Abstract
After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China has always insisted on promoting reform on the track of rule of law, following the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics and realizing the modernization of state governance. The experience of China’s systematic reform in building the rule of law is mainly reflected in three “combinations”: first, it insists on combining external “people’s supervision” and internal “self-reform”; second, it insists on combining rule by law and running the Party with regulations; third, it insists on combining top-level system design and “crossing the river by feeling the stones”.
