How to implement the central government’s goal to secure and improve people’s well-being in the New Era poses a significant question for China’s social policy development. This paper analyzes the institutional shortcomings in securing and improving people’s well-being and current challenges faced by China’s social policy. It proposes the goals for social policy, which is to improve the relationship among the state, family and society. In this paper, I discuss the basic principles for an active and reliable social policy, i.e., to coordinate social policy and economic development, set a reasonable goal and try best to achieve it. Finally, I suggest the important tasks for an active and reliable social policy, including to define a reasonable welfare level, improve equality and equity in social policy, improve social policy structure, do more research on people’s needs, and raise public awareness.
