The statement quoted the communiqué as saying that China will better leverage the role of the market, refine the systems underpinning the market economy, and improve the systems for promoting full integration between the real economy and the digital economy.
China will improve the mechanisms for ensuring that all are equal before the law, improve the institutions and mechanisms for impartial law enforcement and administration of justice, refine the mechanisms for building a law-based society, and strengthen the rule of law in foreign-related affairs, the statement quoted the communiqué as saying.
Ho said in the statement that the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee has provided the direction for the nation’s high-quality development and strategic planning, as well as important guidance for Macau to maintain its sustainable development and long-term prosperity and stability.
