In the People’s National Congress (PNC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), both President Hu Jingtao and Primer Minister Wen Jiabao emphasize that China will be determined the orientation of the reform and further strengthen the decision and belief of the reform; unalterably advance the reform and opening……though there are many troubles in the reform, we can not suspend the reform because there is no way out for us to go back into the past. The reform in China has been carried out for 27 years; the Chinese leaders still highly declare the decision of the reform, which obviously embody a great signification.
From the public opinion, the top leaders respond the three debates on the reform through the words of Without waver and Unalterably? In the declaration. Since the economists Lang Xianping and Gu Chujun debated on the property right of the sate-owned enterprise in 2004, the argument on the marketization reform has spread from one and another fields, and now it is the argument on the basic orientation and path (method) of the reform, even is whether we need to insist the reform. What more, the discussion is beyond the economic world and all classes in China are involved by the Internet. As saying from the most celebrate economist, Wu Jinglian said that this debate had entered the third stage after the last two in the middle of the eighties and the early of the nineties of the twentieth century.
Now, the national argument is still going on, the second report of Gong Xiantian and the article Rational Reflection on Reform in China written by Zhang Weiying all bring a new debate.
