Beijing, 18 Dec (Xinhua) -- The writing of history often opens a new chapter in the midst of change.
Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, 45 years of hard work, the tide of reform and opening up has stirred China, and socialist China has achieved a great leap from "catching up with the times" to "leading the times".
Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in the past 10 years, our Party has comprehensively deepened reform with great political courage, achieved historic changes, systematic reshaping and overall reconstruction in many fields, and created a new situation of reform and opening up with unprecedented strength.
The vicissitudes of wind and rain, the avenue is boundless. Practice has shown us that reform and opening up is the only way for contemporary China to develop and progress, and to realize the Chinese dream. On the new journey of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, carrying out reform and opening up to the end is the call of the times, the voice of the people, the unswerving strategic layout of the Party Central Committee, and the mission and responsibility of the Chinese Communists in the new era.
(a)
The reform of the economic system has been continuously improved, the reform of the political system has been steadily promoted, the reform of the cultural system has been innovatively developed, the reform of the social system has been comprehensively promoted, the reform of the ecological civilization system has been accelerated, the reform of the party building system has been steadily promoted, the reform of the discipline inspection system has achieved important phased results, and the reform of national defense and the armed forces has made historic breakthroughs......
Time is a faithful recorder. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sounded the clarion call for comprehensively deepening reform, and opened a new era of comprehensively deepening reform and promoting reform through the overall design of the system. Over the past 10 years, the reform has been all-round, deep-seated and fundamental, the achievements have been historical, revolutionary and groundbreaking, the basic institutional framework in various fields has been basically established, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has become more mature and formalized, and the level of modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity has been significantly improved, writing a rich and colorful chapter in the grand process of Chinese-style modernization.
Looking back, we can better understand the true meaning of "historic change".
The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core adheres to the guidance of goals, highlights the orientation of problems, dares to break through deep waters, dares to gnaw hard bones, dares to wade into dangerous beaches, dares to face new contradictions and new challenges, breaks through the shackles of ideology and concepts, breaks through the barriers of solidified interests, resolutely breaks down the shortcomings of various systems and mechanisms, and opens up a great change with momentum and far-reaching impact.
This is a profound change in ideology and theory. The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core adheres to ideological and theoretical innovation to lead reform practice innovation, promotes the enrichment and development of ideology and theory by summing up practical experience, puts forward a series of breakthrough, strategic, and guiding important ideas and major theses from the aspects of comprehensively deepening reform, such as the overall goal, main direction of attack, key tasks, value orientation, scientific methodology, and practical path, and scientifically answers a series of major theoretical and practical questions such as why and how to comprehensively deepen reform in the new era.
This is a profound change in the way organizations are organized. The party's centralized and unified leadership over the comprehensive deepening of reform has been continuously strengthened, and the reform has been planned and promoted with the overall concept and systematic thinking, from ramming the foundation and erecting pillars and beams to comprehensively advancing and accumulating momentum, and then to strengthening system integration, coordination and efficiency, and solving the problems of institutional obstacles, institutional obstructions, and policy innovation in all fields in a steady, effective and orderly manner, with clear direction and goals, clear strategic deployment, and efficient methods and paths, so as to realize the historic transformation from local exploration and ice-breaking breakthrough to systematic coordination and comprehensive deepening.
This is a profound change in the state system and governance system. Comprehensively deepening the reform has put the national governance system and governance capacity building in a more prominent position, highlighted the main line of system building, built a solid foundation, improved the basic system, and innovated important systems, laying a solid foundation for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.
Looking back, we can truly understand the outstanding power of the core leadership.
In March 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Ningbo Zhoushan Port in Zhejiang Province to inspect the resumption of work and production. "I feel that the current situation is very different, the environmental conditions of big in and out have changed, and we must put forward new ideas to lead development according to the new situation. Soon after returning to Beijing, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed at the seventh meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission to "build a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other." The "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a National Unified Market" and other reform measures have injected strong impetus into promoting the construction of a new development pattern, a high-standard market system, and a high-level socialist market economic system.
This is a vivid microcosm of General Secretary Xi's planning and promotion of reform and opening up in the new era. Comprehensively deepening reform has been incorporated into the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, personally presided over 40 meetings of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform and 30 meetings of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, and strengthened the top-level design of reform; systematically summed up the valuable experience of reform and opening up over the past 40 years, continuously promoted theoretical and practical innovation, and injected strong ideological and action forces into reform; conducted in-depth investigation and investigation in various localities and departments, investigated the facts, listened to the voices of the people, and We have devised good policies, made arrangements for and pushed forward a series of reform battles, solved many difficult problems with reform ideas and methods, and accomplished many important things......
Since the beginning of the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping, with the profound insight, keen judgment and theoretical creativity of Marxist politicians, thinkers and strategists, has both taken command and gone out to personally grasp reform, providing fundamental compliance and scientific guidance for comprehensively deepening reform in the new era, advancing the theory and practice of socialist reform with Chinese characteristics to a new breadth and depth, promoting major breakthroughs in comprehensively deepening reform, and leading China to achieve new great social changes.
Practice has fully proved that the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has always been the anchor for comprehensively deepening reform. The reason for the brilliant achievements of reform and opening up in the new era is fundamentally that General Secretary Xi Jinping is at the helm as the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the whole party, and that there is the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era. This is the greatest confidence and fundamental guarantee for the steady and far-reaching development of the cause of reform and opening up on the new journey.

"Our modernization is both the hardest and the greatest. General Secretary Xi's words are thought-provoking. To date, there are no more than 30 industrialized countries in the world, with a total population of no more than 1 billion. The modernization of China's more than 1.4 billion people will be an unprecedented event in the history of human development and will completely rewrite the map of the modern world.
But it is arduous, so it is great, but its arduousness is more glorious. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) drew up a grand blueprint for building China into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way through Chinese-style modernization, and expounded five major principles that must be firmly grasped on the way forward, one of which is to persist in deepening reform and opening up. Reform has always been the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization.
Reform is forced by problems and deepened in the course of continuous problem solving. The more in-depth reform and opening up develops, the more intertwined and complicated the problems and contradictions encountered, the tasks to be accomplished and newly proposed. There is no other way to resolve these problems and contradictions than to deepen reform and opening up. In this sense, reform and opening up are only in progress but not completed. Only by unswervingly deepening reform and opening wider to the outside world can we firmly grasp the historical initiative and constantly create new historical causes.
On the new journey of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, the mainland's development is facing new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and new strategic environment. Promoting Chinese-style modernization is an unprecedented pioneering undertaking, and there are still many uncharted areas, which require us to continue to boldly explore, reform and innovate in practice, so as to make Chinese-style modernization more practical and stable.
In the face of the accelerated evolution of the great changes in the world unseen in a century, it is all the more necessary to liberate and develop the social productive forces through deepening reform and opening up, stimulate and enhance social vitality, continuously enhance our own strength, and better promote world peace and development; To improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, it is more necessary to promote innovation in all aspects through reform and better transform the advantages of the system into the efficiency of national governance, and to continuously meet the people's yearning for a better life, and it is more necessary to solve the people's problems of urgency, hardship and longing through reform, so as to inject inexhaustible impetus into creating a high-quality life......
The way out lies in reform, and hope lies in reform. To achieve the goals and tasks of the new era and new journey, we should take the comprehensive deepening of reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, as an important starting point for stabilizing the overall situation, responding to the situation, and opening up a new situation, and write a new chapter in reform and opening up in the new era.

The most difficult thing about reform is self-revolution with the blade inward.
The reform of Party and state institutions launched in 2018 involved more than 1.8 million people at the level of the central and state organs, and more than 80 departments involved in the adjustment of management systems, institutional settings, responsibilities and personnel. Among them, 21 ministerial-level institutions have been reduced, and the number of principal and deputy posts in the team has been reduced by 58, and the number of assistant ministerial departments has been reduced by 9, and the number of posts has been reduced by 25...... In the magnificent process of comprehensively deepening reform, reforms that move cheese and touch interests abound. It is precisely because our party has shown the courage and mind to carry out self-innovation, grasped reform with real swords and guns, and sought practical results at every turn, that we have overcome one difficulty and one obstacle after another and completed one arduous task after another.
The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong. Looking at the whole world, no country or political party can have such political courage and historical responsibility, dare to make bold moves, turn inward, and revolutionize itself, and no country or political party can promote such a large-scale, large-scale, and large-scale reform in such a short period of time, which is a distinctive feature and significant advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.
The key to running China's affairs well lies in the party. Always upholding and strengthening the party's leadership and persisting in leading the great social revolution with the great self-revolution is the key to the success of reform and opening up, and it is also the winning way to comprehensively deepen reform.
Develop the topic and reform it. As far as the Chinese communists in the new era are concerned, to do a good job in comprehensively deepening reform on the new journey, it is necessary to strengthen the awareness of problems, take major issues as the guide, grasp major issues and key issues for further study and thinking, and find out answers; it is necessary to strengthen investigation and study, go to more places and departments where contradictions and problems are concentrated, go deep into the grassroots and among the masses, observe the actual situation, and dissect sparrows; it is necessary to adhere to scientific methodology, properly handle the top-level design and cross the river by feeling the stones, be bold and take steady steps, and It is necessary to grasp the key points and take practical measures, focus on the major issues in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, plan and promote reform, make good use of the favorable conditions for deepening reform, and strive to make new breakthroughs in eliminating the shortcomings of various systems and mechanisms and adjusting the pattern of deep-seated interests.
"The power of action is to know more and more, and the depth of knowledge is to achieve more." If we find out the situation, find out the problems accurately, put forward practical countermeasures, rely on reform and innovation to respond to the situation, cultivate opportunities, and open up a new situation, and turn each "problem list" into a "list of achievements", we will certainly be able to accumulate small victories into big victories, and continue to promote Chinese-style modernization in a down-to-earth manner with new achievements in reform and opening up.

"Is the rent expensive?" In the middle of winter, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the rental housing community in Shanghai's Minhang District and chatted with tenants. "Cities should not only have height, but also temperature. The general secretary's remarks showed the clear value orientation of people-centered reform and development.
From adhering to the basic strategy of targeted poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation, winning the battle against poverty and lifting nearly 100 million rural poor people out of poverty, to building the world's largest education, social security and medical and health systems, from deepening the reform of the judicial system to vigorously safeguard fairness and justice, to promulgating the first civil code of the People's Republic of China to protect people's better life, from creating more than 13 million new jobs in urban areas every year, to benefiting more than 140 million people through affordable housing projects...... The heavy report card records the warm pace of comprehensively deepening reform for the benefit of the people, and vividly interprets that "making the people's lives happy is the 'great man of the country'".
Governing the country is permanent, and benefiting the people is the foundation. Over the past 10 years, we have comprehensively deepened the reform and insisted on starting from solving the most direct and realistic interests of the masses, rushing to the problems, focusing on the problems and reforming them, starting from the things around the people, and continuing to promote major reforms and system construction in the field of people's livelihood, so that the masses can truly feel the new changes brought about by the reform.
The people are the protagonists of the reform cause, and reform is for the people, relying on the people, and the fruits of reform are shared by the people and tested by the people. On the new journey, only by implementing the party's mass line, respecting the people's dominant position, truly unblocking the channels for the masses to reflect problems and opinions, and condensing the will and wisdom of the masses, can we fully stimulate the creative power hidden in the people, jointly think of ways for reform, and work together for reform.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "what the people care about and expect, we must attach importance to and pay attention to, and reform must grasp and promote what to bring more sense of gain to the people through reform." On the new journey, we should strive to meet the needs and anxieties of the people, and continue to make new progress in educating the young, learning and teaching, earning from labor, receiving medical treatment for the sick, providing for the elderly, housing and supporting the weak, so that the fruits of reform and development can benefit all the people more and more fairly, and continue to promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people, so as to write a new chapter in the people's better life with the new results of comprehensively deepening reform.

On the banks of the Huangpu River in the golden autumn season, guests from all over the world gather "four-leaf clover". More than 3,400 companies from all over the world participated in the exhibition, 289 of the world's top 500 and industry leading enterprises participated in the exhibition, and more than 400 new products, new technologies and new services such as "China Chip" and "Future Car" were unveiled...... A set of numbers marks the new height of the opening up of the 6th China International Import Expo.
China's development cannot be separated from the world, and the world's development also needs China. From the Belt and Road Initiative to the China International Import Expo, the China Import and Export Fair, the China International Fair for Trade in Services and other major exhibitions, from promoting all countries and parties to share the opportunities of China's institutional opening-up, to implementing the Foreign Investment Law and related supporting regulations, from building a high-quality pilot free trade zone to accelerating the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port...... Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has accurately grasped the new trend of economic globalization and the new requirements of the mainland's opening up to the outside world, and made a series of major arrangements for deepening reform and expanding opening up. This is a strategic choice made by China based on its development needs, and it is also benefiting the people of the world with concrete actions.
Promoting reform and development through opening up is an important magic weapon for the mainland to continuously make new achievements in modernization. At present, the changes in the world, the times, and history are unfolding in an unprecedented way. The world economic recovery is insufficient, and unstable, uncertain and unpredictable factors are increasing, and global development is facing many challenges. In the face of great changes in the world unseen in a century, "building walls and barriers" and "decoupling and breaking chains" are moves against the trend of history, and openness, cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results are the right way for the world. China is unswervingly deepening reforms, expanding high-level opening-up, and injecting positive energy into global development. The process of China embracing the world is also the process of the world moving towards China, and it is also a process of win-win cooperation. China's economy is resilient, has sufficient potential, has wide room for maneuver, and its long-term positive fundamentals have not changed and will not change, and it is more confident and capable of achieving long-term stable development, and will continue to bring new impetus and new opportunities to the world with China's new development.
China's door to opening up will not be closed, but will only open wider and wider. Looking forward to the future, with the continuous advancement of Chinese-style modernization, China will make new and greater contributions to promoting the progress of human civilization and advancing the process of world modernization in the new era of unswerving reform and opening up. The next "China" is still China!

Reform is the way for a country and a nation to survive and develop. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said, "Without the spirit of forging ahead, without the spirit of 'taking risks,' and without the vigor and vigor, we will not be able to embark on a good road, a new road, or a new cause." General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Only by daring to take the road that others have not walked can we harvest a different scenery." "To promote the cause of reform and opening up on the new journey, we must vigorously carry forward the spirit of reform and opening up, maintain the momentum of "breaking through", stimulate the wisdom of "innovation", temper the style of "doing", and constantly promote reform and opening up and Chinese-style modernization to advance in breadth and depth.
To deepen reform and opening up on the new journey, we must emancipate our minds and seek truth from facts. A history of China's reform and opening up is a history of ideological emancipation in which the party led the people to constantly shake off the shackles of ideas and make unremitting efforts to create and explore. Only by focusing on solving the practical problems of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization in the new era, daring to say new things that have not been said by predecessors, daring to do things that have not been done by predecessors, and treating all new things with enthusiasm, can we continue to answer the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times. Only by insisting on proceeding from reality in everything, thinking about problems and making decisions are in line with reality, being in touch with the local atmosphere, being good at seeing the essence through phenomena, and being good at following the law to solve problems, can we make the reform measures more scientific and effective, and effectively promote the development of the cause.
To deepen reform and opening up on the new journey, we must dare to dare to try and innovate. The reform has entered the deep-water area, and there are many dangerous shoals and reefs, so we must have the courage to "know that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to go to the tiger mountains." To correctly handle the relationship between "establishment" and "breaking", we must not only have the courage to "break", dare to break the rules and regulations that hinder high-quality development, and break through the barriers of solidified interests, but also have the action of "establishment", respect the people's initiative, explore new ideas, new paths and new methods, respond to new challenges, and solve new problems. Let the "tide makers" of the new era fight the wind and waves, and the "pioneer cattle" will shake the wind and gather the wisdom and strength of the broadest masses of the people, and the reform will be invincible and invincible.
To deepen reform and opening up on the new journey, we must do solid work and seek practical results. This is how the cause of reform and opening up has come out step by step and built brick by brick. The new journey is an expedition full of glory and dreams. Strengthen the belief that "although the road is far, the line is coming", maintain the tenacity of "a drop of water can penetrate the stone", not only be a promoter of reform, but also a doer of reform, and move forward steadily and steadily with the spirit of nailing.

Shenzhen, Lianhuashan Park, the bronze statue of Comrade Deng Xiaoping stands tall, looking at the land under his feet affectionately. Not far away, a mountain banyan tree planted by General Secretary Xi Jinping is already flourishing.
The picture scroll of history is spreading all the way in the process of forging ahead, and the chapters of the times are constantly being written in the continuous struggle. The recently concluded Central Economic Work Conference emphasized that "we must insist on relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous driving force of development", and deployed key tasks such as deepening reform in key areas and expanding high-level opening up.
Today, following the road of reform and opening up, the development of the mainland has a more solid material foundation, a more perfect institutional guarantee, and a more active spiritual strength, and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process, and socialism with Chinese characteristics has shown vigorous vitality. History has proven and will continue to prove that reform and opening up is a key move in determining the future and destiny of contemporary China, and the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the right path to guide China's development and prosperity.
The journey is long, but there is only struggle. The only way to break the situation and open the way is reform. On the new journey, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, we will gather the mighty strength of hundreds of millions of people to carry out reform and opening up to the end, and we will certainly be able to firmly grasp the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands and strive to create new glories of Chinese-style modernization!
