Comprehensively Expanding In-Depth Reform
The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC National Congress which met on Nov. 9-12, 2013, reviewed and passed the "Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Certain Major Issues Regarding the Expansion of In-Depth Reform". The document presented a master plan and a call to action, and outlined its timetable and roadmap through the year 2020.
The general goals of expanding in-depth reform are to refine and develop the institutions of Chinese socialism, and to modernize the nation's governance system and governance capabilities. Comprehensively expanding in-depth reform does not just mean promoting reform in a single sector, nor does it just mean promoting reform in multiple sectors. It involves reform in all sectors, including the economy, politics, culture, society, the environment, defense and the military, and external opening-up. It is a task not only for this phase of development, but one which must be carried on from one generation to the next.
Reform and opening up are always ongoing and will never end. The comprehensive expansion of in-depth reform requires the courage to tackle the hardest tasks and address the most challenging issues. It requires working hard to improve institutions which allow the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation and enable the government to play a more effective role, while always keeping the focus on economic reform. The basic aim of this expansion is to promote social justice and fairness so that the achievements of reform and development can benefit all the people more equitably and give them a greater sense of having benefited.
全面深化改革
2013年11月9日至12日召開的中共十八屆三中全會審議通過的《中共中央關于全面深化改革若干重大問題的決定》，對全面深化改革作出總部署、總動員，勾畫了到2020年全面深化改革的時間表、路線圖。全面深化改革的總目標是：完善和發展中國特色社會主義制度，推進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化。全面深化改革不是推進一個領域改革，也不是推進幾個領域改革，而是涉及經濟、政治、文化、社會、生態文明、國防和軍隊以及對外開放等所有領域改革；它不是單靠某一個或某幾個部門，而是需要協調各方；它不是階段性任務，而是需要一代又一代人接力干下去。改革開放只有進行時沒有完成時。全面深化改革要敢于啃硬骨頭，敢于涉險灘。全面深化改革，要堅持以經濟體制改革為重點，著力健全使市場在資源配置中起決定性作用和更好發揮政府作用的制度體系。推進全面深化改革的根本目的，就是要促進社會公平正義，讓改革發展成果更多更公平惠及全體人民，讓人民群眾有更多獲得感。
