A Retrospect and Prospect of China's Law in Last Thirty Years

During the past 30 years since the introduction of the reform and opening-up policy, China’s development of the democracy and rule of law and economic construction preconditioned mutually, pushed each other and developed together to build the socialist market economy and a socialist country under the rule of law, and thereby formed two mutually reflecting and shining central themes in the dynamics of reform and opening up. In the course of the 30 years’ exploring and developing the socialism rule of law, we gradually solved the three major theoretical and practical questions such as whether China need practice the rule of law, what kind of rule of law we must build and how to build it, and made clear the orientation, goal and path of China’s rule of law. Therefore, China’s rule of law has been constantly played the great pushing and guaranteeing impacts on the development of China’s economy, politics and society. Standing on the new historical starting point, we should try to hold higher the great banner of socialism rule of law with Chinese characteristics, put the rule of law on more important and prominent position of overall, fundamental and strategic significance to promote, and work hard to achieve new level and status in practicing ruling the country in accordance with the law and building a socialist country of law.
