Reform and opening up is an important magic weapon for the cause of the party and the people to catch up with the times in great strides. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was epoch-making, which opened a new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee is also epoch-making, which has opened a new journey of comprehensively deepening reform, systematically designing and promoting reform in the new era, and created a new situation of China’s 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 United and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, with great political courage and wisdom, pushed forward the comprehensive deepening reform, realized the transformation of the reform from partial exploration and breaking through the ice to systematic integration and comprehensive deepening, completed the reform tasks set by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in general, provided a strong institutional guarantee for building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the party’s first century-long struggle goal, and pushed China onto a new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way. Practice has fully proved that in the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, China has made great strides to catch up with the times, relying on reform and opening up. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state, which also depend on reform and opening up. In the new era and journey, to create a new situation of Chinese modernization, we still have to rely on reform and opening up.
Planning and deploying reforms around the party’s central task is a successful experience of the party’s leadership in reform and opening up. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established the central task of the Party in the new era and new journey, and made strategic arrangements for promoting Chinese modernization. Promoting Chinese-style modernization is a brand-new undertaking, and all kinds of contradictions and risk challenges will inevitably be encountered on the way forward. Facing the complicated international and domestic situation, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the new expectations of the people, we must continue to push forward the reform. This is an inevitable requirement to uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, implement the new development concept, better adapt to the changes of major contradictions in our society, adhere to the people-centered principle, and make the achievements of modernization more fair and benefit all the people. It is also an inevitable requirement to meet major risk challenges and promote the stability and far-reaching cause of the party and the state. It is an inevitable requirement to promote the building of a community of human destiny and win the strategic initiative in the accelerated evolution of a hundred years of change. It is also an inevitable requirement to further promote the new great project of party building in the new era and build a more powerful Marxist political party. The whole party must consciously put reform in a more prominent position and work hard and bravely to achieve the party’s central task in the new era and new journey.
The "Decision" adopted at this plenary session scientifically planned the overall plan for further and comprehensively deepening reform around Chinese modernization, defined the guiding ideology, general objectives and major principles for further and comprehensively deepening reform, and focused on deploying major reform measures in the next five years. The overall goal of further deepening the reform in an all-round way is to continue to improve and develop the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. On the new journey, we will fully implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, thoroughly study and implement a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new theories of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on comprehensively deepening reform, sum up and apply the valuable experience of comprehensively deepening reform since the reform and opening up, especially in the new era, adhere to the overall leadership of the party, adhere to the people-centered, adhere to integrity and innovation, adhere to system construction as the main line, adhere to the comprehensive rule of law, and adhere to the system concept. We will certainly achieve the goal of 2035, build a high-level socialist market economic system in an all-round way, improve Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system, basically modernize the national governance system and governance capacity, and basically realize socialist modernization, thus laying a solid foundation for building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way by the middle of this century.
The leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for further deepening reform and promoting Chinese modernization. We must maintain a high degree of consciousness of leading the social revolution with the Party’s self-revolution, persist in governing the Party with the spirit of reform and strict standards, and ensure that the Party will always be the strong leadership core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause. We must uphold the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee to further comprehensively deepen reform, do a good job in the implementation of reform with the spirit of nailing nails, and turn the strategic deployment of further comprehensively deepening reform into a powerful force for promoting Chinese modernization.
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. Let’s unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishment", strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve the "two maintenance", hold high the banner of reform and opening up, make concerted efforts and forge ahead, and build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way.
