(Reuters) - China's leadership unveiled some of the most comprehensive economic and social reforms in nearly 30 years in November 2013.
Implementation since then has been slow but steady. China has eschewed riskier, game-changing reform but the incremental steps promise to reach enough critical mass to sustain momentum and help the world's second-largest economy shift down fairly smoothly after decades of red-hot investment-fuelled growth.
