Top-Level Design and “Crossing the River by Feeling for Stones”
There are no precedents for China’s reform and opening up. It is therefore necessary to take a correct approach and advance through trial and practice.
The relationship between top-level design and “crossing the river by feeling for stones” (feeling the way proceeding by careful and limited experimentation – “feeling the way” so to speak) is one of the major relationships that must be handled well in the course of comprehensively expanding the in-depth reform that Xi Jinping has called for.
“Feeling the way” is a method of reform that is distinctively Chinese and appropriate to China’s conditions. The effort is aimed at seeking objective laws from practice. There is a dialectical unity between top-level design and feeling the way. Top-level design and regional and short-term implementation should be mutually reinforcing processes. Macro planning and top-level design are needed to advance reform in a systematic, integrated and coordinated way. Meanwhile, bold experiments and breakthroughs are encouraged to bring reform to a deeper level.
頂層設(shè)計(jì)和摸著石頭過(guò)河的關(guān)系
改革開(kāi)放是前無(wú)古人的嶄新事業(yè),必須堅(jiān)持正確的方法論,在不斷實(shí)踐探索中推進(jìn)。頂層設(shè)計(jì)和摸著石頭過(guò)河的關(guān)系,是習(xí)近平提出的全面深化改革需要把握的重大關(guān)系之一。摸著石頭過(guò)河,是富有中國(guó)特色、符合中國(guó)國(guó)情的改革方法。摸著石頭過(guò)河就是摸規(guī)律,從實(shí)踐中獲得真知。摸著石頭過(guò)河和加強(qiáng)頂層設(shè)計(jì)是辨證統(tǒng)一的,推進(jìn)局部的階段性改革開(kāi)放要在加強(qiáng)頂層設(shè)計(jì)的前提下進(jìn)行,加強(qiáng)頂層設(shè)計(jì)要在推進(jìn)局部的階段性改革開(kāi)放的基礎(chǔ)上來(lái)謀劃。必須加強(qiáng)宏觀思考和頂層設(shè)計(jì),更加注重改革的系統(tǒng)性、整體性、協(xié)同性,同時(shí)也要繼續(xù)鼓勵(lì)大膽試驗(yàn)、大膽突破,不斷把改革開(kāi)放引向深入。
