ABSTRACT

The Preliminary Opinions on Economic Restructuring, drafted by the Economic Restructuring Offi ce of the State Council, is rather immature. The reason we submit

it to the meeting is that it deals with so important an issue that it will require repeated

discussions to be fully practicable. It contains our preliminary proposals, and only

after in-depth discussions and a general consensus on clearly defi ned and widely

accepted reform guidelines can we possibly come out with a concrete plan.
