Qiushi.com commentator: The fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization

　　"Reform and opening up is an important magic weapon for contemporary China to catch up with the times, and it is a key move to determine the success or failure of Chinese-style modernization. To promote Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to further deepen reform and opening up in an all-round way, constantly liberate and develop the social productive forces, and liberate and enhance social vitality. ”

　　In General Secretary Xi Jinping's important article "Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Opening-up, Continuously Injecting Strong Impetus into Chinese-style Modernization" recently published by Qiushi magazine, the general secretary profoundly pointed out the great significance and far-reaching impact of reform and opening up.

　　In December 1978, our party convened the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee and made the historic decision to shift the focus of the work of the party and the state to economic construction and to carry out reform and opening up. Since then, the Chinese Communists and the Chinese people, with their indomitable enterprising spirit and magnificent innovative practices, have constantly overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the road of advancement, and pushed China's economic strength, comprehensive national strength, and people's living standards to a new level.

　　There is no end to practice and development, and there is no end to reform and opening up. With the development of practice, some deep-seated institutional problems and barriers to the solidification of interests have become increasingly apparent, and the reform has entered a period of tackling tough problems and deep waters. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has deepened reform in an all-round way with great political courage, dared to break through the deep water area, dared to gnaw hard bones, dared to wade into dangerous waters, dared to face new contradictions and new challenges, and opened a great transformation with momentum and far-reaching impact.

　　Behind the magnificent reform is the leader's boldness, big picture and great responsibility. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally led, deployed, and personally promoted the comprehensive deepening of reform, and grasped the overall design, overall coordination, overall advancement, and supervision and implementation of the reform. Comprehensively deepening reform has been included in the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and he has personally presided over more than 70 meetings of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform and the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, and strengthened the top-level design of reform; systematically summarize the valuable experience of reform and opening up for more than 40 years, continuously promote theoretical and practical innovation, and inject strong ideological and action forces into reform; From Shenzhen, Guangdong, the "window and experimental field of reform and opening up", to Xiaogang, Anhui, the birthplace of rural reform, from Hainan, a new highland for opening up to the outside world, to Pudong, Shanghai, the leading area of socialist modernization, we have conducted in-depth investigation and investigation in various localities and departments, investigated the facts, listened to the voices of the people, and sought good policies; We have made arrangements for and promoted a series of reform battles, overcome many long-standing problems, and accomplished many important matters that have a long-term bearing on the long term.

　　Reform practice breeds scientific theories, and great changes depend on ideological guidance.

　　With the profound insight, keen judgment and theoretical creativity of a Marxist politician, thinker and strategist, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important expositions on a series of major issues of directional, overall and strategic importance, and scientifically answered major theoretical and practical questions such as why and how to comprehensively deepen reform and opening up in the new era.

　　-- "A key move that determines the success or failure of Chinese-style modernization." Without reform and opening up, there would be no China today, and there would be no China tomorrow. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "the reason why socialism with Chinese characteristics has vigorous vitality is that it implements socialism of reform and opening up"; "Only reform and opening up can develop China, socialism, and Marxism"; "There is no end to the development of practice, there is no end to the emancipation of the mind, there is no end to reform and opening up, and reform and opening up are only in progress and not completed"; "It is necessary to take the comprehensive deepening of reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, and as an important starting point for stabilizing the overall situation, responding to the situation, and opening up a new situation."

　　-- "Reform and opening up has a direction, a standpoint, and a principle." The question of what direction to go in comprehensively deepening reform is a fundamental issue. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that upholding and strengthening the party's overall leadership "is a political theme that runs through the whole process of reform"; "The reform led by our party has always been a comprehensive reform", "it is a reform that continues to advance on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, neither taking the old road of closure and rigidity, nor taking the evil road of changing banners"; "We resolutely change what should be changed and can be changed, and resolutely not change what should not be changed and cannot be changed. We must adhere to the party's basic line, unify the two basic points of taking economic construction as the central task and adhering to the four cardinal principles and persisting in reform and opening up in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and adhere to it for a long time and never waver."

　　-- "Improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity". 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 socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the national governance system have "profound historical heritage", "significant advantages in many aspects", and "rich practical achievements", "we must not only adhere to and consolidate the mainland state system and national governance system that have been tested by long-term practice, but also improve and develop the mainland state system and national governance system, and constantly transform the advantages of the mainland system into national governance efficiency". "In the new era, we must adhere to and improve the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity as the main axis, deeply grasp the development requirements of the mainland and the trend of the times, put system construction and governance capacity building in a more prominent position, continue to deepen the reform of systems and mechanisms in various fields and aspects, promote more mature and stereotyped systems in all aspects, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity."

　　- "It is necessary to adhere to the correct methodology". The reform in the new era is more faced with deep-seated institutional and mechanism problems, with higher requirements for the top-level design of the reform, and stronger requirements for the systematic, holistic and collaborative nature of the reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that reform and opening up "must adhere to the correct methodology and advance in continuous practice and exploration"; "The system concept is a basic ideology and working method", and it is necessary to "correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability, adhere to the combination of the party's leadership and respect for the people's initiative, adhere to the combination of 'crossing the river by feeling the stones' and top-level design, adhere to the combination of problem-oriented and goal-oriented, adhere to the combination of pilot first and comprehensive promotion, adhere to the combination of reform decision-making and legislative decision-making, pay attention to the systematic, holistic and collaborative nature of reform, coordinate the progress of reform in various fields, and form an overall effect".

　　- "Unswervingly promote the implementation of major reform measures". Reform is focused on implementation, but it is also difficult to implement. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "all regions and departments should firmly establish a sense of overall situation and responsibility, take reform as a major political responsibility, strengthen the determination and confidence of reform, enhance the ideological consciousness and action consciousness of promoting reform, and be both a reform promoter and a reform doer, grasp the implementation of reform in the spirit of nailing, twist the key, make precise efforts, dare to gnaw hard bones, stare at grasping, and repeatedly grasp until the results are achieved"; "Through reform, we will effectively solve the problems of formalism that plague the grassroots, continue to put the enhancement of the people's sense of gain, happiness and security in a prominent position, and unswervingly promote the implementation of major reform measures."

　　-- "Persist in promoting high-level opening-up". Openness brings progress, while closure inevitably lags behind. Promoting reform and development through opening up is a successful practice of the mainland's reform and development. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "reform and opening-up complement each other and promote each other, reform inevitably requires openness, and openness inevitably requires reform"; "China's reform and opening up policy will remain unchanged for a long time, and it will never close the door of opening up by itself"; "China will continue to promote high-level opening-up, comprehensively promote Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development, and provide new opportunities for opening up and cooperation among countries."

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition has clarified the overall goal, correct direction, principles and methods, key tasks, and political guarantees for comprehensively deepening reform and opening up in the new historical direction, which is an important part of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and provides a powerful ideological and theoretical weapon for comprehensively deepening reform and opening up.
