The important article "Several Major Theoretical and Practical Issues in Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform" by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the People's Republic of China and Chairperson of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China, will be published in the second issue of Qiushi Journal on January 16.

The article emphasizes that the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China launched a new journey of comprehensively deepening reform and promoting reform in a systematic and holistic manner in the new era, opening up a new chapter in China's reform and opening up and being of epoch-making significance. Comprehensively deepening reform in the new era has achieved major practical, institutional and theoretical results. It is one of the most magnificent chapters in the historical process of China's reform and opening up, providing a strong impetus and institutional guarantee for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and continuing to create "two miracles", and also laying a solid foundation and providing valuable experience for further comprehensively deepening reform on the new journey.

The article points out that upholding integrity and innovation is a major principle that must be firmly grasped and adhered to in further comprehensively deepening reform. Integrity and innovation are dialectically unified. Only by upholding integrity can we ensure that innovation always moves in the right direction, and only by continuous innovation can we better uphold integrity. Our reform has direction and principles. We should adhere to the Party's overall leadership, adhere to Marxism, adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the people's democratic dictatorship, and take promoting social fairness and justice and enhancing people's well-being as the starting point and goal. These are fundamental, directional and long-term, reflecting the Party's nature and purpose, conforming to China's national conditions and the fundamental interests of the people. There should be no wavering at any time or under any circumstances. We should adhere to the general reform goal of improving and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and always move in the direction guided by the general goal. We should resolutely reform what should be reformed and refrain from reforming what should not be reformed. We should have the courage and boldness to vigorously promote theoretical, practical, institutional, cultural and other aspects of innovation, providing a strong impetus and institutional guarantee for Chinese modernization. We should highlight the focus on economic system reform, adhere to the reform direction of the socialist market economy, adhere to and implement the "two unswerving", resolutely break down the institutional and mechanism obstacles that affect and restrict high-quality development, and resolutely remove the bottlenecks that affect and restrict all-round innovation. The connotation of Chinese modernization is very rich, and further comprehensively deepening reform must be all-round. We should comprehensively and coordinately promote all aspects of reform and strive to achieve overall effectiveness.

The article points out that we should adhere to guiding and promoting reform with scientific methods. Reform is a systematic project that requires handling various relationships and paying attention to scientific methods. First, adhere to the unity of reform and the rule of law. We should further deepen the reform in the field of the rule of law, further expand the space for the rule of law to play its role, be good at using the thinking and methods of the rule of law to promote reform, and adhere to the equality of all before the law. Second, adhere to the dialectical unity of breaking and establishing. Reform is a process of breaking the old and establishing the new. Breaking is a means and establishing is the goal. We should adhere to system construction as the main line, and more importantly, highlight the combination of breaking and establishing, establishing before breaking, and achieve steady and rapid reform in the unity of breaking and establishing. Third, adhere to the unity of reform and opening up. We should steadily expand institutional opening up and implement the strategy of upgrading free trade pilot zones. Fourth, handle the relationship between deployment and implementation well. In the design of reform plans, we must grasp the objective laws, pay attention to the coordination and matching of various reform measures, and enhance the consistency of reform orientation. We should establish and improve a working mechanism with clear responsibilities, a complete chain and closely linked links, prevent phenomena such as emphasizing document formulation and neglecting supervision and implementation, and prevent "sand and flowing water that do not reach the end". Leading cadres, especially senior cadres, should have the political courage to overcome difficulties and face challenges head-on, face up to contradictions and problems without evasion, eradicate stubborn problems without ambiguity, and not flinch in the face of risks and challenges, and strive to open up a new world of reform and development.

The article points out that it is necessary to create a good atmosphere for further comprehensively deepening reform. It is very important to widely build consensus and fully mobilize all positive factors for the smooth progress of reform. We should correctly understand and interpret the spirit of the Decision of the plenary session and consolidate the ideological and mass foundation for the whole Party and the whole society to jointly promote reform. Reasonably guide the reform expectations, guide cadres and the masses to correctly treat the adjustment of interest relations and personal gains and losses in the reform; adhere to the people-oriented principle and evaluate the reform by actual achievements and the satisfaction of the people. We should grasp the correct direction of public opinion and form a joint force of public opinion.（Outlook New Era）
