Based on the main spirit of the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which highlights the theme of “stepping into a moderately prosperous society in all respects with fairness and justice”, the report systematically summarizes the significant achievement China has made since the Sixteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of ChinaThe report points out that, at this decisive stage, China needs to further adjust the economic structure, boost domestic consumption, find solutions to growing income inequality, and prevent the rebound of widening income gapOn the other hand, government also needs to pay more attention to adjust the deficiency of the current employment structure, mitigate the tension of labor relationship, and rely on innovative strategies to cope with emerging characteristics of mass disturbanceFurthermore, it is essential for the government to resolve the resistance during the process of social system reform, strengthen the cooperative mechanism for social management, and change the traditional ideology of maintaining social order with rigid measures.
