China's Communist Party Central Committee concluded its Fourth Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee on 23 October 2014, with a communique which declared sweeping judicial reforms while hailing the overarching role of the Constitution in the country's legal system.

The Fourth Plenum announcements focus on "the rule of law" for the first time and represent a key milestone in the Party's history. As a result, China will begin to undergo significant judicial reforms based on the blueprint set out under communique, implementing changes which are likely to reshape China's political, economic and legal environment.

It is expected that these changes will have a significant impact on China's long term economic growth and political stability, and are likely to positively benefit those doing business in China and with China.
