Although the resolution’s general message is encouraging, a shopping list of reform objectives is not a strategic analysis of the contradictions that are undermining China’s development, let alone an action plan for responding to these contradictions. Indeed, for China’s new leadership, the successful completion of the Third Plenum is only the first step in a new long march toward a more stable, prosperous future.
尽管《决定》的基本信息令人振奋，但改革目标清单算不上对破坏中国发展的矛盾的战略分析，更不用说应对这些矛盾的行动计划了。事实上，对中国的新领导层来说，成功完成三中全会只是通往更稳定繁荣的未来的长征的第一步。
