People's Daily: prefer "imperfect" reform to the crisis of no reform

Source: on February 23, 2012, the people's daily preferred micro words to crises (people's view · deepening reform epistemology ①) No matter how elaborate and intelligent the plan is, the reform will always cause some criticism: the vested interests will use the dominant discourse power to hinder the reform, the media public will look at the reform with critical eyes, and some people will even demand the reform with utopian thinking For the reformers, to listen to the public opinion carefully and not to be moved by the rumors requires wisdom and prudence, but also courage and responsibility Since 1978, China's reform has been like a boat to the middle stream, with a broader space for progress, and also faces the challenge of "middle stream hitting the water and waves containing the flying boat" The problems of development, the anxiety of fairness and justice, the worry of path locking On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping's South talk and the upcoming 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, people's general concern for reform marks that the reform led by opening up has entered a new historical orientation for more than 30 years Breaking through the ideological barriers and touching the real interests, the reform challenges the established pattern from the beginning and inevitably accompanies with "different voices" No matter that year's joint production contracting, price breakthrough, wage breakthrough, or today's official property publicity, monopoly industry reform, public institution reform, the reform is always moving forward in controversy and even criticism What's different is that from "crossing the river by feeling the stone" to "top-level design of reform", from the economic field to the social and political field, the more reform is pushed forward, the deeper the contradictions are involved, the more complex the interests involved and the greater the resistance encountered In a popular word, it's almost as easy to change, and the rest are all hard to chew "hard bones", which can't be avoided or avoided Reform will provoke right and wrong Reform is "asking for trouble", and it is difficult for reform to be perfect More than 30 years later, in the deep-water area and in the critical period, no matter how thoughtful and intelligent the plan is, the reform will always cause some criticism: the vested interests will use the dominant discourse to hinder the reform, the media public will look at the reform with critical eyes, and some people will even demand the reform with utopian thinking For reformers, to listen to the public opinion carefully and not be moved by rumors requires wisdom and prudence, but also courage and responsibility In the process of reform, what is terrible is not the emergence of opposition, but the sudden cessation of reform as soon as there are different voices In reality, either because of the resistance of vested interests, or because of the fear of uncontrollable risks, or because of the "illusion of instability", in some people's view, the "gradual" reform gradually degenerates into "non progress", and "positive and stable" tends to turn into "stable" surplus and "positive" deficiency In recent years, some local reforms have been debated for a long time, some departmental reforms have been difficult to carry out, and some areas have been difficult to break through This is all about it However, "there are risks in reform, but there are risks in not reforming the party" Looking at the decline of some of the world's major party powers, one of the fundamental reasons is that there is only the opportunity to mend and mend, and there is no boldness and boldness Finally, due to the stagnation of reform, China has entered a dead end For the current reform of various departments in different regions, in the face of institutional and institutional obstacles that can not be avoided and bypassed, if you are afraid of that and falter, hold the view that "more is more than less" Although we can obtain some benefits easily and comprehensively, we can only delay the problem into a historical problem, let the crisis run ahead of the reform, and eventually lead to more contradictions, lead to a greater crisis, and even fall into the so-called "transition period trap" Comrade Xiaoping warned more than 20 years ago: "don't be afraid to take a little risk We have formed a kind of ability to bear risks "The more reform and opening up, the stronger the ability to bear and resist risks When dealing with problems, we should not be afraid to take risks In fact, from the brink of collapse at the beginning of the reform and opening up to the wandering history before the southern talks, our party is focusing on the future of the country and the people, with the view that "Heaven changes without fear, ancestors without law, and people without compassion" Only by grasping the main contradictions and facing the risk test, can we turn the crisis into an opportunity, push forward the reform and opening up, and make China the second largest economy in the world It's better to have micro words than crises; it's better to have "imperfect" reform than crises without reform A major party in power for a long time should be especially alert to the damage of short-term actions to the foundation of power, prevent local interests from influencing the direction of development, and try to avoid the delay of reform opportunities What we think about is not only the development and stability of the current society, but also the long-term stability and stability of the party and the national cause In the face of a new historical orientation of reform, we should take a broad vision of "fearless clouds to cover our eyes" and take on selfless and fearless responsibilities According to the requirements of General Secretary Hu Jintao, "we should seize the opportunity to promote reform in important fields and key links" and "continue to promote reform and innovation in economic system, political system, cultural system and social system" In this way, we will be able to resolve the risks at present, let development take advantage of the situation, and win a bright future for the party and the country
