Abstract:

“Establishing first, breaking later” serves as the pivotal methodological principle for further comprehensive deepening of reform. A historical review reveals that the Chinese Communists, with a profound understanding of the social and historical realities in different historical stages, have successively put forward the methodological principles of “breaking first, establishing later” and “establishing first, breaking later”. In essence, these two principles constitute concrete manifestations of the methodological approach that drives the supersession of old things by new ones. They are fundamentally shaped by the essential features of old and new things, their interactive relationship, and the systemic impacts of the replacement process. Faced with the practical requirements of both continuing reforms to respond to the development needs of the times and consolidating the achievements of reform and development as well as maintaining social stability, the only way for further comprehensively deepening reform is to drive the supersession of old things by new ones through the principle of “establishing first, breaking later” so as to advance Chinese modernization. This requires that, in the practice of further comprehensively deepening reform, we should enhance timeliness to respond to realistic demands, improve adaptability to consolidate the quality foundation, strengthen dynamism to advance the enactment, revision, abolition and interpretation of institutions, and boost systematicness to coordinate the rhythm of breaking and establishing. By doing so, we can ensure the steady and sound advancement of further comprehensive deepening of reform advances, thereby providing solid support for Chinese modernization.

Key words: “breaking first, establishing later”, “establishing first, breaking later”, further comprehensive deepening of reform, institution establishment
