Reform Tasks Defined Around Eight Aspects

Further comprehensive reform is an ongoing journey. In the depths of winter, visiting the urban and rural areas of Yingshan, the cranes waving their arms convey the confidence of development; projects landing one after another stimulate the vitality of the economy; and the vast fields depict a new picture of rural revitalization... Everywhere, one can feel the tremendous changes that reform has brought to Yingshan.

It has fully completed the reform of county - level institutions, steadily promoted the reform and improvement of state - owned enterprises, accelerated three provincial - level reform pilots, and seven reform experiences have been promoted at the provincial and municipal levels.

Facing the complex situation and heavy tasks of further comprehensive reform, the plenary session focuses on key points and exerts precise efforts, clarifying reform tasks in eight aspects such as the reform of economic construction system and mechanism, the reform of science, education, and talent system and mechanism, and the reform of democratic and legal system and mechanism.

The "reform of economic construction system and mechanism" is placed at the top of the list, proposing to optimize the mechanism for promoting a strong manufacturing county, improve the mechanism of "Party and government leaders taking charge of industry and the county head directly managing industry", build a support and cultivation mechanism for the whole chain of large, medium and small enterprises, and accelerate the construction of an important supporting base for manufacturing in the Chengdu - Chongqing region.

Optimize the mechanism for the market - oriented allocation of factors. Deepen the reform of finance and taxation, strictly implement the budget management system, and implement the reform of tax collection and management. Improve the system and mechanism for high - level opening up to the outside world.

Cities are the focus, and rural areas are the foundation. In terms of the reform of urban and rural integrated development system and mechanism, it is necessary to improve the system and mechanism for promoting new - type urbanization, and deepen the reform of urban construction, operation, maintenance, and governance.

At the same time, it is necessary to improve the "temperature" of people's livelihood with the intensity of reform, improve the mechanism for promoting high - quality and full employment, and strengthen the protection of laborers' rights and interests. Improve the social security system, establish a multi - level and classified social assistance system, and increase the construction and supply of affordable housing.

The achievements of reform can only be consolidated and expanded through deepening reform, and the difficulties faced by reform can only be broken through and conquered through deepening reform. Further comprehensive reform should focus on important fields and key links, adhere to the problem - oriented approach to solve prominent problems, and lay a foundation for the long - term development, focusing on breaking through institutional and systemic barriers, and promoting more reform "construction drawings" to be transformed into "real - scene drawings".
