Abstract:

The “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization” reviewed and adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee states that “Chinese-style modernization has been continuously promoted in the course of reform and opening up, and will open up broad prospects in the course of reform and opening up.” The important guarantee for Chinese-style modernization is a high-level, socialist market economy. The essential requirement is to develop people’s democracy throughout the whole process. Chinese-style modernization is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, which entails a modernization of the harmony of material and spiritual civilization. Further deepening a well-rounded reform involves economic, political, ecological, and cultural fields. The development of the private economy and the expansion of private enterprises are of great significance to the construction of a high-level socialist market economic system. Over the next five years, the important tasks of developing the private economy and expanding private enterprises have five aspects: 1) market access and fair participation in market competition; 2) equal access to the factors of production; 3) equal legal protection; 4) an improved social credit system; and, 5) an improved corporate governance system. The basic process of constructing a modern Chinese-style, social governance system is to lead through party building that empowers the pluralistic and integrated social cooperation governance structure; to activate the governance mechanism of co-construction, co-governance, and sharing within the whole process of grassroots democracy; and, to enhance the overall effectiveness of social governance with the integration of multiple governance mechanisms. In the framework system of deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system, the basic system of ecological civilization is the “foundation”, the ecological environment governance system is one “pillar”, and the green and low-carbon development mechanism is the other “pillar”. The guarantee mechanism of deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system requires cooperation, compatible incentives, and supervision and inspection. The establishment and improvement of the system, including assessment and evaluation standards, must put social benefits first, but realize the unification of social benefits and economic benefits such that there is a link between the social responsibility of state-owned cultural enterprises and their performance assessments. In other words, the “soft indicators” of social benefits should eventually become “hard indicators”.This is conducive to the real implementation of the principle of unifying the two benefits by giving play to the guiding role of the “baton” in creating a harmonious society.

Key words: comprehensively deepen reform, China-style modernization, private economy, ecological civilization system, ecological civilization system, state-owned cultural enterprise
