The Achievements and Experience of “China’s Governance” in the New Era

The international situation is interwoven with turbulence and change, and the changes unseen in a century in the world are accelerating. “China’s governance” and “the chaos of the West” form a stark contrast. As a practical model for developing countries exploring the path to modernization, “China’s governance” in the New Era not only answers the major proposition of “advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity,” but also contributes Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the world’s exploration of new governance paths and the reform and improvement of the global governance system.

国际局势变乱交织，世界百年未有之大变局加速演进，“中国之治”与“西方之乱”形成鲜明对比。作为发展中国家探索现代化道路的实践样本，新时代“中国之治”不仅是对“推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化”这一重大命题的回答，更为世界各国探索新的治理路径，改革完善全球治理体系，贡献了中国智慧和中国方案。

Fully Recognize the Important Achievements of “China’s Governance” in the New Era

充分认识新时代“中国之治”的重要成就

“China’s governance” is a concentrated summary of the achievements and experience in advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It is a prominent manifestation of the advantages of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity in the New Era. In the New Era, “China’s governance” follows the principles of upholding the Party’s overall leadership, adhering to a people-centered approach, insisting on optimization, synergy, and efficiency, and adhering to law-based governance. It continuously deepens reform, strengthens social governance, promotes high-quality development, and expands high-standard opening up, providing a strong guarantee for historic achievements and historic transformations in the cause of the Party and the state.

“中国之治”是在中国共产党领导下，推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的成就与经验的集中概括，是新时代国家治理体系和治理能力现代化优势的突出体现。新时代“中国之治”按照坚持党的全面领导、坚持以人民为中心、坚持优化协同高效、坚持全面依法治国的原则，不断深化改革，加强社会治理，推动高质量发展，扩大高水平对外开放，为党和国家事业取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革提供有力保障。

The continuous transformation of institutional advantages into governance effectiveness. The key to “China’s governance” lies in the Party. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has adopted a series of major strategic measures, upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership, and focusing on solving the problems of the weakening, hollowing out, dilution, and marginalization of Party leadership that existed in the past period. This has achieved major political, theoretical, institutional, and practical results.

制度优势向治理效能持续转化。“中国之治”关键在党。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央采取一系列重大战略举措，坚持和加强党的全面领导，着力解决过去一段时间里落实党的领导弱化、虚化、淡化、边缘化问题，取得重大政治成果、理论成果、制度成果、实践成果。

The foundation of “China’s governance” lies in “China’s system.” [1]1 “China’s system” (中国之制) is a play on words with “China’s governance” (中国之治), referring to the institutional framework of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The key to solving the contradictions and problems faced in national development lies in deepening institutional reform. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee first proposed the major proposition of “advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity,” and established “improving and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity” as the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform. [2]2 The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee was held in November 2013. The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues Concerning Upholding and Improving the System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Advancing the Modernization of the National Governance System and Governance Capacity, adopted at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, comprehensively summarized the significant advantages of “China’s governance” from 13 aspects. [3]3 The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee was held in October 2019. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed the overall goal of further comprehensively deepening reform—continuing to improve and develop the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

“中国之治”的基础在于“中国之制”。解决国家发展中面临的矛盾问题，关键在于深化制度改革。党的十八届三中全会首次提出“推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化”这个重大命题，并把“完善和发展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”确定为全面深化改革的总目标。党的十九届四中全会通过的《中共中央关于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若干重大问题的决定》，从13个方面全面总结了“中国之治”的显著优势。党的二十届三中全会提出进一步全面深化改革的总目标——继续完善和发展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。

A Profound Summary of the Main Experience of “China’s Governance” in the New Era

深刻总结新时代“中国之治”的主要经验

Party leadership is the fundamental political guarantee for the success of “China’s governance.” Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to the issue of national governance. By comprehensively advancing the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and coordinating the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, it has driven the socialist system with Chinese characteristics to become more complete, significantly raised the level of modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and provided a strong guarantee for historic changes in the cause of the Party and the state. We adhere to the overall leadership of the Party, firmly uphold the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, give play to the Party’s core leadership role in exercising overall leadership and coordinating the efforts of all sides, and integrate Party leadership into every aspect and the entire process of reform, ensuring that reform always advances in the correct political direction. To govern the country, the Party must first be governed strictly; only when the Party thrives can the country be strong. In June 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech during the 15th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee [6]6 The 15th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, held on June 27, 2024, focused on the topic of improving the system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. pointed the way for further improving the system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. To improve this system, we must improve the organizational system that is vertically integrated and effectively implemented, improve the education system that consolidates the foundation and gathers strength, improve the supervision system that precisely targets problems and addresses both symptoms and root causes, improve the institutional system that is scientifically complete, effective, and practical, and improve the responsibility system with clear subjects and clear requirements.

党的领导是“中国之治”取得成功的根本政治保证。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视国家治理问题，通过统筹推进“五位一体”总体布局、协调推进“四个全面”战略布局，推动中国特色社会主义制度更加完善，国家治理体系和治理能力现代化水平明显提高，为党和国家事业发生历史性变革提供有力保障。坚持党的全面领导，坚定维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，发挥党总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用，把党的领导贯穿改革各方面全过程，确保改革始终沿着正确政治方向前进。治国必先治党，党兴才能国强。2024年6月，习近平总书记在中共中央政治局第十五次集体学习时的重要讲话，为进一步健全全面从严治党体系指明了方向。健全全面从严治党体系，要健全上下贯通、执行有力的组织体系，健全固本培元、凝心铸魂的教育体系，健全精准发力、标本兼治的监管体系，健全科学完备、有效管用的制度体系，健全主体明确、要求清晰的责任体系。

We adhere to the people-centered development philosophy. We consistently uphold the people-centered development philosophy, respect the people’s principal position and their pioneering spirit, ensure that reform responds to the people’s needs, and insist that reform is carried out for the people, relies on the people, and that the fruits of reform are shared by the people. We deepen the reform of the systems and mechanisms for talent development, accelerate the building of a national strategic talent force, and improve the quality of all types of talent. We continuously improve the institutional system for the people to be the masters of the country, enrich democratic forms at all levels, and expand the people’s orderly political participation by holding village (residential) councils, democratic consultation meetings, and democratic hearings in urban and rural communities as platforms for deliberation.

坚持以人民为中心的发展思想。始终坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，尊重人民的主体地位和首创精神，确保改革呼应人民需求，坚持改革为了人民、改革依靠人民、改革成果由人民共享。深化人才发展体制机制改革，加快建设国家战略人才力量，提高各类人才素质。不断完善人民当家作主的制度体系，丰富各层级民主形式，通过举行城乡社区村（居）民议事会、民主恳谈会、民主听证会等议事平台，扩大人民有序政治参与。

We improve the governance mechanisms of townships (subdistricts) and villages (communities). We coordinate the empowerment and burden reduction of grassroots units, promote the tilt of resources, services, and management toward the grassroots, build an institutional system that unifies the powers, responsibilities, and interests of townships (subdistricts), improve their service and management capabilities, clarify the scope of their duties, and pilot the implementation of an access mechanism for village (community) affairs.

加强民生导向的政策设计，推动公共服务均等化、社会保障体系完善。持续深化社会救助制度改革，形成覆盖广泛的社会救助格局，关心关爱特殊群体，保障困难群体平等享受公共服务，提升社会治理的温度。

We pay attention to the dual-track balance between reform and governance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Upholding and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity are major issues concerning the prosperity and development of the Party and the state, the long-term stability of the country, and the happiness and well-being of the people.” [7]7 This quote is from a speech by Xi Jinping at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in November 2013, which set the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform. We must be adept at using the great achievements and valuable experience gained by the Party in leading the people to deeply explore “China’s governance” and carry out comprehensive deepening of reform, and implement principles such as upholding the overall leadership of the Party, adhering to a people-centered approach, upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, taking institutional improvement as the main thread, adhering to law-based governance in all respects, and adhering to a systems perspective.

注重改革与治理的双轨平衡。习近平总书记指出：“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，是关系党和国家事业兴旺发达、国家长治久安、人民幸福安康的重大问题。”要善于运用党领导人民深入探索“中国之治”、进行全面深化改革所取得的伟大成就和宝贵经验，贯彻坚持党的全面领导、坚持以人民为中心、坚持守正创新、坚持以制度建设为主线、坚持全面依法治国、坚持系统观念等原则。

We follow the mass line of the Party well in the New Era. We uphold and develop the “Fengqiao Experience” of the New Era [8]8 The “Fengqiao Experience” originated in the 1960s in Fengqiao Township, Zhejiang Province, as a method of resolving conflicts at the grassroots level through mass line work; it has been continuously updated for the New Era., apply the “Four Work Methods at the Grassroots Level” [9]9 The “Four Work Methods at the Grassroots Level” (四下基层) refers to the practice of leading cadres going to the grassroots to publicize policies, conduct research, receive petitioners, and solve problems on-site. working methods and systems, deeply carry out the reception of petitioners and visits to the grassroots by leading cadres, promptly resolve conflicts and disputes at the grassroots level and in their nascent state, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

We drive dual-wheel progress with technological empowerment and governance modernization. We strengthen the construction of a digital government and enhance the technological empowerment of governance. We continuously strengthen the construction of information infrastructure, enhance the application of digital technologies such as the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain in social governance, vigorously promote the construction of smart cities and smart communities, create “city brains,” deeply integrate digital technology with grid-based governance, and integrate grassroots grids into the larger pattern of grassroots governance.

科技赋能与治理现代化双轮驱动。加强数字政府建设，强化治理的技术赋能。不断加强信息基础设施建设，强化互联网、大数据、人工智能、区块链等数字技术在社会治理中的应用，大力推动智慧城市、智慧社区建设，打造“城市大脑”，将数字技术与网格化治理深度融合，将基层网格融入基层治理大格局。

We build platform-based organizations to promote digital governance. Relying on local data administration bureaus, digital city operation management centers, and the 12345 citizen hotline, we continuously deepen digital governance capabilities. We strengthen information exchange and efficient interaction between government digital governance platforms and the masses, industrial departments, and social organizations, and deliver more high-quality information, social resources, and public services universally, thereby promoting the construction of a “sunshine government” and expanding the forms and channels for people’s participation in public governance and social governance.

Independent innovation and mutual learning among civilizations are closely combined. “China’s governance” is not only an inheritance and development of the fine traditional Chinese culture spanning over five thousand years but has also been gradually enriched and perfected in the long-term historical practice of revolution, construction, and reform led by the Communist Party of China. Especially since the New Era, China, on the basis of strengthening the unified leadership of the Party, has focused on advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. “China’s governance” is based on a profound grasp of universal laws, closely integrated with China’s specific realities, and innovatively develops national governance practices suitable for the country’s conditions. At the same time, it absorbs beneficial governance experiences from other countries around the world, continuously deepens national governance practices, and while promoting its own development, continuously empowers the development of the world.

自主创新与文明互鉴紧密结合。“中国之治”不仅是对五千多年中华优秀传统文化的继承与发扬，更在中国共产党领导的革命、建设和改革的长期历史实践中逐步丰富和完善。特别是新时代以来，我国在强化党的统一领导基础上，着力推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化。“中国之治”既基于对普遍规律的深刻把握，紧密结合中国具体实际，创新性发展适合本国国情的国家治理实践，又吸收世界各国有益治理经验，不断深化国家治理实践，在促进自身发展的同时，为世界的发展不断赋能。

China has proposed original concepts such as “a community with a shared future for mankind,” the “Global Development Initiative,” the “Global Security Initiative,” and the “Global Civilization Initiative,” continuously enriching the discourse system of global governance. In a period of intensified turbulence and change in the international situation, China proposes to revitalize genuine multilateralism, accelerate the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system, and advocates adhering to sovereign equality, upholding fairness and justice, upholding solidarity and cooperation, and upholding an action-oriented approach, providing Chinese solutions for reforming and improving global governance. In the process of the transformation of the global governance system, China is committed to contributing innovative ideas for addressing common challenges and promoting the peaceful resolution of international disputes through practical plans. China advocates building a community with a shared future for mankind characterized by universal security, and takes the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative as a starting point to promote the building of a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, and clean and beautiful. This practical path not only embodies Chinese wisdom but also provides feasible solutions for solving global governance problems.

我国提出“人类命运共同体”“全球发展倡议”“全球安全倡议”“全球文明倡议”等原创性概念，不断丰富全球治理话语体系。在国际形势动荡变革加剧的时期，我国提出重振真正的多边主义，加快构建更加公正合理的全球治理体系，主张坚持主权平等、坚持公平正义、坚持团结协作、坚持行动导向，为改革完善全球治理提供中国方案。在全球治理体系变革进程中，我国致力于为应对共同挑战贡献创新思路，通过务实方案推动国际争端的和平化解。我国倡导构建以普遍安全为特征的人类命运共同体，以高质量共建“一带一路”为抓手，推动建设持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界。这一实践路径既体现中国智慧，也为破解全球治理难题提供可行方案。

We continue to advance the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.
