In the past few decades, China has undertaken several reforms. From the options you provided, the following are relevant:
- **let entrepreneurs set up businesses**: This reflects China's economic reforms that began in the late 1970s, which encouraged private entrepreneurship and foreign investment.
- **permitted farmers to sell land**: This aligns with agricultural reforms that allowed for more economic freedom among farmers, including the ability to sell or lease land use rights under certain conditions.
The other options listed (allowing sovereignty in Tibet, closing down labor camps, returning Hong Kong to British control, and providing protections for free speech) do not represent reforms in the sense of liberalization or opening up that have occurred in China over the last few decades. In fact, China has maintained strict control over Tibet, closed and maintained labor camps, retained sovereignty over Hong Kong after 1997, and imposed significant limitations on free speech.
