Times: Draw a new blueprint for the "post-epidemic era"

President Xi Jinping attended the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference in Beijing on January 17 and delivered a speech entitled "Firm Confidence and Courage to Move Forward and Create a Better World in the Post-EPIDEMIC Era". Today's world is undergoing major changes unprecedented in a century. This change is not limited to one thing at a time, one country and one domain, but a profound and magnificent change of the times. The changes of the times and the epidemic of the century are superimposed on each other, and the world has entered a new period of turbulent change. Defeating the epidemic and building a post-epidemic world are major issues of common concern to the people of all countries in the world, and they are also urgent and major issues that we must answer.

Unswervingly improve the mechanism, and the people's livelihood guarantee will advance with the times. We need to accurately identify changes in the overall situation, the general trend, and the big test, actively respond to changes, and take the initiative to seek changes, and promote the construction of a new governance ethics and value system. The mainland's state system and national governance system have withstood severe tests in this epidemic test, highlighting the remarkable advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. In the post-epidemic era, we should focus on the professional, standardized and intelligent development of social governance methods, improve and improve the people's livelihood security system arrangements that conform to the historical development reality and benefit all people, and build a "social governance community" for epidemic prevention and control.

Unswerving innovation and development, the consumer economy is in the ascendant. At present, the mainland is subject to people in some core technologies and important raw materials, resulting in a more prominent problem of circular shortcomings in the industrial chain and supply chain. It is necessary to seize the new opportunities given by industrial digitalization and digital industrialization, accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers, pay close attention to the layout of strategic emerging industries and future industries such as digital economy, life and health, and new materials, vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation, and strive to strengthen new growth points and form new momentum for development. It is necessary to accelerate the in-depth integration of the digital economy and industry, help enterprises accelerate digital transformation, enhance strategic response and digital practical capabilities, promote the acceleration of the aggregation of various high-quality elements to leading industries, and open up the "transmission shaft" of domestic and international dual circulation. It is necessary to firmly grasp the important development opportunities of the health industry in the post-epidemic era, vigorously cultivate new growth points in emerging formats such as green consumption and health care consumption, create an online and offline integrated service model, build a good Internet health ecology, improve health service capabilities, and improve the health and well-being of the whole people.

Unswervingly build a community and work together in the fight against the epidemic. Building a community of human health requires the sustained and unremitting efforts of the international community. The mainland needs to support the World Health Organization to play a greater role, increase cooperation in the research and development of vaccines, drugs and diagnostic reagents, and improve their accessibility and affordability until the global epidemic is finally won. The post-epidemic era should be a new era of ecological civilization, not only to build a "community of life in landscapes, forests, fields, lakes, grasses and sands" at the natural ecological level, but also to build a community of human destiny at a broader social and ecological level. Coordinate economic development and ecological protection, adhere to the green development concept of "both green water and green mountains, but also golden mountains and silver mountains", adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment, adhere to the integration of health into all policies, firmly establish the concept that everyone is the first responsible person for their own health, and achieve the comprehensive development of ecological civilization, economy and society and people in the post-epidemic era.
