Reform of the urban industrial and commercial economy was
formally initiated with the landmark "Decision of the Central
Committee of the Chinese Communist Party on Reform of the Economic
Structure" issued in October 1984. The radical changes contained in
the urban program were revealed as it unfolded, and they heralded
additional tensions. The urban program was accompanied by a less
publicized but apparently spectacularly successful program for
developing rural industry. These programs presented considerable
challenges for the political system. The strain was intensified by
the fact that the urban reform system was being implemented at a
time when the party rectification program was extending below the
central level, into all areas of society.
