Correcto

• 本次改革方案涵盖范围广且细节严谨，充分考虑了各利益相关方的诉求，经过多轮修订后已具备付诸实施的条件。(The reform plan for this occasion has wide coverage and rigorous detail, fully taking into account the demands of all stakeholders; after multiple rounds of revision it is now ready to be put into practice.)
• 事态尚不明朗，建议各方且勿轻举妄动，等待官方调查结果出炉后再作进一步决策。(The situation is not yet clear; it is recommended that all parties refrain from acting rashly for the time being and wait for the official investigation results before making further decisions.)
