Could you elaborate on the new requirements outlined in the resolution that was adopted at the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee regarding law-based governance on all fronts? What measures will the MOJ take next to fulfill these new requirements? Thank you.
Wang Zhenjiang:
I'll answer this question. Thank you for your inquiry. The MOJ's leading Party members group considers studying and implementing the guiding principles of the plenary session to be a major political task at present and for some time to come. The group immediately held meetings for Party leaders as well as for all members of the Party, organized group study sessions for senior officials, communicated and studied the guiding principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important remarks and the plenary session, and took concrete steps to implement various legal reform tasks.
The third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made a series of major theoretical innovations in law-based governance on all fronts, deployed significant reform measures, further enriched and developed Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, and expanded the scope of building a socialist country under the rule of law. This is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, it was stated that "the rule of law provides an important guarantee for Chinese modernization," and "we must deepen reform and advance Chinese modernization under the rule of law." This profoundly illustrates the important status and role of the rule of law in Chinese modernization.
Second, "refining the system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics" and "moving to a higher stage in building a socialist country under the rule of law" have been incorporated into the overall objectives of further deepening reform comprehensively. This ensures coordination between the general goal of comprehensively promoting law-based governance and the strategic plans for deepening reform comprehensively.
Third, staying committed to law-based governance on all fronts has been established as one of the six guiding principles for further deepening reform comprehensively. This highlights the unity of reform and the rule of law, ensuring that all major reforms have a solid legal basis. It further demonstrates a clear direction of deepening reforms per the rule of law.
Fourth, each section of the resolution addresses the advancement of the rule of law, integrating it into institutional reforms across all areas. It further refines and solidifies the decisions and plans of the 20th CPC National Congress to see that all the state's work is carried out under the rule of law.
Fifth, it includes a dedicated section on promoting socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, proposing major reform measures in five areas. This aims to remove institutional barriers that restrict and affect comprehensive law-based governance.
For the MOJ, the reform tasks in the field of the rule of law outlined by the plenary session are both important assignments and significant missions. We will focus on promoting high-quality development, more consciously planning for and advancing judicial administration in the broader context of Chinese modernization and ensuring implementation with unwavering determination. In particular, we will do an excellent job in performing the duties of the Office of the Commission for Overall Law-Based Governance of the CPC Central Committee, which is set up within the MOJ. We'll coordinate reforms across legislation, law enforcement, administration of justice, observance of the law and rule of law in foreign-related affairs. This will achieve systematic integration and efficient coordination of reforms in the field of the rule of law.
That's all I have to say. Thank you.
