China’s Solution and Experience in the Comprehensive Implementation of Supply-Side Structural Reform

Abstract

Comprehensively implementing supply-side structural reform is a major adjustment of ideas and focus of China’s economic development, made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the world’s long-term economic cycle and the new normal of China’s economic development. As a major innovation to adapt to and lead the new normal of economic development, it has become a strategic deployment that concerns the overall long-term development of China’s economy and society. Before the 19th CPC National Congress, the main tasks of supply-side structural reform were cutting overcapacity, destocking, deleveraging, reducing corporate costs and shoring up weak links. After the 19th CPC National Congress, while continuing to do the tasks, the CPC Central Committee stuck to the main direction of improving the quality of the supply system, enriching the connotation of deepening supply-side structural reform. Since 2016, China’s supply-side structural reform has achieved remarkable results, and has been widely recognized and positively evaluated both internationally and domestically. The reform provides not only a solid foundation and valuable experience for China’s subsequent reforms, but also a useful reference for developing countries.
