Editor's note: China's reform program is about to start a major new phase, and this is an event which is commanding worldwide attention. The third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee has just reached its conclusion - what kind of a new reform blueprint has been produced? On Tuesday, People's Daily Online invited Zhang Liqun, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council, and Xu Yaotong, professor of political science with the Chinese Academy of Governance, to explain the communiqué issued after the meeting.

A central leading team for "comprehensively strengthening reform", from top-level design to implementation

Communiqué: A central leading team for "comprehensively strengthening reform" will be set up to take charge of designing reform, and to coordinate and implement relevant measures.

In the past we talked about 'crossing the river by feeling for the stones', but now we need to add a top-level design, which means overall planning that takes all relevant factors into consideration, and enhanced coordination. With the strengthening of reform, associated contradictions have become apparent. To resolve complex issues and promote reform in a coordinated manner, the time is right for the creation of a central leading team for "comprehensively strengthening reform".

The team will be an organization in charge of implementing reform tasks and achieving reform targets.
