The Theoretical Foundation, Goal Orientation, and Practical Path of Systematically Integrated Advancement of Comprehensive Deepening of Reform
张永刚、贾云飞:系统集成推进全面深化改革的理论根基、目标指向与实践进路
The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to “strengthen systematic integration, enhance the overall planning and systematic layout of reform, so that reforms in all areas complement each other and are coordinated and efficient.” [1]1 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, held in July 2024, focused on further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization. This marks the elevation of systematic integration to the methodological core of further comprehensively deepening reform. The logic of reform is undergoing a profound shift from the early stage of “key breakthroughs” to a new phase of “system coupling” and “overall effectiveness.” Against this backdrop, how to construct a methodological system of “systematic integration” from the theoretical, goal-oriented, and practical levels, in order to solve practical problems such as the fragmentation and departmentalization of reform, and thereby inject strong impetus into advancing Chinese-path modernization, has become a major issue requiring in-depth explanation. The academic community has already conducted in-depth research on systematic integration and comprehensive deepening of reform. Professor Chen Jinlong believes that “further comprehensively deepening reform involves all fields and aspects, so placing greater emphasis on systematic integration is an inherent requirement of reform.” Professor Xin Xiangyang also believes that “adhering to a systematic concept is a requirement of the practice of comprehensively deepening reform.” Existing research fully affirms the important value of systematic integration in enhancing the synergy and integrity of reform, holding that it helps break down field barriers, optimize resource allocation, and improve reform effectiveness. To further enhance its guiding power for reform practice, it is necessary to systematically integrate from the three levels of theoretical origins, goal system, and practical path, and deeply reveal the internal logic and implementation path through which systematic integration drives reform strategy and transforms into governance effectiveness. To this end, this paper constructs a three-in-one analytical framework of systematic integration: “theoretical foundation—goal orientation—practical path.” It solidifies the theoretical foundation based on Marxist systematic thinking, the wisdom of traditional Chinese philosophy, modern systems science, and the Party’s practical experience. It clarifies the value orientation around the three major goals of perfecting the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and promoting high-quality economic development. It systematically explains the path mechanism from the three dimensions of top-level design, synergistic co-advancement, and dynamic adjustment, in order to comprehensively reveal the internal logic and practical value of systematic integration as the core methodology of reform in the New Era.
党的二十届三中全会强调要“强化系统集成,加强对改革整体谋划、系统布局,使各方面改革相互配合、协同高效”,这标志着系统集成已被提升至进一步全面深化改革的方法论核心高度,改革逻辑正由早期的“重点突破”向“系统耦合”与“整体效能”的新阶段深刻转变。在此背景下,如何从理论、目标与实践层面构建“系统集成”的方法论体系,以破解改革碎片化、部门化等现实难题,从而为推进中国式现代化注入强劲动力,成为一项亟待深入阐释的重大课题。学界围绕系统集成与全面深化改革已展开深入研究。陈金龙教授认为,“进一步全面深化改革涉及各领域、各方面,因此更加注重系统集成是改革的内在要求”,辛向阳教授也认为“必须坚持系统观念是全面深化改革实践的要求”。现有研究充分肯定了系统集成在增强改革协同性与整体性方面的重要价值,认为其有助于打破领域壁垒、优化资源配置、提升改革效能。为进一步增强其对改革实践的指导力,有必要从理论源流、目标体系与实践路径三个层面系统整合,深入揭示系统集成牵引改革战略、转化为治理效能的内在逻辑与实施路径。为此,本文构建“理论根基—目标指向—实践进路”三位一体的系统集成分析框架:立足马克思主义系统思维、中国传统哲学智慧、现代系统科学及党的实践经验,夯实其理论根基;围绕完善中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理现代化、推动经济高质量发展三大目标,厘清其价值指向;从顶层设计、协同共进与动态调整三个维度系统阐释其路径机制,以全面揭示系统集成作为新时代改革核心方法论的内在逻辑与实践价值。
I. The Theoretical Foundation of Systematically Integrated Advancement of Comprehensive Deepening of Reform
一、系统集成推进全面深化改革的理论根基
Systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform refers to the organized, sequential, and rule-based integration of independent systems in various reform fields such as the economy, politics, culture, society, and ecology, as well as their components, during the reform process. This promotes coordinated progress across all integrated fields to achieve overall benefits. In fact, the formation of this important method originates from Marxist systematic thinking, the systematic thought in traditional Chinese philosophy, the important achievements of applying modern systems science theory, and the Chinese Communist Party’s use and practice of the systematic method.
系统集成推进全面深化改革是指在改革中对经济、政治、文化、社会、生态等各改革领域、各组成部分等独立系统进行有组织、有顺序、有规则的集成,促使集成后的整体各领域能够协调共进,以发挥整体效益。实际上,这一重要方法的形成源于马克思主义的系统思维、中国传统哲学中的系统思想、现代系统科学理论应用的重要成果和中国共产党对系统方法的运用与实践。
(A) The Essential Requirements of Marxist Systematic Thinking
(一)马克思主义系统思维的本质要求
Marxist systematic thinking, centered on the dialectical materialist concept of interconnection, emphasizes grasping things from the perspectives of wholeness, systematicity, and dynamism. This sets forth practical requirements for comprehensively deepening reform: all reform measures must be closely interrelated, jointly constructing a complete and systematic reform system. Marxist systematic thinking is the core theoretical cornerstone of the systematic integration methodology. Precisely because of this, the practice of systematic integration in grasping the wholeness of things, utilizing interconnectedness, and adapting to dynamism profoundly embodies the essential requirements of Marxist systematic thinking.
马克思主义系统思维以唯物辩证法的联系观点为核心,强调从整体性、系统性和动态性把握事物。这为全面深化改革提出了现实要求:各项改革措施必须紧密关联,共同构建系统完整的改革体系。马克思主义系统思维是系统集成方法论的核心理论基石。正因如此,系统集成在把握事物整体性、运用关联性以及适应动态性方面的实践,深刻体现了马克思主义系统思维的本质要求。
First, Marxist systematic thinking endows systematic integration with the characteristic of wholeness. The world is an organic whole. From the microscopic structure of cells to the macroscopic celestial bodies of the universe, from natural ecosystems to the systems of various fields in human society, everything exists within a network of mutual interconnection and interaction. As Engels stated: “The recognition that all processes in nature are in systematic interconnection drives science everywhere to prove this systematic interconnection from both the individual parts and the whole.” [2]2 This is a paraphrase of a passage from Engels’s *Dialectics of Nature*. In the process of comprehensively deepening reform, the various fields of reform are closely linked; pulling one hair may move the whole body. Only through systematic integration can different elements be effectively integrated into an organic whole. This characteristic of wholeness is particularly prominent in the strategic deployment of building a high-level socialist market economy. Systematic integration thinking requires us to coordinate multiple relationships such as government and market, development and security, efficiency and fairness, avoiding the one-sidedness and isolation of reform measures, and ensuring that economic system reform advances in coordination with reforms in the political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization fields. This is a concrete manifestation of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan [3]3 The Five-Sphere Integrated Plan refers to China’s overall plan for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, covering economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization construction. within the reform strategy. Systematic integration rationally allocates and integrates multiple elements of reform, such as institutions, policies, talent, and resources, examining and solving reform problems from an overall perspective. Only then can organic linkage and coordinated advancement of reform systems and mechanisms in various fields be achieved.
首先,马克思主义系统思维赋予系统集成整体性特征。世界是一个有机的整体,从微观的细胞结构到宏观的宇宙天体,从自然界的生态系统到人类社会各领域系统,均处在相互联系作用的关系之中。正如恩格斯所言:“关于自然界所有过程都处在一种系统联系中的认识,推动科学到处从个别部分和整体上去证明这种系统联系。”在全面深化改革进程中,改革的各个领域紧密相连,牵一发而动全身,系统集成才能有效将不同要素整合为一个有机整体。这一整体性特征在构建高水平社会主义市场经济体制的战略部署中尤为突出,系统集成思维要求我们统筹政府与市场、发展与安全、效率与公平等多重关系,避免改革举措的片面性与孤立性,确保经济体制改革与政治、文化、社会、生态文明等领域改革协同推进,这正是“五位一体”总体布局在改革战略中的具体体现。系统集成对改革的制度、政策、人才、资源等多要素进行合理调配和整合,以全局视角审视和解决改革中的问题,才能实现各领域改革体制机制的有机衔接与协同推进。
Second, Marxist systematic thinking endows systematic integration with the characteristic of systematicity. When discussing “interconnection,” Engels emphasizes that interconnection is “a picture of an endless interweaving of various connections and interactions,” [4]4 This is a paraphrase of a passage from Engels’s *Anti-Dühring*. indicating that complex and diverse connections exist both among the internal elements of things and between different things. Systematic integration focuses on the systematicity of things, dedicating itself to deeply exploring and sorting out the latent internal relationships among various elements, and striving to transform them into practical applications to achieve synergistic effects. Marx, when explaining the social organism, also pointed out: “How can the single logical formula of movement, sequence, and time explain the social organism in which all relations coexist simultaneously and depend on each other?” [5]5 This is a paraphrase of a passage from Marx’s *The Poverty of Philosophy*. This indicates that Marx believed humanity, society, and thought constitute an interdependent organic whole. This principle of systematicity is concretized in reform practice as the construction of cross-departmental and cross-field coordination mechanisms. For example, in promoting the deepening development of the “streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation, and improve services” reform, [6]6 “Streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation, and improve services” (放管服) is a reform initiative to transform government functions, reduce administrative intervention, and improve the business environment. the systematic integration method, through data sharing, process reengineering, and functional optimization, breaks down traditional administrative barriers, achieves a systematic reshaping of the administrative approval system, and significantly enhances government governance effectiveness and market vitality. Comprehensively deepening reform means integrating the various fields, links, and elements of reform through systematic integration, enabling real-time sharing and interaction of resources, information, and experience among reform fields. Only systematic integration based on interconnectedness can allow all links of comprehensively deepening reform to form an organic system network, producing an effect where “1+1 is greater than 2.”
其次,马克思主义系统思维赋予系统集成系统性特征。恩格斯谈及“联系”时强调联系“是一幅由种种联系和相互作用无穷无尽地交织起来的画面”,其表明事物内部各要素之间以及不同事物之间存在着复杂且多样联系。系统集成着重聚焦事物的系统性,致力于深度挖掘和梳理各要素间潜藏的内在关联,并努力将其转化为实际应用,实现协同效应。马克思在阐释社会有机体时也指出:“单凭运动、顺序和时间的唯一逻辑公式怎能向我们说明一切关系在其中同时存在而又互相依存的社会机体呢?”这表明马克思认为人类、社会和思维是一个相互依存的有机整体。这一系统性原则在改革实践中具体化为跨部门、跨领域的协同机制构建。例如,在推动“放管服”改革向纵深发展中,系统集成方法通过数据共享、流程再造与职能优化,打破了传统行政壁垒,实现了行政审批制度的系统性重塑,显著提升了政府治理效能与市场活力。全面深化改革就是要通过系统集成,将改革各领域、各环节、各要素等整合起来,使各改革领域之间的资源、信息、经验实时共享、交互,也只有基于关联性的系统集成,才能让全面深化改革的各环节形成一个有机的系统网络,发挥出“1+1>2”的效果。
Finally, Marxist systematic thinking endows systematic integration with the characteristic of dynamism. “The world is not to be comprehended as a complex of ready-made things, but as a complex of processes.” [7]7 This is a paraphrase of a passage from Engels’s *Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy*. All things in the world are in a state of constant development and change. Systematic integration not only possesses dynamism but must also adapt to the dynamic changes of things. Systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening reform is not a one-time, static integration, but a process of continuously optimizing the influencing and constraining relationships among various reform fields, levels, and regions, and resolving contradictions among various elements during the reform process, based on different stages of development and changes in the environment. This principle of dynamism is reflected in the reform strategy of the New Era as continuous assessment and dynamic adjustment of the reform process. In fact, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, focusing on developing new quality productive forces, proposed “improving the systems and mechanisms for developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions.” [8]8 New quality productive forces (新质生产力) is a concept promoted by Xi Jinping referring to productivity driven by technological innovation, high efficiency, and high quality, distinct from traditional labor- and resource-intensive models. This is precisely a dynamic adjustment of the relations of production in response to new trends in the technological revolution and industrial transformation, responding to the latest requirements of productive forces development through institutional innovation. Based on the New Era, the Chinese Communist Party, in accordance with changes in the domestic and international situation and reform needs, has proposed the overall goals, new plans, and new layouts for comprehensively deepening reform in areas such as the economy, people’s livelihood, education, science and technology, talent, democracy, rule of law, and Party leadership and building. Only thus has it achieved the continuous expansion and deepening of reform and opening up.
最后,马克思主义系统思维赋予系统集成动态性特征。“世界不是既成事物的集合体,而是过程的集合体。”世界上的各种事物都处于不断发展变化的过程中,系统集成不仅具有动态性,同样要适应事物的动态变化。系统集成推进全面深化改革不是一劳永逸地静态整合,而是根据事物发展的不同阶段和环境变化,持续优化改革各领域、各层次、各地区的影响和制约关系,解决改革过程中各要素间矛盾的过程。这一动态性原则在新时代改革战略中体现为对改革进程的持续评估与动态调整。实际上,党的二十届三中全会围绕发展新质生产力提出“健全因地制宜发展新质生产力体制机制”,正是根据科技革命与产业变革的新趋势,对生产关系进行动态调适,以制度创新响应生产力发展的最新要求。立足新时代,中国共产党正是根据国内外形势变化和改革需求,从经济民生、教育、科技、人才、民主、法治、党的领导与建设等领域提出了全面深化改革的总目标、新方案、新布局,才实现了对改革开放的不断拓展和深化。
(B) The Contemporary Reflection of Systematic Thought in Traditional Chinese Philosophy
(二)中国传统哲学系统思想的时代映现
Traditional Chinese culture, with its long history and profound depth, contains rich systemic thought, providing a deep cultural foundation for systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform. The thought of "harmony between humanity and nature" [9]9 "Harmony between humanity and nature" (天人合一, *tian ren he yi*) is a foundational concept in Chinese philosophy, particularly in Confucianism and Daoism, asserting that the human world and the natural cosmos are an interconnected, organic whole rather than separate realms. profoundly embodies a deep understanding of the relationship between humanity and nature. The *Book of Changes* [10]10 The *Book of Changes* (易经, *Yijing* or *I Ching*) is an ancient Chinese divination text and one of the oldest classics, whose philosophical commentaries form a core part of Chinese cosmology, emphasizing change and the interaction of yin and yang forces. regards the universe and all things as a multi-layered, dynamically evolving systemic whole, using the combinations and changes of yin-yang and the eight trigrams and sixty-four hexagrams to explain and deduce the laws of operation of nature and human society. It proposes that "the alternation of yin and yang is called the Way," where the concept of "yin-yang" embodies the unity of opposites in things, while the "five elements" [11]11 The "five elements" (五行, *wu xing*) are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, understood in Chinese cosmology as fundamental phases or forces in a dynamic cycle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, used to explain natural and social phenomena. doctrine elaborates the mutual generation and mutual restraint relationships among things, reflecting the system's wholeness, interconnectedness, and dynamism.
中国传统文化源远流长、博大精深,其中蕴含着丰富的系统思想,为系统集成推进全面深化改革提供了深厚的文化积淀。“天人合一”思想深刻体现了对人与自然关系的深邃理解,《易经》将宇宙万物视为一个多层次、动态演化的系统整体,通过阴阳八卦和六十四卦的组合与变化,解释和演绎自然界和人类社会的运行规律,提出了“一阴一阳之谓道”,其中“阴阳”观念体现了事物的对立统一,“五行”学说则阐述了事物之间的相生相克关系,反映了系统的整体性、关联性、动态性。
The systemic thought of traditional Chinese philosophy emphasizes the wholeness, interconnectedness, and dynamism of things. Among these, the thought of "harmony between humanity and nature" holds that humanity and nature are harmoniously unified, forming an organic whole. Zhuangzi's assertion that "heaven and earth are born together with me, and the myriad things and I are one" [12]12 This quote is from the *Zhuangzi*, a foundational Daoist text attributed to the philosopher Zhuang Zhou (4th century BCE), expressing a state of unity with the cosmos. depicts a state of co-existence, co-survival, and co-nurturing between heaven, earth, the myriad things, and humanity, indicating the interconnectedness and symbiosis of humanity and nature in time and space. Laozi's emphasis that "the Way gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to the myriad things" [13]13 This quote is from the *Dao De Jing* (Tao Te Ching), the central text of Daoism attributed to Laozi (6th century BCE), describing the generative process of the cosmos from the undifferentiated Way (*Dao*). also fully discusses that humanity is a part of nature, stressing the need for harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. In Laozi's view, the Way is the essence of the universe and all things, and all things in heaven and earth are born from the Way. Hence, he emphasizes that "humanity follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Way, and the Way follows nature," [14]14 This quote is from the *Dao De Jing*, outlining the hierarchical emanation of the cosmos and the principle that the Way (*Dao*) is the ultimate source and model for all things, including human conduct. thereby achieving a common origin of humanity and all things in heaven and earth at the level of the Way, embodying the dynamism of things. The traditional thought of "harmony between humanity and nature" not only provides a cultural gene for systemic integration but also offers an ideological and cultural gene for the reform practice of ecological civilization in the New Era.
中国传统哲学的系统思想强调事物的整体性、关联性、动态性。其中“天人合一”思想认为人与自然和谐统一,人与自然是一个有机整体。庄子主张的“天地与我并生,而万物与我为一”,描绘出天地万物与人类共生、共存、共育的状态,表明人与自然在时间和空间上的关联性和共生性。老子强调的“道生一,一生二,二生三,三生万物”,也充分论述人类是自然界的一部分,强调人与自然要和谐相处。在老子看来,道是宇宙万物的本质,天地万物皆由道而生,他故而强调“人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然”,从而在道的层面上实现了人类与天地万物的同根同源,体现出了事物的动态性。传统“天人合一”思想不仅为系统集成提供文化基因,而且为新时代生态文明改革实践提供思想文化基因。
"Every civilization continues the spiritual lifeline of a nation and a country, requiring not only transmission from generation to generation and protection over time but also keeping pace with the times and daring to innovate." Systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform also emphasizes that humanity and nature form an organic whole, reflecting the inheritance and innovation of Chinese civilization by comprehensive deepening of reform. These wisdoms of traditional systemic thought have undergone creative transformation and innovative development in the reform strategy of the New Era. For example, in implementing the rural revitalization strategy, the holistic view of "harmony between humanity and nature" is concretized into the integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, waters, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and deserts, promoting the coordinated development of agricultural green transformation and rural ecological livability. Similarly, the regional coordinated development strategy draws on the balancing wisdom of "mutual generation of the five elements," forming a new pattern of regional development with complementary advantages and coordinated interaction based on the resource endowments and functional positioning of different regions. Again, in advancing the process of common prosperity, the systemic integration method coordinates major relationships such as efficiency and fairness, market and government, and development and security, striving to achieve the overall optimization of the social interest structure in dynamic development. Comprehensive deepening of reform requires deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system to achieve harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping points out: "We must firmly establish and practice the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and plan development from the height of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature." [15]15 This is a direct quote from Xi Jinping's report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC in October 2022 Systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform in the field of ecological civilization requires efforts in the basic system of ecological civilization, the governance system, and the development mechanism, constructing a "perfect basic system of ecological civilization, a sound ecological environment governance system, and a sound green and low-carbon development mechanism." [16]16 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, held in July 2024, focused on further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization. Only by systematically advancing ecological civilization construction and rationally coordinating the fields, links, and goals of the reform of the ecological civilization system as a whole can the thought of "harmony between humanity and nature" be inherited and carried forward in the New Era.
“每一种文明都延续着一个国家和民族的精神血脉,既需要薪火相传、代代守护,更需要与时俱进、勇于创新。”系统集成推进全面深化改革也强调人与自然是一个有机整体,体现出全面深化改革对中华文明的传承性和创新性。传统系统思想的这些智慧,在新时代改革战略中得到了创造性转化和创新性发展。如在实施乡村振兴战略中,“天人合一”的整体观具体化为对山水林田湖草沙一体化保护和系统治理的统筹推进,推动农业绿色转型与农村生态宜居协同发展;又如区域协调发展战略也汲取了“五行相生”的平衡智慧,依据不同地区的资源禀赋与功能定位,推动形成优势互补、协调互动的区域发展新格局;再如在推动共同富裕的进程中,系统集成方法统筹效率与公平、市场与政府、发展与安全等重大关系,力求在动态发展中实现社会利益结构的整体优化。全面深化改革要求深化生态文明体制改革,实现人与自然和谐共生,对此,习近平总书记指出:“必须牢固树立和践行绿水青山就是金山银山的理念,站在人与自然和谐共生的高度谋划发展。”系统集成推进全面深化改革在生态文明领域要求从生态文明基础体制、治理体系、发展机制上下功夫,构建“完善生态文明基础体制、健全生态环境治理体系、健全绿色低碳发展机制”。只有系统推进生态文明建设,对生态文明体制改革的领域、环节、目标等从整体上进行合理统筹,才能在新时代继续传承和发扬“天人合一”思想。
The thought of "harmony between humanity and nature" provides important conceptual support for the wholeness, interconnectedness, and dynamism of systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform. Starting from this thought, comprehensive deepening of reform cannot advance a single field in isolation but must consider the whole, coordinate all aspects, make dynamic adjustments, and pursue overall benefits. This prompts us to view reform from a more macroscopic perspective, promote the coordinated development of reforms in various fields, achieve comprehensive progress across all areas of society, and infuse comprehensive deepening of reform with profound cultural connotations and philosophical wisdom, making reform more aligned with the long-term interests of human social development.
“天人合一”思想为系统集成推进全面深化改革的整体性、关联性、动态性提供了重要的理念支撑。从这一思想出发,全面深化改革不能孤立地推进某个领域,而应全盘考虑、统筹兼顾、动态调整,追求整体效益。这就促使我们以更宏观视角看待改革,推动各领域改革协同发展,实现社会全领域全面进步,为全面深化改革注入深厚的文化内涵和哲学智慧,让改革更加符合人类社会发展的长远利益。
(III) Important Achievements in the Application of Modern Systems Science Theory
(三)现代系统科学理论应用的重要成果
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC [17]17 Xi Jinping, "Speech at the Second Plenary Session of the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee" (February 28, 2018). clearly stated: "Reform now faces more deep-seated institutional and mechanistic issues, requiring higher demands for top-level design of reform and stronger demands for the systematic nature, wholeness, and synergy of reform." [18]18 Xi Jinping, "Speech at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee" (July 15, 2024). These demands are highly consistent with the basic principles of modern systems science, providing important methodological insights for systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform. If Marxist systemic thinking is regarded as the philosophical foundation of systemic integration, modern systems science contributes operational methodological tools and practical pathways for it.
党的十九届四中全会明确指出:“改革更多面对的是深层次体制机制问题,对改革顶层设计的要求更高,对改革的系统性、整体性、协同性要求更强。”这些要求与现代系统科学的基本原则高度契合,为系统集成推进全面深化改革提供了重要的方法论启示。若将马克思主义系统思维视为系统集成的哲学根基,现代系统科学则为其贡献了可操作的方法论工具与实践路径。
The wholeness principle of systems theory emphasizes that a system is an organic whole where various elements are interconnected and interact. Ludwig von Bertalanffy proposed that "studying a system as a unity, rather than as a patchwork of parts, is consistent with the tendency of modern science to no longer isolate phenomena in narrow, closed states but to begin examining increasingly larger objects in the natural world." [19]19 Xi Jinping, "Explanation of the 'CPC Central Committee Decision This principle requires that reform must emphasize top-level design and overall planning. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes: "Comprehensive deepening of reform requires strengthening top-level design and overall planning, and strengthening research on the interconnectedness, systematic nature, and feasibility of various reforms." [20]20 Xi Jinping, "Explanation on the 'Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization'," *People's Daily*, July 22, 2024. In the reform process of building a unified national market, the holistic thinking of systemic integration is embodied in the systematic construction of market basic systems, market-based allocation of factors, and market supervision systems, aiming to break regional segmentation and industry barriers and form an efficient, standardized, and fair competitive domestic market. This is a concrete practice of the wholeness principle in reform strategy.
系统论的整体性原则强调系统是各要素相互联系、相互作用的有机整体。贝塔朗菲提出“把系统作为一种统一体,而不是作为诸部分的拼合物来研究,这是与现代科学不再把现象隔离于狭窄的封闭的状态中,而开始考察越来越大的自然界对象的倾向相一致的”这一原则要求改革必须注重顶层设计与全局统筹。习近平总书记强调:“全面深化改革需要加强顶层设计和整体谋划,加强各项改革的关联性、系统性、可行性研究。”在建设全国统一大市场的改革进程中,系统集成的整体性思维体现为对市场基础制度、要素市场化配置、市场监管体制等的系统构建,旨在打破地域分割和行业壁垒,形成高效规范、公平竞争的国内大市场,这正是整体性原则在改革战略中的具体实践。
The systematic principle of systems theory focuses on the complex interconnections and interactive mechanisms among the various elements within a system. Systemic integration must, on this basis, handle the mutual promotion, influence, and constraint relationships among various reform measures. Some scholars propose that further comprehensive deepening of reform should be "systematically grasped from two levels: the overall planning of reform and the basic logic of reform." [21]21 See the relevant discussion in the *Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization*. In fact, in the strategic deployment of promoting the integrated reform of the education, science and technology, and talent systems and mechanisms, the systematic principle guides the construction of an institutional system where the three are deeply integrated and interact positively. By breaking down institutional barriers and promoting resource exchange, a systematic synergy driven by innovation is formed. This is a key manifestation of systematic thinking in reform.
系统论的系统性原则聚焦于系统内部各要素之间的复杂关联与互动机制。系统集成需在此基础上处理好各项改革举措之间的相互促进、影响与制约关系。有学者提出,进一步全面深化改革应“从改革的统筹谋划和改革的基础逻辑两个层面加以系统把握”。实际上,在推动教育、科技、人才体制机制一体改革的战略部署中,系统性原则指导构建三者深度融合、良性互动的制度体系,通过破除体制壁垒、促进资源互通,形成创新驱动的系统合力,这正是系统性思维在改革中的关键体现。
The dynamism principle of systems theory reveals that a system is in a constant state of development and change, requiring dynamic adjustment and optimization according to environmental changes. Comprehensive deepening of reform itself is a dynamic process based on "crossing the river by feeling the stones" [22]22 Xi Jinping, "Explanation on the 'Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization'," *People's Daily*, July 22, 2024. exploration and deepening with practice. Facing the changes unseen in a century in the world and the evolution of the domestic development stage, it is necessary to establish and improve a dynamic adjustment mechanism for reform. In the process of improving the macroeconomic governance system, China focuses on building a policy framework that combines cross-cycle and counter-cyclical adjustments. Through dynamic monitoring, expectation management, and flexible policy implementation, it enhances development resilience. This is a concrete application of the dynamism principle in reform practice.
系统论的动态性原则揭示系统处于不断发展变化之中,需根据环境变化进行动态调整与优化。全面深化改革本身就是一个基于“摸着石头过河”探索、并随实践深化的动态过程。面对世界百年未有之大变局和国内发展阶段的演进,必须建立健全改革的动态调整机制。我国在完善宏观经济治理体系过程中,注重构建跨周期和逆周期调节相结合的政策框架,通过动态监测、预期管理和灵活施策,增强发展韧性,即为动态性原则在改革实践中的具体运用。
In summary, systems theory provides a scientific mode of thinking and practical guidance for systematically integrated advancement of comprehensive deepening of reform. Following the principles of wholeness, systematicity, and dynamism of systemic integration helps to grasp reform from an overall perspective, coordinate various relationships, and respond to complex environments, thereby continuously improving the systemic effectiveness and development quality of reform, and providing a solid methodological guarantee for realizing Chinese-path modernization.
综上,系统论为系统集成推进全面深化改革提供了科学的思维方式与实践指引。遵循系统集成的整体性、系统性与动态性原则,有助于从全局把握改革、协同各类关系、应对复杂环境,从而不断提升改革的系统效能与发展质量,为实现中国式现代化提供坚实的方法论保障。
(IV) Valuable Experience of the Party's Application of the Systemic Method in the New Era
(四)新时代党运用系统方法的宝贵经验
The systemic concept is a foundational thought and working method for the governance of the Communist Party of China in the New Era. General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated: "Only by observing things with a universally connected, comprehensive and systematic, and developmental and changing perspective can we grasp the laws of development of things." [23]23 Mao Zedong, "The Struggle in the Jinggang Mountains," *Selected Works of Mao Zedong*, Vol. 1, People's Publishing House, 1991, p. 113. This scientific methodology has been continuously deepened and developed in the practice of comprehensive deepening of reform, forming a method of systemic integration reform with distinct Chinese characteristics, promoting the "transformation of reform from partial exploration and breakthrough to systemic integration and comprehensive deepening." [24]24 See Wei Liqun, “Several Issues on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform,” *Administrative Reform*, 2024, no. 8.
系统观念是新时代中国共产党治国理政的基础性思想和工作方法。习近平总书记明确指出:“只有用普遍联系的、全面系统的、发展变化的观点观察事物,才能把握事物发展规律。”这一科学方法论在全面深化改革实践中不断深化发展,形成了具有鲜明中国特色的系统集成改革方法,推动实现“改革由局部探索、破冰突围到系统集成、全面深化的转变”。
In the new stage where reform has entered the deep-water zone, facing the complex situation in which various deep-seated contradictions are interwoven, the Party has integrated the systems concept throughout the entire process of reform and development, inaugurating a new phase of reform and opening up. This methodological innovation has been fully embodied in the reform of government functions, or "streamlining administration, delegating powers, improving regulation, and upgrading services." Through cross-departmental coordination, data sharing, and process reengineering, the systematic integration method has broken down traditional administrative barriers, achieved a systemic reshaping of the administrative approval system, significantly enhanced government governance efficiency and market vitality, and become a model for applying the systems method to advance reform in the New Era.
在改革进入深水区的新阶段,面对各种深层次矛盾相互交织的复杂局面,党将系统观念贯穿改革发展全过程,开创了改革开放新局面。这一方法论创新在“放管服”改革中得到了充分体现。通过跨部门协同、数据共享和流程再造,系统集成方法打破了传统的行政壁垒,实现了行政审批制度的系统性重塑,显著提升了政府治理效能与市场活力,成为新时代运用系统方法推进改革的典范。
The Communist Party of China has employed the systems method to carry out a series of reforms across various social fields that possess holistic, synergistic, and dynamic characteristics. In the economic field, it has deepened supply-side structural reform, closely integrating the innovation-driven development strategy, the coordinated regional development strategy, and others; in the political field, reform measures cover multiple departments and areas, with systematic planning from macro-level top-level design to micro-level functional adjustments; in the cultural field, it has promoted the coordinated development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries, achieving systematic integration of cultural construction and economic construction; in the social field, it has focused on the core concerns of the people, striving to resolve pressing, difficult, anxious, and problematic issues in the domain of people's livelihood, gradually establishing a multi-level livelihood support network covering educational equity, medical and health care, employment services, old-age security, and other areas; in the field of ecological civilization, it has adhered to systematic governance, constructing a comprehensive, multi-level ecological environment protection system, achieving synergistic progress and positive interaction between ecological protection and economic development.
中国共产党运用系统方法在社会各领域展开了一系列具有整体性、协同性、动态性的改革。在经济领域,深化供给侧结构性改革,创新驱动发展战略、区域协调发展战略等紧密结合;在政治领域,改革举措覆盖多个部门和领域,从宏观的顶层设计到微观的职能调整,都进行了系统规划;在文化领域,推动文化事业和文化产业协同发展,实现了文化建设与经济建设的系统集成;在社会领域,聚焦百姓核心关切,着力破解民生领域急难愁盼问题,逐步建立起涵盖教育公平、医疗卫生、就业服务、养老保障等多层次民生支撑网络;在生态文明领域,坚持系统治理,构建了全方位、多层次的生态环境保护体系,实现了生态保护与经济发展的协同并进与良性互动。
Based on these rich practices, the systematic integration methodology has been systematically summarized and refined. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party further emphasized the need to "pay greater attention to systematic integration, pay greater attention to highlighting key points, and pay greater attention to reform effectiveness." [16]16 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, held in July 2024, focused on further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization. This valuable experience has not only promoted systemic reshaping and holistic restructuring across various fields but also provides a scientific methodological guide for further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization, injecting powerful impetus into the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
基于这些丰富实践,系统集成方法论得以系统总结和凝练。党的二十届三中全会进一步强调要“更加注重系统集成,更加注重突出重点,更加注重改革成效”。这一宝贵经验不仅推动了各领域实现系统性重塑、整体性重构,也为进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化提供了科学的方法论指引,为实现中华民族伟大复兴注入了强大动力。
II. The Goal Orientation of Systematically Integrated Advancement of Comprehensive Deepening of Reform
二、系统集成推进全面深化改革的目标指向
In the process of comprehensively deepening reform, the systematic integration methodology takes "overall coordination, systemic advancement, and dynamic optimization" as its implementation path, achieving an overall leap in reform effectiveness through organic synergy. It can be said that this integrated reform path is not only the underlying logic of comprehensively deepening reform but also a solid foundation for realizing Chinese-path modernization. Specifically, perfecting the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the institutional carrier of governance modernization; governance modernization provides governance guarantees for high-quality development; these three goals together constitute a closed-loop system of "institution – governance – development."
在全面深化改革进程中,系统集成方法论以“全局统筹、体系推进、动态优化”为实施路径,通过有机协同实现改革效能的整体跃升。可以说,这种集成式改革路径既是全面深化改革的底层逻辑,更是实现中国式现代化的坚实基础。具体而言,完善中国特色社会主义制度是治理现代化的制度载体,治理现代化为高质量发展提供治理保障,三重目标共同构成“制度-治理-发展”的闭环系统。
(I) From the perspective of the foundational goal, it is conducive to perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics
(一)从基础目标看,有利于完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度
The systematic integration thinking provides a scientific method and path for perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. "Since the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a holistic entity, to construct a systematically integrated institutional system, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between overall advancement and breakthroughs on key points." The system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a vast and complex institutional system, an organic whole where components complement each other. Systematically integrating the advancement of institutional innovation, promoting the perfection and development of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, breaking down barriers and conflicts between departments and fields, achieves synergy and efficiency in the institutional system.
系统集成思维为完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度提供了科学的方法和路径。“中国特色社会主义制度既然是一个整体存在物,要构建起系统集成的制度体系,需要统筹好整体推进与重点突破的关系。”中国特色社会主义制度是一个庞大而复杂的制度体系,是一个相辅相成的有机整体。系统集成地推进制度创新,推动中国特色社会主义制度的完善和发展,打破部门之间、领域之间的壁垒和冲突,实现制度体系的协同高效。
Systematically integrated advancement of institutional construction occupies an irreplaceable core position in the process of comprehensively deepening reform. The essence of reform is to change and innovate those parts of the relations of production and the superstructure that are incompatible with the development of the productive forces, in order to resolve the basic contradictions of society. The construction of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental basis for regulating and guaranteeing the direction and path of reform, and is the key to ensuring that comprehensively deepening reform proceeds steadily and far. In some areas of social development, problems still exist such as a lack of coherence in the connection of institutional supporting measures and lagging changes; systematically integrated advancement of the perfection and development of the system has become a practical requirement of social development. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Perfecting the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a dynamic process." [17]17 Xi Jinping, "Speech at the Second Plenary Session of the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee" (February 28, 2018). Only by systematically grasping and highlighting the main line of institutional construction, and systematically perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, can we construct a solid institutional guarantee for the operation and development of our society. The top priority of systematically integrated advancement of comprehensively deepening reform is to adhere to perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which directly concerns the success or failure of comprehensively deepening reform. Perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics first requires improving and perfecting the Party's leadership institutional system, ensuring that comprehensively deepening reform advances in the correct political direction. Precisely for this reason, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization." [18]18 Xi Jinping, "Speech at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee" (July 15, 2024).
系统集成推进制度建设在全面深化改革过程中占据着不可替代的核心地位。改革的实质是为解决社会基本矛盾而对生产关系和上层建筑中不适应生产力发展的部分进行改变和革新。中国特色社会主义制度建设则是规范和保障改革方向与道路的根本依据,是保证全面深化改革行稳致远的关键。在社会发展的部分领域仍存在着制度配套衔接不连贯和变革滞后等问题,系统集成推进制度的完善和发展成为社会发展的现实要求。习近平总书记指出,“完善中国特色社会主义制度是一个动态过程”,只有系统把握和突出制度建设这条主线,系统完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度,才能为我国社会运行和发展构建起坚实的制度保障。系统集成推进全面深化改革的重中之重就是要坚持完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度,这直接关系到全面深化改革的成败。完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度首先要在健全和完善党的领导制度体系,确保全面深化改革沿着正确的政治方向前进。正因如此,习近平总书记强调:“党的领导是进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的根本保证。”
The multi-level and multi-field nature of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics determines the complex and close connections among its institutional elements, and determines that systematic integration is the fundamental method for perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The socialist market economy system in the economic field and the transformation of government functions in the political field complement each other; the government creates favorable conditions for the development of the market economy by streamlining administration, delegating powers, and optimizing the business environment, while the prosperous development of the market economy in turn provides a material foundation for political governance. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to applying systematic integration thinking, break down barriers between institutions, eliminate contradictions among institutions, achieve functional integration, synergy, and efficiency of the institutional system, and continuously perfect and develop the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
中国特色社会主义制度的多层次性和多领域性,决定了其制度要素间存在复杂且紧密的联系,决定了系统集成是完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度根本方法。经济领域的社会主义市场经济体制与政治领域的政府职能转变相辅相成,政府通过简政放权、优化营商环境,为市场经济发展创造良好条件,市场经济的繁荣发展反过来也为政治治理提供物质基础。因而需要坚持运用系统集成思维,打破制度之间的壁垒,消除制度之间的矛盾,实现制度体系的功能整合、协同高效,不断完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度。
(II) From the perspective of the fundamental goal, it can advance the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity
(二)从根本目标看,能够推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化
The modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity is the core goal of comprehensively deepening reform. Its key lies in, through the method of systematic integration, holistically coordinating and dynamically advancing various reforms, enhancing the level of transformation from the national institutional system to governance effectiveness. General Secretary Xi Jinping explicitly pointed out: "To plan comprehensively deepening reform in the New Era, we must take upholding and perfecting the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity as the main axis." [19]19 Xi Jinping, "Explanation of the 'CPC Central Committee Decision To this end, it is necessary to follow the principles of holism, synergy, and dynamism of systematic integration, systematically "utilize the institutional orientation function of the national governance system, firmly grasp the socialist attribute, the people's attribute, and the national attribute of the modernization of national governance," [20]20 Xi Jinping, "Explanation on the 'Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization'," *People's Daily*, July 22, 2024. thereby firmly grasping the correct direction of reform. The ultimate goal is to construct a synergistic, efficient, and time-adaptive system of institutions, systems, and mechanisms, providing solid support for Chinese-path modernization.
国家治理体系和治理能力现代化是全面深化改革的核心目标。其关键在于,通过系统集成的方式,整体协同、动态推进各项改革,提升国家制度体系向治理效能的转化水平。习近平总书记明确指出:“新时代谋划全面深化改革,必须以坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化为主轴。”为此,必须遵循系统集成的整体性、协同性、动态性原则,系统“运用国家治理体系的制度定向功能,牢牢把握国家治理现代化的社会主义属性、人民属性、民族属性”,从而牢牢把握改革的正确方向。最终目标是构建一个协同高效、与时俱进的制度与体制机制体系,为中国式现代化提供坚实支撑。
Synergy and efficiency are important characteristics of the modernization of the national governance system. The synergy and efficiency of institutions, systems, and mechanisms across various fields of the national governance system are key to forming a powerful resultant force in the national governance system and governance capacity. A powerful resultant force is the foundation for our country to calmly cope with the complex international environment and resolve major risks and challenges, and it is also an important force enabling our country to achieve major historical accomplishments in reform and opening up. It is precisely by relying on the integration effect formed by this high degree of synergy that our country has been able to effectively respond to the complex and volatile international environment, successfully resolve a series of major risks and challenges, and provide a solid institutional guarantee for the historic achievements of reform and opening up. The synergistic and efficient operational mechanism is the fundamental embodiment of the national governance system possessing strong resilience and adaptability, effectively solving complex social problems, and continuously raising the level of modern governance.
协同高效是国家治理体系现代化的重要特征。国家治理体系各个领域的制度和体制机制的协同高效,是形成强大的国家治理体系和治理能力合力的关键。强大的合力是我国能够从容应对国际复杂环境,解决重大风险挑战的基础,更是我国在改革开放中能够取得重大历史成就的重要力量。正是依靠这种高度协同所形成的集成效应,我国才得以有效应对复杂多变的国际环境、成功化解一系列重大风险挑战,并为改革开放取得历史性成就提供坚实的制度保障。协同高效的运行机制,是国家治理体系具备强大韧性与应变能力、有效解决复杂社会问题、不断提升现代化治理水平的根本体现。
Keeping pace with the times is the essential requirement for the modernization of the national governance system. Faced with complex and ever-changing international and domestic situations, as the times develop and technology innovates, new contradictions, new problems, and new challenges emerge one after another. To better respond to major risks and challenges and to promote the stable and long-term development of the Party and the state's undertakings, the national governance system must be promptly adjusted and innovated, thereby gaining strategic initiative. The new round of technological revolution has propelled human society into the digital age. The rapid development of the digital economy has made traditional regulatory systems difficult to adapt to, making the construction of a national governance system that keeps pace with the times urgently necessary. To this end, China needs to innovate its regulatory systems, using technological means such as big data and blockchain to establish a regulatory system that adapts to the characteristics of the digital economy, strengthen the supervision of the digital market, maintain market order, and promote the healthy development of the digital economy. The transformation of the modernization of the national governance system to keep pace with the times is the key to advancing the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity, and it is also an inevitable requirement for promoting the high-quality development of the socialist market economy.
与时俱进是国家治理体系现代化的本质要求。面对纷繁复杂的国际国内形势,随着时代的发展与技术的革新,新矛盾、新问题、新挑战层出不穷。要想更好应对重大风险挑战、推动党和国家事业行稳致远,国家治理体系必须及时进行调整和创新,从而赢得战略主动权。新一轮的科技革命已经推动人类社会进入到数字时代,数字经济的快速发展已经让传统的监管制度难以适应,与时俱进的国家治理体系建设已经迫在眉睫。为此,我国需要创新监管制度,运用大数据、区块链等技术手段,建立适应数字经济特点的监管体系,加强对数字市场的监管,维护市场秩序,促进数字经济的健康发展。国家治理体系现代化与时俱进的转变是推进实现治理体系和治理能力现代化的关键,更是推动社会主义市场经济高质量发展的必然要求。
(III) From the Perspective of Key Objectives: Assisting in Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Socialist Market Economy
(三)从关键目标看,助力推动社会主义市场经济高质量发展
High-quality economic development is the key task of comprehensively deepening reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "High-quality development is the primary task in building a modern socialist country in all respects. We must guide reform with the new development philosophy, base ourselves on the new stage of development, deepen supply-side structural reform, improve incentive and constraint mechanisms for promoting high-quality development, and foster new drivers and new advantages for development." [20]20 Xi Jinping, "Explanation on the 'Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization'," *People's Daily*, July 22, 2024. This requires that when systematically and integratively advancing comprehensive deepening of reform, we must focus on optimizing the industrial structure as a whole, coordinating regional development, and dynamically monitoring the development situation.
经济高质量发展是全面深化改革的关键任务。习近平总书记强调:“高质量发展是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的首要任务。必须以新发展理念引领改革,立足新发展阶段,深化供给侧结构性改革,完善推动高质量发展激励约束机制,塑造发展新动能新优势。”这就要求我们系统集成推进全面深化改革时须从整体优化产业结构、协调推进区域发展和动态监测发展情况上下功夫。
The holistic principle of systematic integration indicates that optimizing the industrial structure is a key link in promoting high-quality economic development. The holism of systematic integration emphasizes viewing each part as an organic whole and optimizing the combination of elements from an overall perspective. In the economic field, the industrial structure is an important component of the economic system and also a key link in promoting the high-quality development of the socialist market economy. Achieving the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure and its overall layout is crucial to the success or failure of promoting high-quality economic development. To achieve industrial structure optimization, on the one hand, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of resource allocation by integrating resources across industries, rationally allocating labor, capital, technology, and other resources to different industries, avoiding resource misallocation and waste. On the other hand, it is necessary to promote coordinated development among industries, fostering mutual exchange, cooperation, and integration between different industries, enabling them to achieve synergistic progress. Through benign interaction between industries, the stability and resilience of the economic system are enhanced, ultimately promoting high-quality economic development.
系统集成的整体性原则表明产业结构优化是推动经济高质量发展的关键环节。系统集成的整体性强调将各部分视为有机整体,从全局出发优化要素组合。在经济领域,产业结构是经济系统的重要组成部分,也是推动社会主义市场经济高质量发展的关键环节,实现产业结构优化升级和整体布局事关推动经济高质量发展的成功与否。实现产业结构优化,一方面要提升资源配置效率,通过整合各产业资源,将劳动力、资金、技术等资源合理分配到不同产业,避免资源错配与浪费。另一方面要促进产业间协同发展,推动不同产业相互交流、合作、融汇,促使不同产业实现协同共进。二者之间通过产业间良性互动,增强经济系统的稳定性与韧性,最终推动经济高质量发展。
The synergy principle of systematic integration indicates that coordinated regional development is an important means of promoting high-quality economic development. The synergy of systematic integration emphasizes the mutual cooperation and coordinated progress of various elements, as well as coordinated regional development. "The regional coordinated development strategy in the New Era should focus on strengthening synergy with major regional strategies, achieving coordinated regional development by adapting to circumstances and adopting multiple measures simultaneously." [21]21 See the relevant discussion in the *Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization*. Coordinated regional development can strengthen industrial synergy and complementarity between regions, narrow regional economic development gaps, achieve interconnection of infrastructure, co-construction and sharing of the ecological environment, and realize balanced development of the national economy. Different regions have different resource endowments and industrial foundations; in coordinated development, they can engage in industrial division of labor and cooperation based on their own advantages. Moreover, coordinated regional development can break down regional segmentation caused by geographical differences, further promoting inter-regional business cooperation, trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, thereby forming an inclusive, open, orderly competitive, and vibrant market system. Systematically and integratively advancing coordinated regional development will become an important means of expanding enterprise market scope, achieving economies of scale, reducing enterprise production costs, and improving the efficiency of the market economy. At the same time, the expansion of market scale also helps to promote coordinated regional development, thereby attracting more investment, stimulating market vitality and creativity, and promoting high-quality economic development.
系统集成的协同性原则表明区域协调发展是推动经济高质量发展的重要手段。系统集成的协同性强调各要素相互配合、协同共进,区域协调发展。“新时代区域协调发展战略应着力强化与区域重大战略的协同性,实现区域协调发展的顺势而为、多措并举。”区域协调发展能够加强区域间的产业协同和产业互补,缩小地区经济发展差距,实现基础设施互联互通,生态环境共建共享,实现全国经济的均衡发展。各区域资源禀赋和产业基础不同,在协同发展中,能依据自身优势进行产业分工与合作。而且,区域协调发展能够打破因地域差异导致的区域分割,进一步促进区域间商业合作、贸易和投资自由化、便利化,从而形成包容开放、竞争有序、充满活力的市场体系。系统集成推进区域协调发展将成为扩大企业市场范围,实现规模经济,降低企业生产成本,提高市场经济效益的重要手段。与此同时,市场规模的扩大同时又有助于推动区域协调发展,从而吸引更多的投资,激发市场活力和创造力,推动经济高质量发展。
The dynamic principle of systematic integration indicates that implementing dynamic monitoring is an important support for promoting high-quality economic development. The dynamism of systematic integration emphasizes that the system must constantly adjust and optimize according to environmental changes. In the process of economic development, implementing dynamic monitoring is an important support for promoting high-quality economic development. From the microeconomic level, establishing a dynamic monitoring system can capture market information in real time, helping enterprises adjust production strategies in a timely manner based on dynamic monitoring data, and research, develop, and manufacture products that meet market demand. From the macroeconomic level, dynamically monitoring macroeconomic development trends and key indicators helps the government promptly grasp the state of economic operations, implement precise policies based on monitoring results, use scientific fiscal and monetary policies to regulate the market economy, ensure the orderly and stable development of the market economy, and provide an important basis for high-quality economic development. At the same time, dynamic monitoring should not only focus on quantitative indicators of economic growth but also strengthen dynamic monitoring of resource utilization, environmental protection, social livelihood, and other aspects. Through monitoring data, various social problems that arise in the process of market economy development can be discovered and resolved in a timely manner, thereby promoting the coordinated development of the economy and society, and achieving the optimized advancement and goal attainment of high-quality economic development.
系统集成的动态性原则表明实施动态监测是推动经济高质量发展的重要支撑。系统集成的动态性强调系统要根据环境变化不断调整和优化。在经济发展过程中,实施动态监测是推动经济高质量发展的重要支撑。从微观经济层面讲,建立动态监测系统能够实时捕捉市场信息,帮助企业依据动态监测数据,能及时调整生产策略,研发制造适应市场需求的产品;从宏观经济层面讲,动态监测宏观经济发展动态和主要指标,有助于政府及时掌握经济运行状况,根据监测结果精准施策,运用科学的财政政策和货币政策对市场经济进行调控,保障市场经济有序稳定发展,为经济高质量发展提供重要依据。同时,动态监测不只是关注经济增长的数量指标,而且也应加重对资源利用、环境保护、社会民生等各方面的动态监测。通过监测数据,及时发现和解决市场经济发展过程中出现的各类社会问题,进而促进经济与社会的协调发展,实现经济高质量发展的优化推进和目标达成。
III. The Practical Path of Systematically and Integratively Advancing Comprehensive Deepening of Reform
三、系统集成推进全面深化改革的实践进路
Systematic integration values holism, emphasizes synergy, and takes dynamism into account. Therefore, it requires enhancing the overall effectiveness of comprehensive deepening of reform through methods and strategies such as strengthening the top-level planning of reform systems, emphasizing the synergistic advancement of reform measures, and establishing dynamic adjustment mechanisms for reform, thereby injecting strong impetus into the realization of Chinese-path modernization.
系统集成重视整体性、注重协同性、兼顾动态性,因而要求通过加强改革制度顶层规划、注重改革举措协同共进、建立改革机制动态调整等方法策略来提升全面深化改革的整体效能,为实现中国式现代化注入强大动力。
(I) Adhere to the Principle of Holism and Emphasize the Top-Level Design of Institutional Construction
(一)坚持整体性原则,注重制度建设的顶层设计
Institutional construction holds pivotal strategic significance in the process of comprehensively deepening reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "Adhere to taking institutional construction as the main line, strengthen top-level design and overall planning, establish the new while abolishing the old, establish before abolishing, consolidate fundamental institutions, improve basic institutions, and innovate important institutions." [22]22 Xi Jinping, "Explanation on the 'Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization'," *People's Daily*, July 22, 2024. This indicates that the top-level design of reform institutions requires proceeding from the overall situation, using systematic integration methods to formulate reform plans, clarify reform goals, develop and improve fundamental institutions, basic institutions, and important institutions, and achieve the systematic integration of institutional construction, thereby building a solid institutional guarantee for further advancing comprehensive deepening of reform. Institutional construction is an important method for comprehensively deepening reform. Systematic integration in institutional construction requires a profound grasp of the organic relationship among fundamental institutions, basic institutions, and important institutions. In institutional construction, fundamental institutions are the "trunk," determining the nature of the institutional system and possessing the highest authority and leadership for further advancing comprehensive deepening of reform; basic institutions are the "branches," representing the refinement and expansion of the framework content of fundamental institutions in the comprehensive deepening of reform; important institutions are the "leaves," serving as the concrete forms of practice for fundamental and basic institutions, ensuring that the systems for further advancing comprehensive deepening of reform take effect and are implemented on the ground. As Mao Zedong said: "To build the house of the Chinese revolution, we must first have a blueprint for the Chinese revolution. Not only must there be a large blueprint, a general blueprint, but there must also be many small blueprints, sub-blueprints." [23]23 Mao Zedong, "The Struggle in the Jinggang Mountains," *Selected Works of Mao Zedong*, Vol. 1, People's Publishing House, 1991, p. 113. This refers to the top-level design of the revolution. In the New Era, further advancing comprehensive deepening of reform likewise requires having a "large blueprint, a general blueprint." Doing a good job of top-level design in institutional construction is to systematically plan the large blueprint, general blueprint, and small blueprints for comprehensively deepening reform. Further comprehensively deepening reform, as a complex systematic project, proceeding from the macro level to carry out top-level design also helps to clarify the key points and difficulties of reform, grasp the principal contradiction and secondary contradictions of reform, and can draw a clear "design blueprint" for further advancing reform. Taking fundamental institutions as the "foundation," basic institutions as the "skeleton," and important institutions as the "flesh and blood," a socialist system with Chinese characteristics that is clearly layered and mutually supportive is formed, building a solid institutional guarantee for further advancing comprehensive deepening of reform.
制度建设在全面深化改革进程中具有举足轻重的战略意义。习近平总书记强调,“坚持以制度建设为主线,加强顶层设计、整体谋划,破立并举、先立后破,筑牢根本制度,完善基本制度,创新重要制度”,这表明改革制度的顶层设计要求从全局出发,运用系统集成方法制订改革方案、明确改革目标、发展和完善根本制度、基本制度、重要制度,实现制度建设的系统集成,从而为进一步推进全面深化改革构建坚实的制度保障。制度建设是全面深化改革的重要方法,系统集成进行制度建设要深刻把握根本制度、基本制度、重要制度间的有机关系。在制度建设中,根本制度是“主干”,决定了制度体系的性质,对进一步推进全面深化改革具有最高权威性和统领性;基本制度是“枝干”,是对根本制度框架内容在全面深化改革中的细化和展开;重要制度是“枝叶”,是根本制度和基本制度的具体践行形式,能够确保进一步推进全面深化改革制度落地见效。正如毛泽东所言:“我们要建筑中国革命这个房屋,也须先有中国革命的图样。不但须有一个大图样,总图样,还须有许多小图样,分图样。”这里说的是革命的顶层设计,新时代进一步推进全面深化改革同样需要有“大图样、总图样”。做好制度建设这个顶层设计,就是系统规划了全面深化改革的大图样、总图样和小图样。进一步全面深化改革作为一项复杂的系统工程,从宏观层面出发进行顶层设计,还有助于明确改革的重点、难点,抓住改革的主要矛盾和次要矛盾,能够为进一步推进改革绘制清晰“设计图”。以根本制度为“根基”,以基本制度为“骨架”,以重要制度为“血肉”,形成层次分明、相互支撑的中国特色社会主义制度体系,构建起进一步推进全面深化改革的坚实制度保障。
Further comprehensively deepening reform encompasses multiple fields and levels; strengthening the top-level design of the reform system requires correctly grasping the hierarchical nature, phasing, and priority of reform goals. Some scholars have proposed: “From a hierarchical perspective, it can be divided into the overall goal of reform and the sub-goals of various fields; from a temporal perspective, it can be divided into the fundamental goal and the phased goals of reform; from a priority perspective, it can be divided into the primary goal and the secondary goals of reform.” [24]24 See Wei Liqun, “Several Issues on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform,” *Administrative Reform*, 2024, no. 8. Overall, the overall goal, fundamental goal, and primary goal of reform point the direction and path for further comprehensively deepening reform, while the sub-goals, phased goals, and secondary goals of various fields enhance the operability and measurability of reform. Clear reform goals are the fundamental guiding principle for strengthening top-level design. To achieve reform goals, specific sub-goals, phased goals, and secondary goals must be set at different stages, but always centering on the overall goal, fundamental goal, and primary goal, systematically planning reforms in various fields to ensure that reforms in all fields advance collaboratively toward this common goal, thereby breaking down barriers between departments and regions and achieving optimal allocation of resources. The hierarchical nature, phasing, and priority of the goals of comprehensively deepening reform not only require that reform goals align with each other but also that reform goals be refined and quantified according to actual development conditions, providing the correct direction and clear tasks for the advancement of reform.
进一步全面深化改革涵盖多领域多层面,加强改革制度的顶层设计要正确把握改革目标的层次性、阶段性、优先级。有学者提出:“从层次性来把握,可以分为改革的总目标与各领域的分目标;从时间性来把握,可以分为改革的根本目标和阶段目标;从优先级来把握,可以分为改革的主要目标和次要目标。”总体来看,改革的总目标、根本目标和主要目标为进一步全面深化改革指明了方向和道路,而各领域的分目标、阶段目标、次要目标则增强了改革的可操作性和可衡量性。明确的改革目标是加强顶层设计的根本遵循,实现改革目标,要在不同阶段设定具体的分目标、阶段目标、次要目标,但要始终围绕总目标、根本目标和主要目标,对各领域的改革进行系统规划,确保各领域改革都朝着这一共同目标协同推进,以打破部门、地区之间的壁垒,实现资源的优化配置。全面深化改革的目标层次性、阶段性、优先级不仅要求改革目标之间要相互契合,还要求改革目标必须根据实际发展情况进行了细化和量化,为改革的推进提供了正确的方向和明确的任务。
(II) Emphasize the principle of synergy, coordinating the connection and joint progress of reform measures
(二)注重协同性原则,统筹改革举措的衔接共进
Coordinating the overall situation and advancing synergistically is an important working method formed by the Party in the processes of revolution, construction, and reform. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC clearly stated, “Strengthen system integration, enhance the overall planning and systematic layout of reform, so that reforms in all aspects coordinate with each other and are synergistically efficient.” [25]25 “Communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,” *People’s Daily*, July 19, 2024. Systematically advancing comprehensively deepening reform requires not only the synergistic joint progress of reform measures in different fields but also the front-to-back coherence of reform measures within the same field.
统筹全局、协同推进是党在革命、建设和改革过程中形成的重要工作方法。党的二十届三中全会明确指出,“强化系统集成,加强对改革整体谋划、系统布局,使各方面改革相互配合、协同高效”,系统推进全面深化改革既要做到不同领域改革举措的协同共进,也要做到同一领域改革举措的前后呼应。
First, the systematic and complex nature of comprehensively deepening reform requires emphasizing the principle of synergy, coordinating the connection and joint progress of reform measures. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, “under the framework of comprehensively advancing the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and coordinating the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, further comprehensively deepens reform, and coordinates the deployment of economic system reform and reforms in other fields.” [26]26 Xi Jinping, “Explanation on the ‘Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization’,” *People’s Daily*, July 22, 2024. The “Decision” makes a systematic deployment for further comprehensively deepening reform from the “seven focal points” and the “fourteen key areas.” [27]27 The “seven focal points” and “fourteen key areas” refer to the main structural divisions of the reform plan adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, outlining priority areas and specific sectors for reform. The interconnectedness and complexity between fields determine that comprehensively deepening reform should coordinate reform measures and advance reforms synergistically. Only by scientifically grasping the interrelationships within and between various fields, links, and departments of reform can reform goals be focused and unified, reform measures coordinate with each other, and reform results complement each other. In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We say we must be bold in our steps and steady in our steps, where being steady in our steps means comprehensive consideration, thorough argumentation, and scientific decision-making. Reforms in various social fields and Party building reform are closely linked and interact with each other; reform in any one field will affect other fields, and at the same time requires close cooperation from reforms in other fields.” [28]28 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Symposium on Further Promoting the Yangtze River Delta Integration and Development,” *People’s Daily*, November 6, 2023. Reform is “a move in one part may affect the whole situation”; problems arising in any link or field of reform will affect other links or even the overall operation of reform. Therefore, only through coordinated advancement can we play the “national chess game” well, [29]29 “National chess game” (全国一盘棋) is a Chinese idiom meaning to coordinate all activities as part of a single, unified plan for the whole country. ensuring that the development goals of various fields, links, and departments of reform focus their efforts, measures cooperate to tackle difficulties, and results mutually drive each other, guaranteeing the continuous deepening of the reform process and the stable and long-term progress of the reform path.
首先,全面深化改革的系统性和复杂性要求注重协同性原则,统筹改革举措的衔接共进。党的二十届三中全会“在统筹推进‘五位一体’总体布局、协调推进‘四个全面’战略布局框架谋划下进一步全面深化改革,统筹部署经济体制改革和其他各领域改革”。《决定》从“七个聚焦”和“十四个重点领域”对进一步全面深化改革作出了系统部署,各领域之间的关联性与复杂性决定了全面深化改革应当统筹改革举措、协同推进改革。科学把握改革各领域、各环节、各部门之间及其内部之间的相互关系,才能促使改革目标聚焦统一、改革举措相互配合、改革成效相得益彰。对此,习近平总书记指出:“我们讲胆子要大、步子要稳,其中步子要稳就是要统筹考虑、全面论证、科学决策。社会各领域改革和党的建设改革紧密联系、相互交流,任何一个领域的改革都会牵动其他领域,同时也需要其他领域改革密切配合。”改革“牵一发而动全身”,改革任何一个环节和领域上出现的问题,都会影响改革的其他环节甚至是全局运行,所以只有统筹推进才能下好“全国一盘棋”,保持改革各领域、各环节、各部门的发展目标聚焦发力、措施配合攻坚、成效相互牵引,保证改革进程持续深化,改革道路行稳致远。
Second, reform measures in different fields are interrelated and mutually influential; building an effective coordination mechanism is key to achieving the mutual cooperation and synergistic advancement of these reform measures. From the actual situation, economic system reform often has a profound impact on various fields, and vice versa. When advancing economic system reform, building a high-level socialist market economy system requires the government to transform its functions, both reducing direct intervention in the micro-economy and strengthening macro-control and market supervision. This requires political system reform to adapt accordingly, advancing government institutional reform, optimizing the allocation of government functions, improving administrative efficiency, and creating a favorable institutional environment for the development of the market economy. Thus, reform is not a simple superposition of subsystems but a unified whole of multi-level integration. The mutual influence and mutual constraint relationships between various fields of reform are vast and complex system elements. The formulation of reform measures must never be done hastily; only by systematically integrating and grasping the interrelationships between fields and formulating reform measures that promote each other and create a virtuous cycle can a favorable environment be created for comprehensively deepening reform.
其次,不同领域的改革举措相互关联、相互影响,构建有效的协同机制是实现这些改革举措相互配合、协同推进的关键所在。从实际情况来看,经济体制改革往往会对各领域产生深远影响,反之亦然。在推进经济体制改革时,构建高水平社会主义市场经济体制,需要政府转变职能,既要减少对微观经济的直接干预,还要加强宏观调控和市场监管。这就要求政治体制改革与之相适应,推进政府机构改革,优化政府职能配置,提高行政效率,为市场经济发展创造良好的制度环境。由此可见,改革不是各子系统的简单叠加,而是多层次交融的统一整体,改革的各领域的相互影响、相互制约关系是庞大且复杂的系统要素,改革举措的制度绝不能草草了事,只有系统集成地把握各领域的相互关系,制定相互促进,良性循环的改革举措,才能为全面深化改革营造良好的环境。
Finally, reform in the same field is a process of continuous advancement and deepening. Emphasizing the front-to-back coherence of reform measures, ensuring continuity and inheritance, and avoiding conflicts and contradictions are crucial to the success of reform. The construction of the basic rural management system is a key issue for further comprehensively deepening reform in the field of rural agricultural development. Although we have established a sound basic rural management system, with the deepening of reform, new development issues have also been raised. In this regard, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC further pointed out: “Orderly advance the pilot project of extending the second round of land contracts for another 30 years upon expiration, deepen the reform of separating the ownership, contracting rights, and management rights of contracted land, and develop agricultural operations of appropriate scale.” [30]30 “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Path Modernization,” *People’s Daily*, July 22, 2024. Thus, reform in any field is not achieved overnight but is gradually advanced in different stages according to development needs and actual conditions. This requires that reform measures at various stages form organic connections and promote each other. To achieve front-to-back coherence of reform measures in the same field, when formulating reform plans, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and summarization of the historical process of reform, clarify the goals of phased reforms, identify shortcomings in the reform process, and combine development needs and changes in the situation to formulate reform measures that conform to actual conditions.
最后,同一领域的改革是一个持续推进、不断深化的过程,注重改革举措的前后呼应,保证连贯性和继承性,避免冲突和矛盾,对于改革的成功至关重要。农村基本经营制度的建设是进一步全面深化改革在农村农业发展领域的重点问题,尽管我们已经建立了完善的农村基本经营制度,但随着改革的深化,也提出了新的发展问题。对此,党的二十届三中全会进一步指出:“有序推进第二轮土地承包到期后再延长三十年试点,深化承包地所有权、承包权、经营权分置改革,发展农业适当规模经营。”由此可见,任何一个领域的改革都不是一蹴而就的,而是在不同阶段根据发展需求和实际情况逐步推进的,这就要求各个阶段的改革举措之间形成有机联系,相互促进。为了实现同一领域改革举措的前后呼应,在制定改革方案时,需要对改革的历史进程进行深入研究和总结,明确阶段改革的目标,找出改革过程不足,结合发展需求和形势变化,才能制定符合实际情况的改革举措。
(III) Apply the principle of dynamism, establishing a dynamic adjustment mechanism for reform
(三)运用动态性原则,建立改革的动态调整机制
Reform is a dynamic process; only by scientifically grasping the dynamic changes in the movement of contradictions in things can comprehensive deepening of reform advance in the desired direction. In this regard, "we must be adept at using reform thinking and reform methods,统筹考虑短期应对和中长期发展,既要在战略上布好局,也要在关键处落好子." [31]31 Xi Jinping, speech at the 21st meeting of the Central Committee for Deepening Overall Reform, September 1, 2021. The Chinese phrase "统筹考虑短期应对和中长期发展,既要在战略上布好局,也要在关键处落好子" means "to make overall plans considering short-term responses and medium- to long-term development, both laying out the strategy well and making good moves at key points." Comprehensive deepening of reform is a powerful driving force for realizing Chinese-path modernization, and Chinese-path modernization is an important goal of comprehensive deepening of reform. Only by establishing a dynamic adjustment mechanism for reform can reform better adapt to environmental changes, promptly correct deviations that arise during the reform process, and ensure that further comprehensive deepening of reform始终紧扣实现中国式现代化这一目标. In the process of comprehensive deepening of reform, the constantly changing domestic and international economic and social development situations, as well as the evolving needs of the people, require timely adjustments to reform measures. Otherwise, the effects of reform may be greatly diminished, or even deviate from the expected goals. In this regard, "we must take reform as the driving force to promote stable growth, adjust structures, and prevent risks, fully leverage the牵引作用 of economic system reform, and promptly introduce a batch of reform measures that are mature in conditions and tangible and perceptible." [32]32 Xi Jinping, speech at a symposium on economic and social development, July 2023. The phrase "牵引作用" (traction role) refers to the leading or pulling effect of economic system reform on other reforms. From the perspective of the domestic and international economic and social development situation, adjustments in the global economic landscape, the rapid development of the technological revolution, and China's economic development entering a new normal have all profoundly impacted China's further comprehensive deepening of reform. Faced with increasing international trade frictions and the reshaping of global industrial and supply chains, China's opening-up strategy needs timely adjustments. While maintaining the stability of relevant reform measures, it must, in light of the situation and development needs, conduct self-regulation, self-improvement, and self-development according to the times and circumstances, ensuring that reform advances in a coordinated, stable, and orderly manner. As reform deepens, contradictions and problems accumulated in various fields and links will emerge. This requires that all links and departments dynamically adjust reform measures,统筹各方力量 in a dynamic balance to ensure the smooth realization of reform goals. In light of the current international and domestic development situation, China's industrial policies are undergoing dynamic adjustments, increasing the cultivation of the domestic demand market, promoting the mutual reinforcement of domestic and international dual circulation, accelerating and enhancing the efficiency of industrial upgrading, promoting the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and improving the core competitiveness of industries, in order to cope with the uncertainties of the external environment.
改革是一个动态的过程,只有科学把握事物矛盾运动的动态变化,才能使全面深化改革朝着理想的方向运行。对此,“要善于运用改革思维和改革办法,统筹考虑短期应对和中长期发展,既要在战略上布好局,也要在关键处落好子。”全面深化改革是推动中国式现代化实现的强大动力,中国式现代化是全面深化改革的重要目标,只有建立改革动态调整机制,才能够使改革更好地适应环境变化,及时纠正改革过程中出现的偏差,确保进一步全面深化改革始终紧扣实现中国式现代化这一目标。在全面深化改革的进程中,国内外经济社会发展形势以及人民群众需求的不断变化都要求改革举措及时调整,否则,就可能导致改革效果大打折扣,甚至偏离预期目标。对此,“要以改革为动力促进稳增长、调结构、防风险,充分发挥经济体制改革的牵引作用,及时推出一批条件成熟、可感可及的改革举措。”从国内外经济社会发展形势来看,全球经济格局的调整、科技革命的迅猛发展以及我国经济发展进入新常态,都对我国进一步全面深化改革产生了深刻影响。面对国际贸易摩擦不断加剧和全球产业链供应链重塑的形势,我国的对外开放战略需要及时进行调整,在保持相关改革举措稳定的情况下,结合局势和发展需要,因时因地进行自我调节、自我完善、自我发展,保持改革协同、稳定、有序推进。随着改革的持续深化,以往各领域、各环节积累的矛盾和问题会显现出来,这就要求各环节、各部门动态调整改革举措,在动态平衡中统筹各方力量以确保改革目标顺利实现。结合当前国际国内发展形势,我国的产业政策正在动态调整,加大内需市场的培育,推动国内国际双循环相互促进,促使产业升级提速增效,促进产业结构优化升级,提高产业的核心竞争力,才能应对外部环境的不确定性。
"In advancing any major reform, we must stand on the people's standpoint to grasp and handle the major issues involved in the reform, and must plan reform ideas and formulate reform measures from the perspective of the people's interests." [33]33 Xi Jinping, speech at the 12th collective study session of the Politburo of the 19th CPC Central Committee, December 2018. Entering the new stage of development, with the continuous improvement of people's wellbeing, the people's pursuit of a better life has shown a connotative leap. This evolution of needs is not only reflected in the improvement of quality and expansion of material and cultural life but also extends in a three-dimensional manner to dimensions such as institutional recognition of democracy and the rule of law, value realization of fairness and justice, the level of public security guarantees, and the livability quality of ecological governance. This requires that comprehensive deepening of reform must cover many fields of social development, thus necessitating the systematic integration of comprehensive deepening of reform. At the same time, it further requires dynamic adjustments to reform measures. For example, reforms in areas of people's livelihood such as education, healthcare, and elderly care need to be continuously adjusted according to the new needs of the people, thereby meeting the diverse and individualized needs of the people. As some scholars have stated: "Only by practically implementing institutional guarantees to meet the people's aspirations for a better life can we effectively respond to the fundamental orientation of further comprehensive deepening of reform to enhance people's wellbeing, and promote Chinese-path modernization with the great power of the people creating history." [34]34 Reference to a contemporary Chinese scholar's work on reform and people's wellbeing; the specific source is not identified in the original text. It can be seen that systematically integrating and advancing comprehensive deepening of reform is a long-term project. Only by establishing a dynamic adjustment mechanism for reform, which both emphasizes the strategic stability of top-level design and strengthens the dynamic optimization of the implementation process, can we inject vitality into the realization of Chinese-path modernization.
“推进任何一项重大改革,都要站在人民立场上把握和处理好涉及改革的重大问题,都要从人民利益出发谋划改革思路、制定改革举措。”进入新发展阶段,随着民生福祉的持续增进,人民群众对美好生活的追求呈现出内涵式跃升。这种需求演变不仅体现在物质文化生活的提质扩容上,更在民主法治的制度认同、公平正义的价值实现、公共安全的保障能级、生态治理的宜居品质等维度形成立体化延伸。就要求全面深化改革必须覆盖社会发展的众多领域,因而就要求系统集成推进全面深化改革。同时更进一步要求改革举措的动态调整,如教育、医疗、养老等民生领域的改革需要根据人民群众的新需求不断调整,从而满足人民群众多样化、个性化的需求。正如有学者所说的:“只有在实践中将制度保障落到满足人民美好生活向往的实处,才能有效呼应进一步全面深化改革增进人民福祉的根本指向,并以人民创造历史的伟力推进中国式现代化。”可见,系统集成推进全面深化改革是一项长期工程,只有建立改革的动态调整机制,既注重顶层设计的战略定力,又强化实施过程的动态优化,才能为实现中国式现代化注入时代活力。
Conclusion
结语
System integration, as the core methodology of comprehensive deepening of reform in the New Era, has fully demonstrated its theoretical and practical value in the process of advancing Chinese-path modernization. This paper, by constructing a three-in-one analytical framework of "theoretical foundation—target orientation—practical approach," systematically explains the generative logic, value logic, and practical logic of system integration. First, system integration has profound theoretical origins and distinct contemporary connotations. It is rooted in the holistic, systematic, and dynamic requirements of Marxist systematic thinking, draws on the wisdom of systematic thinking from traditional Chinese philosophy such as "unity of heaven and man" and "yin-yang and five elements," [35]35 "Unity of heaven and man" (天人合一) is a core concept in traditional Chinese philosophy emphasizing harmony between nature and humanity. "Yin-yang and five elements" (阴阳五行) is a classical Chinese cosmological system describing the interaction of opposing forces (yin and yang) and five fundamental elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). borrows the holistic, relational, and dynamic principles of modern systems science, and crystallizes the Party's valuable experience in applying systematic concepts in the New Era, together constituting the theoretical support for system integration as a scientific reform methodology. Second, system integration guides the direction of reform with a multi-level target system. Its practical orientation is embodied in the basic goal of perfecting and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the fundamental goal of advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and the key goal of promoting high-quality economic development. These three levels are progressive and organically unified, jointly serving the comprehensive advancement of Chinese-path modernization. Finally, system integration emphasizes a systematic practical path of "top-level design—coordinated progress—dynamic adjustment." In institutional construction, it focuses on the overall coordination of fundamental systems, basic systems, and important systems; in advancing reform, it emphasizes the connection and coordination of cross-field and cross-level policy measures; in mechanism operation, it establishes a dynamic monitoring and feedback adjustment system, thereby comprehensively enhancing the systematicness, holism, and adaptability of reform. With its distinct Chinese characteristics and powerful practical efficacy, the methodology of system integration constructs the logical framework for reform and innovation in the New Era, providing important path support for transforming institutional advantages into governance effectiveness and for promoting the steady and long-term advancement of Chinese-path modernization. To further comprehensively deepen reform, we must adhere to the systematic concept, strengthen system integration, and continuously advance the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity at the intersection of historical logic and the demands of the times.
系统集成作为新时代全面深化改革的核心方法论,其理论与实践价值已在推进中国式现代化的进程中充分彰显。本文通过构建“理论根基—目标指向—实践进路”三位一体的分析框架,系统阐释了系统集成的生成逻辑、价值逻辑与实践逻辑。首先,系统集成具有深厚的理论源流与鲜明的时代内涵。它植根于马克思主义系统思维的整体性、系统性与动态性要求,汲取了中国传统哲学“天人合一”“阴阳五行”等系统思想智慧,借鉴了现代系统科学的整体、关联与动态原则,并凝结了党在新时代运用系统观念的宝贵经验,共同构成了系统集成作为科学改革方法论的理论支撑。其次,系统集成以多层次目标体系引领改革方向。其实践指向集中体现为完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度的基础目标、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的根本目标,以及推动经济高质量发展的关键目标,三者层层递进、有机统一,共同服务于中国式现代化的全面推进。最后,系统集成强调“顶层设计—协同共进—动态调整”的系统化实践路径。在制度建设上注重根本制度、基本制度与重要制度的整体协同;在改革推进中注重跨领域、跨层级政策举措的衔接配合;在机制运行上建立动态监测与反馈调适体系,从而全面提升改革的系统性、整体性与适应性。系统集成方法论以其鲜明的中国特质与强大的实践效能,构建起新时代改革创新的逻辑框架,为实现制度优势向治理效能的转化、推动中国式现代化行稳致远提供了重要路径支撑。进一步全面深化改革,必须坚持系统观念,强化系统集成,在历史逻辑与时代要求的交汇中持续推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化。
