Nation鈥檚 reform drive 鈥榬evolution鈥

A top-level reform group headed by President Xi Jinping has likened the country’s reform drive to a “revolution.”

“Reform is a revolution that aims to rectify the system and challenge vested interests. There is no way to do it other than using real swords and spears,” said a statement released after a meeting of the Leading Group for Overall Reform, using a Chinese idiom that underscores the importance of concrete action.

In the statement, local Party committees at all levels are urged to focus on the major obstructions to reform which are holding back local development and are closely related to the people’s immediate interests.

The statement called for precise and innovative measures based on detailed research and careful evaluation, stressing that “officials daring to reform should be promoted and those lacking the reform spirit should be demoted.”

The system to award outstanding performance and punish underachievers should be improved, it added.
