Top team in charge of pushing changes
Print Edition
China is to set up a central leading team for “comprehensively deepening reform,” it was announced after a key Party meeting in Beijing which ended yesterday.
The team will be in charge of designing reform on an overall basis, arranging and coordinating reform, pushing forward reform as a whole, and supervising the implementation of reform plans, according to a communique issued after the Third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee.
Party committees at all levels are urged to fulfil their duties in leading reform, according to the communique.
Professor Xie Chuntao, with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, said setting up the team was necessary because reform will be both unprecedented in scale and degree. A goal had been set to “achieve decisive results in the reform of key sectors by 2020.”
To achieve this, an institution that exercises core leadership was essential because reform on such a large scale will involve not only government institutions but also those of the Party, legislature and judiciary, Xie said.
The meeting held that while comprehensively deepening reform, the Party must strengthen and improve its leadership. It must also give full play to its core role of commanding the whole situation and coordinating the efforts of all quarters, and improve the leadership and governance to ensure the success of reform.
The Party will stick to the policy of reform and opening up, as it has provided important experience for comprehensively deepening reform.
What was most important was upholding the leadership of the Party, implementing the basic line of the Party, rejecting the old and rigid closed-door policy and any attempt to abandon socialism. It was important to adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics and ensure the right direction of reform at all times.
In deepening reform, the Party must also correctly address the relation between reform, development and stability. It must also combine overall design at the top level with the pragmatic reform approach of “crossing the river by feeling the stones.”
Chi Fulin, head of the China Institute for Reform and Development, said the team was a measure “that ensures comprehensively deepening reform, boosting our confidence in further reforms.”
