Question

in what ways did china change economically under the four modernizations program? check all that apply. china became more open to foreign trade and investment. the government allowed some private ownership of business. all planning of the economy was done by the government. all businesses switched from public ownership to private ownership. the government designated certain areas as special economic zones. the economic system completely changed from communism to capitalism.

Explanation:

The Four Modernizations promoted market-oriented reforms while retaining state involvement:

1. Opening to foreign trade/investment was a core reform to access global markets and capital.
2. Limited private business ownership was permitted to stimulate economic activity, moving beyond full state control.
3. Special Economic Zones were established to test market reforms and attract foreign investment.

The other options are incorrect: full government planning was reduced, not all businesses shifted to private ownership, and the system remained a socialist market economy, not a full switch to capitalism.

Answer:

• China became more open to foreign trade and investment.
• The government allowed some private ownership of business.
• The government designated certain areas as special economic zones.
