Ensure voices of public be heard
The advent of social media, such as Twitter-like service Sina Weibo, has become a channel for people to vent their anger as well as enhance public supervision of officials' corrupt practices. Future leaders of China will have to make sure that the voices of the public echoing across social media are heard and not neglected.
China has undergone tremendous changes, both socially and economically. "In a society with more diversified interest patterns, the common people have become more outspoken when confronting with issues concerning their own interests," said Ding Yuanzhu.
Zhao Chenggen, a professor with the School of Management at Peking University, believes it is necessary for the government to increase exchanges and interactions with the public to improve social management.
"Everybody's ideas and comments have to carry some weight in decision-making, be it public policy or public service," he said.
A very effective way to resolve issues like corruption, environmental degradation and food safety, which directly correlate to people's interests, is to increase public involvement in the decision-making process, Zhao said.
"It is not like 30 years ago when China could allocate economic resources and ensure effective governance in a planned way," Ding said.
"After the 18th CPC National Congress, I think the CPC has to be more creative in adapting to a more diversified society and economy," he said.
SHARE INTERESTS WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES
In the past 30 years, China has benefited from globalization. At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, China is defined as a regional power. It is a different international environment from the one it experienced 30 years ago.
Huang Shujin, a research fellow with the National Defense University of the People's Liberation Army, believes that prominent external factors that will affect China's strategy in the near future include intellectual property rights, competition for resources, trade wars and territory disputes.
Analysts have pointed out that Western powers are shifting their strategic focus to Asia, which, combined with other factors, will escalate conflicts between China and some neighboring countries.
Nevertheless, Qin Gang, the professor with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, believes that in spite of territorial disputes and some other frictions, relations between China and the rest of the world will be relatively stable due to overlapping, shared interests.
He expects China to continue to have a relatively stable and peaceful environment for its development.
"The international community could benefit from China's fast-paced and stable advance, and their participation in China's development will enhance China's competitive edge," said Ding Yuanzhu.
