Introduction：
A year after the Third Plenum, economic reforms began to move into implementation, and economic reforms have become a significant part of Xi Jinping’s policy agenda. Xi Jinping has set up an organization to oversee the reform process, but has also maintained top-down discretion in deciding which reforms to implement. This top-down reform model is very different from the bottom-up reforms of the 1980s, or the institutional reforms of the 1990s.
