CHINESE President Xi Jinping underscored the need to continue
reform and to advance the rule of law in 2015 in a New Year speech
delivered yesterday, comparing them to “a bird’s two wings.”
In an address transmitted live by state broadcasters, the
president told domestic and overseas audiences that 2014 was an
“unforgettable” year.
“In 2014, we pressed ahead with reform, cracked many hard nuts
and introduced important reforms close to the interests of our
citizens.
“We adapted to the new normal of economic growth; actively
promoted economic and social development, and improved the quality
of people’s life,” he said.
Xi said cadres at all levels had “given it their best shot,” a
popular phrase with Chinese Internet users.
“Of course, without the support of the people, we could not
have achieved anything. I must give our great people a
thumbs-up.”
In 2015, China will continue reform from which “there is no
turning back” and advance the rule of law to protect the people’s
rights and interests, guarantee social justice and promote national
development, he said.
