Important strategic task related to China’s overall development —— On accelerating the construction of a new development pattern
(1) 2021 is the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Today’s China is showing a magnificent picture based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development.
Looking at China, people’s enthusiasm for consumption is warming up with the vast land. From the rapid recovery of travel and tourism, from the continuous upsurge of online new consumption, and from the transportation and logistics connecting more than 9.6 million square kilometers of land, we can feel the great potential of China’s strong domestic market. With the global economic recovery, China’s major coastal ports are busy or even "hard to find a box", and a number of maritime ships connect China with the world, demonstrating China’s determination to build a higher level of open economy. Efforts will be made to make the domestic big cycle smoother, make the domestic and international double cycles complement each other, and build a new development pattern showing a good momentum.
The year 2021 is of special importance in the process of China’s modernization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) celebrates its centenary birthday, unites and leads the people of all ethnic groups to build a well-off society in an all-round way, takes advantage of the situation to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March towards the goal of the second centenary. Facing the interweaving of the epidemic situation in the century and the changes in the century, and facing the profound and complex changes in the development environment at home and abroad, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core is far-sighted and sized up the situation, and has made a major strategic decision to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic macro-cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other. The "14th Five-Year Plan" approved by the Fourth Session of the 13th National People’s Congress and the outline of the long-term goals for 2035 depict the grand blueprint for China’s future development and make major work arrangements for accelerating the construction of a new development pattern.
At the National People’s Congress this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development are the tasks that the whole party and the whole country must pay close attention to at present and in the future." During the 27th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "Do a good job in this year’s economic and social development and make progress ‘ Fourteenth Five-Year Plan ’ The first step of China’s development in the period is very important. The first step is to take a steady step, take a new look and achieve new results. " "The whole party must implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively to ensure ‘ Fourteenth Five-Year Plan ’ During the period, China’s development started well and took a good step. " During his inspection tour in Fujian, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to "find a correct position in service and integration to build a new development pattern" and "show greater achievements in service and integration into the new development pattern".
Start a new journey, set sail and start again. China has a clear development orientation, clear goals and clear paths.
(2) A correct understanding of the historical position and development stage of the cause of the party and the people is the fundamental basis for our party to clarify the central tasks at different stages and formulate the line, principles and policies, and it is also an important experience for our party to lead the revolution, construction and reform to win continuously. Entering the new development stage has defined the historical position of China’s development, and to build a new development pattern, we must first deeply understand the new development stage. At present, great historical achievements have been made in building a well-off society in an all-round way, and comprehensive victory has been achieved in the battle against poverty. We are standing at the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "The new stage of development is the stage of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marching towards the goal of the second century. This is a milestone in China’s development process. "
Entering a new stage of development is a great leap in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Since the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), all the struggles that the people of China have united and led are aimed at building China into a modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. From the first five-year plan to the fourteenth five-year plan, the consistent theme is to build China into a socialist modern country. After the development during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength and people’s living standards have leapt to a new level. Building a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled and winning the battle against poverty have made the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation take a new step forward, laying a solid foundation and creating favorable conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way in the new stage of development. Shortly after the founding of New China, our party put forward the goal of building a socialist modern country, and the next 30 years will be a new stage of development for us to fulfill this historical ambition.
Entering a new stage of development, we must profoundly grasp the important characteristics of China’s modernization. The modernization we are promoting is a modernization with a huge population. If 1.4 billion people want to enter the modern society as a whole, it will completely rewrite the modern world map, which is a major event with far-reaching influence in human history. It is the modernization of common prosperity for all the people. We adhere to the people-centered development thought, consciously and actively solve the regional gap, the urban-rural gap and the income gap, and promote social fairness and justice. It is a modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are in harmony. We adhere to the socialist core values, strengthen the people’s spiritual strength, and promote the all-round enrichment of things and the all-round development of people. It is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. We pay attention to the simultaneous promotion of material civilization construction and ecological civilization construction, and take the road of civilized development of production development, affluent life and good ecology. It is a modernization that takes the road of peaceful development. We emphasize mutual benefit and win-win with all countries in the world, promote the building of a community of human destiny, and strive to contribute to the peace and development of mankind. Practice shows that Chinese-style modernization not only conforms to the reality of China and embodies the law of socialist construction, but also conforms to the general trend of the world and embodies the law of human social development.
Entering the new stage of development, we must profoundly grasp the new connotation of the period of important strategic opportunities for China’s development. At present and in the future, China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities, but there are new developments and changes in both opportunities and challenges. Most of them are unprecedented, and overall opportunities outweigh challenges. Internationally, the century-old change has accelerated its evolution, the world has entered a period of turbulent change, and the external environment has become more unstable and uncertain. The key is to accurately understand the key factors that determine the direction of the world’s unprecedented change, maintain strategic strength, grasp strategic initiative, stand on the right side of history, hold high the banner of building a community of human destiny, unswervingly safeguard and lead economic globalization, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and strive to create an external environment conducive to China’s development. Domestically, China has turned to the stage of high-quality development, and its continued development has many advantages and conditions, but it also faces many difficulties and challenges. The key is to look at the problem from a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective, deeply understand the changes in major social contradictions, enhance the system of solving the problem of insufficient development imbalance, deeply understand the people’s yearning for a better life, enhance the pertinence of solving the problem of insufficient development imbalance, deeply understand the fundamentals of long-term economic improvement, and enhance the confidence in solving the problem of insufficient development imbalance, and unswervingly implement it. Generally speaking, crises coexist, crises are organic, crises can turn around, opportunities are more strategic and plastic, challenges are more complex and overall, challenges are unprecedented, and opportunities are unprecedented if we deal with them well.
From now until the middle of this century, it will be 30 years for China to build a socialist modern power in an all-round way. Building a socialist modern country in an all-round way in the new stage of development will not be a smooth sailing process, and we must make even harder efforts.
(3) The strategic issue is the fundamental issue of a political party and a country. With accurate strategic judgment, scientific strategic planning and strategic initiative, the cause of the party and the people will be promising. Looking back at history, in each period, our party always made new strategic decisions according to the new development situation, new historical tasks and new environmental conditions, and led the China to sail to more open waters.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Building a new development pattern is a strategic choice to keep pace with the times and improve China’s economic development level, and it is also a strategic choice to shape China’s new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition." It is necessary to realize that in the face of severe and complicated situations, we must adhere to the bottom line thinking and make ideological preparations and work preparations for dealing with changes in the external environment for a long time. At the same time, many problems we encounter are also medium and long-term, and we must understand them from the perspective of protracted war. Building a new development pattern is put forward according to the changes in China’s development stage, environment and conditions. It is a major decision made with a view to solving medium-and long-term problems and preparing for a protracted war. It is an important way to achieve a long-term balance between stable growth and risk prevention. It is a systematic and deep-seated change that concerns the overall situation. It is a strategic plan based on the present and with a long-term perspective. We should accurately grasp the strategic deployment of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern from the overall situation and strategic height.
Building a new development pattern is a conscious grasp of China’s objective economic laws and development trends, and has a profound practical foundation. Since the reform and opening-up, China has persisted in opening its doors for construction, and successfully achieved a great turning point from closed and semi-closed to all-round opening, which not only developed itself, but also benefited the world. Especially after China’s accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has deeply participated in the international division of labor and integrated into the international cycle, forming a development pattern of "two ends outside" of market and resources, which has played an important role in seizing the opportunity of economic globalization to rapidly enhance economic strength and improve people’s lives. In recent years, with the changes in the global political and economic environment, the trend of anti-globalization has intensified, and the traditional international cycle has obviously weakened. In this case, efforts to build a new development pattern, based on the advantages of domestic market and relying on domestic market, and fully tap the potential of domestic demand are conducive to resolving the impact of external shocks and the decline in external demand, and also conducive to ensuring the basic normal operation of China’s economy and overall stability of the overall social situation in extreme cases. As the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "Only by standing on our own feet and smoothing the domestic circulation can we let the international situation change and always survive and develop with vigor." To build a new development pattern is to enhance our viability, competitiveness, development and sustainability in all kinds of foreseeable and unpredictable storms and stormy waves.
It is not only necessary but also feasible to construct a new development pattern. The proportion of China’s total economic output in the world has risen from less than 2% at the beginning of reform and opening up to more than 17% in 2020, and it has a very large scale. From the perspective of international comparison, the characteristics of big country economies are that domestic demand is dominant and internal circulation is possible. As the second largest economy and the largest manufacturing country in the world, the relationship between domestic economic cycle and international economic cycle has long required adjustment objectively. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have adhered to the strategy of expanding domestic demand, making development more dependent on domestic demand, especially consumer demand. China’s dependence on foreign trade has dropped to 31.8% in 2019, and the ratio of current account surplus to GDP has dropped to about 1% at present. The contribution rate of domestic demand to economic growth has remained above 90% in most years and over 100% in some years. China has a population of 1.4 billion, and its per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars. It is the largest and most potential consumer market in the world, with huge room for growth. In the coming period, the characteristics of China’s domestic market leading economic cycle will become more obvious, and the domestic demand potential of economic growth will be continuously released. We are fully qualified to put our development foothold at home, rely more on the domestic market to achieve economic development, build a new development pattern and reshape new competitive advantages.
With the continuous improvement of China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength, the relationship between China and the world is undergoing profound changes. In the past, when our level of development was low, we were more complementary to others. Now that our level of development has improved, our competitiveness with others has increased. This is completely an objective reality that does not depend on human will in the process of historical development. Whether adapting to the changes in the global political and economic environment or adapting to the laws of China’s economic development requires us to build a new development pattern.
(D) General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We are building a new development pattern, which is by no means a closed domestic single cycle, but an open and mutually reinforcing domestic and international double cycle." To speed up the construction of a new development pattern, we must properly handle the relationship between domestic and international cycles.
It should be recognized that the new development pattern with the domestic macro-cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual-cycle promoting each other is a whole, and one aspect cannot be separated and emphasized unilaterally. China’s economy has been deeply integrated into the world economy, and its industrial correlation and interdependence with many countries around the world are relatively high. Domestic demand and external demand are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. China-Europe trains have accumulated more than 35,000 trains, and the number of cities opened has expanded from Chongqing to over 60, covering the whole of Europe. On this international channel, cross-border e-commerce has found a new way to go to sea, and freight trains have become "new postmen" in Eurasia. This fully shows that taking the domestic macro-cycle as the main body is by no means a closed operation behind closed doors, but by exerting the potential of domestic demand, the domestic market and the international market can be better connected, and the domestic macro-cycle can attract global resource elements, make better use of the domestic and international markets and resources, improve the ability to allocate resources in the world, and better strive for strategic initiative in open development.
China’s super-large-scale market potential should be fully tapped with the domestic large-scale circulation as the main body. A set of data is intriguing: as of March 24, China’s express delivery business exceeded 20 billion pieces this year, close to the level of 2015; 1-mdash this year; In February, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 33.8% year-on-year, 1-mdash; It increased by 6.4% in February, with an average growth of 3.2% in two years, and the market sales maintained growth; The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 35.1% year-on-year, 1-mdash higher than that in 2019; In February, the growth rate was 16.9%, with an average growth rate of 8.1% in two years, which was a higher level in the same period in recent years; In February, China’s movie box office reached 12.265 billion yuan, creating a global single-month box office record. In terms of demand, China has a population of 1.4 billion, including more than 400 million middle-income groups; From the supply point of view, China has the largest, most comprehensive and complete manufacturing system in the world, with 130 million market players and more than 170 million talents with higher education or various professional skills. It has a strong production capacity based on the domestic market, which can promote the integration and innovation of global factor resources and maximize the scale effect and agglomeration effect. Tightly grasping the main line of supply-side structural reform, adhering to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, paying attention to demand-side management, and making production, distribution, circulation and consumption rely more on the domestic market, we can form a higher level of dynamic balance of demand pulling supply and supply creating demand, and improve the overall efficiency of the national economic system.
To realize the mutual promotion of domestic and international double circulation, it is necessary to implement high-level opening up and open up a new situation of win-win cooperation. When the epidemic brought heavy losses to the global economy, China not only provided support and shared experiences to many countries, but also held major international economic and trade activities such as Canton Fair, Service Trade Fair and China International Import Expo(CIIE) one after another, and declared its firm determination to open wider to the outside world with sincere actions. When unilateralism and trade protectionism prevail and economic globalization encounters great challenges, the door of China’s opening to the outside world is not closed, but it is getting wider and wider. In 2020, China’s total import and export of goods in the whole year was 32,155.7 billion yuan, up by 1.9% over the previous year. The total value of import, export and export both reached record highs and continued to rank first in global trade in goods. The actual use of foreign direct investment in the whole year was 1 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.2% over the previous year. China’s economic development in the past 40 years has been achieved under open conditions, and it is the consensus of China society that China’s economy must achieve high-quality development under more open conditions in the future. Only by scientifically understanding the relationship between domestic macro-cycle and domestic and international dual-cycle, responding to "anti-globalization" with high-level openness, responding to the so-called "divestment theory" with improved business environment, responding to the so-called "decoupling theory" with the attraction of super-large-scale market, building a new open economic system with a higher level, and implementing a wider, wider and deeper opening up can we continue to promote reform and development through openness and achieve high-quality development under more open conditions.
In practice, to build a new development pattern, it is necessary to clarify vague understanding and prevent misunderstanding. For example, they do things in their own way, draw the land as a prison, and do not care about building a unified national market and engaging in their own small cycle; For example, it is considered that smooth economic circulation means smooth logistics and low-level logistics circulation; For example, when it comes to solving the technical problem of "sticking the neck", it does everything by itself, engages in redundant construction, and focuses on the "high-rise" project, regardless of the objective reality and industrial base, and the result is an unfinished project; For example, when it comes to expanding domestic demand and forming a large domestic market, it starts to borrow blindly to expand investment, over-stimulate consumption, and even engages in projects with high energy consumption and high emissions … … If these problems are not taken seriously, it will have an adverse impact on building a new development pattern. Only by accurately understanding the connotation of the new development pattern can we take the first step and see a new atmosphere in the practice of building a new development pattern.
(5) Idea is the forerunner of action, and certain development practices are led by certain development ideas. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "The development in the new era and new stage must implement the new development concept and must be high-quality development." "The new development concept and high-quality development are internally unified, and high-quality development is the development that embodies the new development concept." To build a new development pattern, we must unswervingly implement the new development concept, constantly solve development problems, cultivate development advantages, and better achieve high-quality development.
One of the most important aspects for our party to lead the people in governing the country and politics is to answer the important question of what kind of development to achieve and how to achieve it. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made a scientific judgment on the economic situation, put forward many major theories and ideas on economic and social development, and made timely adjustments to development concepts and ideas, among which the new development concept is the most important and the most important, which has led to historic achievements and changes in China’s economic development. The new development concept is a systematic theoretical system, which answers a series of theoretical and practical questions about the purpose, motive force, way and path of development, and expounds the political stand, value orientation, development mode and development path of our party. Practice has fully proved that the new development concept is a baton and a traffic light, which is a concentrated expression of China’s development ideas, development direction and development focus, and is the direction of managing the overall situation, managing the fundamentals and managing the long term.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the new development concept gave full play to its leading and guiding role, providing a guide for China to transform its economic development mode, optimize its economic structure, transform its growth momentum and move towards high-quality development. In 2020, China’s GDP will exceed 100 trillion yuan, the urbanization rate of permanent residents will exceed 60%, and people’s demands for a better life will continue to increase … … At present, the major social contradictions in our country have undergone historic changes, and the contradictions and problems in development are mainly reflected in the quality of development, which requires us to put the quality of development in a more prominent position and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of development. Practice tells us that the more difficult and challenging development is, the more confident we must be, the more determined we must be, insisting that the green hills will not relax, insisting on guiding the overall development with new development concepts, making efforts to solve structural and institutional contradictions and problems that restrict development, and striving to create a new realm of development.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee made a systematic plan and strategic deployment for China’s development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and made it clear that the theme was to promote high-quality development and that the principle of adhering to the new development concept must be followed. "High-quality development is the development that embodies the new development concept, and it is the economic development from ‘ Is there ’ Turn ‘ Ok ’ 。” Implementing the new development concept has clarified the guiding principles of China’s modernization, and building a new development pattern has clarified the path choice of China’s economic modernization. Based on the new development stage and building a new development pattern, only by completely, accurately and comprehensively implementing the new development concept, making it work together to form a joint force, insisting on quality first and efficiency first, effectively changing the development mode, and promoting quality change, efficiency change and power change can we achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development.
The new development concept is a whole, insisting on innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development. The whole party and the whole country should unify their thinking, coordinate their actions and forge ahead. Whether at the central or departmental level, whether at the provincial level or below, we must fully grasp, accurately understand and fully implement the new development concept in the whole process of economic and social development and in all fields.
(6) "No matter how many times you have heard the growth story of China, it still has amazing capabilities." Looking forward to the future of China, some international media say so. The important aspect of this "amazing ability" is our party’s ability to lead development.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We should strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over socialist modernization" and "promote the Party’s leadership over socialist modernization to be more scientific and reasonable in functional allocation, more complete and perfect in system and mechanism, and more efficient in operation and management". The broad masses of party member cadres, especially leading cadres at all levels, must base themselves on the two overall situations, be mindful of "the leader of the country", constantly improve their political judgment, political understanding and political execution, constantly improve their political ability, strategic vision and professional level in grasping the new development stage, implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern, dare to take responsibility and be good at doing things, and implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.
Accelerating the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system is an important basis for smoothing the national economic cycle and strengthening the main position of the domestic big cycle. The key to building a new development pattern lies in the unimpeded economic cycle, and the formation of a strong domestic market is its important support. It is necessary to establish an effective system to expand domestic demand, release the potential of domestic demand, expand residents’ consumption, and raise the level of consumption, so as to make the construction of a super-large domestic market a sustainable historical process. Efforts should be made to break through the key blocking points that restrict the economic cycle, organically combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with deepening the structural reform of the supply side, improve the adaptability of the supply system to domestic demand, improve the integrity of the industrial chain and supply chain, and make the domestic market the main source of final demand.
Speeding up the self-reliance of science and technology is the key to ensure the smooth domestic circulation and shape China’s new advantages in the international circulation. The most essential feature of building a new development pattern is to achieve a high level of self-reliance and self-improvement, and we must put more emphasis on independent innovation. Only by mastering the core technologies in our own hands can we truly grasp the initiative of competition and development and fundamentally safeguard national economic security, national defense security and other security. We should adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China’s modernization, strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, comprehensively strengthen the deployment of scientific and technological innovation, pool superior resources, vigorously and orderly promote the system and mechanism of "unveiling the list and taking the lead" in tackling innovative problems, strengthen the docking between innovation chain and the industrial chain, lay a solid battle for key core technologies, and accelerate the capture of "stuck-neck" technologies in important fields.
Promoting the optimization and upgrading of the industrial chain supply chain is an urgent need to stabilize the main position of the domestic big cycle and enhance the driving ability in the international big cycle. Manufacturing is the lifeblood of China’s economy, the foundation of the country and the foundation of a strong country. The security and stability of industrial chain supply chain is the basis of building a new development pattern. In the fight against the epidemic, China’s complete manufacturing system has played a vital supporting role, once again proving the importance of manufacturing to the development and security of the country, especially big countries. It is necessary to promote the completion of short boards and forging long boards as a whole, implement key core technology research projects for weak links in the industry, give more importance to enhancing the toughness and competitiveness of the industrial chain, and strive to build an independent, controllable, safe and efficient industrial chain supply chain.
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 the healthy relationship between the domestic and international cycles. Realizing the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is an important task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and an inevitable requirement to solve the problem of insufficient development imbalance. We should persist in taking solving the problems concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers as the top priority of the Party’s work, fully implement the strategy of rural revitalization, persist in promoting the structural reform of agricultural supply side, implement the strategy of storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology, ensure food security and ensure that Chinese’s rice bowl is firmly in its own hands.
Improving people’s quality of life is the starting point and the end result of unblocking the domestic big cycle, and it is also the key connection point of mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles. It is the fundamental purpose of socialist production to adapt to the changes in people’s needs, strive to run various livelihood undertakings well, and make people’s lives better and better. Optimizing the distribution structure and developing middle-income groups are conducive to enhancing the endogenous motivation of high-quality development and are a key link to smooth the national economic cycle. It is necessary to adhere to the principle that distribution according to work is the main body and various modes of distribution coexist, increase the proportion of labor remuneration in the initial distribution, solidly promote common prosperity, and continuously enhance the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security.
Firmly holding the bottom line of safe development is an important prerequisite and guarantee for building a new development pattern, and it is also the proper meaning in the problem of unblocking the domestic big cycle. The more open it is, the more attention should be paid to safety. We should coordinate the two major events of development and safety, enhance our own competitiveness, open supervision and risk prevention and control capabilities, and attach importance to the use of internationally accepted rules to safeguard national security. We must adhere to the overall concept of national security, grasp the relationship between openness and security, weave an open safety net, enhance our ability to dynamically safeguard national security in the environment of opening to the outside world, and promote people’s livelihood, social stability and order, and long-term national stability.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "As China enters a new stage of development, reform is also facing new tasks, and we must take greater courage and take more measures to break down deep-seated institutional and institutional obstacles." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have launched a series of major reform measures around implementing the new development concept, promoting high-quality development and opening wider to the outside world, and formed a series of theoretical achievements, institutional achievements and practical achievements, which have made the construction of a new development pattern have obvious institutional advantages and a solid foundation for reform. We should pay more attention to deepening reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous motivation for development, be good at using reform thinking and methods, and make overall consideration of short-term response and medium-and long-term development. We should not only make a good strategic plan, but also make good decisions at key points, form an institutional mechanism conducive to the implementation of new development concepts, promote deeper reforms, and implement a higher level of opening up, thus providing a strong impetus for building a new development pattern.
(7) "It is just a hundred years of elegance to have great achievements in the future." The Communist Party of China (CPC) people are firm in their ideals and beliefs, keep in mind their original mission, take root in the people, and always remain full of vigor and high morale, and strive hard to achieve the goal of the second century and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The prospects are bright, and drums are used to urge the levy. Time and potential are on our side, which is our strength and confidence.
We have great confidence in forging ahead in the new journey. China’s development and progress has never been achieved in a calm, but with the courage of "the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more forward it is" and the enthusiasm of "opening roads on every mountain and bridging bridges when encountering water", it has been achieved in tackling difficulties and stepping over bumps. Today, with the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, strong mobilization ability and comprehensive strength, super-large-scale market advantages and domestic demand potential, and huge human capital and human resources, we have all the more reason to believe that China has an extremely broad stage, a very deep foundation and a very strong kinetic energy, and will be on the track of high-quality development based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern.
Striving for a new journey, we dare not be complacent. Those who walk a hundred miles are half-ninety, and the closer they are to the goal of national rejuvenation, the more they can’t slack off and the more they have to redouble their efforts. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed: "Socialism is done, and the new era is fought." It should be noted that China’s economy is in the key period of transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum, and there are still many shortcomings and weaknesses in achieving high-quality development. We must never be hesitant, wait-and-see, lazy or weak, let alone sleep on the credit book. We must know how to bear heavy burdens, overcome difficulties and constantly enhance the courage and strength to forge ahead. We should also see that the world today is undergoing a great change that has never happened in a hundred years. A century-long change is not a one-time event, a change in one region and one country, but a change in the world, times and history. The epidemic situation has accelerated the evolution of the international pattern, and the pressure and challenges have increased under the "more external environment against the wind and water". We should have the wisdom to change, the ability to respond to changes, and the courage to change, unify seeking things with seeking the situation, seeking the present and seeking the future, adjust our strategies in time in response to the development and changes of the situation, and firmly grasp the initiative in development.
"Dapeng rises with the wind one day, soaring up to Wan Li." Building a new development pattern is an important strategic task related to China’s overall development, the only way to promote economic modernization, and the first move to grasp the initiative of development. On the new great journey, unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, continue to be modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness, continue to work hard and forge ahead with determination, mobilize all the positive factors that can be mobilized, unite all the forces that can be United, and do our best to do our own thing, and we will certainly be able to ensure a good start in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and create a great historical cause that belongs to our generation!
