Promoting high-quality development in the practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the supreme leader in the new era

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that China’s economy has changed from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and it is in the key period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. Building a modern economic system is an urgent requirement for crossing the barrier and a strategic goal for China’s development. Crossing the threshold of economic transformation and promoting high-quality development is a brand-new practice of economic work under the new historical conditions. To solve a series of difficult problems, scientific theoretical guidance and the spirit of reform and innovation are urgently needed.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in observing the general situation, seeking the overall situation and doing practical things, successfully controlled the overall situation of China’s economic development, and formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era with the new development concept as the main content in practice, which provided scientific theoretical guidance and practical guidance for promoting high-quality development, mainly embodied in seven "persistences": persisting in strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party over economic work to ensure China’s economic development in the right direction; Adhere to the people-centered development thought, which runs through the overall layout of "five in one" and the coordinated promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layout; Adhere to the adaptation and grasp the new normal of leading economic development, base on the overall situation and grasp the law; Insist on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, give better play to the role of the government, and resolutely remove institutional and institutional obstacles to economic development; Insist on adapting to the main contradictions and changes in China’s economic development, improve macro-control, make a choice according to circumstances, prescribe a correct prescription, and take promoting supply-side structural reform as the main line of economic work; Adhering to the problem-oriented deployment of the new strategy of economic development has a far-reaching impact on China’s economic and social development and reform; Adhere to the correct work strategies and methods, strive for progress steadily, maintain strategic strength, adhere to the bottom line thinking, and move forward step by step.

　　These seven "Persistences" cover the political guarantee, purpose, law understanding, system reform, macro-control, strategic layout and working methods of China’s economic reform and development in the new era. They are a systematic induction and summary of the practice of economic reform and development in the new era, fully embody the inheritance and development of Marxist political economy, dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and are a scientific theoretical summary of the practice of central economic work since the new era, which is a very valuable spiritual wealth of the party and the country.

　　Theory originates from practice, is refined above practice, and then guides and promotes practice. This is the methodology of our Marxist political party to promote practice and theoretical innovation. To implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thoughts of the Supreme Leader in the new era, we should not only learn documents, speeches and original works, but also accurately understand the spiritual essence and theoretical connotation. More importantly, we should use these important thoughts to guide economic practice and turn scientific theories into high-quality development reality.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, many localities and enterprises, under the guidance of the supreme leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era, have been brave enough to take responsibility, boldly explore and innovate, and strive to solve practical problems, and have achieved remarkable results and accumulated important experience, which is worthy of good summary, publicity and promotion. These successful cases not only prove the correctness of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era by vivid practice, but also provide a vivid learning model for all aspects to solve practical problems and promote high-quality development. Learning and popularizing these successful experiences is conducive to promoting the ability and level of economic work in all aspects and accelerating the economic development on a high-quality track.

　　Under the unified organization of the Central Organization Department, the Office of the Central Committee of Finance and Economics, together with relevant departments, central media, key universities and cadre education and training institutions, carefully selected 26 typical cases of practicing Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and compiled "Implementing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, Overcoming Difficulties in Reform, Development and Stability, Economic Construction", which was used as a teaching material for the theme education activities of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember the Mission". The cases selected in this book cover supply-side structural reform, innovation-driven development, rural reform, regional coordinated development, state-owned enterprise reform, commercial system reform, private enterprise development, urban management, "Belt and Road" construction, free trade zone construction, improving business environment, financial services to the real economy, maintaining energy security and other important fields, and the main bodies of the cases include local governments, enterprises, financial institutions, scientific research units and so on. Each case closely follows the real problems, introduces the successful practices of relevant units, and summarizes and refines some universal experience and enlightenment, which has strong practicability and can be used for reference.

　　The outstanding feature of this set of case teaching materials is to reflect the problem orientation, and each case is aimed at the difficult problems with universality in current practice. For example, how to play the role of the government and the market to promote de-capacity, how to promote mixed ownership reform in large state-owned enterprises, how to improve the business environment, attract foreign investment and promote the development of private enterprises, how to make finance better serve the real economy, and so on. The main unit of each case, under the guidance of the supreme leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era, works creatively in close connection with its own reality, effectively transforming the universal requirements of the CPC Central Committee into concrete practice of high-quality development. By studying, studying and thinking about these specific cases, leading cadres at all levels engaged in economic work will be vividly educated and inspired, so that they can practice Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era more effectively in practical work. Leading cadres engaged in other work will also get useful enlightenment by reading this book.

　　It is the initial intention and mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Economic development is the foundation of social progress, people’s happiness and national rejuvenation. Promoting high-quality economic development is the only way to realize the party’s initial mission. In the theme education activities of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember Mission", organizing cadres, especially leading cadres engaged in economic work, to learn these cases is conducive to promoting the theme education activities to go deeper and achieve practical results, so as to promote the vivid practice of high-quality economic development and realize the party’s initial intention and mission.
