'Purpose, urgency' to reform

New report says Third Plenum blueprint to help China become advanced nation

A year after China's Third Plenum reforms were announced, Beijing has shown that it is "moving ahead across all economic dimensions with purpose and urgency", says a new report released by the Asia Society on Wednesday.

The Asia Society Policy Institute, the group's new think tank, called the Third Plenum economic reforms "game changing - far more than a minor adjustment of business as usual or an attempt to stall for time".
