Fourth Plenary Session

During the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Communist Party of China (CPC) Congress, a new and important reform document was adopted. Announcing reforms mainly in the juridical sector, the 'Decision of the CPC Central Committee Concerning Some Major Questions in Comprehensively Moving Governing the Country According to the Law Forward' is part of the overall reform package kicked off at the Third Plenum last year. This article points out the document's main objectives, and provides a preliminary analysis of the announced reforms. Three main themes are identified. First, the document is part of the overall goal of developing a special Chinese system of 'socialism with Chinese characteristics'. Second, not only institutions but also the minds and work styles of officials are to be reformed. Third, the document strongly affirms the CPC's role as the legal guardian of the reform process, as well as juridical matters.

Exploration And Development

In December 1978, after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Party, China entered a new era of reform and opening up. It has been for forty years, and has accumulated richly in the process of exploration and development in these forty years. Faced with the new tasks and new demands put forward by the new era, China has embarked on a new journey. The construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics needs to be further promoted. Reform and opening up is still the source of vitality for the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. We should profoundly summarize and give full play to the experience of the fortieth anniversary of reform and opening up, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, implement new development concepts, and constantly promote the development of the cause of reform and opening up.

Government Governance

At the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, China clearly put forward the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform, which can be summarized as “improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of national governance capacity and governance system.” For the modernization of national governance, the modernization of government governance is undoubtedly a key link. The practical paths to achieve the modernization of government governance mainly include: First, realize the servitization of government governance; Second, realize the legalization in government governance; Third, realize the cheapness of government governance; Fourth, implement the responsibility of government governance.

China Men

Biology is not supposed to be destiny in socialist China. In contrast to class societies where supposedly “men occupy the position of the ruling class… and women become the household slaves of men and the instruments for producing more men,” in China men and women together are said to hold up the sky (biantian). Women are no longer enslaved by reproduction; if they are oppressed, it is merely because remnants of feudal thinking, superstition and backwardness still exist in China. Or so it is argued by representatives of the Chinese leadership. Here I will posit a different view. Rather than blaming feudalism or China's lack of development, I suggest that contemporary political and economic decisions have reinforced sex inequality in China. In this article, I argue that social and economic policies since the Third Plenum of the llth Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party have created conditions which impose on women (and men) sex-differentiated roles in production and reproduction. These new public policies sustain the traditional definition of women as household labourers and reproducers of men.

This article explores the process of urbanisation in China in the context of three historical transformations spanning the period 1840–2017. During the first two transformations urbanisation took place slowly, with the fragmented development of cities without a systemic character. This laid the foundation for the third historical transformation, the policy of reforms and openness in 1978, which opened up opportunities for the development of cities and stimulated a wave of internal labour migration. Over the last 30 years, urbanisation in China has acquired a huge scale, becoming a powerful tool for the development of the country’s economy. Initially a spontaneous development, in the 2000s urbanisation began to acquire a strategically planned approach. In 2014, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC Central Committee) announced the adoption of a ‘National New-Type Urbanisation Plan’ (2014–2020), which marked a qualitative transition in terms of the management of the urbanisation process. This article argues that a nuanced historical analysis of China’s urbanisation is key to studying its urban future.
