China's new president has stressed the importance for deepened reforms and strengthening the anti-corruption campaign. Xi Jinping made the remarks at the closing ceremony of the National People's Congress. This session is being hailed for the clarification of goals and reinforcement of confidence. Lawmakers approved a number of important documents, including the government’s work report, central budget and the government restructuring plan.
A \some 3,000 lawmakers, President Xi stated the determination of the new leadership for greater reforms.
Xi Jinping, Chinese President, said, “We should stick to the strategic thinking of putting development as our core principle. Deepening reforms and opening up, so as to enhance the basis for realizing the Chinese dream of rejuvenation.”
This NPC session has accomplished the leadership change. It has also approved the new line ups for the State Council and government ministries. Key is the government’s Restructuring Plan, which reduces administrative intervention in the market. It’s regarded as the prelude of actual reforms to take place to break monopolies and introduce fair competition.
Zheng Yongkou, NPC Deputy, Henan, said, “The essence of the plan is solving overlapping functions. The key is not simply to reduce the number of ministries, but to have their duties be more clarified.” Maintaining sustained growth is still the top priority. China is stressing a change in growth model. Emphasis is on technological innovations, domestic spending, and financial liberalization.
Lin Yifu, CPPCC Member, said, “China has all the necessary factors to maintain the eight percent growth, because it’s a median income country, China has good investment opportunities in industrial upgrading, in urbanization, in improving the environment. Those kinds of investment can generate high return.”
Solving social disparity is another test -- reducing the income gap, giving farmers equal rights through urbanization, improving welfare benefits for the poor, and cleaning up the environment. Taxation and income distribution have been targeted for reform.

Zheng Gongcheng, CPPCC Member, said, “The income distribution reform will be the most challenging and complicated one, as it touches the core interests of all people. This means real adjustments for the current interest groups.”
In the fight against corruption, the biggest challenge comes from the Party itself. Deputies say effective prevention is more needed than punishment. Proposals include the declaration of officials’ incomes, greater transparency in policy making, and strengthened supervision. Rita Fan Hsu Lai-Tai, NPC Deputy, Hong Kong, said, “We should insist on improving the systems, removing all the loopholes that allow opportunity for corruption, simplifying the procedures so that opportunities for abuse of power by officials are reduced.”
As the two-week political season wrapped up, the new top legislator, Zhang Dejiang, promised that the NPC will continue to provide legal support for the reforms.
The overall reform plans have not been mapped out. But expectations are high among the lawmakers and ordinary Chinese to see the real implementation of the policies. The NPC deputies will gather at the same season next year to review the progress report of the new leadership.
This year’s NPC session holds special significance--and not only for the leadership transition. It’s also sent out a strong message of
deepened reforms that could profoundly transform China in the near future. The statements and policies give a general idea of what the new leadership hopes to accomplish, maintaining economic growth, solving various social problems to meet public expectations, and a moderately prosperous life for all Chinese. No one is more aware than the new leaders of just how daunting the challenges are.
