Abstract: It's necessary to summarize the successful experience in the nearly 40 years of reform and opening-up in China so as to respond to the recent deglobalization trend and the resistance encountered in the reform. Promoting the reform via openingup is the important component of successful experience. The establishment of special economic zones, introduction of foreign capitals, entry into WTO, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program, China（Shanghai）Pilot Free Trade Zone and the construction of the Belt and Road are the classical cases of promoting reform via openingup, and among them, some cases also indicate the characteristics of“opening-up being reform”. Summarizing the successful experience helps us explore new thoughts on effectively implementing reform measures and further orderly opening-up.
