The Four-Pronged Strategy

The Four-Pronged Strategy

The Four-pronged Strategy was first put forth by Xi Jinping during an inspection tour of Jiangsu Province in December 2014. The strategy calls for completing the process of building a moderately well-off society, pursuing an all-round in-depth reform, implementing a comprehensive framework for promoting the rule of law, and launching an allout effort to enforce strict Party discipline.

These four components of the strategy are mutually reinforcing. The completion of the process of building a moderately well-off society is the overall goal set by the CPC at its 18th National Congress. The pursuit of further reform and the promotion of the rule of law work side by side, like both wings of a bird or the two wheels of a chariot, to propel the country toward smooth realization of the goal. Efforts to strengthen Party discipline serve to ensure progress in all areas. The strategy provides an overall framework for the exercise of governance by China’s new central leadership.

“四个全面”

2014年12月，习近平在江苏省调研时，首次明确提出了“四个全面”战略布局，即全面建成小康社会、全面深化改革、全面依法治国、全面从严治党。这四项工作是紧密联系在一起的：全面建成小康社会是中共十八大提出的总目标，全面深化改革与全面推进依法治国则如鸟之两翼，车之两轮，共同推动全面建成小康社会奋斗目标顺利实现。在这个过程中，全面从严治党则是各项工作顺利推进、各项目标顺利实现的根本保证。“四个全面”战略布局的提出，更完整地展现出中国新一届领导集体治国理政的总体框架。
