The widely-known view regarding China's economic transition is that unlike other socialist countries‘ shock therapy, China has succeeded in economic growth through gradual marketization without implementing radical privatization policies. In other words, it is believed that the economic transition in which China's 1980s and 1990s were on a continuous line and the market gradually developed. On the one hand, when the realm of markets without state intervention gradually expanded outside the state plan in the 1980s, the people's voluntary market activities have become active, which is believed to have resulted in explosive economic growth. But if we take a closer look at the actual phase of China's economic growth, we can question the above two common ideas and the narrative structures. In this paper, regardless of mainstream economics and non-mainstream economics, various studies are reviewed and the contents of the problem raised are summarized in two: First, China’s economic system and policies in the 1980s and 1990s could be said to have been qualitatively different systems, not quantitatively gradual expansion, and secondly, the marketization of China from the 1980s to the 1990s was not achieved voluntarily by the people but through the inducement and intervention of the state policies.
