Over the past 40 years, with the continuous development and deepening of reform and opening-up, Chinas rule of law has made unprecedented achievements, embarking on a path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics.
In 40 years, Chinas legislative work and the endeavor of reform and opening-up have accompanied each other. In particular, in terms of economic legislation, a series of laws and regulations are constantly refined and operable on the basis of summing up practical experience. The content of legislation is also more and more specific and comprehensive.
Chinas economic legislation has been crossing the economic river by feeling the stones, and three of these stones are related to the direction of Chinas economic legislation. The first stone is marketization, which is actually the engine of economic development. Without following the road of marketization, it would be difficult for economic and social development to complement each other. The second stone is social justice, which is the foundation of economic development. The third stone is the foundation of the legal system, which is the red line of economic reform.
The 40-year history of reform and opening-up of China has been one of a political reform which is constantly changing, improving and pursuing sustainable development that is based on the rule of law. It is also a history that uses the rule of law to lead, standardize, promote and guarantee reform and opening-up, and economic and social development.
