socialist market economy


Explanation:
Socialist market economy. From Wikipedia:
The socialist market economy is the official term used to refer to the economic systems of the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It is also referred to as socialism with Chinese characteristics and Đổi Mới, respectively.

Description

The socialist market economy is a concept first proposed by Deng Xiaoping in order to incorporate the market into the then planned economy in the People's Republic of China. Following its implementation, this economic system has supplemented the centrally planned economy in the People's Republic of China and has been attributed to the high growth rates in GDP during the past decades. Within this model, privately owned enterprises which are the back bone of the economic system. Most of the economic growth in China is attributed to the private sector, which grows at twice the official rate of increase and is continually expanding. However, the size of the private sector is notoriously difficult to pin down as the private sector is likely underestimated by state officials in calculation of GDP due to its propensity to ignore small entrepreneurs and private enterprises being not registered. In addition, private entreprenurs have a propensity to claim to be collectives and underreport the size of their business. The private sector generate anywhere between 33% (People's Daily Online 2005) to 70% (BusinessWeek, 2005) of GDP in 2005, while the OECD estimate is over 50%, a figure that might be even greater considering the Chengbao system, in which entreprenurs operate assets which nominally belong to the government. The state retains control of some strategic industries.
