China's reform and opening up has already been surging forward for four decades since its launch at the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee in late 1978. In these four decades, economic reform has grown in breadth, depth, and intensity gradually spread from rural to urban areas, from establishing special economic zones to steadily opening up the interior, from vigorously promoting reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to consistently furthering administrative reform, and from successfully acceding to the World Trade Organization (WTO) to actively participating in global economic governance. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, China has made economic reform the focus of comprehensively deepening reform, and thus reform has made progress on all fronts, achieved numerous breakthroughs, and driven deeper.
