Chapter 1. The Construction of China’s State System
Abstract
On November 8, 2012, Hu Jintao issued a report at the 18th National Congress of the C.P.C. in which he emphasized the importance of the road ahead: ‘Forging an onward path is the lifeblood of the Party. It is the future and destiny of the nation, and is crucial to the wellbeing of the people.’

Chapter 2. The Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the C.P.C.—A New Milestone in China’s Reform
Abstract
First, the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the C.P.C. was a milestone in China’s reform. Reform and Opening lasted 35 years in China. The Third Plenary Session became an important symbol of staged reform, reflecting the development and historical logic of Chinese reform itself. Xi Jinping said that since Reform and Opening, all topics discussed, all decisions made, all measures taken, and all signals released in previous third plenary sessions are the basis for judging the administrative policy and focus of the new leading group. They are great significant to completing the work of the next five or even 10 years.

Chapter 3. Modernization of State Governance
Abstract
On February 17, 2014, Xi Jinping delivered a speech (hereinafter referred to as the Speech) at the opening ceremony of a seminar at which provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres discussed the deepening of reform laid out in the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the C.P.C.

Chapter 4. The Relationship Between the Government and the Market
Abstract
The Decision of the Central Committee of the C.P.C. on Comprehensively Deepening Reform of Several Major Issues (hereinafter referred to as the Decision) made at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the C.P.C. put forward a series of major theoretical perspectives and practical guidelines for deepening economic reform, based around the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources. This augured a new era in China’s economic reform. Economic reform formed the basis of wider reforms.

Chapter 5. The Relationship Between the State-Owned and Private Economies
Abstract
After the founding of New China, it was necessary to find an economic model that truly conformed to the basic national conditions and adapted to the various development stages. The relationship between the public ownership economy and the other economies had to be set. After 60 years of practice and repeated trial and error, a basic socialist economic system was created, with public ownership at the helm and diverse forms of ownership developing side by side. China’s basic economic system is unique in the world, and is a major string to the Party’s bow. Its advantages lie in giving full play to the respective advantages of diverse forms of ownership, and in fully mobilizing the creativity of each aspect. It is the world’s most dynamic and competitive economic system by far, but it has not been plain sailing.

Chapter 6. Central-Local Relations
Abstract
As a huge country with a high population, a vast territory and imbalanced economic development across various regions, China has both the advantages and disadvantages of all large nations, particularly in terms of politics. This means that a careful balance between central and local relations is critical, especially under the governance of a single party. China deals with central-local relations using two initiatives, having learned that one initiative leads to improper handling. Mao Zedong believed that a combination of central and local initiatives was the key to success. In essence, this refers to the formation of a mechanism for incentive compatibility, through which each initiative can play its proper role, and national strength can be united to focus on state affairs.

Chapter 7. Governance of China and the U.S.A.—A Comparison and Analysis
Abstract
Against a backdrop of economic globalization, national competition is essentially a case of governing capacity, focused on national institutions. The general rule is that no progress or slow progress means regression. This can be called a ‘simple truth’, which Chinese leaders have grasped when faced with the issue of global competition. The Report to the 16th C.P.C. National Congress in 2002 highlighted the fact that no progress means regression.
