Features: I said "the main theme is progress" is not empty rhetoric. What gave me this feeling was a debate that took place at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. It was called the third major debate on reform. When reform enters the critical stage, some people, for various reasons, develop misunderstanding, resistance, or even opposition to reform. They point out some problems in the reform that do exist, but they exaggerate these problems, treat the as the mainstream, and spread views against reform. The essence of their stance is to stop reform, or even regress. In the debate over the future of China, the central government's stance is extremely clear: to firmly adhere to the direction of market-oriented reform. This is the fundamental reason why progress can become the "main theme." Therefore, this year's "Xiaomin Economic Observations" begins with a commentary on this debate.
