Reflections on Xi's metaphors on governance

5. Two wings of a bird or the two wheels of a cart

Reform and the rule of law are like the two wings of a bird or the two wheels of a cart. We should stick to the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese features, accelerate its construction, and build a socialist country practicing the rule of law.

--Speech at the ceremony marking the 95th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, July 1, 2016

鸟之两翼、车之两轮

改革和法治如鸟之两翼、车之两轮。我们要坚持走中国特色社会主义法治道路，加快构建中国特色社会主义法治体系，建设社会主义法治国家。
