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 Xi meeting with former Taiwanese leader Ma Ying-jeou (Ma Yingjiu 马英九) (7 November 2015); inspecting troops (30 July 2017); China being designated as organizer for the 2022 Winter Olympics (31 July 2015); and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (16 January 2016).
