"To get rich is glorious," said the late Deng Xiaoping in what has become a motto for the Chinese economic transformation over the past two decades.

I know "what" refers to  "to get rich is glorious", right?   But what does "in what" here refer to?  the connotation in Deng's comment?

PS:  how do you guys call "to get rich is glorious", comment? sentence? remark?

Thank you.

'to get reach is glorious,' is the antecedent of 'what'.
is it what you mean?
mind you, the quotation ends with a comma, which means this is not the whole of the sentence (motto).
that is why 'in what' - 'to get reach is glorious' is in the motto, this is not the motto, just a part of it.
ok?
