Reform resolve is unshakable

The comprehensive and deepened reforms advanced by top leader Xi Jinping and his colleagues over the past two years are aimed at serving the country's comprehensive, fundamental and long-term interests and their implementation will be helpful to the Party, the people and long-term national prosperity and stability, says a People's Daily editorial.

Xi and his colleagues have pointed out a clear direction and path for a new round of reforms aimed at promoting the improvement of China's socialist system and pushing for the modernization of its governance system and capability. The 108 reform tasks and 370 reform measures completed in 2014 made it a "Year of Reform".

As a systematic project, the strategic layout for comprehensive and deepened reforms China's new leadership has mapped out for reform and opening-up should be advanced in a comprehensive manner and various measures taken in a coordinated way. Only in this way can a subtle balance be struck between short-term and long-term interests, coordination be achieved among various interests and obstructions be overcome.
