Description:

Based on the main spirit of the third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which highlights the theme of “deepening reform and opening up in an all-around way”, the report systematically summarizes the significant achievements China has made in economic and social development. The report points out that, at this decisive stage, China needs on one hand to continue its effort in adjusting its economic structure, keeping the momentum of stable economic growth, tackling the problem of income inequality, and preventing the risk of widening income gap between urban and rural residents. On the other hand, the government also needs to pay more attention to adjusting the current employment structure, improving the social security system, and promoting the equal distribution of public services. Furthermore, it is essential for the government to improve social development quality and people’s well-being, resolve the resistance to social system reform, and emphasize the importance of the modernization of social governance.
