China Digital Report—Data is the most sensitive nerve of China's economic and social development. Although there were many controversies surrounding changes in data in 2003, it remains crucial to use data to outline the ups and downs of China's economy and society and to measure its strengths and weaknesses. This report documents the history of China's reform ideas. It aims to enhance people's understanding of reform and its deeper advancement, inspiring action to create a new situation where all aspects of the country are free from difficulties. Based on the ideas and vision we have long upheld, this report fully expands and deepens what we consider necessary to address the challenges posed by reform bottlenecks. The report points out that significantly reducing social division and imbalance is highly achievable, and the forces of global integration and technological progress can and must be harnessed to serve China's development. Whether this can be realized depends on how governments, institutions, and society operate, as well as the choices made in public behavior at both national and local levels. The report adopts the new perspective on development issues that is currently correct, recognizing that development is not solely an economic concept but also includes achievements in various fields such as technology, education, healthcare, ecological environment, social systems, and other aspects of human development. Furthermore, based on a series of setbacks and lessons, the report expands this demand to encompass broader aspects, including comprehensive human development, harmonious social progress, and active institutional reform. The aforementioned aspects of social development are vividly illustrated in our research—China Policy Report, China Decision Report, China Urban Report, and China Digital Report. As background material for this report, it systematically summarizes and reviews the core values of reform over the past 25 years, especially the key value concepts emphasized in the plenary sessions of the Third Central Committee at every stage of reform and social development.
