Song Xiaowu, chairman of the Academic Committee of the China Society for Economic Reform, pointed out that building a high-level socialist market economic system is the core content of Chinese-style modernization.

Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and former deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, pointed out that the "Decision" proposes to implement a system of providing basic public services through household registration in the place of permanent residence, which will play an important role in releasing the potential of domestic demand, narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas, and promoting the equalization of basic public services.
Cao Yuanzheng, chairman of Bank of China International Research Co., Ltd., said that the "Decision" proposes that a high-level socialist market economy system is an important guarantee for Chinese-style modernization, and the market is highly concerned about it. At the same time, focusing on the solution of urban and rural problems, the "Decision" proposes to promote the equal exchange and two-way flow of urban and rural elements, and promote the integration of urban and rural areas and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas by deepening the reform of the land system.

Zhang Yuyan, a member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, proposed that the "Decision" once again emphasizes adhering to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, promoting reform and development through opening up, and proposes to optimize the layout of regional opening up. At the same time, it is clear that the overall promotion of major landmark projects and "small but beautiful" livelihood projects will become a major task of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, pointed out that in the new context of the global economy, it is necessary to improve the macroeconomic governance system.

Zhao Jinping, former director of the Foreign Economic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, pointed out that against the backdrop of major changes in the international environment, the plenary session insisted on deepening reform and opening up, and especially proposed to unilaterally open up the least developed countries.
