'Four Comprehensives' a road to prosperity

Top leader Xi Jinping's strategy for governing China and charting its development is known as the "Four Comprehensives", which comprise comprehensively building an overall moderately well-off society, comprehensively deepening reform, comprehensively governing the country in accordance with the law, and comprehensively supervising the Communist Party of China. The strategy represents the basic direction of building a modern socialist society.

Comprehensively building an overall well-off society is the key goal of China's modernization process, which is aimed at solving people's livelihood problems. At the launch of reform and opening-up in 1978, Deng Xiaoping emphasized the importance of raising people's living standards.

Thanks to the reform and opening-up, China has succeeded in the primary stage of building a moderately well-off society by the beginning of this century. Now its goal is to comprehensively build an overall moderately prosperous society by 2020.
