The Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress voted and adopted a resolution on the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035. The full text of the document has a total of 19 chapters and 65 chapters, and the first article clearly points out that to promote high-quality development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we must base ourselves on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, and build a new development pattern.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Entering a new stage of development, implementing new development concepts, and building a new development pattern are determined by the theoretical, historical and practical logic of China's economic and social development. "The new development stage, new development concept and new development pattern not only have a scientific theoretical foundation, but also have a solid historical foundation and a practical foundation.
The new stage of development has clearly defined the historical orientation of China's development. After building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realizing the first centenary goal, we must take advantage of the momentum to start a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and march toward the second centenary goal, which marks that our country has entered a new stage of development, and we need to accurately grasp the changes in the internal and external environment and the main contradictions in society. One of the successful experiences of our party in governing the country is to scientifically apply the materialist view of history to judge the historical orientation and development stage of the cause of the party and the people, and to formulate scientific principles, lines, and strategies on the basis of this judgment. At present, only by basing ourselves on the new stage of development can we clearly understand the economic and social foundation and internal and external environment for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching toward the goal of the second centenary struggle, can we dialectically and scientifically grasp the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world that have not occurred in a hundred years, accurately judge the opportunities and challenges we are facing, and can we fully understand the major changes in the overall situation of the relationship between the main contradictions in our society and the new characteristics and new laws brought about by such changes.
The new development concept has clearly defined the guiding principles of China's modernization drive, scientifically answered major questions such as what kind of development to achieve in the new development stage and how to achieve development, clarified the goals, motive forces, methods, and paths of the new development stage, and expounded our party's political stance, value orientation, development model, development path, and other major political issues on development. Only by implementing the new development concept can we successfully overcome the various drawbacks of the traditional development model, fully absorb the lessons and lessons of the development of all countries in the world, realize the transformation of new and old driving forces in innovation, overcome the problem of unbalanced development in coordination, realize the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in the green, further build a new platform for international cooperation and new competitiveness in the process of opening up, achieve common prosperity in sharing, and then successfully complete the goal of socialist modernization in high-quality development.
The new development pattern clearly defines the path choice of China's economic modernization, is an initiative to face the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the major changes in the world that have not occurred in a hundred years, is a major policy decision made to adapt to changes in The stage, environment, and conditions of China's economic and social development, is a strategic deployment for implementing the new development concept and enhancing the level of China's economic development, and is a strategic choice for giving play to comparative advantages to reshape China's new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition. Only by building a new development pattern can we break through the "card neck" problem in scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, realize the innovation drive of the new development stage, realize the reconstruction and upgrading of the domestic large cycle with supply-side structural reform and demand-side management, build a higher level of open economy on the basis of the smooth circulation of the national economy, and then ensure the stability and long-term development of socialist modernization on the basis of overall development and security.
Generally speaking, entering the new development stage has clearly defined the historical orientation of China's development, which is the cognitive premise and historical theoretical basis for implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern; the implementation of the new development concept has clarified the guiding principles of China's modernization construction, and it is the ideological guidance and theoretical guide for building a new development pattern; and the construction of a new development pattern has clearly defined the path choice of China's economic modernization, which is the specific embodiment and action deployment of the new development concept at the level of strategic initiatives. These three echo and complement each other, forming an organic system. We must do a good job in implementing it in the process of integration and integration, ensure that the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" has a good start and a good start, and inject a strong impetus into the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
