By 2013, Xi Jinping had become the paramount leader of China.
And the nation he presides over now is one marked by Deng's strong influence.
But there are some key differences.
China has defined itself as a manufacturing superpower, with Shenzhen serving as a symbol, and America is its favorite customer.
Both nations sort of depend on each other in a symbiotic relationship.
But China's technological advancements are changing the dynamic for the future.
In May of this year, President Trump visited China and addressed President Xi Jinping.
They talked about global trade, security issues, and the two countries' business relationship.
The U.S.
knows this relationship with China is essential to its own economy.
Think of the relationship between the two countries like a snake eating its tail, one feeding the other.
As much political rivals as they are capitalist collaborators.
And just offscreen from this scene playing out today is Deng Xiaoping in the distant wings, who first set it all in motion.
And that's it for this week's show.
I'm Randa Abdel-Fattah.
