The Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution are examples of how centrally planned policies lead to disastrous outcomes, both of which my wife's family had to suffer through.

If anything, the amazing acceleration in growth post-1978 highlights the stark limitations of a centrally planned system and the effectiveness of China's capitalist market reforms that unlocked its economic potential.
