Deeper Reform Requires Greater Resolve

I

Since the 19th CPC National Congress in 2017, on the basis of the achievements of reform after the 18th National Congress in 2012,the CPC Central Committee has lost no time in advancing reform measures of overall importance, making major progress in furthering reform in all respects.To move ahead, we should focus our strength on major difficulties and tough battles, stimulate the vitality of our systems, take advantage of all experience gained at the grassroots, and encourage officials to work hard and be achievers, thereby effectively furthering reform in all respects.

(from the speech at the third meeting of the Central Commission for Further Reform, July 6, 2018)

II

Implementation is the key to successful reform, and it is also a difficult task. As we enjoy evermore favorable conditions for pursuing and implementing reform, and the theoretical, practical and institutional foundations of reform grow stronger,along with public support, we should concentrate more energy and make greater efforts to ensure effective implementation, improve leadership and coordination, and focus our reform on practical problems.

(from the speech at the fourth meeting of the Central Commission for Further Reform, September 20, 2018)

III

Starting a new historical period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 1978 was a landmark event. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in 2013 was also a mile-stone because it started a new era for further reform on all fronts and for planning and advancing reform in a systematic and holistic way. It broke new ground in our drive for reform and opening up. Aiming for decisive achievements in important areas and key aspects of reform by 2020, we should continue to fight tough battles, crack hard nuts,and ensure we succeed in every single reform that we initiate, so as to lay a firm foundation for completing the reform tasks set at the 2013 session.

At present, there form and development in our country is under-going profound changes. As uncertain and unstable external factors increase, our reform and development are faced with new circumstances and issues. In this context, we must maintain strategic resolve, focus on solving problems, guide reform in the light of circumstances, make coordinated plans, implement targeted policies, and adopt effective and powerful measures to forestall and resolve major problems, so as to ensure that reform can better serve the overall development of our economy and society.

(from the speech at the eighth meeting of the Central Commission for Further Reform, May 29, 2019)

V

Further reform in all respects is an important manifestation of our Party’s commitment to its original aspiration and founding mission. The deeper the reform, the more resolute we should be in shouldering responsibilities, taking actions, making rapid and steady progress, and forging ahead with courage. We must never pause or slacken our efforts. Through our Aspiration and Mission education campaign,we need to take a more proactive approach to reform in thinking, action, and political principles. We must brave problems and difficulties, concentrate on addressing inadequacies, shore up points of weakness, stimulate vitality, and ensure implementation. We must have the determination to break impediments of vested interests and remove all institutional barriers to development.
