Time has carved a solid step, and history has witnessed a magnificent March.
Since its founding, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has United and led all the struggles of the people of China in order to build China into a modern power and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Through the continuous struggle of the party and the people, we have achieved the first century-long goal and are moving forward to the second century-long goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way.
At the critical moment of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, our party will hold the 20th National Congress soon, and make a macro outlook on the two-step strategic arrangement of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way, focusing on the strategic tasks and major initiatives in the next five years.
In the new era and new journey, what kind of modernization we are advancing, how to take the road to a powerful socialist modernization country, and how to make a good start are major issues that the Supreme Leader General Secretary has been thinking and planning. Recently, Qiushi magazine published the important speech delivered by the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the Second Plenary Session of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee on October 29th, 2020, which said that implementing the new development concept in the new development stage will inevitably require building a new development pattern. In this important speech, the general secretary put forward clear requirements for implementing the spirit of the plenary session from the following five aspects, and expounded a series of directional, fundamental and strategic major issues in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
— — "correctly understand the international and domestic situation."The world’s unprecedented great change has entered an accelerated evolution period, and the international environment is becoming increasingly complicated. China’s continued development has many advantages and conditions, but it also faces many difficulties and challenges. 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 opportunities and challenges; Crisis and opportunity coexist, crisis is organic, crisis 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. Facing the complicated and severe international and domestic situation, we should strengthen our awareness of opportunities and risks, accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, take the initiative to seek changes, be brave in sailing against the wind, be good at turning crises into opportunities, and make a good start for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
— — "Fully grasp the new stage of development".The new development stage 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 the development of our country. Entering a new stage of development is a great leap in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China has built a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled and won the battle against poverty, which has created favorable conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. China’s socialist modernization has many important characteristics, such as the huge population, the common prosperity of all people, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the harmonious coexistence between man and nature and the peaceful development. Practice shows that Chinese-style modernization not only conforms to the reality of China, but also embodies the law of socialist construction and the law of human social development. China should unswervingly promote Chinese modernization, promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, and constantly make new and greater contributions to mankind.
— — "Focus on building a new development pattern".Building a new development pattern with domestic macro-cycle as the main body and domestic and international dual-cycle promoting each other is an important decision made according to the changes of China’s development stage, environment and conditions, especially based on the changes of China’s comparative advantage. It is a systematic and deep-seated change that concerns the overall situation and a strategic plan based on the present and with a long-term perspective. It is necessary to accurately grasp the strategic concept of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern from the overall situation and strategic height: building a new development pattern is a first move to grasp the initiative of development, not a forced move and a stopgap measure; It is an open domestic and international double cycle, not a closed domestic single cycle; It is based on the domestic big cycle on the basis of the national unified big market, and not all localities engage in small self-cycles.
— — "To build a new development pattern, we must grasp several important points".Building a new development pattern is a systematic project. It is necessary to "focus on the top", strengthen strategic planning and top-level design, and "divide it into details" to grasp the focus of work. It is necessary to speed up the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system, smooth the national economic cycle, and enhance the main position of the domestic big cycle; It is necessary to speed up the self-reliance of science and technology, ensure the smooth flow of domestic circulation, and shape China’s new advantages in the international circulation; It is necessary to promote the optimization and upgrading of the supply chain of the industrial chain, stabilize the dominant position of the domestic big cycle, and enhance the driving ability in the international big cycle; It is necessary to promote the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and ensure the healthy relationship between domestic and international cycles; It is necessary to improve people’s quality of life and constantly enhance people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security; We must firmly hold the bottom line of safe development and better promote China’s economic and social development in a complex environment.
— — "improve the ability and level of party leaders to implement the new development concept and build a new development pattern."In the face of the complicated and severe domestic and international environment and the arduous task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we must ensure that the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee are effectively implemented and the orders are prohibited. It is necessary to implement the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee to promote the overall layout of the "five in one" and coordinate the promotion of all aspects of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, uphold and improve the institutional mechanism for the party to lead economic and social development, and provide a fundamental guarantee for achieving high-quality development. It is necessary to strengthen strategic thinking, maintain strategic strength and firmly grasp the strategic initiative; We must adhere to the people-centered development thought, adhere to the people’s dominant position, and ensure that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people; It is necessary to build a contingent of cadres with excellent political skills and the ability to lead the modernization drive; It is extremely important to prevent and resolve major risks, and we must not slack off; We must clearly understand the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the great struggle on the road ahead, adhere to the bottom line thinking, enhance our sense of hardship, carry forward the spirit of struggle and improve our struggle skills.
The next five years will be a crucial period for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and doing a good job in these five years is very important for realizing the goal of the second century. In the strong atmosphere of the whole party and the whole country welcoming the 20th Party Congress victory, revisiting the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and thoroughly studying and understanding the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary at the special seminar will surely further unite the majestic power of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to forge ahead with one heart and one mind, and forge ahead courageously in the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way!
