The great rejuvenation of China

4. adhere to the pilot project and promote the comprehensive promotion

Adhering to the principle of pilot projects and promoting them in an all-round way is an important method and important experience of reform and opening up. The pilot project is to accumulate experience and find out the rules for comprehensive promotion. Comprehensive promotion is based on the pilot first, which is the goal pursuit and final embodiment of the pilot first. Reform and opening up has been continuously developed in the course of promoting pilot projects to comprehensive and local to the overall situation. China’s reform and opening up began with pilot projects. This is true of the pilot reform of state- owned enterprises in the early stage of reform and opening up, the four special economic zones of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen as “test fields” for opening up to the outside world, or the establishment of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to explore new forms of trade facilitation. To promote reform and opening up, it is not necessary to carry out pilot projects in all aspects and fields. In practice, for reforms that must make breakthroughs but are not so sure for the time being, we adopt the method of pilot exploration and throwing stones to ask for directions, carry out experiments first, respect practice and creation, encourage bold exploration, dare to open up, gain experience, see it accurately, and then push it away. For reforms that are not yet deep enough in understanding, but must be promoted, we must boldly explore and pilot the reforms. Some reforms involve deep-seated institutional factors and complex interest relationships, and it is difficult to push them out on the surface for a while; it is necessary to give play to the role of scouts and advance teams in the pilot reforms, find out the rules, build consensus, and accumulate experience and create conditions for comprehensively pushing them out. Seeking comprehensive advancement on the basis of pilot projects can effectively reduce the overall cost and risk of promotion, and is more conducive to steadily advancing reform and opening up.

When advancing in an all-round way, it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between the whole and the key points, pay attention to grasping the main aspects of the main contradictions and contradictions, and grasp the important areas and key links, and also focus on proceeding from the system and the whole, carry out overall planning, and promote the development of work in all aspects.

5. correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability

Reform involves in-depth interest adjustment and system adjustment, and we must properly handle the relationship between reform, development, and stability. Reform, development and stability are the three important fulcrums of China’s socialist modernization construction and the three key chess pieces in the overall situation. Reform is a powerful driving force for economic and social development, development is the key to solving all economic and social problems, and stability is the prerequisite for reform and development. At present, China is not only in a period of important strategic opportunities for development, but also in a period of prominent social contradictions, and it is particularly important to properly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability, and promote reform and development in social stability. It is necessary to persistently unify the intensity of reform, the speed of development and the degree of social tolerance, take the improvement of people’s living standards as the point of integration in correctly handling the relationship between reform, development and stability, promote reform and development while maintaining social stability, and promote social stability through reform and development. It is necessary to enhance the coordination of reform measures, development measures, and stability measures, properly grasp the relationship between current interests and long-term interests, partial interests and overall interests, and individual interests and collective interests, and strive to solve problems related to the vital interests of the masses, and also focus on guiding the masses to correctly handle various interest relations, rationally and lawfully express their interest demands, and create a stable and united social atmosphere. The new era is an era of comprehensive rule of law. Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out in particular: “Throughout the reform process, we must attach great importance to the use of rule of law thinking and methods, give play to the leading and promoting role of the rule of law, strengthen the coordination of relevant legislative work, and ensure that reform is promoted on the track of rule of law.“1 The deeper the reform and opening up, the more emphasis should be placed on the rule of law. We must not violate the law under the guise of reform, nor can we not use the excuse that the law is not perfect and does not promote reform. In the practice of reform, the study of reform plans and reform measures should simultaneously consider the legislative issues involved, and put forward legislative needs and suggestions in a timely manner.

The results of reform that have proved effective in practice should be upgraded into law in a timely manner. Where the conditions for practice are not yet ripe and it is necessary to carry out a trial first, authorization should be made in accordance with legal procedures. Laws and regulations that do not meet the requirements of reform should be promptly revised or abolished. Comrade Xi Jinping has stressed many times that the advancement of reform and opening up to this day is more important than understanding determination, and more important than method is responsibility. In order to implement the plan for comprehensively deepening reform, the central authorities have clarified the responsibilities and requirements of all departments and units for implementing the reform plan, stressed that the central and local governments should work together to form a joint force, and make it clear that the relevant central departments that undertake the leading tasks are the main units responsible for implementation, and must earnestly shoulder the responsibility for the implementation of reform, especially paying attention to opening up the “last mile” of reform promotion. In the concrete practice of promoting reform and opening up, we must focus on the concrete implementation of relevant important reform arrangements, and the vast number of party-member leading cadres must earnestly “understand the reform in a practical way, plan for the reform, implement the reform, and act as both a promoter of reform and a doer of reform.”1

“To govern a big country, if you cook small food. “China is a big country, and it must not make subversive mistakes on fundamental issues, and once they occur, they cannot be irreparable or compensated. In the new era, comprehensively deepening reform and opening up, just like moving forward in deep water, encountering more and more resistance, facing more and more reefs, undercurrents, and whirlpools, we must understand the water nature, grasp the overall situation, seek progress in stability, must adhere to scientific methodology, pay attention to systematic, holistic and synergistic, not only adhere to emancipating the mind, dare to be the first in the world, dare to dare to try, but also adhere to seeking truth from facts, actively and steadily, and step steadily to unify reform and development, adhere to the direction of unchanged, the road is not biased, The intensity will not be reduced, and the reform and opening up will go more steadily and further.
