Editors Note: China has entered the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20), which is pivotal for building a moderately prosperous society, and this year it's also confronting the arduous task of carrying out supply-side structural reform. In the first quarter, China managed sound economic growth, structural upgrading and the improvement of people's livelihoods despite numerous complex domestic and overseas factors. At the same time, it still faces a series of deep-seated contradictions and problems. How can the Chinese economic restructuring be assessed and how will the reforms be carried out?
