Joyce Etuke · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  Central planning in the Soviet Union and pre-reform China prioritized the production of heavy industry and infrastructure, rather than consumer goods. This was done in order to develop the economy and catch up with more industrialized countries. As a result, consumer goods were often in short supply and of low quality. It was not until later reforms that there was a focus on improving the standard of living for citizens through the production of consumer goods.
