China’s New Reform Blueprint Has Arrived

A few days ago, a cautiously and a little vaguely worded communique caused some questions on Xi government's determination to deepen reforms. However, the specific plan for recasting economy released on Friday has largely reassured people.

The Decision on Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening Reforms promises a handful of potentially significant changes.

几天前,一份措辞含糊的会议公报引发了外界对习近平改革决心的质疑,但中国最高领导层周五公布了一项重塑经济的详细计划,在很大程度上打消了人们的一些疑虑。

周五公布的这份长达20页的文件相当于一项改革蓝图。中国领导人在文件中承诺将放开金融行业、放宽其他一些行业的外资准入限制、让市场决定资源价格并赋予农民更多财产权利。

China’s new leadership has released its first major reform blueprint.

The document said China would significantly ease its one-child policy, allowing couples to have two children if one of the parents is an only child. Currently, Chinese couples are restricted to one child except under some circumstances, such as rural dwellers, pilot programs in a number of areas and among ethnic minorities.

China also plans to abolish a controversial labor camp system in what Xinhua described as “part of efforts to improve human rights and judicial practices.” Under the system, which has been in place since 1957, police are allowed to imprison people in labor camps for up to four years without formal arrest or trial.

Other proposed reforms include a system for insuring bank deposits, an increase in the amount of profits state-owned companies pay the government and an increased emphasis on environmental protection in the evaluation of officials.

As with all Chinese government policies, the devil will be in the implementation.

Does the Communique of Third Plenum of CPC Satisfy Expectation

Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China runs from Nov 9 to 12 in Beijing. It is the third such meeting since Mr Xi came to power; because the first two plenums of a party chief’s term are given over largely to housekeeping matters, including party and government appointments, third plenums are the ones to watch.



The closed-door, four-day conclave of some 370 senior party leaders as usual sums up its decisions in a gnomic communiqué full of ambiguities. Yet a parsing of the document suggests President Xi Jinping (pictured above, centre) is tightening his grip on power, and with it his ability to achieve breakthroughs in economic and social reforms.

China’s state-controlled media have hailed the meeting, known as the third plenum of the 18th Central Committee, as “a new historical starting point”. Global Times, an English-language newspaper, said it was just as important as the most famous plenum in the party’s history, which brought Deng Xiaoping to power in 1978 and ushered in profound changes that turned China into the world’s second-largest economy. There is little in the communiqué to back such bullish assertions, but the summary of the proceedings offers hope that the pace of reform will pick up.

Nevertheless, several points in this document are noteworthy and anticipated.
  • For the first time in such a document, the role that markets play in the allocation of resources is positioned as “decisive”. This has been glossed by official media as a step up from previous party language that described the role of market forces as merely “basic”. 
  • It gives more property rights to farmers, and promote the equal exchange of factors of production between urban and rural areas and the balanced allocation of public resource
  • Setting up a leading group for comprehensively deepening the reforms.
  • The first of these is the setting up of a “state-security committee”. Details of this have not been revealed.
  • Deepening financial and military reforms.
  • The other notable change is the establishment of a “leading small group” to supervise reforms. Such groups count.

Happy Single's Day

11.11 (Nov. 11th) is Single's Day every year. This is a day for the single. Yes, the bachelors and bacheloretts. I think it is considered as a day originally for fun. Now more and more people celebrate the day though it is still a informal day. For example shops offer price reduction on this day.
