The Communist Party of China (CPC) has a tradition of proposing key changes in third plenary sessions since 1978 when the third plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee decided to implement reform and opening up, ending decades of seclusion.
The third plenum of the 14th CPC Central Committee in 1993 endorsed the socialist market economy, paving the way for China's economic takeoff in the subsequent two decades.
The Party needs time to identify problems after the national congresses put forward detailed goals for development. Third plenary sessions come at just the right time to address those issues.
That's why the third plenary sessions are important for China's reforms.
The 18th National Congress of CPC held in November last year put forward many detailed goals in the economic, political, cultural and other sectors, including transformation of the economic growth pattern, promotion of political reform, building a socialist country with cultural strength, and an innovative social administration.
In less than a year, China's new leadership has introduced a package focused on streamlining administration and delegating power to lower levels, abolishing a slew of administrative examinations and approvals.
The new leadership has called for mobilizing the initiative of the society and purchasing public services from social organizations rather than providing them by itself, all smoothing the path for reform.
Officials will deliberate plans for creating better environment to promote economic development, as well as power supervision and restraint, better serving the people and improving government efficiency.
