It is clearly stated that in order to comprehensively deepen reform, it is necessary to strengthen and improve the party's leadership
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "to comprehensively deepen reform, we must strengthen and improve the party's leadership, and give full play to the party's core role of leadership in controlling the overall situation and coordinating all parties." "Adhering to the party's overall leadership is our greatest institutional advantage and the fundamental guarantee for the successful practice and great achievements of reform and opening up. To strengthen and improve the party's leadership, it is necessary to firmly safeguard the authority of the party Central Committee and its centralized and unified leadership, make the party's leadership permeate the entire process of reform in all aspects, and ensure that reform always advances in the correct political direction. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the party's leadership system that oversees the overall situation and coordinates all parties, and improves the implementation mechanism of the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, so as to ensure the core role of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core of leadership in setting the direction, seeking the overall situation, setting policies, and promoting reform.
It is clearly stated that comprehensively deepening reform is the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "reform and opening up is a key move to determine the fate of contemporary China, and it is also a key move to determine the success or failure of Chinese-style modernization." "To comprehensively deepen reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, we must deeply understand the historical position of comprehensively deepening reform and the great significance of promoting Chinese-style modernization, be good at using reform methods to solve major problems in the process of promoting Chinese-style modernization, and take further deepening reform as an important starting point for stabilizing the overall situation, responding to emergencies and opening up a new situation.
It is clearly proposed to promote reform with the people at the center
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "reform is meaningful only when it is for the sake of the people; Only by relying on the people for reform can reform be motivated. "The people are the creators of history and the main force in promoting reform and opening up. To adhere to the people-centered reform is to respect the people's dominant position and initiative, the people have a voice, the reform has a response, be good at pooling the wisdom of the people, unite the people's hearts, so that the results of reform can benefit all the people more and more fairly, so that the people's sense of gain, happiness and security will continue to increase, and steadily move towards the goal of common prosperity.
It is clearly stated that to comprehensively deepen reform, we must adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the purpose of promoting reform is to continuously promote the self-improvement and development of the socialist system on the mainland and give socialism new vitality." "Reform and opening up is a great cause without precedent, integrity can not lose direction, do not make subversive mistakes, innovation can grasp the times, lead the times. No matter how reform is carried out, we must never waver in upholding the party's overall leadership, upholding Marxism, adhering to the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, upholding the people's democratic dictatorship, and other fundamental things. Reform must not only have the vigor of daring to innovate and tackle tough problems, but also have the strong determination to remain unchanged and not change.
It is clearly stated that the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform is to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform is a whole composed of two sentences, "the former sentence stipulates the fundamental direction...... The latter sentence stipulates a clear direction for improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics under the guidance of the fundamental direction. Only when you say both sentences is complete. If you only talk about the second sentence and don't talk about the first sentence, it is incomplete and incomplete. "To further deepen reform in an all-round way, what to change and how to change must be based on whether it meets the overall goal as the fundamental yardstick, resolutely change what should be changed and can be changed, and resolutely not change what should not be changed and cannot be changed.
It is clearly proposed that to comprehensively deepen reform, we should go to the problem and focus on the problem
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "to further deepen reform in an all-round way, we must anchor the overall goal of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, closely follow the promotion of Chinese-style modernization, adhere to the combination of goal-oriented and problem-oriented, go to the problem, focus on the problem, and resolutely eliminate the ideological concepts and institutional mechanisms that hinder the promotion of Chinese-style modernization." Problems are the voice of the times, and reform is born out of problems and deepened through continuous problem solving. The deeper the reform develops, the more deep-seated problems and contradictions will become, and we can only solve them by means of reform.
It is clearly proposed that comprehensively deepening reform should hold the "bull's nose" of deepening the reform of the economic system
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "in the comprehensive deepening of reform, we must adhere to the reform of the economic system as the main axis, and strive to make new breakthroughs in the reform of important areas and key links, so as to lead and drive reforms in other fields, so that all aspects of reform can be coordinated and form a joint force, rather than acting separately and scattering." "Giving full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources mainly involves the reform of the economic system, but it will inevitably affect all fields. It is necessary to make the structural reform of all aspects move forward in the direction of building a high-level socialist market economic system, and at the same time, at the same time, make all relevant links in all aspects better adapt themselves to the new requirements put forward by the development of the socialist market economy.
He clearly pointed out that without emancipating the mind, it is impossible to continuously push forward reform and opening up
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Without emancipating the mind, it is impossible for our party to continuously promote theoretical and practical innovation in practice, effectively resolve various risks and challenges on the way forward, continuously push forward reform and opening up, and always walk in the forefront of the times." "On the issue of further deepening reform in an all-round way, it is the most important thing to break through the barriers of ideology and concepts, break through the barriers of solidified interests, and emancipate the mind. If we do not emancipate our minds, it will be difficult to see clearly the crux of the solidification of interests, it will be difficult to find the focal point for breakthroughs, and it will be difficult to come up with effective reform measures.
It is clearly proposed to promote in-depth reform and high-level opening-up in a coordinated manner
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "promoting reform and development through opening up is a successful practice of the mainland's reform and development." "Opening up is also reform, and we must combine reform with opening up. In order to win advantages, gain the initiative, and win the future in the development of the mainland, it is necessary to conform to economic globalization, rely on the advantages of the mainland's super-large-scale market, and implement a more proactive strategy of opening up. Improving the high-level opening-up system and mechanism is a strategic measure for us to take the initiative to promote reform and development through opening-up.
It is clearly proposed to promote reform with a rule of law mindset and a rule of law approach
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "throughout the reform process, we must attach great importance to the use of rule of law thinking and rule of law methods, give play to the leading and promoting role of the rule of law, strengthen the coordination of relevant legislative work, and ensure that the reform is advanced on the track of the rule of law." "Reform and the rule of law go hand in hand. The realization of the rule of law is inseparable from the promotion of reform, and the deepening of reform inevitably requires the guarantee of the rule of law. In the process of reform, the results of reform that have been proven effective in practice will be upgraded to the legal system in a timely manner; Where the practical conditions are not yet ripe and it is necessary to try first, authorization is to be made in accordance with legal procedures; Laws and regulations that do not meet the requirements of reform are to be revised or repealed in a timely manner, and we will always comprehensively deepen reform and advance Chinese-style modernization on the track of rule of law.
It is clearly stated that reform must build consensus
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "building consensus is to form a joint force to promote reform and opening up." The hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves. Without a broad consensus, it will be difficult for the reform to proceed smoothly, and it will be difficult to achieve comprehensive success if it is promoted. "People's hearts are the biggest politics, and consensus is the driving force for progress. To build consensus, we must adhere to the people-centered value orientation, firmly establish a concept of political achievements for the benefit of the people, and "want to be together, stand together, and work together" with all the people. Everyone's business is done by everyone, and everyone's business is discussed and done. We should put the improvement of people's quality of life in a more prominent position, improve the system of guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood, and constantly realize the people's yearning for a better life.
It is clearly proposed to lead the great social revolution with the party's self-revolution
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to "lead the great social revolution with the great self-revolution and promote the great self-revolution with the great social revolution". Reform and opening up is a great social revolution, and it is necessary to plan the party's self-revolution in response to the new requirements of the practice of the great social revolution, lead the great social revolution with the party's self-revolution, and give full play to the role of the party's self-revolution in the political, ideological, organizational and goal-oriented role of the social revolution. At the same time, the new achievements of the development of the great social revolution should be used to test the actual results of the party's self-revolution.
It is clearly stated that it is necessary to adhere to correct ideological methods in promoting reform
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "reform and opening up is a brand-new undertaking without precedent, and we must adhere to the correct methodology and advance it in continuous practice and exploration." "Reform and opening up is a profound social change, and it is also a complex system engineering, and we must adhere to the scientific method. Looking at the world, there are many examples of some countries falling into civil war, turmoil, and national division due to improper methods on the issue of reform and opening up. A very important reason for the success of China's reform and opening up is that it has accurately grasped the internal laws of reform and opening up. Both positive and negative experiences show that reform and opening up does not necessarily bring success; To succeed in reform and opening up, we must adhere to scientific methods. We have adhered to the combination of strengthening the party's leadership and respecting the people's initiative, combining "crossing the river by feeling the stones" with top-level design, unifying problem-oriented and goal-oriented, promoting pilot projects first and comprehensively advancing, and correctly handling the relationship between reform, development and stability, and so on, forming the richest, most comprehensive and most systematic reform methodology since the reform and opening up.
