  Since the beginning of the new century, the world economic situation has undergone major changes. How to firmly grasp the initiative of development and lead the sustained and healthy development of China’s economy in the complicated and changing situation?

  Over the past five years, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, with the firm determination to cross the rubicon, far-sighted strategic vision and overall control ability, has created new glories under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era.

  Insist on strengthening the party’s centralized and unified leadership over economic work — —

  In the past five years, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally presided over more than 100 meetings related to economic work. the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) often deliberated on major issues related to the overall situation of economic and social development. Under the leadership of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group studied and determined important principles and policies for economic and social development, and the system of leading economic work by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core was increasingly improved.

  From industrial development to the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, from resources and environment to people’s livelihood, from opening up to innovation-driven, the top-level design of grand economic work has been basically completed, the missing items of major national development strategies have been filled, major principles and policies have become more complete and perfect, and the development direction has become clearer and clearer.

  Adhere to the people-centered development thought — —

  Who to develop for is the core issue of economic development.

  In the past five years, to build a well-off society in an all-round way and adhere to the people’s dominant position has become the basic follow-up of economic work; Don’t talk about heroes by GDP, economic growth is more shared and inclusive, and a series of new achievements have been made in the field of people’s livelihood; Huimin measures have been introduced one after another, and people’s livelihood reform has been deepened, which has United people’s hearts and boosted confidence … …

  "Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, economic work has highlighted the people-oriented value orientation, and a series of economic and social development achievements in China have benefited from adhering to the people-centered development thinking." Cai Fang, vice president of China Academy of Social Sciences, said.

  Adhere to adaptation and grasp the new normal of leading economic development — —

  Orientation determines the direction.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has clearly identified the new orientation of China’s economy, profoundly revealed the deep-seated reasons for the change of economic growth rate, and made a major judgment that China’s economic development has entered a new normal.

  "China’s economy has entered a new normal. The most intuitive change is the shift in economic growth, but the essential feature is the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation of development mode, which brings strategic opportunities to move towards a high-quality development stage." Wang Yiming, deputy director of the State Council Development Research Center, said.

  Insist on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation and give full play to the role of the government — —

  In the past five years, through the implementation of the negative list system, market barriers has further eliminated; Promote the reform of the commercial system, and the vitality of market players continues to increase; The implementation of price reform in the fields of electricity, oil and gas, telecommunications, etc., all kinds of factors fully flow, and market competition is more fair and orderly … …

  At the same time, the "visible hand" of the government can play a better role, manage the affairs well and in place through "double randomness and one openness", and put the power in place through simple administration and decentralization. The market role and the government role are organically unified and coordinated to jointly promote sustained and healthy economic and social development.

  Persist in adapting to the main contradictions and changes in China’s economic development and improve macro-control — —

  China’s economy has entered a new era, and the main contradiction of economic development has been transformed into structural problems. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core firmly grasps the supply-side structural reform, which is the main line of economic work, and strives to improve the quality and efficiency of the supply system, enhance the driving force of economic development, and promote the overall leap of China’s social productive forces.

  In the past five years, a series of structural policies have played a great role. The dynamic pattern of China’s economic development has undergone major changes, entrepreneurial innovation has flourished, emerging industries have thrived, consumption has become the first driving force for economic growth, China manufacturing has begun to create a shift to China, and China’s speed has begun to change to China’s quality.

  Adhere to the problem-oriented deployment of a new strategy for economic development — —

  The problem is the voice of the times.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, faced with the risks to be solved, the difficulties to be overcome and the shortcomings to be filled, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has put forward new strategies and new measures based on the problem, and constantly met the new needs and aspirations of the people with the problem as the guide, and carried out a series of pioneering and creative work, which has become a distinctive feature of leading economic work.

  Adhere to the correct working strategies and methods, strive for progress steadily, maintain strategic strength, and adhere to the bottom line thinking — —

  Striving for progress with stability, promoting stability with progress, and making stability and progress interact with each other in a benign way are the scientific methods for the Party Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core to lead economic work.

  Under the guidance of this methodology, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has always maintained its strategic strength in the changing world economic situation, built the overall stability with economic stability, and promoted the overall progress with economic progress, which not only has the patience and perseverance of "moving forward step by step", but also has the enthusiasm and enterprising spirit of "rolling up your sleeves and working hard" and constantly creates a new situation in economic work.

  Promote all-round transformation and deep-seated changes, and lead China’s economy from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage

  In Liaoning, the old industrial base in Northeast China in late winter, dripping into ice. In every factory, it is a production scene in full swing.

  "We have changed the one-stop buying and selling of equipment transactions, adopting the methods of renting instead of selling and charging according to the length of use, which are welcomed by customers." Li Wenhua, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Shenyang Machine Tool Group, said that the adjustment of the business model has helped the I5 intelligent machine tool to quickly open the market, and the current order has exceeded 18,000 units.

  Once upon a time, Liaoning, famous for its manufacturing industry, was labeled as "rough" and "stupid". Nowadays, Liaoning is accelerating the transformation of equipment manufacturing industry to intelligence and high-end, and driving the evolution of traditional industries quietly.

  Entering a new era, China’s economy has changed from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage.

  This is an inevitable requirement for maintaining sustained and healthy economic development — — China’s original low-cost competitive advantage is gradually disappearing, the ecological environment constraints are strengthened, and the rapid economic growth is unsustainable. High-quality development is the only way.

  This is an inevitable requirement to adapt to the changes of the main contradictions in our society and to build a well-off society and a socialist modern country in an all-round way — — To better meet people’s diversified needs for a better life, it is necessary not only to increase the quantity, but also to improve the quality. High-quality development is the need of the times.

  This is the inevitable requirement of following the development of economic laws — — The law of world development shows that from middle-income countries to high-income countries, there is no exception to the overall change from speed to quality, and high-quality development is a historical choice.

  In the past five years, under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, China’s system layout structure has been adjusted, transformed and upgraded, and China’s economy has shown a brand-new pattern, while generate has shown a brand-new vitality and temperament.

  — — From the supply side, we will push China’s economy to achieve quality change.

  The adjustment of supply and demand structure is a challenging worldwide problem.

  Standing at the height of major strategic innovation and theoretical innovation, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, starting from improving the quality of supply, promoted structural adjustment by means of reform, corrected the distortion of factor allocation, and led China’s economy to achieve a historic leap.

  Give priority to "breaking" and effectively resolve excess capacity and ineffective supply. In the past two years, China has withdrawn more than 110 million tons of steel production capacity and more than 400 million tons of coal production capacity. The relationship between supply and demand has improved significantly, and the quality of economic operation has greatly improved.

  Based on "standing", new kinetic energy for economic development is constantly being generated. In the past five years, strategic emerging industries have developed rapidly, new products in line with the direction of industrial upgrading and consumption upgrading have emerged, new breakthroughs have been made in high-end equipment manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing and other fields, and the conversion of old and new kinetic energy has accelerated.

  Taking "reduction" as the key, the operating costs of market players continue to decline. With the implementation of business tax reform, China ended the business tax history, and reduced taxes by 1.7 trillion yuan in the past five years, benefiting more than 26 million taxpayers and enabling market players to go into battle lightly.

  — — Accelerate the reform of economic system and promote the efficiency change of China economy.

  State-owned enterprise reform, investment and financing system reform, price reform and social credit system construction … … In the past five years, the implementation of a series of measures has helped reduce the burden on market players and created a fair competitive market environment. The new kinetic energy generated by the reform has effectively offset the impact of the weakening of traditional kinetic energy.

  Focusing on the core issue of dealing with the relationship between the government and the market, the basic reforms in key areas in China have been accelerated, the main framework of the socialist market economic system has been basically established, some reforms that have been brewing for many years have frequently broken through, and some problems that have been delayed for many years and cannot be attacked for a long time have gradually broken through.

  — — Building an innovative country and promoting the dynamic transformation of China’s economy.

  Six national research centers have been established, Beidou satellite navigation system has entered the era of global networking, and the development plan of a new generation of artificial intelligence has been launched … … After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, new initiatives and new achievements in the field of scientific and technological innovation in China have come one after another.

  "Innovation is the first driving force for development." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly mentioned this important conclusion.

  From Zhongguancun in Beijing to Zhangjiang in Shanghai, Nanshan in Shenzhen to Optics Valley in Wuhan, from deep space exploration to deep sea exploration, from China to China Bridge, from the successful trial mining of combustible ice to the global leader in mobile payment, the flowers of innovation have spread all over China.

  Facing the future, an innovative and competitive China will surely achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable development.

  Adhere to the people-centered development thought and lead China’s economic development to truly benefit the people.

  "Looking comfortable and comfortable, I have lived for such a big age. I really didn’t expect to enjoy the things in the city!" Ma Wenru, a 76-year-old villager from Beiguan Village, Renqiu City, Hebei Province, was full of praise when he looked at the new toilet with ceramic tile veneer, pumping squatting pan, water heater and wash basin.

  The small toilet is connected with the people’s livelihood.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is the fundamental position of Marxist political economy to adhere to the people-centered development thought.

  People’s livelihood is an economic issue, which is the starting point and the end result of all our party’s economic work.

  — — Insisting on development for the people makes clear the purpose of China’s economic development.

  “人民对美好生活的向往,就是我们的奋斗目标。”五年前最高领袖总书记作出的庄严承诺言犹在耳。

  “中国共产党人的初心和使命,就是为中国人民谋幸福,为中华民族谋复兴。”最高领袖总书记在党的十九大报告中再次郑重宣示。

  全国农村贫困人口从2012年至2016年累计减少5564万人,书写了人类反贫困斗争史上“最伟大的故事”;城镇新增就业2013年至2016年连续4年保持在1300万人以上,民生之本越筑越牢;居民收入增长总体快于经济增长,形成了世界上人口最多的中等收入群体……

  五年来,保障和改善民生融入我们党经济工作的各领域、各环节,百姓收获了满满的获得感、幸福感。

  ——坚持发展依靠人民,增强了中国经济发展的动力。

  严冬时节,北京天安门东南50公里处的天津市武清区大王古庄镇一片生机勃勃。“我今天过来考察,打算把部分生产和研发部门搬到这里。”北京凌天世纪控股公司总经理常建说。

  近年来,这个地理位置优越的小镇通过工业园区建设,不仅壮大了经济实力,还增加了村民的就业机会,提高了收入水平。

  From the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the regional coordinated development strategy not only contains huge economic development potential, but also provides a good opportunity to improve people’s livelihood and well-being.

  Income distribution reform, household registration system reform, and the integration of urban and rural old-age care … … The continuous dividend of people’s livelihood has improved the people’s sense of fairness, and entrepreneurial innovation has broken ground, constantly expanding emerging industries with the magical "magic" like turning stone into gold.

  Lai Youwei, a researcher at the State Council Development Research Center, said: "People-centered can stimulate the creativity of the broad masses of people to the greatest extent, provide an inexhaustible source of power for reform and development, and make economic indicators and people’s livelihood indicators rise simultaneously."

  — — Insist that the fruits of development should be shared by the people, and make clear the direction of China’s economic development.

  China, which is "developed", is in a period of prominent contradictions, deep-water development and reform, and the shortcomings of people’s livelihood are emerging one after another.

  In the past five years, in view of the shortcomings and weaknesses in the decisive period of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we have launched a tough battle against poverty and pollution prevention; In view of the worries of people’s livelihood, new progress has been made in providing education for young children, learning to teach them, earning income from hard work, getting medical care for the sick, providing for the old, living in a house and helping the weak; In response to the people’s strong demand for a clean sky, blue land and green water, China’s determination to promote ecological civilization construction is unprecedented, and the ecological environment has improved significantly … …

  Governing the country regularly and benefiting the people.

  "The gold content of people’s livelihood is the touchstone to test the quality of all development." Wang Tongsan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the continuous improvement of the social policy system and the continuous improvement of people’s livelihood not only make China more capable of stabilizing economic fluctuations and resisting social risks, but also promote the all-round development of people and social progress.

  Coordinate the two overall domestic and international situations, and lead China’s economy to be deeply integrated, stable and far-reaching in globalization.

  It has contributed more than 30% to the world economic growth, and has been the world’s largest trader of goods for several years in a row, becoming the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries and regions … … Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has become the main power source and stabilizer of world economic growth, and its influence on global economic development and its right to speak on global governance have been greatly enhanced.

  Openness brings progress, while closure is bound to lag behind.

  Deeply grasp the relationship between China and the world, comprehensively grasp the external environment of China’s development, and scientifically grasp the process of economic globalization. Under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the supreme leader in the new era, China’s attitude of opening to the outside world has become more active and firm.

  Deeply integrate into the world economy and promote the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening up — —

  "Exploring the construction of a free trade port", a new formulation in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, has aroused great concern at home and abroad.

  Freeport is a special economic functional zone with the highest opening level in the world. From the establishment of the Pilot Free Trade Zone in 2013 to the construction of a free trade port with China characteristics, the experimental fields actively expanding and opening up in China have become increasingly flourishing, and new highlands have emerged one after another.

  Over the past five years, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has systematically expounded major theoretical and practical propositions such as whether to open up in the new era, what kind of opening up is needed, how to better promote opening up, and pushed China’s open economy to a higher level.

  "Promoting the formation of a new pattern of all-round opening up includes a series of objectives and tasks such as improving the level of opening up, broadening the scope and fields of opening up, expanding the scale of opening up, and improving the quality of opening up." Professor Sang Baichuan of university of international business and economics said.

  Go to the world with a more proactive attitude, promote major top-level designs such as the "Belt and Road" construction to win the initiative of economic development, inject new impetus into China’s economy and expand new space.

  Up to now, China has signed "One Belt, One Road" cooperation agreements with 80 countries and organizations, carried out institutionalized capacity cooperation with more than 30 countries, and promoted the construction of 75 overseas economic and trade cooperation zones in 24 countries along the route. China enterprises have invested more than 50 billion US dollars in countries along the route.

  Show the "China Business Card" to the world and create a new advantage in international cooperation and competition — —

  On November 11th, people from more than 200 countries and regions around the world joined the "Double Eleven" online shopping carnival sponsored by Internet companies in China, from tiksi town along the Russian Arctic Ocean in the north to Tierra del Fuego province across the sea from Antarctica in the south.

  On the one hand, China is made in every corner of the world, and its brand image is getting better and better; on the other hand, new formats and models such as digital economy are booming and leading the world. The "Double Eleven" reflects the spillover effect of China’s economic development.

  In today’s world, a new round of scientific and technological and industrial revolution is gestating, the international division of labor system and transnational flow of factors are accelerating, new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality are developing with each passing day, and the global value chain is being deeply reshaped.

  China’s interaction with the world is getting closer and closer, and the relationship between opportunity sharing and common destiny is becoming increasingly prominent. China’s economy can find a correct orientation and grasp the law in gaining insight into the development trend of the world, and effectively cope with the profound changes in the world economy.

  Promote reform in opening up and promote development in opening up.

  In the past five years, from the successful test flight of the large plane C919 to the launch of the first quantum science experimental satellite "Mozi", the enhancement of China’s innovation ability has continuously enhanced the international competitiveness of economic development; From high-speed railway to UHV power transmission and transformation, a series of major equipment in China have gone global and become the upstream in the global value chain.

  Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, believes that China’s economy, which has entered a new era, has become a leader in the development of the world economy, rather than a passive receiver of fluctuations in the international market that was simply "in line with international practices".

  Follow the principle of cooperation, joint construction and sharing, and write a new chapter of global common development — —

  In recent years, the global economic growth momentum is insufficient, "anti-globalization" and "anti-globalization" thoughts are surging, the tendency of major national policies is on the rise, trade frictions and investment protection are intensifying, and the sustained and stable growth of the world economy is facing a severe test.

  It is difficult for a solitary person to get up, but it is easy for many walkers to move.

  Initiate the establishment of the AIIB and the BRICS New Development Bank, creating a precedent for developing countries to set up new multilateral financial institutions; Promote the IMF to complete the share reform and governance mechanism reform, and enhance the representation and voice of emerging economies and developing countries; Actively promote the reform of the global governance system and promote the construction of a community of human destiny … …

  "These theories and practices show that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thoughts of the Supreme Leader in the new era lead China’s economy to the world and integrate into the world, provide China’s plan for world economic development and common progress of mankind, and contribute China’s wisdom." Nankai University professor Yan Jinju said.
