Striving towards building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way and achieving the second centenary goal, the party and the country have ushered in another historic moment--

On the afternoon of July 18, 2024, amid waves of applause, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China formally adopted the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reforms and Promoting Chinese-Style Modernization."

Standing at the historical juncture of carrying forward the past and opening up the future, another important landmark meeting was successfully held. The clarion call for further comprehensively deepening reforms in the new era and new journey resounded across the land of China.

The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core unites and leads the entire Party, the entire army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to move forward unswervingly and bravely, further comprehensively deepen reforms to open up broad prospects for Chinese-style modernization, and continuously push forward the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.

Raise the banner of reform to answer the issues of the times-focus on solving institutional and mechanism issues that affect Chinese-style modernization, make good use of the important magic weapon of reform and opening up, and carry out reform to the end

At the end of April 2024, a piece of heavy news spread across the country through the airwaves of Xinhua Agency--

"The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 30 and decided to convene the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in July this year to focus on further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting Chinese-style modernization."

"One of the most important meetings on China's political agenda""Since the reform and opening up, all previous Third Plenary Sessions have focused on reform issues and made plans and arrangements for China's development in the next five to ten years, so it is particularly exciting"... At home and abroad Attention has been turned to another Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China-the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee.

The Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee has a heavy weight in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was epoch-making and opened a new era of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping, with great historical initiative, great political courage, and strong responsibility, has personally planned, personally deployed, and personally promoted comprehensive deepening of reforms, and has led the entire Party, the entire army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country With unprecedented efforts to open up a new world for career development, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

Looking around the world, no country or political party can have such political spirit and historical responsibility, dare to be bold, inward, and self-revolution. No country or political party can promote such a large-scale and large-scale reform in such a short period of time, and no country or political party can achieve such historic changes, systematic reshaping, and overall reconstruction in the reform process.

Looking back at the successful practice and great achievements of comprehensively deepening reforms since the new era, we deeply realize that the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee was also epoch-making, embarking on a new journey of comprehensively deepening reforms in the new era and promoting reforms through overall system design. Create a new situation in my country's reform and opening up.

Time is a loyal witness, and the people are great writers.

In the golden autumn of 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared to the world in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China--

"From now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to comprehensively build a modern and powerful socialist country, achieve the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization."

The magnificent voyage of rejuvenation marks another brand new coordinate of struggle.

"On the new journey, what should we use to further gather our minds and gather powerful forces to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation? The answer is to rely on Chinese-style modernization." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the way forward with the profound insight, keen judgment, and theoretical creativity of a Marxist politician, thinker, and strategist.

The current and future period is a critical period for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. The situation and environment we are facing is unprecedentedly complex, and the tasks of reform and development we shoulder are unprecedentedly arduous. Questions about China, the world, the people, and the times pose more difficult questions for us.

At the critical moment of carrying forward the past and opening up the future, how to unite and lead the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people to face difficulties and continue to struggle, cultivate new opportunities in crises, and open up new situations in changes?

The people look forward to the choices of the Chinese Communists, and the times focus on the answers of the Chinese Communists.

After the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping conducted in-depth thinking on what topics to study, what decisions to make, what measures to take, and what signals to release at the Third Plenary Session.

"In the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, my country 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, the cause of the party and the country has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes, relying on reform and opening up."

"In the new era and new journey, to create a new situation in Chinese-style modernization, we still rely on reform and opening up."

Climbing to the horizon and clearing the clouds to see the sun, General Secretary Xi Jinping's judgment is clear and firm.

In the logic of historical progress, progress is the right path in the world, and only in the trend of development of the times can development reach a higher level--

To unite people's hearts, gather strength, and realize the party's central task in the new era and new journey, there is an urgent need to further comprehensively deepen reforms;

To improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, there is an urgent need to further comprehensively deepen reforms;

To promote high-quality development and better adapt to changes in the principal contradictions in our society, there is an urgent need to further comprehensively deepen reforms;

To cope with major risks and challenges and promote the steady and long-term development of the cause of the party and the country, there is an urgent need to further comprehensively deepen reforms...

In November 2023, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held meetings and made a major decision of great significance and far-reaching impact. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China focused on further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting China-style modernization issues and making decisions.

At the same time, a document drafting group for the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, and General Secretary Xi Jinping personally served as the leader of the document drafting group.

Why was the theme of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China determined to further comprehensively deepen reforms and promote Chinese-style modernization?

General Secretary Xi Jinping clarified the gist in one sentence: "It is to send a strong signal to the domestic and international countries that we will unswervingly hold high the banner of reform and opening up."

By opening up a long lens of history and standing on the overall development of the cause of the party and the country, we can better understand the profound meaning of this theme.

To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must further comprehensively deepen reforms--

Chinese-style modernization is an unprecedented and pioneering undertaking. It is unprecedented in difficulty and complexity. On the way forward, we will inevitably encounter various uncertain and unpredictable risks and challenges. At present, the world's century-old changes are accelerating, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change. Opportunities and risks and challenges coexist in my country's development strategy. The problem of unbalanced and inadequate development is still prominent, and many deep-seated contradictions cannot be avoided or avoided. To solve and respond to these contradictions and problems, we must rely on further comprehensively deepening reforms.

To further comprehensively deepen reforms, we must focus on Chinese-style modernization--

Planning and deploying reforms around the party's central tasks is a successful experience of reform and opening up under the party's leadership. Comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization is the central task of the Party in the new era and new journey. Further comprehensive deepening of reforms must be planned and carried out closely around promoting Chinese-style modernization to ensure clear and targeted goals.

Further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization are closely linked and internally unified.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made strategic arrangements for promoting Chinese-style modernization. To implement these strategic deployments and turn the blueprint for Chinese-style modernization into reality, the fundamental thing is to further comprehensively deepen reforms, continuously improve various systems and mechanisms, remove various obstacles, and continuously stimulate vitality and add impetus to Chinese-style modernization."

The topic is determined and the outline is completed, and we will take advantage of the situation to advance.

During inspections and surveys, discussions and exchanges, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly clarified major theoretical and practical issues such as the significance, guiding principles, goals and tasks, major measures, and scientific paths of further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting Chinese-style modernization. Provide strong guidance for the drafting of plenary documents.

General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that the plenary session must grasp the major institutional and mechanism issues, deep-seated contradictions and problems that need to be resolved to promote Chinese-style modernization, conduct in-depth research, deepen understanding, identify the crux, and scientifically plan the strategic priorities, priorities, and main directions of reform., working mechanism, and promotion methods, on this basis, form an overall plan for further comprehensively deepening reform.

"We must comply with the new trends in the development of the times, the new requirements for practice and development, and the new expectations of the people, and with the strong determination to reform to the end, we must not detour or evade, be serious and dare to encounter tough things, and resolutely eliminate all institutional obstacles and constraints that hinder the smooth advancement of Chinese-style modernization. Institutional obstacles and constraints, and strive to form a vivid situation of precise, coordinated, sustained, and solid advancement of Chinese-style modernization."

The banner of reform is held high, and the tide of the times is unstoppable.

Gather wisdom and public opinion to build confidence and consensus-the drafting of documents has always been carried out under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and promote democracy and brainstorm throughout the entire process.

December 8, 2023, Zhongnanhai, Beijing. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the first plenary meeting of the Document Drafting Group for the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.

"The Party Central Committee has entrusted everyone with the important task of drafting the documents of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It is its full trust in everyone and its honor and responsibility." Faced with more than 70 comrades in the document drafting group present, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward a request: "I hope that everyone will work together and work solidly in the spirit of loyalty to the party to complete the task of drafting plenary documents assigned by the Party Central Committee."

For more than 200 days and nights since then, the drafting of documents was intensive, and we went all out to produce a reform document that could gather the majestic strength of the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the new era and new journey.

Further comprehensive deepening of reforms is based on the major achievements made in comprehensively deepening reforms over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, especially in the new era. At the beginning of the document drafting work, everyone was thinking deeply: What are the main problems facing each field? What institutional and mechanism problems, deep-seated contradictions and problems need to be solved to promote Chinese-style modernization?

"When the Party Central Committee makes major decisions and arrangements, it must extensively promote democracy and pool the wisdom of the whole party and the country. This is also a successful experience in our drafting of important party documents." General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized: "We must carry forward democracy and brainstorm throughout the entire process of document drafting."

At the end of November 2023, the Party Central Committee issued a notice to solicit opinions within a certain range within the party on the topics of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. At the same time, opinions and suggestions from some non-party people were solicited through certain methods.

Soon, with research and thinking on the party's situation, national conditions and world conditions, and gathering wisdom from all aspects, 111 opinions and suggestions were gathered from all directions.

Research comes first, and your intention comes first.

To further comprehensively deepen reforms, we must, on the basis of in-depth investigation and research, find out the background, identify the right problems, and achieve targeted efforts and accurate solutions.

The fertile fields are flat, and the clear water surrounds the fields. On March 19, 2024, during the spring plowing preparation season, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the 10,000-acre grain production comprehensive demonstration area in Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan Province, carefully inspected the agricultural situation, and cordially communicated with large grain growers, agricultural technicians, etc.

Spring plowing, summer weeding, autumn harvest, and winter storage, General Secretary Xi Jinping paid attention to the "Chinese rice bowl" during many local inspections, standing on the vast land and thinking about the issues of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers, enriching farmers and rural reform.

Sink down, dig in, and find answers in the great practice of reform and opening up-General Secretary Xi Jinping practices it and takes the lead in setting an example.

Along the direction of the General Secretary's guidance, the document drafting team continued to deeply study and understand Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on comprehensively deepening reforms, and studied and considered how to implement the General Secretary's thoughts, the Party Central Committee's intentions, and the requirements of the new era through further comprehensive deepening of reforms.

At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the arrangements of the Party Central Committee, the document drafting team conscientiously carried out investigation and research, further thought in depth, digested and absorbed during the investigation, gathered wisdom from all aspects, and formed a more concentrated focus of reform.

In December 2023, a meeting on the research and deployment of key topics of the plenary session was held, and 55 relevant central departments and units were arranged to conduct surveys on 38 key topics. Since then, 78 research reports were formed; at the same time, 16 research groups were formed and went to provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and relevant central departments and units conducted research.

Starting from late December 2023, we will visit the venue to listen to the opinions of relevant leading comrades of the party and the state and the main leading comrades at the provincial and ministerial levels on the topics of the plenary session. We will conduct individual interviews one-on-one, and form a one-person interview record.

General Secretary Xi Jinping reviewed the opinions of leading comrades of the party and the state and the interview reports of the main responsible comrades at the provincial and ministerial levels one by one, and also annotated important opinions and suggestions.

Direct research, entrusting departments and institutions to conduct research, conducting special argumentation, and listening to expert opinions... It is during this kind of research process that answers are constantly obtained to major reform propositions.

In which direction to further comprehensively deepen reforms is a fundamental issue.

In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping firmly said: "We must persist in upholding integrity and innovation. No matter how reforms are reformed, fundamental things such as adhering to the party's overall leadership, adhering to Marxism, adhering to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and adhering to the people's democratic dictatorship must never be shaken. At the same time, we must dare to innovate, change what should be changed and what can be changed, and change it in place. Once we see it, we must unswervingly grasp it."

In the mind of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the plenary session decided that "it should be a document that can play an overall and leading role in further comprehensively deepening reforms. It must focus more on key points and focus on major strategic reform measures related to Chinese-style modernization."

"Don't write general reform measures, don't write development measures, and don't write reform measures that have been deployed by the central government and are being implemented. We strive to make the draft decision more comprehensive and have a stronger flavor of reform."

From General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches, relevant important documents, feedback and suggestions from various regions, departments and units, special research reports, interview materials, research reports and other materials, we systematically sort out important reform measures in relevant fields and summarize them to form a reform measure ledger and list to provide a solid theoretical and practical basis for the drafting of the decision draft.

Pick gold in sand and choose the most important ones. After repeated comparisons, selection, research and demonstration, while emphasizing strategic and forward-looking nature, we also pay attention to the pertinence and operability of reform measures, and make them the most needed for the development of the party and the country's undertakings, the most expected by the people, and the most important for promoting economic and social development. Major reform measures with the most urgent and realistic conditions are included in the document.

In accordance with General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on doing a good job in research and demonstration of important reform measures, 53 departments and units were entrusted to organize demonstrations on 21 reform measures, and they were screened and selected based on the results of the demonstration--

For reform measures with a high degree of consensus, relevant departments and units will resolutely include them if they agree;

For reform measures with high consensus but need further improvement in specific expressions, we will carefully study and absorb them based on relevant opinions and suggestions, and revise and improve the expressions.

On May 7, 2024, the decision was issued to solicit opinions from all parties.

"The symposium today is held to hear everyone's opinions and suggestions in person." On May 20, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium for non-party personages to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the leaders of the central committees of democratic parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and representatives of non-party personages.

At the meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping carefully took notes and interrupted from time to time to communicate in depth with everyone. At the end of the meeting, the General Secretary exhorted: "After today's symposium, everyone can continue to think and study in depth, gather situations worthy of attention in various fields and opinions and suggestions that are more concentrated in various aspects, and report them to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in a timely manner. Make positive contributions to the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."

A few days later, General Secretary Xi Jinping hosted a symposium of enterprises and experts in Jinan, Shandong Province, and listened to everyone's opinions and suggestions on deepening the reform of the power system, developing venture capital, using science and technology to transform and upgrade traditional industries, and optimizing the business environment for foreign-funded enterprises.

It is not difficult for careful people to find that among the business representatives attending the symposium were not only representatives of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, but also representatives of foreign-funded enterprises. The issuance of reform documents gathered the broadest public opinion and wisdom.

Several times, repeated revisions. In more than seven months, the final version of the duel was carefully deliberated and polished, and the process was drafted 38 times. From major judgments and major measures, to written expressions and sentences, we strive to be pragmatic, rigorous, and precise.

As of May 30, a total of 1911 amendment opinions have been proposed by various regions, departments and parties, and after deducting duplicate opinions, the number is 1756, including 135 principles and 1621 specific amendment opinions.

After careful study of these opinions and suggestions, we absorbed as much as possible and made 221 modifications.

The process of drafting decisions is a process of planning and promoting reforms. It is also an inspiring and high-spirited process.

During this period, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over three meetings of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and two meetings of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to review relevant documents of the plenary session, carefully reviewed and corrected each draft submitted by the document drafting group, and issued important instructions many times.

After deliberation, demonstration, and research over and over again, revised, enriched and improved again and again, the draft decision has become increasingly mature through repeated polishing day and night.

On the morning of July 15, this document, which carried the historical mission and gathered the hearts and public opinion of the party, was placed in front of all comrades attending the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. General Secretary Xi Jinping explained the "Decision (Discussion Draft)" to the plenary session.

The 199 Central Committee members, 165 alternate Central Committee members, and comrades who attended the plenary session were divided into 10 groups to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions and put forward opinions and suggestions.

After full discussion, comrades attending the meeting put forward a total of 205 amendment opinions. Based on these opinions and suggestions, the document drafting team put forward revision suggestions to the discussion draft.

On the evening of July 17, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, listened to reports on the discussions of each group in the plenary session and the revision suggestions of the document drafting group, and made 25 revisions to the final version. The resulting revised draft was submitted to the plenary session again on the morning of the 18th for comments, and then two revisions were made to form a draft "Decision".

Comrades attending the meeting unanimously stated that the "Decision" has a clear theme, a cohesive focus, a reasonable layout, prominent key points, a clear direction, and specific measures. It fully reflects the strong determination of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core to further comprehensively deepen reforms and promote Chinese-style modernization., political responsibility and historical initiative are re-declarations of what flag to raise and what path to take in the new era and new journey, and will surely inject strong impetus into the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.

Comrades attending the meeting agreed that we are confident and confident to continue to move forward on the basis of the successful practice and great achievements of comprehensively deepening reforms since the new era. With General Secretary Xi Jinping as the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the entire Party at the helm, and with the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the giant ship of China will surely cut through the waves and open up bright prospects for Chinese-style modernization in order to further comprehensively deepen reforms.

Draw a new chapter of the reform plan and open up the times-implement the reform with the spirit of nailing, and transform the strategic deployment of further comprehensively deepening reform into a powerful force for promoting Chinese-style modernization

"Passed!"

On the afternoon of July 18, the Great Hall of the People. As soon as General Secretary Xi Jinping finished speaking, there was long-lasting warm applause at the venue.

This is a practical continuation of comprehensively deepening reforms since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It is also a new chapter in the new journey of promoting Chinese-style modernization. During the critical period of promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation, the "Decision" thoroughly analyzed the new situations and new problems faced in promoting Chinese-style modernization, scientifically planned the overall deployment of further comprehensively deepening reforms around Chinese-style modernization, and held high on the new journey. Raise the great banner of reform and opening up.

The document of more than 20,000 words outlines the reform blueprint of the century-old party in its prime and perseverance, and witnesses the sonorous footsteps of the Chinese people to move forward bravely and work hard.

The "Decision" consists of 15 parts, which can be divided into three major sections: "1+13+1". The first section is a general discussion, which mainly expounds the significance and overall requirements of further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting Chinese-style modernization. The second sector is a sub-discussion, taking economic system reform as the guide and comprehensively deploying reforms in various fields and aspects. The third section mainly talks about strengthening the party's leadership over reform and deepening the reform of the party building system.

People have noticed that the draft decision has a total of 60 articles, which coincides with the 60 measures of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. At the same time, it also reflects distinctive characteristics in theory and practice.

Adhere to goal orientation, run through and embody the theme of Chinese-style modernization--

Standing at a new historical starting point, the "Decision" clarifies the overall goal of further comprehensively deepening reforms: continue to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. By 2035, a high-level socialist market economic system will be fully established, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics will be more complete, the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities will be basically realized, and socialist modernization will be basically realized, laying a solid foundation for comprehensively building a socialist modern and powerful country by the middle of this century.

This overall goal is not only in line with the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reforms set by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but also in line with the strategic deployment made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, clarifying the goal orientation for further comprehensively deepening reforms.

The "Decision" is carefully designed around promoting Chinese-style modernization and implementing the strategic arrangements of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It proposes to focus on building a high-level socialist market economic system, focusing on developing the whole process of people's democracy, focusing on building a socialist cultural power, and focusing on improving the people's "seven focuses" on quality of life, focusing on building a beautiful China, focusing on building a higher-level safe China, and focusing on improving the party's leadership level and long-term governance capabilities. Generally, it includes the strategic priorities of promoting Chinese-style modernization.

To ensure that the reform ship moves forward steadily, the "Decision" proposes that further comprehensively deepening reforms must implement the "six persistences" principles: adhere to the party's overall leadership, adhere to the people-centered approach, adhere to integrity and innovation, and adhere to system construction as the main line., adhere to the comprehensive rule of law, and adhere to the concept of system.

The "Six Persistences" principle is a scientific summary of the valuable experience of comprehensively deepening reforms since the reform and opening up, especially in the new era, and must be conscientiously implemented in further comprehensively deepening reforms.

Highlight the key points of reform and seize the "bull nose" of further comprehensively deepening reform--

Economic system reform is the driving force for further comprehensive deepening of reform. Among the 13 parts of the "Decision", 6 are related to the economic field, which shows its weight.

The "Decision" puts the construction of a high-level socialist market economic system in a prominent position, grasps the key areas and key links of economic system reform, and guides and drives other reforms:

Promote the optimization of the layout and structural adjustment of the state-owned economy, formulate a private economy promotion law, prevent and correct the use of administrative and criminal means to interfere in economic disputes, clean up and abolish various regulations and practices that hinder the national unified market and fair competition, and infringe on various ownership economic property rights and legitimate interests shall be subject to the same responsibility, crime and punishment...

At the same time, the "Decision" proposes to improve the system and mechanism for developing new quality productivity according to local conditions, strengthen the supply of systems in new fields and new tracks, establish a growth mechanism for future industrial investment, deepen the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, increase local independent financial resources, and expand local tax sources, etc. to further reform Shape development momentum and stimulate economic vitality.

Not only in the economic field, but also in politics, culture, society, ecological civilization, national security, national defense and the military... The "Decision" adheres to the unity of demand orientation and problem orientation, grasps the main contradiction, enhances forward-looking and operability, and adopts reform Effectively eliminate all aspects of problems and risks and challenges faced by promoting Chinese-style modernization, and promote better adaptation of production relations and productivity, superstructure and economic foundation, national governance and social development.

Adhere to the supremacy of the people and plan and promote reforms based on the overall, fundamental and long-term interests of the people--

Opening the full text of the "Decision", I found that the seemingly insignificant matter of student internship practice was also written into the central document.

What the people care about and expect, what reform must grasp and promote. The series of reform measures proposed in the "Decision" are needed for development and are also the aspiration of the people, constantly satisfying the people's yearning for a better life:

Improve the social security system for people with flexible employment, migrant workers, and people with new employment forms, completely eliminate household registration restrictions on participating in insurance at places of employment, accelerate the construction of a new real estate development model, improve the population development support and service system, improve the birth support policy system and incentive mechanism, and follow the principle of voluntariness and flexibility, advance the gradual extension of the legal retirement age reform in a steady and orderly manner...

The people-centered development idea shines even more brightly in the further comprehensive deepening of reforms.

Pay attention to system integration, and coordinate and efficient reforms in all aspects--

Those who are good at chess plan for momentum, and those who are good at strategizing will go far. As a political document that has an overall and long-term guiding role in the development of the cause of the party and the country, the "Decision" proposes reform measures based on the overall work of the party and the country, plans major measures with fundamental and guiding effects, and strengthens various reform measures. Coordinate and support, and strengthen the integration of similar reform measures in related fields.

A distinctive feature of the "Decision" is to pay more attention to system integration, take the goals, tasks and major issues of promoting Chinese-style modernization as the guide, and plan to further comprehensively deepen reforms under the framework of coordinating and promoting the "Five-in-One" overall layout and coordinating and promoting the "Four Comprehensives" strategic layout, strengthen the overall planning and systematic layout of reforms, and ensure that reforms are more focused, coordinated and efficient.

Taking "Building a System and Mechanism to Support Comprehensive Innovation" as an example, the "Decision" coordinates and promotes the integrated reform of the system and mechanism of educational science and technology talents, promotes the same direction and formation of synergy of reform measures in all fields and parts, and improves the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system.

Strengthen political guarantees and lead the great social revolution with the party's self-revolution--

The key to running China's affairs well lies in the party. To further comprehensively deepen reforms and promote Chinese-style modernization, we must continuously improve the party's leadership level and effectively strengthen and improve party building.

The "Decision" specifically uses a part to deploy the reform of the party's leadership and the party building system. It not only regards upholding and strengthening the party's leadership as the political guidance and political guarantee for further comprehensively deepening reforms, but also continues to promote the new great project of party building in the new era.

Improve the implementation mechanism of major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, improve the institutional mechanisms for preventing and controlling formalism and bureaucracy, improve the mechanism for the simultaneous investigation and treatment of unhealthy trends and corruption issues, and enrich effective methods to prevent and control new types of corruption and hidden corruption... A series of major measures, fully Reflect the firmness and sobriety of persevering in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party.

The tide of reform is rising, and the drum is beating to urge the levy. However, if we do not settle down to implement it, no matter how good the goal or the blueprint is, it will only be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

The last of the 60 articles of the "Decision" highlights "the implementation of reform with the spirit of nailing." By drawing up a blueprint to the end and working on it one after another, leading cadres at all levels will surely transform the strategic deployment of further comprehensively deepening reforms into a powerful force for promoting Chinese-style modernization.

It is a flag-raising declaration and a road map to overcome difficulties. The "Decision" embodies our party's accurate judgment of the environment, risks and challenges, and strategic direction of the times, a profound grasp of the major principles, overall goals, and main directions of comprehensively deepening reforms, and a profound foresight and determination to carry out the reform to the end. courage.

Looking back from the top of history, from starting a new era of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, to starting a new journey of comprehensively deepening reforms in the new era and comprehensively designing the system to promote reforms, to promoting comprehensive deepening of reforms in breadth and depth, three times The "Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" is consistent and consistent:

--The Chinese Communists are unwavering in their determination to move forward. In the face of various risks and tests, we will not change our will and our path, let the east, west, north and south wind wind, not afraid of floating clouds to obscure our eyes, and firmly control the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands.
