Summary/Abstract |
The initial steps taken by the new CPC leadership to reinforce their authority and lay the groundwork for conducting reforms aimed at solving the country's complicated socioeconomic problems are outlined. The difficulties and challenges standing in the way of development and the need to adjust its paradigm are examined. The mitigation of social injustice, demanding not only changes in the system of income distribution but the transformation of Chinese society's social structure as well, is considered a vital imperative. Considerable space is given to the importance and prospects of conducting political reforms. In characterizing China's foreign policy, it is stressed that ambivalent assessments of the challenges and threats to the country's long-term goals are affecting its evolution.
