Xi Jinping again underscores supply side reform

President Xi Jinping has again sought to rally officials around his hallmark “supply-side reforms,” just days after the publication of one of his long lectures on the subject underscored his dissatisfaction with progress so far, according to the South China Morning Post. “All regions and all departments must unify their thoughts and actions to stay in line with the decisions [on reform] made by the party’s Central Committee,” CCTV news on Monday night quoted Xi as saying. Xi made the remarks at a meeting yesterday of the Central Leading Group on Financial and Economic Affairs, the country’s top economic policymaking body.
