"To adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must constantly adapt to the development of social productive forces, adjust the relations of production, and constantly adapt to the development of the economic base to improve the superstructure"; "Our proposal to comprehensively deepen reform is to adapt to the changes in the movement of basic social contradictions to promote social development. Basic social contradictions are always developing, so adjusting the relations of production and improving the superstructure need to continue accordingly.".
In General Secretary Xi Jinping's important article "Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Opening up, Continuously Injecting Strong Power into Chinese Modernization", which was recently published in Seeking Truth magazine, the General Secretary, starting from the basic principles of historical materialism, scientifically expounded the profound truth that "reform and opening up can only be carried out when it is not completed".
Chinese style modernization is a great and arduous undertaking. The more arduous it is, the more we need impetus from reform and vitality from opening up. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China regards deepening reform and opening up as a major principle that must be firmly grasped to promote Chinese style modernization, and focuses on comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese style modernization, and makes a major strategic deployment for comprehensively deepening reform in the new era and new journey. On April 30, 2024, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a meeting and decided to hold the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in Beijing in July to focus on further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese style modernization. The meeting used the "six inevitable requirements" to profoundly clarify the great significance of continuing to push forward the reform on the new journey, and required the whole party to consciously put the reform in a more prominent position, and further comprehensively deepen the reform closely around the promotion of Chinese style modernization.
Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary Xi Jinping has made profound statements on the strategic priorities and main directions of further deepening reform and opening up at several important occasions, such as the CPC Central Plenary Session, the meeting of the Central Committee for Deep Reform, the collective learning of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the National Two Sessions, and local inspection. The article "Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Opening up, Continuously Injecting Strong Power into Chinese Modernization" contains these important statements of the General Secretary.
——On deepening the reform of the economic system. The reform of the economic system is the focus of deepening the reform in an all-round way, which has an important impact and conduction on other reforms.

——On promoting high-level opening up. Opening up is also reform. The door of China's opening will not be closed, but will only open wider and wider. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we should "steadily expand the institutional openness of rules, regulations, management, standards and other systems, and promote the joint construction of the" Belt and Road "with high quality"; "We will strengthen institutional openness, continue to build a market-oriented, legalized and internationalized first-class business environment, and create new advantages for a higher level of open economy".
——On highlighting the problem orientation and improving the reform implementation mechanism. Reform is driven by problems and deepened in the process of constantly solving problems. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we should "focus on solving the problems that restrict the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality development, the pain points and difficulties in the field of development environment and people's livelihood, and the focus and hot issues that are contrary to social fairness and justice, effectively prevent and resolve major risks, and continue to add impetus and vitality to economic and social development"; "We should focus on improving the reform implementation mechanism, promote the implementation of reform measures, constantly highlight the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, constantly enhance the power and vitality of socialist modernization, and better transform China's institutional advantages into national governance effectiveness".
"Reform and opening up have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, but still need to cross mountains and rivers". On the new journey, we should unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, fully implement Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, adhere to relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous power of development, and further coordinate the promotion of deep reform and high-level opening up, which will certainly write a new chapter in comprehensively deepening reform and opening up and create a new glory of Chinese style modernization.
