In 2017, the Propaganda and Education Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department published a 10-poster series marking the 40th anniversary of the adoption of Deng Xiaoping's proposal to reform and open up the nation.

While lip service is paid to Deng, as well as his successors Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, the main thrust of the series focusses on Xi Jinping, who is the subject of the majority of the posters.

The Xi Jinping era (2012 -- present) continues. Photographs show the APEC Meeting (11 November 2014, with Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin); the opening of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Exchange (November 2014) and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Exchange (December 2016).
