This important statement adheres to the basic position of Marxism and contains rich strategic ideas and practical connotations. It is not only a historical experience in the development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but also a basic guideline for comprehensively deepening reform and accelerating innovation and development on the new journey.
1. Only reformers should advance: continue to make full use of the key move of reform
General Secretary Xi Jinping, in leading the practice of governing the country in the new era, insists on using Marxist standpoints, views and methods to observe the times, grasp the times, and lead the times, stand in the overall development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and draws a strategic blueprint for comprehensively deepening reform . At the 15th meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms, he emphasized that we must continue to make full use of the key move of reform and maintain strategic determination to move forward bravely and without any obstacles.
From the strategic height of self-improvement and development of the socialist system ,
profoundly clarifies the importance of comprehensively deepening reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made scientific judgments such as "reform has entered a critical period and deep water zone" and "reforms in many fields have entered a no-man's zone." To resolve the prominent contradictions and problems facing our country's development, achieve sustainable and healthy economic and social development, and continuously improve people's lives, we must comprehensively deepen reforms. In the strategic layout of ", four comprehensive ", comprehensive deepening of reform plays a fundamental role. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must show courage to adhere to the correct direction of reform and opening up, dare to tackle tough problems, dare to wade through dangerous shoals, be brave to break through obstacles to ideological concepts, and be brave to break through the barriers of solidified interests, so that reform will not stop and opening up will not stop. At the same time, reform and opening up has direction, position and principles. Comprehensively deepening reform is the self-improvement and development of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. We must adhere to the correct direction and advance along the right path.
adheres to the basic view of dialectical materialism and scientifically explains the internal unity of the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the reform led by our party has always been a comprehensive reform. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee studied the issue of comprehensively deepening reform and put forward the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform. This is an inevitable requirement for improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and is an inherent meaning of realizing socialist modernization. Deeply understanding and grasping this overall goal is the key to implementing various reform measures. The overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform is a whole composed of two sentences: the first sentence stipulates the fundamental direction, and our direction is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, not any other path; the latter sentence stipulates the clear direction of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics under the guidance of the fundamental direction. Only by saying both sentences is complete.
grasps the main contradictions and the main aspects of the contradictions and accurately points out the importance of institutional construction in comprehensively deepening reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the system of governing the country plays a fundamental, overall and long-term role. This points out the direction for us to grasp and resolve the main contradictions and the main aspects of contradictions and achieve key breakthroughs in overall advancement. Our main historical task is to provide a complete, more stable and more effective system for the development of the Party and the country, for the happiness and well-being of the people, for the harmony and stability of society, and for the long-term stability of the country.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have adhered to and improved the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, constantly explored, practiced, innovated, reformed and improved, so that the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has become more mature and more established, the Party’s understanding of the construction of the socialist system has been deepened, and the institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics have been continuously demonstrated.
emphasizes the use of Marxist philosophical methodology to promote reform to form overall effects and achieve overall results. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "comprehensively deepening reforms is to coordinate the promotion of reforms in various fields. We need to have the goal of managing the overall situation and answer the question of what is the ultimate purpose of promoting reforms in various fields and what overall results should be achieved." This provides methodological guidance for coordinating the promotion of reforms in various fields. This requires us to start from our country's national conditions and economic and social development, and to promote reform with leadership and steps, without seeking sensational effects or doing superficial work. We must attach great importance to the use of the rule of law thinking and the rule of law method. Before policy measures are introduced, we must undergo repeated demonstration and scientific evaluation, strive to be realistic, effective, and long-term, and we cannot "turn a cake" casually.
2. Only innovators are strong: promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we must "continuously deepen reform and opening up, constantly discover, create, and make progress, and continuously promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation."
keeps pace with the times and promotes the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, which is the fundamental requirement for building a modern socialist country in all respects. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, responding to the new requirements put forward by new situations and new tasks for the development of the Party and the country, striving to explore new ideas, new measures and new methods to solve major problems, creating Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and marking a new height of Marxist development with its original theoretical contribution. In the new era, the most important thing is to continuously promote the sinicization of Marxism. The most important thing is to uphold and develop contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism, insist on using the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "what" of China in the new era, and win new great victories on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
Unswervingly implements the innovation-driven strategy to provide strong momentum for building a modern socialist country. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that innovation has always been an important force in promoting the development of a country and a nation. my country is a major developing country and is vigorously promoting the transformation of economic development mode and economic structure adjustment. It is necessary to implement the innovation-driven development strategy well. Grasping innovation is grasping development, and seeking innovation is planning for the future. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have implemented the strategy of building a country with science and education in , the strategy of building a country with talents and talents, and the strategy of building a country with innovation-driven development, improved the national innovation system, further accelerated the construction of a country with science and technology, strived to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and firmly grasped the initiative in development in our own hands. On the new journey, we must continue to strengthen our confidence in innovation, seize innovation opportunities, strengthen our analysis and judgment on the correlation between various reforms, organically combine institutional reforms in economic, political, cultural, social, ecological and other aspects, and organically connect theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, scientific and technological innovation, cultural innovation and other aspects of innovation.
persist in improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and providing institutional support for demonstrating the advantages of "China's governance". General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly clarified the inherent consistency between firm institutional confidence and comprehensive deepening of reform. He pointed out that without firm institutional confidence, it is impossible to have the courage to deepen reform in an all-round way. Similarly, without continuous reform, institutional confidence cannot be thorough or long-lasting. Our comprehensive deepening of reform is to make the socialist system with Chinese characteristics better; we say that strengthening institutional confidence is not to be self-confidence, but to constantly eliminate the shortcomings of the system and mechanism and make our system mature and lasting.On the new journey, promoting the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics to a new level and achieving new results requires us to coordinate the promotion of institutional reforms in various aspects such as economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological, and continuously stimulate the creative vitality of the whole society.
3. Only reform and innovators win: to win new and greater victories on the new journey
It must be seen that compared with my country's economic and social development and the requirements of the people, compared with the increasingly fierce international competition in the world today, and compared with the long-term stability of the country, we still have many areas that need to be improved in terms of the national governance system and governance capabilities. During the 2022 National " Two Sessions ", General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the "five must-have paths" for the first time and pointed out the "strategic favorable conditions" for my country's development from five aspects. These important statements provide guidance for comprehensively deepening reform and accelerating innovative development on the new journey.
Upholding the Party’s leadership is the fundamental political guarantee for comprehensively deepening reform. Our country is a big country and must not make subversive mistakes on fundamental issues. Once they occur, they will be irreversible and irreparable. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Upholding the strong leadership core of the Communist Party of China is the basis of the destiny of the Chinese nation. On the new journey, we make good use of the "five favorable conditions" and take the "five must-have roads" to establish a fundamental foothold in upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership and providing fundamental political guarantees for comprehensively deepening reform. This is the foothold and starting point of reform and development.
correctly handles the relationship between strategy and strategy to achieve "slow and steady steps". Reform is not achieved overnight, nor is it a overnight success. For problems that arise and may arise in the reform process, we must "reach the vast and meticulous", overcome difficulties one by one, and solve problems one by one, so as to achieve "slow and steady steps". We must use strategies, wisdom and methods to start and end well, do things and accomplish things well, add new impetus to development through reform, enhance people's sense of gain through reform, and carry out reform with a large pattern and strong responsibility, and play the chorus of reform louder.
Accurately grasp the internal laws of reform and handle major relationships well. Comprehensively deepening reform requires high-quality top-level design and overall planning. We must grasp the pulse of reform from the complex appearance of things, grasp the internal laws of comprehensively deepening reform, especially grasp the major relationship between comprehensively deepening reform, handle the relationship between emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, the relationship between overall promotion and key breakthroughs, the relationship between overall and local, the relationship between top-level design and crossing the river by feeling the stones, the relationship between courage and steady steps, the relationship between reform, development and stability, etc., and strive to improve operational capabilities and execution capabilities, and ensure that the central decision-making and deployment are implemented in a timely and accurate manner.
