Xi Jinping said the Party has worked to speed up the development of a socialist market economy,
democracy, cultural development, social harmony and environmental protection. The reform guidelines affirm the work accomplished by the Party's political bureau since last year's 18th CPC National Congress.

Faced with a complicated global environment, and pressures for domestic reforms and a more efficient development path, the party's political bureau has upheld the spirit of the 18th CPC national congress, leading the Chinese people in successfully constructing a socialist economy. The bureau has also been striving to ensure that the Chinese people enjoy the fruits of development.

A statement by Xi Jinping also highly values the success of the "reform and opening-up" policy, which was first introduced at the 3rd plenum of the 11th CPC Central Committee back in 1978. After analysing major issues surrounding the need to deepen reforms, the statement affirms that "reform and opening-up" has been a successful revolution led by the CPC in the new era. It also adds that "reform and opening up" will decide the destiny of modern China, and will be key to ensuring the country adapts to a rapidily changing world.

The statement concludes with the need to deepen reforms in order to build a moderately prosperous society, and a strong and democratic country, as well as realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.

The session says the overall goals of comprehensively deepening reforms are to develop and improve socialism with Chinese characteristics, and to promote the modernization of the system and ability in managing the nation. Systematic and coordination of reforms are required to quicken the development of the socialist market economy, democratic politics, advanced culture, social harmony and ecological civilization. The country will let labor, knowledge, technology, management and capital unleash their dynamism, let all sources of wealth spread and let all people enjoy more fruits of development in an equitable manner.
