Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, chaired a significant symposium on May 20 to gather perspectives from non-CPC personages regarding the drafting of a resolution aimed at deepening reforms to advance Chinese modernization. This key resolution was adopted during the recent third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.
The symposium brought together leaders from the central committees of non-CPC parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and various individuals without party affiliations. This inclusive approach highlights the CPC Central Committee's commitment to incorporating diverse insights into its reform strategies.
At the event, Xi emphasized the importance of systematic planning and robust institutional frameworks to achieve the Second Centenary Goal of transforming China into a great modern socialist country by the mid-21st century. Reflecting on the accomplishments of the First Centenary Goal realized in 2021, Xi outlined the ongoing efforts to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, and harmonious nation.
Participants at the symposium addressed critical areas such as stimulating economic vitality, reforming the medical and healthcare systems, advancing high-standard opening up, and promoting integrated development across the Taiwan Strait. These discussions are pivotal in identifying and overcoming institutional obstacles that hinder progress towards modernization.
Xi reiterated the CPC Central Committee's tradition of seeking broad opinions from all sectors when addressing major issues. He urged the removal of deep-seated institutional and structural problems, with a particular focus on economic structural reform. Highlighting the need for collective effort, Xi called for the full mobilization of the party and the nation's enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity to ensure the effective implementation of reforms.
Prominent members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, including Wang Huning, Cai Qi, and Ding Xuexiang, were present at the symposium, underscoring the high-level dedication to these reform initiatives.
As China progresses towards its Second Centenary Goal, such symposiums play a crucial role in shaping policies that drive sustainable development and long-term prosperity, ensuring that reforms are both rational and effectively implemented.
