China Voice: Closing the "Last-Mile Gap" in Deepening Reform

Chinese leaders did not pass any new proposals at their latest meeting on overall reform, the 21st of its kind, but rather stressed one key word: implementation. The previous 20 meetings of the Central Leading Group for Overall Reform had seen about 100 documents approved, rolling out an unprecedented number of strong reform measures to establish a healthier economy, a more independent judiciary and a more law-based society. Implementing those reforms is now the most pressing job as China strives to sustain solid growth and improve social systems.
