up policy has been able to boost the high-speed growth of the country’s economy in the past 40 years. By analysing a variety of issues, the author goes through the different stages of economic development and China’s emerging challenges, while also pointing out that further reforms can help achieve sustainable growth.
