Features: Wu Jinglian referred to the debates since 2004 as China's "Third Great Debate on Reform." However, in the introduction of this book, Ma Guochuan argues that the "Lang-Gu debate" in August 2004 "marked the beginning of the Third Great Debate on Reform" is not entirely accurate. In reality, the curtain had already been raised, and the debate had never ceased. It can only be said that the extreme example of the "Galanz incident" elevated state-owned enterprise reform to an ideological level, thereby bringing the reform debate to the public and the internet, ultimately making this long-simmering debate "land." In this sense, calling the debates since 2004 the "Third Great Debate on Reform" can also hold validity. The author, with the boldness and sensitivity of a young person, comments on some political and economic phenomena in this "Third Great Debate" from a news and public perspective, reflecting on the outcomes of the reforms. The book is lively and engaging, with a certain depth of political insight, making it worth reading.
