At the Central Economic Work Conference held a few days ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, profoundly summing up the understanding of the regularity of doing economic work well in the new era, and summarized it as "five musts". Among them, "we must adhere to high-quality development as the last word in the new era" is in the first place.

From "the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way" to "the last word in the new era", the meeting issued a new order to promote high-quality development on the new journey, giving a new positioning for high-quality development.

On the new journey, we must firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development, completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and ensure that the grand blueprint of Chinese-style modernization is turned into a beautiful reality step by step.

The development of the new era and the new stage must be high-quality development

The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 4.3 percent year-on-year, the total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 7.2 percent year-on-year, and the investment in fixed assets increased by 2.9 percent year-on-year...... On December 15, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics for the first 11 months showed that the national economy continued to rebound, high-quality development progressed steadily, and the main expected goals of the annual development are expected to be well completed.

In the face of multiple unexpected factors, China's economy has shown strong resilience in the face of high turbulence: its contribution to global economic growth will reach one-third this year, and it will remain the largest engine of global growth.

Development is the key to solving all China's problems and is the party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country.

Summarizing the valuable experience of leading China's economy to forge ahead in recent years, and studying and judging the current domestic and foreign situations, the Central Economic Work Conference clearly pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to high-quality development as the last word in the new era. This thesis has deepened the understanding of the regularity of doing a good job in economic work in the new era, pointed out the direction of progress and provided a fundamental basis for constantly opening up a new situation in the development of the cause of the party and the country.

It is our party's fine tradition to be good at deepening our understanding in summing up practice and opening up the situation in the course of exploring laws.

"Adhere to high-quality development as the last word in the new era", which is in line with "development is the last word", and the sense of urgency and responsibility to move forward bravely and resolutely is consistent. The deepening of understanding on the new journey fully demonstrates the CPC Central Committee's scientific grasp of economic laws and firm determination to promote high-quality development.

The mainland's economy has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. The new stage of development, the new missions and tasks, and the new development environment have put forward higher and more urgent requirements for the economy to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth, and the issue of the quality of development must be placed in a more prominent position.

The mainland is in the critical stage of changing its development mode, with rising labor costs, increasing resource and environmental constraints, and an extensive development mode that is unsustainable. The proposal of high-quality development is not an expedient measure, let alone an emergency measure, but an objective requirement to adapt to the transformation of new and old kinetic energy for development.

The development of the new era and the new stage must be high-quality development.

There is no way out for low-level redundant construction and simple quantitative expansion. Only by winning by quality and constantly shaping new competitive advantages can we support long-term sustainable and healthy development. Only by continuously improving the quality of economic development and strengthening economic strength can we continue to meet the people's growing needs for a better life.

The more you know, the more you do.

The new positioning of high-quality development has been clear and a new clarion call has been sounded, which will surely gather the majestic force of the whole party and the whole country to grasp development and promote the economy.

Completely, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept

"It is necessary to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with disruptive technologies and cutting-edge technologies, and develop new quality productivity. ”

"New quality productivity" has become a key word for the Central Economic Work Conference to deploy next year's work, and has been selected as one of the "Top Ten New Words" in 2023 released by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center.

"New qualitative productivity" not only has a qualitative leap in development, but also a change in development thinking.

Development practice is guided by the concept of development. High-quality development is the development that embodies the new development concept.

The key to organically unifying the quality and quantity of economic development and achieving synergy lies in the complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, leading the reasonable growth of quantity through effective improvement of quality, and supporting the effective improvement of quality through reasonable growth of quantity.

Advocating innovation and stimulating the change of power.

For the first time, "promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance" will be included in the overall requirements of economic work, and "leading the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation" will be listed as the first of the nine key tasks next year...... A series of deployments of the Central Economic Work Conference clearly point to "grasping innovation is to grasp development, and seeking innovation is to seek the future".

Adhering to innovation and development, shaping new momentum and stimulating new vitality in China's economy will be the fundamental policy for us to respond to changes in the development environment, enhance development momentum, and grasp the initiative in development.

Advocate green and polish the background color of development.

This is a major change in China's energy mix: as of the end of June, the mainland's installed renewable energy capacity reached 1.322 billion kilowatts, historically surpassing coal power and accounting for about 48.8% of the mainland's total installed capacity.

From continuing to defend the blue sky, clear water and pure land, to improving the diversity, stability and sustainability of ecosystems, to actively and steadily promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and planning for development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, the background of China's high-quality economic development will become more and more distinct.

Promote sharing and improve people's livelihood and well-being.

People's happiness and well-being is the ultimate goal of promoting high-quality development.

"Give more prominence to the priority orientation of employment and ensure the stability of employment of key groups", "weave a dense and solid social security net, improve the social assistance system of hierarchical and categorical classification", "accelerate the improvement of the birth support policy system, and develop the silver economy"...... A number of deployments of the Central Economic Work Conference focus on people's livelihood concerns and strengthen people's livelihood construction.

In the process of promoting high-quality development, we should strive to do a good job in various livelihood undertakings, make up for shortcomings in the field of people's livelihood, and solidly promote common prosperity, so that the fruits of development can benefit all people in a more equitable manner.

High-quality development is the theme of the mainland's economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period and beyond.

Innovation has become the primary driving force, coordination has become an endogenous feature, green has become a universal form, openness has become the only way, and sharing has become the fundamental goal.

Accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and grasp the initiative in future development

At the end of the year, the cold wind is cold, but the construction site of Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province is in full swing.

Since its establishment more than 6 years ago, from scratch, from blueprint to reality, a benchmark city striving to create high-quality development in the new era is rising from the ground.

We will build the three "power sources" for high-quality development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, draw up the "river strategy" for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, and further promote the large-scale development of the western region, the comprehensive revitalization of the northeast, the rise of the central region, and the development of the eastern region first...... The "big chess game" of regional coordinated development planned by the CPC Central Committee has continuously opened up a broad space for China's high-quality economic development.

Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern is the strategic basis for promoting high-quality development.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) drew up a grand blueprint for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese-style modernization.

Play a good first move and take the initiative. Only by firmly grasping the primary task of high-quality development and the strategic task of building a new development pattern can we provide a solid material and technological foundation for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

Efforts will be made to expand domestic demand, smooth the national economic cycle, and stimulate new advantages in high-quality development.

At present, in addition to facing the severe and complex external situation, the mainland's economic development is also facing some difficulties and challenges, mainly due to insufficient effective demand, overcapacity in some industries, weak social expectations, and many hidden risks.

"We must persist in deepening the supply-side structural reform and focus on expanding effective demand to make concerted efforts", "we must stimulate potential consumption, expand effective investment, and form a virtuous circle in which consumption and investment promote each other"...... In accordance with the deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference, it is necessary to focus on the strong and weak points, clear the blockages, and accelerate the formation of a strong domestic market.

With a population of more than 1.4 billion, the world's largest middle-income group, and the world's second largest importer of goods, this is where China's economic advantage lies and where the confidence lies in overcoming difficulties on the new journey.

We will deepen reform and opening up in an all-round way, smooth the domestic and international dual circulation, and accelerate the formation of a sustainable and high-quality development system and mechanism.

On November 1, the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone was inaugurated.

So far, the number of China's pilot free trade zones has been upgraded and expanded to 22, forming a pattern of reform, opening up and innovation covering the east, west, south, north and middle, and coordinating the coastal, inland and border areas.

We will deepen the market-oriented reform of factors, build a high-standard market system, accelerate the construction of a unified national market, issue 24 policies and measures to stabilize foreign investment, and announce eight actions to support high-quality Belt and Road cooperation...... A series of new measures to promote reform through opening up and development through reform have continuously shaped the mainland's new advantages in international cooperation and competition.

"We will adhere to high-quality development, promote high-level opening-up, and provide new opportunities for promoting the modernization of all countries in the world with Chinese-style modernization."

This is China's consistent commitment and a solemn commitment to the future. (ENDS)
