Plenum resolution a blueprint for deepening reform
China DailyLujiazui, the financial center in Shanghai, forms a perfect backdrop to the Bund area. Similarly, the third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in 2013 was also epoch-making, as it initiated a new era of comprehensively deepening reform and expanding high-level opening-up. By comprehensively deepening reform, China can overcome the drawbacks of the system, strengthen the relationship between the economic base and superstructure, and national governance and social development, and advance Chinese modernization. The third plenum's resolution also said the country will follow the six major principles of comprehensively deepening reform, namely adhering to the comprehensive leadership of the Party, putting the people at the center, upholding integrity and innovation, focusing on institutional construction, promoting the rule of law, and adopting a systematic approach to address issues. Besides, the importance of the plenum held last month lies not only in highlighting the necessity of comprehensively deepening reform and opening-up in the new era, but also in demonstrating China's determination to overcome difficulties on way to achieving high-quality development.
