供給側結構性改革

習近平指出，供給側結構性改革“重點是解放和發展社會生產力”，“既強調供給又關注需求，既突出發展社會生產力又注重完善生產關系，既發揮市場在資源配置中的決定性作用又更好發揮政府作用，既著眼當前又立足長遠”。自2015年首次提出之后，供給側結構性改革成為當前中國經濟工作的核心，其手段方法也伴隨著中國社會經濟的發展而變化：從2015年強調“三去一降一補”，到2017年強調重點在“破、立、降”上下功夫，再到2018年提出要在“鞏固、增強、提升、暢通”八個字上下功夫。推進供給側結構性改革，是以習近平同志為核心的黨中央在綜合分析世界經濟長周期和中國發展階段性特征及其相互作用的基礎上，集中全黨和全國人民智慧，從理論到實踐不斷探索的結晶。其不僅在理論上豐富了經濟新常態理論，為中國特色社會主義政治經濟學書寫了新篇章，而且在實踐上開創了中國改革發展、宏觀調控和經濟結構調整的新紀元。供給側結構性改革也為打贏脫貧攻堅戰、促進貧困地區加快發展提供了科學指引。

Supply-Side Structural Reform

According to Xi Jinping, the key to supply-side structural reform is to release and develop productive forces. The reform focuses on both supply and demand, aims to develop productive forces and improve relations of production, allows the market to play its decisive role in resource allocation and the government to better fulfill its functions, and looks to address both present and future needs. An idea first proposed in 2015, supply-side structural reform is the current priority in China's economic work.

China has adopted different policies to proceed with the reform in tandem with its economic and social development. In 2015, the reform focused on "cutting overcapacity and excess inventory, deleveraging, reducing costs, and tackling areas of weaknesses"; in 2017, the emphasis was on "cutting ineffective supply, fostering new growth drivers, and reducing costs"; and in 2018 the attention was on "consolidating, strengthening, upgrading, and ensuring unimpeded flows."

Supply-side structural reform reflects the theory and practice of the CPC Central Committee with Xi at its core, based on an overall analysis of the world economic cycle and the features of China's development, and the interaction between them. It enriches China's vision of the new normal economy and the socialist political economy with Chinese features, and also heralds a new era in the country's reform and opening up, macro regulation, and economic structural adjustment. Supply-side structural reform guides China's battle against poverty while accelerating the development of poor areas.
