In-depth study and implementation of a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on comprehensively deepening reform.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese Modernization, adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, puts forward the guiding ideology of further comprehensively deepening reform, among which "a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on comprehensively deepening reform" is the most important content. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has personally led, deployed and promoted the all-round deepening reform, scientifically summed up historical experience, profoundly grasped the law of reform, creatively put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new theories by using Marxist standpoints and methods, and clearly answered major questions such as why and how to comprehensively deepen reform in the new era, which constitutes the most abundant, vivid and creative component of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era. Studying and implementing these new ideas, viewpoints and theories thoroughly is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for unifying the thoughts and actions of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country and promoting further comprehensive and deepening reforms with a more energetic spirit.

First, adhering to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee is the fundamental guarantee for comprehensively deepening reform.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that "to comprehensively deepen reform, we must strengthen and improve the party’s leadership, give full play to the party’s leading core role of taking the overall situation into account and coordinating all parties", and "resolutely safeguard the central authority, ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees, and unswervingly realize the central reform decision-making and deployment". The great practice of reform and opening up for more than 40 years has profoundly revealed that it is precisely because we always uphold the leadership of the Party that we can achieve a great historical turning point, start a new period of reform and opening up and a new journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, successfully cope with a series of major risks and challenges, overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles, and ensure that the whole party and the whole country can unify their thinking, will and actions on the issue of reform and opening up. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has set up a leading body for comprehensively deepening reform, formed a working system and mechanism for party leadership reform from top to bottom, and made a series of major strategic arrangements for comprehensively deepening reform. With extraordinary political boldness and strong historical responsibility, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally planned and guided the overall design, overall coordination and overall promotion of the reform, which provided the strongest leadership guarantee for the reform. Historical, revolutionary and groundbreaking achievements have been made in comprehensively deepening reform in the new era, which fully proves the extreme importance of "two establishment" and "two maintenance" and fully demonstrates the leading core role of the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core in guiding the direction, seeking the overall situation, formulating policies and promoting reform.

Second, unswervingly follow the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and ensure that reform and opening up move in the right direction.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that "our reform and opening-up has a direction, a position and principles" and that "our reform is a reform that keeps moving forward on the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, neither taking the old road of being closed and rigid, nor taking the evil road of changing the flag". The direction determines the future, and the road determines the fate. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that China is a big country and must not make subversive mistakes on fundamental issues. The overall goal of comprehensively deepening the reform is to improve and develop the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Our direction is to constantly promote the self-improvement and development of the socialist system, rather than changing its course. Upholding integrity and innovation is the essential requirement of reform. We must have a strong determination to keep the road unchanged and the will unchanged, and always adhere to the correct political direction. These important expositions have effectively answered fundamental questions such as what flag to raise, what road to take and what goal to move forward. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has always been guided by the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform, courageously persevering and firmly grasping the direction of reform and opening up, resolutely changing what should be changed, what should not be changed and what cannot be changed, unswervingly, without deviation, tossing and stopping, and ensuring that the cause of reform and opening up is stable and far-reaching.

Third, be brave in pioneering and innovating to provide inexhaustible motive force for Chinese modernization.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Reform and opening up is a key measure to determine the fate of contemporary China, and it is also a key measure to achieve the goal of’ two hundred years’ and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Without reform and opening up, there would be no China today, and there would be no China tomorrow. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that innovation is an inexhaustible motive force for the development and progress of a country and a nation. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was epoch-making, which opened a new historical period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee was also epoch-making, which opened a new journey of comprehensively deepening reform, systematically designing and promoting reform, and created a new situation of China’s reform and opening up. Chinese-style modernization is constantly advancing in the reform and opening up, and it will certainly open up broad prospects in the reform and opening up. These important expositions have profoundly clarified the historical position and important role of comprehensively deepening reform. On the new journey, we must bear in mind the valuable historical experience of "persisting in pioneering and innovating", closely focus on the goal and task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, deepen reform and innovation, unswervingly expand opening up, and provide a better institutional guarantee, stronger capacity support and stronger power source for Chinese modernization.

Four, firmly establish the people-centered value orientation, respect the people’s dominant position and initiative.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Reform for the people is meaningful; Only by relying on the people to reform can reform be motivated. " The people are the creators of history and the main force to promote reform and opening up. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that comprehensively deepening the reform must take promoting social fairness and justice and enhancing people’s well-being as the starting point and the end result, plan and promote the reform from the overall interests, fundamental interests and long-term interests of the people, launch more reform measures that are urgent and popular, and do more practical things that benefit the people’s livelihood, warm the people’s hearts and conform to the people’s wishes, so as to ensure that what the people care about and expect, and what the reform must grasp and promote. These important expositions reflect the fundamental purpose of our party to serve the people wholeheartedly and highlight the value orientation of comprehensively deepening reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, comprehensively deepening the reform has started from solving the most direct and realistic interests that the masses are most concerned about, and further promoted the reforms in the fields of people’s livelihood such as income distribution, employment, education, social security, medicine and health care, old-age care, and grass-roots governance, giving play to the initiative of the masses, and focusing on summarizing and popularizing the comprehensive rural reform, river system, forest system, "Sanming medical reform", "running at most once" and "Fengqiao experience" in the new era.We will always ensure that reform is for the people, that reform depends on the people, and that the fruits of reform are shared by the people, and constantly meet the people’s new expectations for a better life.

Fifth, highlight the problem orientation and strive to break down the deep-seated institutional and institutional obstacles.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly stated: "Reform is caused by problems and deepened by constantly solving problems." The great changes in the world today have accelerated the evolution, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the deeper the reform and opening-up, the more intertwined and complicated the problems in development and the problems after development, the general contradictions and deep-seated contradictions, the tasks to be completed and the newly proposed tasks, and the contradictions in reform and opening-up can only be solved by reform and opening-up. We should dare to gnaw at hard bones, dare to venture into dangerous beaches, dare to open the knife to stubborn diseases accumulated for many years, and strive to solve major institutional and institutional problems that need to be solved to promote Chinese modernization. These important expositions reflect the clear orientation of comprehensively deepening reform, focusing on practical problems and focusing on outstanding problems. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, comprehensively deepening reform has been in line with the development and changes at home and abroad, focusing on the outstanding contradictions and problems that restrict high-quality development, insisting on solving major institutional and institutional problems in a prominent position, tackling difficulties and breaking through obstacles, basically establishing the basic institutional framework in various fields, making unprecedented efforts in two rounds of reform of party and state institutions, achieving historic changes, systematic reshaping and overall reconstruction in many fields, and constantly marching into breadth and depth of reform.

Six, further emancipate the mind, and constantly promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, system innovation.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Without emancipating the mind, it is impossible for our party to continuously promote theoretical innovation and practical innovation in practice, effectively resolve various risk challenges on the road ahead, continuously push forward reform and opening up, and always stay at the forefront of the times." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the most fundamental and urgent task to realize socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is to further liberate and develop social productive forces. Emancipating the mind is the premise and the main switch to liberate and develop social productive forces and to liberate and enhance social vitality. These important expositions are a profound summary of our Party’s historical experience of reform and opening up, which is guided by thought, promoted by reform, and stimulated by innovation. They are the China-era application of the basic principles of Marxism on the adaptation of production relations to the development of productive forces and the adaptation of superstructure to the changes of economic base. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, guided by the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, our party has persisted in taking economic construction as the center, grasped the "bull’s nose" of deepening economic system reform, and regarded high-quality development as the last word in the new era. Adhere to the direction of socialist market economy reform, give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, better play the role of the government, and handle the relationship between the government and the market; Adhere to the "Two Unswervings", consolidate and improve the basic socialist economic system, and give consideration to efficiency, fairness, vitality and order.Adapting to the changes of major social contradictions, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in China, we have creatively put forward a series of important conclusions such as new development stage, new development concept, new development pattern and new quality productivity, promoted theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation and other innovations at a new starting point, and constantly opened up new prospects for the development of various undertakings.

Seven, along the track of the rule of law to promote reform, the institutional advantages into governance efficiency.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "reform and the rule of law are like two wings of a bird and two wheels of a car", we must persist in promoting reform under the rule of law and improve the rule of law in the course of reform "and" all major reforms must be based on the law ". The reform and opening up in the new era has many new connotations and characteristics, one of which is that the system construction is more important. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that in the whole reform process, we should attach great importance to the use of the rule of law thinking and the rule of law, and the reform results that have been proved to be effective in practice should be promoted to the legal system in time; If the practical conditions are not mature and need to be tried first, authorization shall be made in accordance with legal procedures; Laws and regulations that do not meet the requirements of reform shall be revised or abolished in time. These important expositions have profoundly clarified that comprehensively deepening reform and comprehensively governing the country according to law complement each other, and the connection between reform decision-making and legislative decision-making is an effective path for the smooth progress of reform and the timely consolidation of reform results. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has highlighted the main line of system construction. Through the mutual promotion of reform and the rule of law, it has continuously improved various systems and regulations, promoted the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system to be more mature and stereotyped, and significantly improved the modernization level of the national governance system and governance capacity.

Eight, consciously use scientific methodology, strengthen the system, integrity and synergy of reform.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Reform and opening up is a systematic project, and we must adhere to comprehensive reform and promote it in coordination with various reforms." Deepening reform in an all-round way involves all fields of economic and social development, and the task is comprehensive, the content is profound and the influence is extensive as never before. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader particularly emphasized that paying attention to systematicness, integrity and coordination is the inherent requirement of comprehensively deepening reform and an important method to promote reform. In promoting reform, we should emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, be realistic and pragmatic, and handle the relationship between overall promotion and key breakthroughs, overall and local, top-level design and grassroots exploration, courage and steady steps, and reform, development and stability. Handle the major relations between economy and society, government and market, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, development and security. These important expositions have become an important methodology to guide the reform practice. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has adhered to the overall concept and systematic thinking, persisted in striving for progress while maintaining stability, scientifically planned the strategic focus, priority order, main attack direction, working mechanism and promotion mode of the reform, and comprehensively deepened the reform from ramming the foundation platform and erecting columns to comprehensively advancing and accumulating momentum, to system integration, coordination and high efficiency, and promoted the reform to make full efforts, make multiple breakthroughs, and act quickly and steadily.

Nine, promote reform and development through opening up, and promote deep-level reform and high-level opening up as a whole.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Promoting reform and development through opening up is a successful practice of China’s reform and development." In the face of complicated international and domestic situations, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to persist in promoting deepening reform through opening up and deepening reform to promote opening up. Unswervingly implement the basic national policy of opening to the outside world, implement a more proactive opening strategy, unswervingly improve the level of open economy, and build a new system of open economy with a higher level. These important expositions profoundly reveal the internal unity of reform and opening up. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has coordinated the two major domestic and international situations, coordinated development and security, adhered to the path of peaceful development, constantly improved the system and mechanism of opening up to the outside world, promoted the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road", promoted the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, laid out the construction of a free trade pilot zone and a Hainan free trade port, and promoted inland opening and border opening at a high level. Create a market-oriented, rule-based and international first-class business environment, pay more attention to institutional openness such as rules, regulations, management and standards, promote the formation of a wider, broader and deeper opening-up pattern, and continuously expand new space for economic development.

Ten, lead the great social revolution with the party’s self-revolution, and do a good job in the implementation of reform with the spirit of nailing.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "We should plan the Party’s self-revolution according to the new requirements of the practice of the great social revolution, test the actual effect of the Party’s self-revolution with the new achievements of the development of the great social revolution, and strive to lead the Party’s self-revolution and promote the Party’s self-revolution with the great social revolution." The more we deepen the reform in an all-round way, the more we must stabilize the direction, highlight the actual results, and make every effort to attack. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that the key to the success of reform and opening up is to adhere to the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party and constantly improve its leadership level. Looking around the world, no country or political party can have such political boldness and historical responsibility, dare to make drastic, inward-looking and self-revolution, and no country or political party can promote such a large-scale, large-scale and large-scale reform in such a short time. This is the distinctive feature and obvious advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. These important expositions profoundly explain that it has become our party’s historical consciousness to govern the party with the spirit of reform and lead the great social revolution with the party’s self-revolution. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has put the requirement of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way through the comprehensive deepening of reform work, educated and guided the party member and cadres to strengthen their responsibility for reform, maintained the spirit of reform, strengthened their reform toughness, improved their reform skills, persisted in seeking truth from facts, opposed formalism and bureaucracy, and acted as promoters and doers, constantly enhancing the creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Party, and pushed forward the reform.

General Secretary Supreme Leader’s series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions on comprehensively deepening reform are a scientific summary of the valuable experience of comprehensively deepening reform since the reform and opening up, especially in the new era. They are the latest achievements in comprehensively deepening reform theory innovation and practice innovation in the new era, and will surely become a powerful ideological weapon to guide further comprehensively deepening reform in the new journey. We should thoroughly study and implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on comprehensively deepening reform, adhere to and make good use of the positions, viewpoints and methods that run through it, go all out to implement the spirit of the plenary session, and turn the strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee on further comprehensively deepening reform into a powerful driving force for promoting Chinese modernization.
