"FIFTH MODERNIZATION"
On Nov. 15, 2017, Xi met the press right after being elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee. He spoke of the need to adhere to reform and opening-up to continue liberating social productive forces, resolve people's difficulties in life and work and stay committed to the path of common prosperity.
At the moment, Xi's resolve to carry on the reform could not be more obvious. But Xi knew how hard it would be. All low-lying fruits have been picked, what is left are hard bones, he said.
People following Xi in his reforms need to be brave enough to cross hurdles in thinking and break through the blockade of vested interest.
Xi came to Guangdong in his first domestic inspection tour after assuming the Party's top post. It was not by coincidence that in 1992 Deng visited Guangdong in his now well-known "southern tour." Deng's talks during the tour were instrumental in advancing the reform and opening-up.
In his 2017 visit, Xi paid tribute to Deng's bronze statue. "Reform and opening-up is a make-or-break move that decides China's destiny," Xi said. "There is no pause or backtrack."
The Financial Times said, "Mr. Xi is hardly the first Chinese leader to talk about the need for reform. But the tone of the pronouncements emerging from his weekend trip has been more forceful than those employed by past leaders."
For Xi, reform must be carried on along the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Neither the old path nor the detour could work.
