Now let's take a closer look at the significance of the third plenary session. Each five-year CPC Central Committee has around five to seven plenary sessions. The third plenary session plays a significant role. Its main tasks are deliberating on economic reforms and arranging economic work.

In 1978, the third plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee decided to implement the reform and opening up policy, which was a major step in China's modern economic history. In 1993, the third plenary session of the 14th CPC Central Committee established a basic framework for a market-driven economic system. Entering the new century, in 2008, the third plenary session focused on issues concerning agriculture, the countryside, and farmers.
