This plenary session went well. The Plenary Session listened to the work report of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, analyzed the new situation and new tasks, and reviewed and approved the “Proposal of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and Long-term Goals for 2035”, which was successfully completed. various agendas.
The “Proposal” adopted by the plenary session is a programmatic document for starting a new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way and marching towards the second centenary goal. It is an action guide for my country’s economic and social development in the next five years or even longer. At present and in the future, an important political task for the whole party and the whole country is to study and implement the spirit of this plenary meeting, and to implement the various decision-making arrangements and work requirements determined in the “Recommendations”.
Now, on behalf of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, I will address some key issues regarding the implementation of the spirit of the plenary session.
1. Correctly understand the international and domestic situation
After several generations of continuous struggle, we are about to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, complete the task of poverty alleviation, and achieve the first centenary goal. From next year, we will start to march toward the second centenary goal.
At this important moment, we must not only see that the overall situation of my country’s development is good, that we have the foundation, conditions, and ability to achieve new and great victories, but also that many contradictions are superimposed, risks and challenges have increased significantly, and my country’s development Facing an unprecedented complex environment. We must adhere to a correct view of history, the overall situation, and development, clearly see the essence of the current international and domestic situation under the complex phenomenon, be in a crisis, seek opportunities in crisis, forge ahead, open up new situations, and better coordinate the greatness of the Chinese nation. The overall situation of the revival strategy and the world have undergone major changes unseen in a century.
From an international perspective, the world has entered a period of accelerated evolution, which is unprecedented in a century, and the international environment has become increasingly complex. On the one hand, peace and development are still the themes of the times. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has developed in depth, the international balance of power has been profoundly adjusted, and the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. On the other hand, the instability and uncertainty of the international situation have increased significantly. The impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has been extensive and far-reaching. Economic globalization has encountered adverse currents. Populism and xenophobia have risen. Profound and complex changes are taking place in the international economy, science and technology, culture, security, and politics. We must accurately understand the key factors that determine the direction of the world’s major changes unseen in a century, and firmly grasp the strategic initiative.
From a domestic perspective, my country’s continued development has many advantages and conditions, but also faces many difficulties and challenges. The key is to look at issues from a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective and actively expand new space for development.
First, we must have a profound understanding of the changes in the main social contradictions, and strengthen the systematic way of solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development. At present, the main problems facing my country’s development are that the innovation capability does not meet the requirements of high-quality development, the agricultural foundation is not stable, the gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is large, ecological and environmental protection has a long way to go, there are shortcomings in people’s livelihood security, and social governance There are still weaknesses . In short, the development is unbalanced and insufficient. Unbalanced development is mainly due to imbalances in various regions, fields and aspects, which restrict the improvement of the overall development level; insufficient development is mainly due to the fact that my country still has a long way to go to fully realize socialist modernization, and the task of development is still very heavy. To promote the solution of these problems, we must adhere to the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. Since it is a reflection of the main contradiction in society, it cannot be solved overnight. It must be active and persistent. It is necessary to adhere to problem orientation and goal orientation, adhere to the system concept, focus on consolidating the foundation, promoting advantages, making up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and promoting comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development.
Second, we must deeply understand the people’s yearning for a better life, and strengthen the pertinence of solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development. my country’s long-term shortage economy and insufficient supply have fundamentally changed, and people’s yearning for a better life has generally shifted from “is there” to “is it good?” Many of these needs were not urgent problems in the past, but now that the people have higher requirements, our understanding of these problems and our work level should be improved accordingly. We must insist on ensuring and improving people’s livelihood in the process of development, solve the most immediate and practical interests of the people, better satisfy the people’s yearning for a better life, promote the all-round development of human beings and the all-round progress of society, and strive to promote the common prosperity of all the people. more tangible progress has been made.
Third, we must have a deep understanding of the fundamentals of the long-term improvement of the economy, and increase our confidence in solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development. At present, my country’s economy is facing multiple impacts such as the overlapping of cyclical and structural factors, the intertwining of short-term and long-term problems, and the collision of external shocks and the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. It can be said that the difficulties are unprecedented. The impact of the epidemic is temporary and generally controllable. External shocks have forced us to speed up the pace of independent innovation. The fundamentals of my country’s long-term economic growth have not changed. The strong leadership of the Party and the institutional advantage of my country’s socialist system that can concentrate its efforts on major affairs are the fundamental guarantees for achieving economic stability and long-term social stability. For a long time, my country’s accumulated solid material foundation, rich human resources, complete industrial system, strong scientific and technological strength, and my country’s largest and most potential market in the world are the fundamental support for us to promote economic development and resist external risks.
A comprehensive analysis of the domestic and international situation shows that my country’s development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities at present and in the future, but there are new developments and changes in both opportunities and challenges. The concept of the period of strategic opportunity, when it was proposed, referred to the first 20 years of this century. Today, 20 years later, how to judge the strategic opportunity period is a major issue. In the past, we followed the trend, and it was easier to grasp the opportunity; now we have to go up against the wind, and the difficulty of grasping the opportunity is different. In the past, the overall environment was relatively stable, and risks and challenges were relatively easy to see. Now the world situation is turbulent and complex, geopolitical challenges are high and waves are turbulent, and there are many reefs and undercurrents, which puts forward higher requirements for resilience. In the past, when our level of development was low, we were more complementary to others; now that our level of development is improved, we are more competitive with others.
Our judgment is that crises and opportunities coexist, there are opportunities in crises, and crises can be turned into opportunities. Opportunities are more strategic and malleable, challenges are more complex and overall, and challenges are unprecedented. The prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is a typical example of turning crisis into safety and turning crisis into opportunity. Recalling how critical and stressful the situation was when the epidemic first broke out at the beginning of the year. More than half a year has passed, and we have not only not been knocked down by the epidemic, but have become a model of global success in fighting the epidemic. This year, my country will be the only major economy in the world to resume positive economic growth, and my country’s comprehensive strength and international influence will instead achieve a faster leap. The experience and truth in it should be carefully considered and grasped.
In short, the “14th Five-Year Plan” period is a critical period for my country to achieve new and greater development. We must enhance awareness of opportunities and risks, accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, actively seek changes, have the courage to open the wind, and be good at turning crises into opportunities, so as to make a good start and a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
2. Fully grasp the new stage of development
The new stage of development is the stage of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and marching towards the second centenary goal. This is a milestone in the development process of our country. We must fully grasp this new stage of development from the perspectives of history and reality, theory and practice.
First, entering a new stage of development is a big leap in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As I said, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese people since modern times. Since modern times, under the invasion of foreign powers and the corrupt feudal rule, our country has missed the opportunity of the industrial revolution, falling behind the times significantly, and the Chinese nation has suffered unprecedented hardships. After the Opium War, the Chinese people and countless people with lofty ideals persevered in their pursuit of the road to modernization in China. Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s “Strategy for National Founding” is known as the first blueprint for modern China’s pursuit of modernization, but under the conditions of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, China’s modernization has not and cannot be successful.
Since the founding of the Communist Party of China for nearly a hundred years, all the struggles that have united and led the Chinese people are aimed at building my country into a modern and powerful country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, our party has worked diligently to lead the people in the arduous exploration of China’s modernization drive. In 1954, Comrade Zhou Enlai clearly pointed out in the “Government Work Report” delivered at the First National People’s Congress: “If we do not build strong modern industry, modern agriculture, modern transportation and modern In terms of national defense, we cannot get rid of backwardness and poverty, and our revolution cannot achieve its goals.” In 1956, Comrade Mao Zedong proposed: “Our people should have a lofty plan, and strive to change our country’s economic and scientific development within a few decades. The cultural backwardness has quickly reached the advanced level in the world.” He also warned that if he did not do well, he would be expelled from the “ball”. In December 1964, Comrade Zhou Enlai put forward again in the “Government Work Report” delivered at the Third National People’s Congress: “Starting from the Third Five-Year Plan, my country’s national economic development can be considered in two steps: The first step is to establish an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system; the second step is to fully realize the modernization of agriculture, industry, national defense and science and technology, so that our economy will be at the forefront of the world. The Cultural Revolution”, the four modernization drives proposed at that time were not fully implemented. Nonetheless, from 1949 to 1978, our Party led the people to establish an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system on the basis of the poor and poor old China, effectively safeguarding national sovereignty and security, and striding forward in the cause of socialist construction in our country solid pace.
After the reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward a “three-step” strategy, that is, to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people by the end of the 1980s, to make people’s lives reach a moderately prosperous level by the end of the last century, and to basically realize modernization by the middle of the 21st century, reaching the level of a moderately developed country. Entering the new century, after the people’s life has generally reached a moderately prosperous level, our party has proposed that by the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, a higher-level moderately prosperous society will be built in an all-round way that will benefit more than one billion people. By the end of 2010, modernization will be basically realized, and my country will be built into a modern socialist country.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich, and becoming strong. Standing on a new and higher historical starting point, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a strategic arrangement for the realization of the second centenary goal in two stages, and proposed to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035, and to transform my country into Build a powerful modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful.
From the first five-year plan to the fourteenth five-year plan, the consistent theme is to build our country into a modern socialist country. We have gone through detours and encountered some unexpected difficulties and setbacks, but our will and determination to build a modern socialist country have never wavered. In this process, our party has deepened its understanding of building a modern socialist country, matured its strategy, and enriched its practice, which accelerated the process of my country’s modernization development and laid a solid foundation for building a modern socialist country in a new stage of development. Practical basis, theoretical basis, and institutional basis.
Second, the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and the decisive battle against poverty have created favorable conditions for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. The “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period is a decisive stage for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and decisive achievements have been made. my country’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength have leaped to a new level. my country’s per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars, and it is expected that the GDP will exceed 100 trillion yuan in 2020. During the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, a total of 55.75 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and the problem of absolute poverty will be resolved historically by the end of this year. Major breakthroughs have been made in comprehensively deepening reforms, opening to the outside world has continued to expand, and ecological civilization construction has achieved unprecedented results. my country has built the world’s largest social security system, with basic medical insurance covering more than 1.3 billion people and basic old-age insurance covering nearly 1 billion people. People’s living standards have improved significantly. It is certain that the goals and tasks of the 13th Five-Year Plan will be completed as scheduled, and the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way will be realized as scheduled.
Complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects as scheduled and win the battle against poverty, which will make the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation take a new step forward, and achieve a new leap from lagging behind the times to catching up with the times with great strides.
Third, my country’s construction of socialist modernization has many important characteristics. There is neither a one-size-fits-all modernization model nor a one-size-fits-all modernization standard in the world. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: “The modernization we are pursuing is Chinese-style modernization. The socialism we are building is socialism with Chinese characteristics.” Chinese characteristics. The first point is that my country’s modernization is a modernization with a huge population. my country’s population of 1.4 billion will enter a modern society as a whole, and its scale will exceed the sum of the existing developed countries. It will completely rewrite the modern world map, which is a major event with far-reaching influence in human history. The second point is that my country’s modernization is a modernization of common prosperity for all the people. Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism with Chinese characteristics. my country’s modernization adheres to the people-centered development philosophy, consciously and proactively solves regional disparities, urban-rural disparities, and income distribution gaps, promotes social fairness and justice, and gradually realizes common prosperity for all people. Resolutely prevent bipolarity differentiation. The third point is that my country’s modernization is a modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated. my country’s modernization adheres to the core values of socialism, strengthens the education of ideals and beliefs, promotes the excellent traditional Chinese culture, enhances the spiritual strength of the people, and promotes the all-round enrichment of things and the all-round development of people. Fourth, my country’s modernization is a modernization in which man and nature coexist in harmony. my country’s modernization attaches great importance to the simultaneous advancement of material civilization construction and ecological civilization construction, and takes the path of civilizational development of production development, affluent life, and sound ecology, otherwise the pressure on resources and environment will be unbearable. Fifth, my country’s modernization is a modernization that follows the path of peaceful development. Some old capitalist countries have taken the road of violent plundering of colonies and modernization at the expense of other countries’ backwardness. my country’s modernization emphasizes mutual benefit and win-win results with other countries in the world, promotes the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and strives to contribute to the peace and development of mankind. Practice has shown that Chinese-style modernization is not only in line with China’s reality, but also reflects the laws of socialist construction and the development of human society. my country must unswervingly promote Chinese-style modernization, promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and continue to make new and greater contributions to mankind.
3. Efforts to build a new development pattern
The construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other is a major decision based on the changes in my country’s development stage, environment, and conditions, especially the changes in my country’s comparative advantages. Building a new development pattern is a systematic and deep-level change that concerns the overall situation, and is a strategic plan based on the current and long-term perspective. We must accurately grasp the strategic concept of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern from the overall and strategic height.
Fundamentally speaking, building a new development pattern is an inevitable choice to adapt to the requirements of the new stage of my country’s development and to shape new advantages in international cooperation and competition. Before the reform and opening up, my country’s economy was dominated by domestic circulation, and imports and exports accounted for a small proportion of the national economy. After the reform and opening up, we opened the door to expand foreign trade and attract foreign investment. Especially after joining the WTO in 2001, my country has deeply participated in the international division of labor, integrated into the international cycle, and formed a development pattern in which the market and resources are “outside”, which has played a role in us grasping the opportunities of economic globalization to rapidly enhance our economic strength and improve people’s lives. important role.
The 2008 international financial crisis was an important watershed in the evolution of my country’s development pattern. In the face of the severe external crisis, we took the expansion of domestic demand as the basic foothold to maintain stable and rapid economic development, and promoted the transformation of economic development to the dominance of domestic demand, and the role of domestic circulation in my country’s economy began to rise significantly. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have insisted on implementing the strategy of expanding domestic demand, so that development is more driven by domestic demand, especially consumer demand. my country’s dependence on foreign trade dropped from 67% at its peak in 2006 to nearly 32% in 2019, and the current account surplus as a percentage of GDP has dropped from over 10% at its peak to about 1% at present. Domestic demand plays an important role in economic growth. The contribution rate has exceeded 100% in 7 years. We propose to build a new development pattern, which is a conscious grasp of my country’s objective economic laws and development trends, and has a practical basis.
In the coming period, the characteristics of my country’s domestic market-led economic cycle will become more obvious, and the domestic demand potential of economic growth will continue to be released. From the perspective of demand, my country has a population of 1.4 billion, of which more than 400 million are middle-income people. my country’s retail sales of goods will soon surpass that of the United States, ranking first in the world, and there is still room for steady growth in the future. From the perspective of supply, my country’s strong production capacity based on the large domestic market can promote the integration and innovation of global factor resources, and maximize the scale effect and agglomeration effect. As long as we follow the trend and implement precise policies, we are fully qualified to build a new development pattern and reshape new competitive advantages.
First, the construction of a new development pattern is a first move to seize the initiative in development, not a forced or expedient measure. From an international comparison, the characteristics of large-country economies are all domestic demand-led and internally recyclable. As the world’s second largest economy and the largest manufacturing country, China has long been required to adjust the relationship between the domestic economic cycle and the international economic cycle. This is our primary consideration for building a new development pattern. Under the background of the current international situation full of instability and uncertainty, based on the domestic market, relying on the advantages of the domestic large market, fully tap the potential of domestic demand, which is conducive to defuse the impact of external shocks and decline in external demand, and is also conducive to guaranteeing in extreme cases. my country’s economy is basically operating normally and the overall social situation is generally stable.
Second, building a new development pattern is an open domestic and international dual cycle, not a closed domestic single cycle. my country’s economy has been deeply integrated into the world economy, and its industrial correlation and interdependence with many countries in the world are relatively high. The domestic and foreign demand markets themselves are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Taking the domestic cycle as the main body, it is by no means closed doors and closed operations, but by giving full play to the potential of domestic demand, the domestic market and the international market can be better connected, and the domestic cycle can attract global resource elements and make better use of the domestic and international markets. Two kinds of resources, improve the ability to allocate resources in the world, and better strive for the strategic initiative in the development of openness. The door of my country’s opening will not be closed, but will only open wider. It is necessary to scientifically understand the relationship between the domestic cycle and the domestic and international dual cycles, take the initiative and be good at doing things, build a new higher-level open economic system, and implement a wider, wider, and deeper opening to the outside world.
Third, the construction of a new development pattern is based on the domestic big cycle based on the unified large market across the country, not all localities engage in small self-circulation. The Party Central Committee made a strategic arrangement to build a new development pattern, and proposed that the domestic cycle should be the main body. All regions should identify their own positions and comparative advantages in the domestic cycle and the domestic and international dual cycle, and combine the construction of a new development pattern with the implementation of major regional strategies, regional coordinated development strategies, main functional zone strategies, and the construction of free trade pilot zones. To link up and create a new highland for reform and opening up, we cannot engage in “small but complete”, let alone regional blockade in the name of “internal circulation”. Qualified regions can take the lead in exploring effective paths that are conducive to promoting the construction of a new development pattern across the country, and play a leading and leading role.
To build a new development pattern, we must unswervingly implement the new development concept. It has been five years since we proposed the new development concept, and a high degree of consensus has been formed in various aspects, and the practice is constantly deepening. Implementing the new development concept inevitably requires building a new development pattern, which is due to the combined effect of historical logic and realistic logic. It is necessary to adhere to the system concept, strengthen forward-looking thinking, overall planning, strategic layout, and overall promotion of development in various fields, strengthen policy coordination and cooperation, so that all aspects of development can promote each other, and the practice of implementing new development concepts will continue to lead in depth.
4. To build a new development pattern, we must grasp several important points of focus
The construction of a new development pattern is a systematic project. It is necessary to “manipulate the essentials above”, strengthen strategic planning and top-level design, and “define the details below” to grasp the focus of work.
One is to accelerate the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system. This is an important basis for smoothing the national economic cycle and enhancing the main body of the domestic cycle. Economic activity is a dynamic cyclical process. It is necessary to promote in-depth reforms and strengthen policy guidance, and strive to break through the key blocking points that restrict the economic cycle. It is necessary to meet domestic demand as the basic foothold, organically combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with the deepening of supply-side structural reform, and strive to improve the adaptability of the supply system to domestic demand, so as to form a higher level of demand pulling supply and supply creating demand dynamic equilibrium. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of a modern circulation system, improve hardware and software, channels and platforms, and consolidate an important foundation for domestic and international dual circulation.
The second is to accelerate scientific and technological self-reliance. This is the key to ensuring the smooth domestic circulation and shaping my country’s new advantages in the international circulation. It is necessary to enhance the sense of responsibility and crisis, throw away illusions, face up to reality, fight the tough battle of key core technologies, and speed up the overcoming of “stuck neck” technologies in important fields. It is necessary to fully stimulate the innovative vitality of talents, cultivate, introduce and make good use of talents in an all-round way, create more world-class scientific and technological leaders and innovative teams, and cultivate a reserve army of young scientific and technological talents with international competitiveness. It is necessary to provide a good environment and service guarantee for scientists and international students to return to China to engage in research and development, study, work and life, so that they can make the best use of their talents and make the best use of them to serve the country.
The third is to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial chain and supply chain. This is an urgent need to stabilize the main body of the domestic cycle and enhance the ability to drive the international cycle. Manufacturing is the lifeline of my country’s economy, the foundation of a country, and the foundation of a strong country. In the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, my country’s complete manufacturing system has played a crucial supporting role, once again proving the importance of manufacturing to the development and security of the country, especially the big country. Strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain should be placed in a more important position, and efforts should be made to build an independent, controllable, safe and efficient industrial chain supply chain. It is necessary to systematically sort out the industrial chain and supply chain of key industries, find out the weak links, identify the risk points, do a good job in strategic design and precise policy implementation by industry, and speed up the improvement of the shortcomings of the industrial chain and supply chain. Nodes are autonomous and controllable. It is necessary to take effective measures to improve the rootedness of enterprises and promote the orderly transfer of industries in the country. Even if they are transferred abroad, they must find ways to keep the key links of the industrial chain in the country.
The fourth is to promote the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. The urban-rural economic cycle is an important aspect of the domestic cycle, and it is also a key factor to ensure a healthy proportional relationship between the domestic and international cycles. Realizing the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is a major task in building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, and an inevitable requirement for solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development. It is necessary to insist on solving the “three rural” issues as the top priority of the whole party’s work, and comprehensively implement the rural revitalization strategy. It is necessary to realize the effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, continue to promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas in areas where poverty alleviation has been removed, and promote economic and social development and the improvement of people’s lives. Guaranteeing the security of the supply of important agricultural products such as grain is the top priority in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. The issue of food security must not be taken lightly. It is necessary to ensure that grains are basically self-sufficient and food rations are absolutely safe, and that the Chinese people’s rice bowls are firmly in their own hands. It is necessary to persist in promoting the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, optimize the structure of agricultural production, optimize the regional distribution of agricultural production, and strengthen the construction of functional areas for grain production, protected areas for the production of important agricultural products, and advantageous areas for characteristic agricultural products.
The fifth is to improve people’s quality of life. This is the starting point and end point of the smooth domestic circulation, and it is also the key connection point for the mutual promotion of domestic and international circulation. Adapting to changes in the needs of the people, striving to do well in various livelihood undertakings, and making people’s lives better are the fundamental goals of socialist production. Optimizing the distribution structure and developing and expanding the middle-income group is conducive to enhancing the endogenous driving force for high-quality development, and is a key link in smoothing the national economic cycle. It is necessary to adhere to the principle of distribution according to work and the coexistence of multiple distribution methods, increase the proportion of labor remuneration in the primary distribution, improve the reasonable wage growth mechanism, and explore the use of land, capital and other factors. Effectively protect the treatment and rights and interests of laborers, and continuously expand the middle-income group. We must adhere to the problem orientation, seek more benefits for people’s livelihood, and solve more worries about people’s livelihood, insist on doing our best and do what we can, speed up the improvement of shortcomings and weaknesses, solidly promote common prosperity, and continuously enhance the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security. .
Sixth, we must firmly adhere to the bottom line of safe development. This is an important prerequisite and guarantee for building a new development pattern, and it is also the proper meaning of the topic of smoothing the domestic cycle. The Central Plenary Session has made strategic arrangements for overall development and security, which is of great guiding significance for better advancing my country’s economic and social development in a complex environment. It is necessary to adhere to the overall national security concept, adhere to the supremacy of national interests, take people’s security as the purpose, and take political security as the foundation, and strengthen the national security system and capacity building. We must properly grasp the relationship between openness and security, weave a solid open safety net, and strengthen our ability to dynamically safeguard national security in an open environment. It is necessary to put the protection of people’s lives and safety in the first place, comprehensively improve the ability to ensure public security, and promote the people to live and work in peace and contentment, social stability and order, and long-term stability of the country.
V. Improve the ability and level of party leaders to implement new development concepts and build a new development pattern
In the face of the current complex and severe domestic and international environment and the arduous task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, it is necessary to ensure that the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee are effectively implemented, and orders and prohibitions are enforced. It is necessary to implement the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee in all aspects of coordinating the promotion of the “five-in-one” overall layout and the coordinated promotion of the “four comprehensive” strategic layout, adhere to and improve the system and mechanism of the party’s leadership of economic and social development, and provide the foundation for the realization of high-quality development. ensure.
The world today is going through major changes unseen in a century. Such major changes are not a one-time event, a change in a region or a country, but a change in the world, a change in the times, and a change in history. Whether we can cope with this big change well depends on whether we have the wisdom to recognize change, the ability to adapt, and the courage to seek change. The ancients said: “If you plan ahead, you will prosper; if you plan in advance, you will perish.” It is necessary to strengthen strategic thinking, maintain strategic focus, unify planning for affairs with planning for the situation, planning for the present and planning for the future, and adjust strategic strategies in a timely manner according to the development and changes of the situation. Strengthen the strategic planning for the medium and long term, and firmly grasp the strategic initiative.
The people are the greatest strength of our party’s governance and the deepest foundation of the party and the country. The lessons of history have profoundly revealed to us that all political forces that deviate from the people, deviate from the people, and deviate from the people will eventually go to the opposite side of the people and lose their support. We must always breathe, share destiny, and be heart-to-heart with the people, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood connection between the party and the people. We must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, adhere to the people’s dominant position, and ensure that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people. It is necessary to carry forward the work style of seeking truth from facts, strengthen investigation and research, listen to the voices of the masses, understand the will of the masses, and earnestly solve the people’s worries, relieve the people’s grievances, warm the people’s hearts, forbid formalism and bureaucracy, and continue to advance the fight against corruption.
To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must have a team of cadres with strong politics and the ability to lead the modernization drive. It is necessary to in-depth summarize, learn and apply the valuable experience of the Communist Party of China over the past 100 years, educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to adhere to the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, not forget the original intention, keep in mind the mission, and make unremitting struggle for the cause of the party and the people. It is necessary to fully implement the party’s organizational line in the new era, strengthen the education and training of cadres, especially the training of young cadres, and improve the ability of leading groups and cadres at all levels to implement new development concepts and build a new development pattern. It is necessary to strengthen the incentive and protection of cadres who dare to take responsibility and be good at acting, and guide the entrepreneurial orientation of officers with the correct employment orientation, so that those cadres who want to do things, are willing to do things, and can do things can have a better use.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have repeatedly emphasized that the whole party should attach great importance to and effectively prevent and resolve various major risks. In January 2018, at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I emphasized that “enhancing the awareness of urgency and preventing risks and challenges must be consistent.” Put forward a clear request, which mentions what should we do if a serious infectious disease like SARS occurs? In January 2019, in the speech delivered by the main leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial level, insisting on bottom-line thinking and focusing on preventing and resolving major risks, I once again emphasized the prevention and resolution of major risks from 9 aspects, focusing on requiring leading cadres to shoulder the responsibility of preventing and resolving major risks. Political responsibility for major risks. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 this year has fully demonstrated the importance and necessity of emphasizing prevention and resolution of major risks. We must take the prevention and resolution of major risks as an extremely important task, and we must not slack off in the slightest. We must do a good job of normalizing epidemic prevention and control without slackening, and win the overall victory in the fight against the epidemic. We must pay close attention to those major risks that may delay or even interrupt the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, comprehensively study and judge, make overall plans, respond effectively, and do our best to avoid them from happening. Regarding the specific risks faced by various economic and social fields, we must enhance our foresight and initiative, formulate response plans in advance, and try to eliminate them in the bud.
The rise of a big country can never be easy and smooth, and it is bound to go through some hard trials and struggles. The whole party must clearly understand the long-term, complex, and arduous nature of the great struggle on the road ahead, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, increase the awareness of urgency, develop the fighting spirit, and improve the fighting ability. It is necessary not only to have the courage to fight, but also to be good at fighting, and pay attention to the art and strategy of struggle. We must make good use of the magic weapon of the united front, unite the majority, and do a good job of a great alliance. We must adhere to the path of peaceful development, make good use of multilateral mechanisms, and make better use of the power of the international system to contain unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism. We must do a good job of publicity, especially external publicity, build up the image of a responsible major country for peaceful development, and strive for the widest possible understanding and support of the international community.
This time, the CPC Central Committee formulated the planning proposal, which unifies strengthening the top-level design and insisting on asking the people, emphasizing the promotion of democracy, opening the door to asking for policies, and brainstorming. The scope of consultation, the number of participants, and the variety of forms are unprecedented. It is necessary to formulate the outline of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, special plans and local plans according to the “Suggestions”, pay attention to listening to the voices of the people, and gather the wisdom of the people. The planning of each region should be based on the actual situation, seek truth from facts, leave room for it, and should not overweight it at every level. It is necessary to adhere to and improve the mechanism for the effective implementation of the plan, improve the dynamic monitoring, mid-term evaluation, and summary evaluation mechanism in the implementation of the plan, and improve the execution and implementation of the plan.
Comrades! Next year, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. The Party Central Committee is making an overall design for the celebration activities, and the party committees at all levels must implement them carefully after the decision is made. We must carry forward the past and usher in the future, and mobilize the entire party to be more energetic and promising, and unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to create new historical achievements!
