Editor's note: China’s reform program is about to start a major new phase, and this is an event which is commanding worldwide attention. The third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee has just reached its conclusion - what kind of a new reform blueprint has been produced? On Tuesday, People’s Daily Online invited Zhang Liqun, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council, and Xu Yaotong, professor of political science with the Chinese Academy of Governance, to explain the communiqué issued after the meeting.

Plenary session blueprint: The Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee highlights reform in party building. The Communist Party of China needs not only rules and regulations, but also an institutional system. Therefore, reform is under way.

The CPC also needs to improve its leadership structure. It has therefore proposed an important principle to cement its core role in grasping the overall situation and coordinating different aspects, according to Xu Yaotong.

This key session also highlights the anti-corruption campaign. The CPC Central Disciplinary Committee vows to avoid corruption through a system that is effective. Power must be exercised in the open air, and the exercise of power must be contained within the boundaries of a clearly-defined system.

There are several ways to fight against corruption. But only structured regulation will succeed in establishing a normalized and scientific anti-corruption system. The Third Plenary Session of 18th CPC Central Committee has given profound consideration to this anti-corruption campaign, according to Xu Yaotong.
