.... in what .....
"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.
