I'm going to go with the second option, that they used international investment to stimulate Chinese economy. The SEZs were the result of Deng Xiaoping's reforms that were intended to help kickstart their financial system.

Thanks. The above photograph shows backyard furnaces being used to produce inferior-quality steel in China. Based on the photograph, which of the following statements accurately describes early communist China?

 China attempted to innovate in the area of steel production.

 The Chinese people prospered from industrial advances.

 The Chinese government failed to invest in industrialization.

 China experienced a renewed sense of nationalism.

The third option, that the Chinese government failed to invest in industrialization. "Backyard smelters" like the ones in the photo were typical during the "Great Leap Forward" by Mao Zedong which was a tragic failure. But it also underscored just how behind China's industries were in relation to the rest of the world.
