    The “four tests” are the test in exercising governance, the test in carrying out reform and opening-up, the test in developing the market economy and the test from the external environment; the “four dangers” are the danger of lacking in drive, the danger of incompetence, the danger of being out of touch with the people and the danger of passive corruption.
