CRI听力:Observers Laud President Xi's "Four Comprehensives"

The catchphrase "Four Comprehensives" refers to China "comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society, comprehensively deepening reforms, comprehensively implementing the rule of law, and comprehensively strengthening Party discipline."

Observers say the "Four Comprehensives" are tasks raised at Communist Party of China meetings over the last two years, since President Xi Jinping came to power.

The concept was first mentioned by Xi Jinping in December.

Li Tuo, a politics professor at the Chinese Academy of Governance, says the concept carries great significance.

"The concept answers the question of how to practically achieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation. In my own opinion, it is the latest theoretical fruit of the sinicization of Marxism."

The CPC has already recognized Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the "Three Represents" and the Scientific Outlook on Development as the fruits of the sinicization of Marxism, which has been the Party's theoretical guidance.

The People's Daily, the CPC's official newspaper, has published two commentaries endorsing the new concept of "Four Comprehensives."

And another three opinion pieces by the newspaper are to follow.

Shortly after President Xi Jinping took helm of the CPC in November 2012, he put forward the concept of "the Chinese Dream," or "the great renewal of the Chinese nation".

Professor Li Tuo says building "a moderately prosperous society" is "a crucial step towards the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation."

"Although China has become the second largest economy in the world, there are still many impoverished areas across the country. To build a comprehensive and moderately prosperous society requires the government to give more support to these areas."

The "Four Comprehensives" come as China pays greater attention to improving governance following its decades-long economic miracle.

Observers agree that the concept, acting as a strategic blueprint, will ensure China continues steadily on its path of development.
