习近平主持召开中央全面深化改革委员会第二十七次会议 [Xi Jinping presided over the 27th meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform]

 


 

One ought to expect an increasing flow of critical policy papers from meetings leading up ti the next Chinese Communist Party Congress.  I have considered a profoundly key element--the elaboration of  whole process democracy (全过程民主) as the socialist approach to democratic legitimacy (Linking People to Governing Institutions Through Leninist Political Parties: 全过程民主 (Whole Process Democracy), Socialist Consultative Democracy, and 《中国新型政党制度》 (China's New Political Party System)).  

An equally important element of Chinese socialist reform--and the development of a conceptual autonomy for a Leninist approach to governance--touches on the conceptual development of Chinese Marxist Market ideology. That project focuses on the development of a maturing theorization of markets-based economic organization that is both coordinated through state organs and directed toward public policy objectives, one undertaken since the time of the Era of Reform and Opening Up (see my discussion in "Central Planning versus Markets Marxism," (2016) 32 Conn. J. Int'l L. 1).  The Leninist market is one in which markets decision making is guided by the political vanguard in the  service of its Basic Line as it changes through the stages of historical development of the state.  

At the time no one was playing attention in the liberal democratic West whose elites were at the time convinced that this Chinese Leninist project was a passing phase in China's relentless march toward liberal democracy.  

People are paying attention now.

What was already understood in the theory of Markets Marxism almost a decade ago by anyone paying attention is now bearing frt in ways that may challenge the strategic interests of liberal democratic systems. 

President Xi Jinping on Tuesday stressed improving a new system for mobilizing the resources nationwide to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields and comprehensively strengthening efforts to conserve resources.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks while presiding over the 27th meeting of the Central Commission for Comprehensively Deepening Reform.

At the meeting, the commission reviewed and adopted the guideline on improving a new system for mobilizing the resources nationwide to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields under the socialist market economy, the guideline on deepening reforms of the academician system, the guideline on strengthening resource conservation, the guideline on deepening the pilot of the marketization of rural collective land designated for business-related construction, and the guideline on deepening reform to promote the healthy development of the rural medical and health care system.

Xi, also head of the commission, said the country should leverage the marked advantages of socialism which has the ability to mobilize resources to accomplish major initiatives, strengthen the leadership of the CPC and the government on major scientific and technological innovation, and give full play to the role of the market.

China should optimize the allocation of innovation resources based on the country's strategic needs, strengthen the country's strategic scientific and technological strength, greatly improve the systematic ability to tackle key scientific and technological problems, and cultivate competitive advantages and seize the strategic initiative in a number of important areas, Xi said. (Xi stresses improving system for achieving breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields).

 The announcement represents  an effort at a comprehensive application of the principles of Markets Marxism, where markets are understood as an instrument of state policy--and economic activity is a means to political objectives in line with the normative goals of Marxism--the eventual establishment of a communist society.  That, in a sense explains the movement from the principal contradiction of Reform and Opening Up (socialist modernization) to that of the New Era (more equitable distribution; the "contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life").

  • the guideline on improving a new system for mobilizing the resources nationwide to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields under the socialist market economy

  • the guideline on deepening reforms of the academician system

  • the guideline on strengthening resource conservation

  • the guideline on deepening the pilot of the marketization of rural collective land designated for business-related construction

  • the guideline on deepening reform to promote the healthy development of the rural medical and health care system (Tracking People's Daily)

Note the focus of coordination: technology, academic institutions, sustainability, land collectivization (a sensitive topic), and rural healthcare. These are key areas not merely for the implementation of self-sustaining (self-reflexive really) markets Marxism, but also for the establishment of a self sufficient and detached economic system, one insulated from the global markets into which China will continue to project power--and to consolidate along its Silk Roads--but also one which will not threaten internal markets and its development forces. For an interesting commentary on the challenges of dual circulation policies  see here.    A more detailed summary follows in the original Chinese. One can expect that the final version of this project will make it way into Xi Jinping's Report to the 20th Party Congress in October.

Li Keqiang, Wang Huning and Han Zheng, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and deputy directors of the Central Comprehensive Deepening Reform Commission, attended the meeting.

The meeting pointed out that in order to improve the new nationwide system for tackling key and core technologies, it is necessary to organically combine the government, the market, and society, scientifically plan, concentrate, optimize the mechanism, and coordinate tackling problems. It is necessary to strengthen strategic planning and system layout, adhere to the orientation of national strategic goals, target several key areas and major tasks related to my country's industry, economy and national security, clarify the main direction of attack and breakthroughs in core technologies, and focus on research and development of key technologies with first-mover advantages and The basic cutting-edge technology that leads the future development. It is necessary to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee and establish an authoritative decision-making command system. It is necessary to build an organizational operation mechanism for collaborative research, efficiently allocate scientific and technological strength and innovation resources, strengthen cross-field and interdisciplinary collaborative research, and form a strong synergy for key and core technology research. It is necessary to promote the better combination of effective market and promising government, strengthen the main position of enterprises in technological innovation, accelerate the transformation of government's scientific and technological management functions, create a good innovation ecology, and stimulate the vitality of innovation subjects.

The meeting emphasized that an academician is the highest honorary title in my country's science and technology and engineering science and technology fields, and that academicians of the two academies are an important force in promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have promoted the improvement of the selection and evaluation mechanism of academicians, optimized the layout of disciplines, implemented the retirement and withdrawal system, and strengthened the construction of academic style and work style, and the academician system has been continuously improved. It is necessary to pay attention to the selection of academicians in major scientific research and major national projects, and take the major contributions, academic level, and ethics as the yardstick to prevent the unhealthy trend of co-selection. It is necessary to strengthen guidance and norms, encourage and support academicians to concentrate on scientific research work, strengthen the construction of work style and study style, and eliminate the interference of non-academic factors. It is necessary to strictly supervise and manage, strengthen the responsibilities of academicians in scientific research ethics and academic norms, and create a good academic and scientific research environment. The majority of academicians should improve their political positions, enhance their sense of responsibility, and play an exemplary role in taking the initiative to undertake national urgent and dangerous scientific research tasks, solve major original scientific problems, lead by example to purify the academic environment, and cultivate young scientific research talents.

The meeting pointed out that saving resources is my country's basic national policy, and it is a major task to maintain national resource security, promote the construction of ecological civilization, and promote high-quality development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have deployed and implemented a comprehensive conservation strategy, greatly reduced the intensity of energy, water, and land use, vigorously developed a circular economy, advocated strict conservation and opposed waste in the whole society, and promoted the economical, intensive and efficient use of resources, and achieved positive results. It is necessary to focus on resource conservation in key areas such as energy, industry, construction, and transportation, give play to the supporting role of scientific and technological innovation, and promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in the production field. It is necessary to enhance the national awareness of saving, promote a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, oppose extravagance, waste and excessive consumption, and strive to create a strong atmosphere for the whole people to advocate saving. It is necessary to make good use of market-oriented and legalized means, accelerate the establishment of a resource price formation mechanism that reflects the degree of resource scarcity, ecological damage costs, and environmental pollution costs, and continuously improve and gradually improve the energy consumption, water consumption, and material consumption standards of key industries and products. , to promote the scientific allocation of resources and the economical and efficient use of resources. To properly handle the relationship between utilization and conservation, development and protection, overall and partial, short-term and long-term, we must adhere to bottom-line thinking, strictly supervise and manage, prevent and resolve major resource risks, and consider the practical needs of economic and social development.

The meeting emphasized that the promotion of the reform of rural collective commercial construction land into the market is related to the vital interests of farmers and involves major adjustments to the interests of all parties, which must be carried out prudently and prudently. The number of pilot counties (cities, districts) should be kept under control. It is necessary to adhere to the same rights and responsibilities for the same land, and under the premise of compliance with planning, use control and legal acquisition, promote rural collectively-owned construction land and state-owned construction land to enter the market with the same rights and prices, and trade in the unified urban and rural construction land market. The same rules apply and are subject to market supervision. It is necessary to adhere to the economical and intensive use of land, insist on planning before construction, and rationally distribute land for various purposes. It is necessary to strictly abide by the fact that the nature of public ownership of land will not change, the red line of cultivated land will not be broken, and the interests of farmers will not be damaged.

The meeting pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to and strengthened the construction of the rural medical and health system, and has taken a series of measures in terms of improving infrastructure conditions, personnel team building, and institutional operation mechanisms to continuously improve the capacity of rural medical and health services. The peasants have basically achieved equal access to basic medical and health services. It is necessary to focus on strengthening the overall planning and layout optimization of medical and health resources within the county, and rationally allocate rural medical resources. It is necessary to strengthen the training and introduction of talents, coordinate and solve the problem of salary distribution and treatment guarantee for rural doctors, and build a professional and standardized team of rural doctors. It is necessary to improve the level of medical security in rural areas, strengthen the functions of the rural medical and health service system, strengthen the construction of disease prevention and control capabilities, and accelerate the construction of a strong public health system to provide a strong guarantee for maintaining people's health.
