Xi-led reforms picking up speed in new era

Unshakable resolve

During his first inspection tour after the Party congress, to Jiangsu province, Xi issued instructions on the reform of State-owned enterprises, economic restructuring in regions running out of natural resources and rural vitalization.

In the following months, as Xi traveled from Hainan to Hubei to Shandong province, he took the lead in guiding the deepening of reform in all areas to produce new advances.

In mid-November 2017, at its first meeting, the leading group for deepening overall reform of the 19th CPC Central Committee, headed by Xi, set the principles of carrying out reforms and underscored systematic, unified and coordinated action in pushing forward those tasks.

An action plan for 2018-22 was issued, elaborating on who, when and how to carry out the 158 reform measures.
