Chinäs efforts to build a country¿ government¿and society based on the rule of law have been mutually reinforcing¿ the system of distinctively Chinese socialist rule of law has been steadily improved¿ public awareness of the rule of law has risen markedly. In recent years¿ China has adhered to the correct handling of the relationship between deepening reform and law-based governance¿ensuring that major reforms are justified by law and providing solid guarantees of the rule of law for reform and opening-up. China has adhered to combine law-based governance of the country and rule-based governance over the party and exercised law-based governance at every point in the process and over every dimension of full and rigorous governance over the party and has made remarkable achievements in the construction of a clean and honest government and the struggle against corruption.
