十一届三中全会开始了改革开放的伟大征程。30多年来,由最初的“地方突破,中央立规”的政策驱动型改革,到今天“顶层设计”的法治式改革,实现了改革方式的重大转变。全面推进依法治国是对改革方式变化的保障和推动,体现了党对推动改革的成熟掌控,是新时期执政能力现代化、科学化水平的提升。 The Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee started the great journey of reform and opening up. In the past 30 years or so, from the policy-driven reform of “local breakthroughs and central government regulations” to today’s “top-level design,” the rule of law reform has brought about a major change in the mode of reform. To comprehensively promote the principle of governing the country according to law is the guarantee and promotion of changes in the mode of reform, embodies the party’s mature control over the promotion of reform, and is the modernization and scientifical enhancement of the governing ability in the new era.
