Complete issue of Time Magazine from January 1, 1979, 8 x 10.75, 64 pages, honoring Deng Xiaoping as Time's 'Man of the Year,' signed toward the upper right in black felt tip by the visionary leader of China. The cover features a portrait of Deng Xiaoping by artist Richard Hess. In fine condition, with slight uniform overall fading. Accompanied by four color photographs, each taken during New York Senator Robert Garcia's visit to Beijing in early 1979, showing Garcia, Deng, or Chief U.S. Liaison to the People's Republic of China Leonard Woodcock, including one showing Deng signing the copy of the January 1, 1979 issue of Time Magazine. A remarkable, well-documented piece, signed by the 'Architect of Modern China.'
Deng, as vice premier, overthrew Hua Guofeng to assume de facto control over China as paramount leader in 1978. He engaged with President Jimmy Carter to establish formal diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979. This historic diplomatic step allowed for increased economic and cultural exchanges, helping open China to the world and laying the groundwork for its modernization.
