论政治改革的目标与路线图

On Objectives and Roadmap of Political Reform

经济和社会领域的改革超前于政治改革,而政府官员腐败和滥用权力、社会分配不公等问题迫切需要大力推进政治体制改革。改革的目标是确立社会主义民主、厉行法治、政府权力分权制衡等。政治改革需要有实施的路线图包括时间表,否则将流于形式和空谈。对于政治民主的体制改革,可先党内后全民,先基层后中高层,从间接民主选举到直接民主选举;对于分权制衡的体制改革,需要明确国家权力机关之间相互监督制约关系,实行人民代表大会的常务委员专职化和司法独立。在政改的推进程序上,可先实行局部试点,取得经验,再逐步推广,以避免大的震荡。

The development of economic and social reform preceded the political reform, yet social issues, such as government officials＇ corruption and abuse of power, unfair distribution of social wealth, urge the vigorous promotion of political reform. The objectives of the reform are to establish a socialist democracy and constitutionalism, enforcement of the role of law, and check and balance of government power. Political reform requires a roadmap for implementation, including timetable, otherwise it will end up with formality and lip service. For systematic reform of the political democracy, CPC can start earlier than the whole society, moving from grassroots level towards intermediate and higher levels, evolving from indirect to direct democratic elections. As to check and balance in government power, the mutual supervision and restriction relationship between state powers should be established, so that the members of the Standing Committee of NPR are professional and enjoy judicial independence. Regarding the promotion procedure for political reform, local trials can be performed to distiU best practices for promotion so that large-scale shocks in society can be avoided.
