Opening Up Broad Prospects for Chinese Modernization Through Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively
The Qiushi commentary on advancing Chinese modernization through further deepening reform comprehensively was published in this year’s 14th issue of Qiushi Journal.
The article notes that at its third plenary session, held from July 15 to 18, the 20th CPC Central Committee studied the issue of further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization and deliberated the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese Modernization.
The Resolution has fully demonstrated the historical initiative of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and modernize China’s system and capacity for governance. It has also showcased the CPC’s resolve to open up broad prospects for Chinese modernization through further deepening reform comprehensively.
Reform and opening up is crucial for the Party and the people to keep pace with the times. The current and upcoming periods are a critical phase for building a great country and advancing national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization. In the face of complex domestic and international landscapes as well as a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, it is necessary to steadily advance reform to meet new expectations from the people. To further deepen reform comprehensively is not only a continuation of reform since the third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in 2013, but the beginning of a new chapter in Chinese modernization in the new era.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core has made the strategic decision to deepen reform comprehensively. Focusing on this goal more than ever before and with unprecedented determination, it has tackled many tough problems and navigated through numerous challenges. As the reform continues to expand in breadth and depth, China has leveraged its system to advance its governance, continuously injecting powerful momentum into Chinese modernization.
Thanks to those innovative reform measures, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has become more mature and well-defined, China’s system and capacity for governance have been further modernized, the cause of the Party and the country has been injected with new life and vigor, and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.
Looking around the world, there is no other country or political party with such remarkable political courage and a strong sense of historical responsibility as China and the CPC, who resolutely carry out bold reforms and remain committed to self-reform, and have the capability to conduct such extensive, large-scale and thorough reform within such a short time frame.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, through deepening reform comprehensively, historic achievements and transformations have been made in all undertakings of the Party and the state, which has fully demonstrated the vital importance of the “Two Affirmations” and the “Two Upholds.” The role of the leadership core of the CPC Central Committee in charting the course, making overall plans, designing policy, and promoting reform has been fully manifested.
We should acquire a deeper understanding of the decisive significance of “Two Affirmations.” We should also strengthen consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership; stay confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and uphold Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. By studying and implementing Xi’s expositions on further deepening reform comprehensively, we will consolidate consensus on this endeavor and continue to push it forward.
