reform and the rule of law have far-reaching implications for national governance
to modernize china's governance system and capacity, we must comprehensively deepen reform. since the eighteenth congress, our party to comprehensively deepen reform system deployment, uphold and improve the basic economic system, to improve the modern market system, accelerate the transformation government function, we will deepen reform of the fiscal and taxation system, improve the system of the integration of urban and rural development mechanism, establish a new system of the open economy, to strengthen the construction of socialist democratic political system, promoting the construction of china's rule of law, etc., to promote the system of socialism with chinese characteristics will be improved, the national management system and management ability obviously improve the modernization level, for the political stability, economic development and cultural prosperity, national unity, people's happiness, social stability, national unity provides a powerful guarantee. based on this, the fourth plenary session of the 19th central committee of the communist party of china (cpc) took "persisting in reform and innovation, keeping pace with the times, being good at self-improvement and self-development, and making society always full of vitality" as one of the significant advantages of china's state system and national governance system.
the rule of law is an important basis for a country's governance system and capacity. the rule of law is the basic strategy for the cpc to lead the people in running the country. since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core has attached great importance to comprehensively advancing the rule of law. it has defined, laid out and enforced the rule of law from a strategic perspective that concerns the long-term stability and stability of the party and the country. the socialist rule of law system with chinese characteristics is essentially the legal expression of the socialist system with chinese characteristics and the backbone project of the national governance system. in the new era, the hard-won stability needs to be safeguarded by the rule of law, and vigorous economic and social development needs to be guaranteed by the rule of law.
reform and rule of law are integrated into the modernization of national governance
marked by the third plenary session of the eleventh central committee of the communist party of china (cpc), china has embarked on a historic process of reform and opening up that bears on the destiny of the country, the people and socialism. during this period, the cpc identified the rule of law as the basic strategy for the party to lead the people in governing the country, and the rule of law as the basic way for the party to govern the country.
reform is the main driving force behind economic and social development. to comprehensively deepen reform, we need to emphasize not only variability, breakthrough and innovation, but also systematicness, wholeness and coordination, which the rule of law can provide. the rule of law is an important means to achieve economic development, political clarity, cultural prosperity, social justice and a sound ecology. it is the essential requirement and important guarantee for upholding and developing the socialist system with chinese characteristics. on the one hand, the great practice of reform and opening up has created an urgent need for law, which has promoted the construction and development of the rule of law. on the other hand, the rule of law has developed along with the process of reform and opening up, and some institutions and mechanisms that do not conform to the rule of law and are not conducive to the rule of law have been constantly reformed and improved in this process.
reform and the rule of law are two main threads in the process of modernization of national governance that are interrelated but not completely coincident. since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china, the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core has incorporated comprehensively deepening reform and comprehensively advancing the rule of law into the "four comprehensives" strategy.
we will promote reform under the rule of law and improve the rule of law through reform
general secretary xi jinping stressed that we should "firmly grasp the direction of reform and opening up. what we change and how we change it must be based on the overall goal of improving and developing the socialist system with chinese characteristics and modernizing the country's governance system and capacity for governance. the rule of law can ensure the clarity, stability and authority of the country's basic institutions, ensure a good social order and predictable social life style, and ensure that all members of society are equal before the law. the experience of reform and opening up shows that reform is not a blind and unplanned change, but a social change guided by basic norms. here the basic norms, the first is the legal norms.
to promote reform under the rule of law, the basic principle is to incorporate the objectives and major measures of reform into the process of the rule of law, ensure that major reforms are supported by law, and reduce the irregularity and arbitrariness of reform. for example, the existing laws should be used to provide an established paradigm for reform and guide reform to be carried out within the scope permitted by law and on the track of the rule of law. in the absence of legal provisions for the introduction of reform measures and policies, we should give priority to legislation, guide reform by legislation, and ensure that legislation and reform are advanced in step. the actual conditions are not yet ripe, but experimental reform measures are needed. we must also adhere to the rule of law framework and the procedures prescribed by law by the subjects with authority. adding elements and elements of rule of law to the reform process will help build consensus on reform.
law must be stable, but it cannot be fixed. the development of rule of law itself contains the relationship between the stability after the enactment of law and the change of law with the development of economy and society. as marx pointed out, "the relations of law, like the forms of the state, cannot be understood either from themselves or from the so-called general development of the human spirit, but rather from the relations of material life." just as sustained and healthy economic and social development requires reform, so does the rule of law. the development of rule of law in china runs through the whole process of reform and opening up and is constantly improved in the process of reform and opening up. improving the rule of law through reform and gaining practical results and basic experience through exploration are the driving forces for the development of the rule of law.
the fourth plenary session of the 19th central committee of the communist party of china (cpc) proposed to improve institutions and mechanisms to ensure the full implementation of the constitution, improve the legislative system and mechanisms, improve the rule of law system to ensure social equity and justice, and strengthen supervision over the implementation of the law. comprehensively deepening reform puts forward a series of new requirements for the rule of law. in the face of the new situation of economic and social development, we need to make legislation and reform decisions consistent and linked, and make legislation meet the needs of reform and economic and social development. we will promptly clean up and revise all laws and regulations that are not in line with the new vision for development, are not conducive to high-quality development, and do not meet the expectations of the socialist market economy and the people. we will promptly institutionalize the mature experience gained in the course of reform, and turn the proven mature reform experience and effective reform measures into laws, regulations and rules, so that the rule of law will develop with the development of reform. in short, only by advancing reform under the rule of law, improving the rule of law in the course of reform, and truly realizing the positive interaction between reform and the rule of law, can we lay a solid foundation for upholding and improving the socialist system with chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of china's governance system and capacity.
