Leading Group's focus is to deepen reform

The Central Leading Group for Deepening Overall Reform, which turns 4 in December, has built an effective framework to tackle deep-seated problems and clear the way for greater development of China.

Headed by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the group was established on Dec 30, 2013. Since then it has convened 38 meetings and approved more than 300 documents to achieve remarkable progress, observers said.

The group's efforts have boosted global confidence in China's lasting, robust growth as it works toward coordinating various departments, removing institutional barriers, reinforcing policy implementation and the Party's supervision over the reform process, experts and diplomats said.
