The 'two sessions': a fourfold challenge

The second policy goal is the deepening of reform, which will be necessary if changes in the rate of economic development are to be handled sustainably.

But possibly more attention will be diverted to the political aims set out in the third and fourth statements of intent: the establishment of firm governance based on the rule of law, and the intensification of Party discipline, the struggle against corruption and other abuses.

These are established elements of President Xi's declared policy, but many details are still unclear. The precise meaning of the expression "rule of law" still requires clarification, as the Chinese leadership has made it clear that this must not be understood in the Western sense of a separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary from the executive.

A new basis for the rule of law must therefore be thought out and implemented. The key must surely be the establishment of clarity: for the citizen, clarity over what is and is not permitted under the law, and, for officials, what is and is not permitted in the implementation of the law.

The all-too-common feeling that it is important not to work according to clearly expressed and consistently upheld laws, but to pay more attention to not damaging the interests of the police and other officials, must give way to a legal framework which is open and clearly comprehensible to everyone.

As has been repeatedly emphasized by the Chinese leadership, reform is the key to stability and innovation is the key to progress. Neither must be inhibited by fear of repression by vested interests, provided that one proceeds with reform and innovation in accordance with the law.

How precisely these principles can be implemented in Chinese conditions remains to be seen. What is clear is that we have moved into new territory with this initiative; there are no foreign or historical precedents for the establishment and maintenance of the balance at which President Xi is aiming, especially in a country the size of China. But that does not mean it is impossible: there were no precedents for the growth of the Chinese economy over the last 30 years either.

Thus, just as the leadership will have to manage expectations regarding the future growth of the economy, so they will also have to manage expectations of the speed at which "rule of law with Chinese characteristics" can be fully achieved. This is a long-term program; its implementation will exceed the period of the current leadership's tenure of office, and so measures will have to be put in place to ensure the continuation of these policies well into the future. I am sure we will find out how the government intends to tackle these issues by the end of the session.
