Photo exhibition 'China's economic reform -- 40 years in the making' opens in New York

"The photos tell a very interesting story from where China has come from to where China is going," Robert Powers told Xinhua when appreciating the pictures at the exhibition.

Putting the knowledge of China into images makes the Chinese culture a lot easier for a westerner to understand, he said.

The exhibition was hosted by Bank of China, New York Branch, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up.
