Grasp the primary task of high-quality development

　　In the broad practice of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the supreme leader’s economic thoughts have been constantly enriched and developed, leading the great ship "China" to ride the wind and waves and make steady progress. At present, the great changes in the world that have never happened in a century are accelerating, and the characteristics of the changes in the world, the times and the history are more obvious. China’s development is facing new strategic opportunities and risk challenges. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress: "High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way." This important conclusion clarifies the inevitable choice of promoting Chinese modernization based on the new stage of development. How to understand and grasp the primary task of promoting high-quality development is a major issue in the process of Chinese modernization.

　　High-quality development plays an important role in modernization.

　　China has started a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marched towards the goal of the second century. Standing at the height of national development strategy, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core fully understands, accurately grasps and scientifically plans high-quality development, which is of great significance for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　High-quality development is the key to change the power of the structure with excellent transfer mode. Entering a new stage of development, China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength have greatly jumped. In 2022, the gross domestic product reached 121 trillion yuan, which is an important engine of world economic growth. At the same time, we should also see that the problem of insufficient development imbalance in China is still outstanding, and it is in the key period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the growth momentum. The rising labor costs, the aging population, and the increasing constraints on resources and environment all require that we must adhere to high-quality development, create a high-quality, high-efficiency and diversified supply system, and form a higher level dynamic balance between demand and supply and demand. Economic development is a spiral process, with both quantitative accumulation and qualitative improvement, which requires that the quality of development must be placed in a more prominent position. Combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with deepening the structural reform on the supply side, give overall consideration to the development quality and benefit, development cost and income distribution, and promote the quality change, efficiency change and power change of economic development.

　　High-quality development is the strategic choice for developing new machines. Entering a new stage of development, we have ushered in new opportunities and new impetus in accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, enhancing the ability of scientific and technological innovation, deepening the reform of factor marketization, building a unified national market, persisting in high-level opening up, and actively participating in the reform and construction of the global governance system. At the same time, the world today is experiencing a new round of great development, changes and adjustments. The momentum of world economic growth is insufficient, the polarization between the rich and the poor is becoming increasingly serious, regional conflicts are breaking out one after another, non-traditional security issues such as cyber security, major infectious diseases and climate change are prominent, and the instability and uncertainty facing the world are prominent. It is urgent to promote the construction of new international relations, jointly build the "Belt and Road" high-quality development, and build a community of human destiny. Firmly grasping the primary task of high-quality development can better create good conditions and cultivate new machines and open new opportunities for promoting the construction of a socialist modern country.

　　Achieving high-quality development is one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), which not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has the characteristics of China based on its own national conditions. We should give full play to the advantages of human resources and realize the modernization of a huge population; It is necessary to meet the people’s new expectations for a better life, solve the problems of regional gap, urban-rural gap and income gap, and realize the modernization of common prosperity for all people; It is necessary to consolidate the foundation of material civilization and stimulate the motive force of spiritual civilization construction to realize the modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization in harmony; It is necessary to form a green development mode and lifestyle, provide more high-quality ecological products, take the road of sustainable development and realize the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. These must adhere to high-quality development.

　　Promote the economy to achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "the economy should be promoted to achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity". This has pointed out the direction and provided guidance for us to further promote high-quality economic development.

　　The new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing answers major issues such as the driving force and path of high-quality development from the conceptual level; Solve the problems of development motive force, unbalanced development, harmony between man and nature, internal and external linkage of development and social fairness and justice from the theoretical level. The concept of innovation and development is clear that innovation is the first driving force to lead development, and it is required to follow the laws of economic development and scientific and technological development and improve the level of productivity through continuous innovation; The concept of coordinated development is the inherent requirement of sustained and healthy development. We should simultaneously promote new industrialization, informationization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, promote the coordinated development of industries, industries, urban and rural areas and regions, and realize the coordination between material civilization and spiritual civilization. The concept of green development makes it clear that green is a necessary condition for sustainable development and an important embodiment of people’s pursuit of a better life. It requires respecting nature, adapting to nature and protecting nature, and achieving high-quality development on the basis of following the laws of natural development; The concept of open development is clear. Openness is the only way for a country to prosper and develop. We must persist in discussing, building and sharing, adhering to peaceful cooperation, openness, tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit, actively participating in and promoting the process of economic globalization, promoting the building of a community of human destiny, and improving the internal and external linkage of development; The concept of shared development is the essential requirement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is necessary to handle the relationship between efficiency and fairness in development, and insist that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people. Therefore, we must implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively.

　　To promote high-quality development, it is necessary to speed up the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. In the process of unblocking the domestic circulation, we will promote the market-oriented reform of important production factors such as land, capital, labor, technology, knowledge and data, establish a unified and open resource market, standard system and access system, optimize the innovation ecology, science and technology ecology and system ecology, promote the free flow of production factors, and enhance joint efforts, coordination and interaction, which will effectively promote high-quality development. In the process of unblocking the domestic and international double circulation, we should promote the circulation of information, capital, products and services at home and abroad, promote the high-quality, high-standard and high-level development of production, distribution, circulation and consumption, build a strong and resilient national economic circulation system, attract more resource elements, and effectively enhance the reliability of the domestic large circulation, which is conducive to achieving higher quality, efficiency, fairness, sustainability and security.

　　Promoting high-quality development is inseparable from innovation. Efforts should be made to intensify scientific and technological innovation, scientifically and rationally distribute scientific and technological innovation, pool innovative resources and forces, mobilize innovation enthusiasm, and continuously improve total factor productivity, so as to create favorable conditions for achieving high-quality development and open up new ways for productivity development. It is necessary to establish and improve the mechanism of talent introduction and training, create a gravitational field for scientific and technological talents, release the potential of scientific and technological innovation, and provide a steady stream of innovation power for high-quality development. We should actively integrate into the global innovation network, jointly promote basic research and applied research, actively participate in global intellectual property governance under the framework of the World Intellectual Property Organization, and work together with other countries to create an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological development, so as to promote complementary advantages and mutually beneficial sharing between China and other countries in the field of scientific and technological innovation.

　　Focus on promoting quality change, efficiency change and power change.

　　Deepening reform in an all-round way and striving to promote the quality change, efficiency change and power change of economic development can provide important institutional and institutional guarantee for grasping the initiative of future development. In the new era and new journey, we need to focus on the following aspects.

　　Build a high-level socialist market economic system. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China regards "building a high-level socialist market economic system" as an important strategic deployment to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and focus on promoting high-quality development, and puts forward "building a unified national market, deepening the marketization reform of factors, and building a high-standard market system". Market is the scarcest resource, and accelerating the construction of a unified national market is an inherent requirement for building a new development pattern and a high-level socialist market economic system. To fully stimulate the potential of China’s ultra-large-scale market, it is necessary to gather domestic and foreign resource elements, strive to achieve smooth market access, open and orderly, full competition and standardized order, and deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform; Deepen the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, speed up the layout optimization and structural adjustment of the state-owned economy, promote the state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises to become stronger, better and bigger, and encourage and support the development and growth of the private economy and private enterprises; We will promote the reform of market-oriented allocation of factors and the construction of credit system, build a high-standard market system, deepen the reform of financial system and tax structure, and improve the macroeconomic governance system to provide solid support for building a new development pattern.

　　Building a modern industrial system. The first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Committee emphasized that the industry should be intelligent, green and integrated, and a modern industrial system with integrity, advancement and safety should be built. We must persist in focusing on the real economy, enhance the ability of independent innovation, improve the new national system for tackling key core technologies, make great efforts to overcome key core technologies, and enhance the scientific and technological content and comprehensive quality of China’s industrialization. It is necessary not only to consolidate the leading position of traditional industries, but also to accelerate the building of strategic emerging industrial clusters with international competitiveness, promote the deep integration of digital economy with advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, comprehensively upgrade the industrial base and modernize the industrial chain, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone. At the same time, we should profoundly grasp the important characteristics of the modern industrial system, adhere to innovation-driven development, constantly improve the position of China’s industry in the global industrial chain supply chain value chain, and better serve high-quality development and Chinese modernization.

　　Comprehensively promote rural revitalization. The most arduous and arduous task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is still in the countryside. This is because in addition to realizing their own development, the vast rural areas also shoulder the strategic mission of supporting the overall development of the country. Therefore, it is necessary to give priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integrated development of urban and rural areas, smooth the flow of urban and rural factors, and accelerate the formation of a new type of relationship between workers and peasants, which is mutually reinforcing, complementary, coordinated and prosperous. Accelerate the completion of the shortcomings of agricultural modernization. It is necessary to carry out in-depth scientific and technological support actions for rural revitalization, increase research and development support for high-end intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment, and promote the deep integration of agricultural modernization and informationization; Promote the integration and development of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries, promote the deep integration of agriculture with tourism, education, culture, health care and other industries, expand the agricultural industrial chain, and promote the deep processing of agricultural products; Promote the application of digital technology in agricultural production and management, actively explore new agricultural formats, and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

　　Promote coordinated regional development. Implementing the concept of coordinated development and promoting full, balanced and inclusive development is the key to promoting high-quality development, the basis for correctly handling the dialectical relationship between growth and distribution, efficiency and fairness, and an important way to solidly promote common prosperity. Promoting coordinated development is a systematic, strategic and long-term task, which requires the joint participation of all economic and social sectors and the coordination of various resource elements. It is necessary to promote the equalization of public services, continuously increase support for education, employment, social security, medical and health care, old-age care, housing, etc., achieve coordinated, balanced and inclusive development of regions, promote urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development, focus on key industries, digital economy, high technology, innovation cooperation, basic investment, personnel training, energy resources, financial services and other key areas, actively build strategic docking platforms, and strengthen regional coordination.

　　Actively promote high-level opening up. China has the advantage of super-large-scale market, and attracting global resource elements through domestic circulation is conducive to enhancing the linkage effect between domestic and international markets and continuously improving the quality and level of trade and investment cooperation. We should steadily expand the institutional opening of rules, regulations, management and standards, consolidate the advantages of China’s trade in goods, actively integrate into the global division of labor in service trade, comprehensively deepen the pilot of innovative development of service trade, and accelerate the construction of a trade power. Further improve the business environment, improve the degree of trade and investment facilitation, build a higher standard and higher quality free trade zone network, and continuously increase the protection of intellectual property rights. Promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road", maintain a diversified and stable international economic structure and economic and trade relations, foster new advantages in participating in international cooperation and competition, and strive to enhance the right to speak in the global governance system. Promote international scientific and technological innovation and industrial cooperation, co-ordinate global innovation resources, promote international innovation cooperation related projects, promote the construction of an open cooperation platform for international innovation resources, build an international scientific and technological innovation center with global influence, be deeply embedded in the global scientific and technological innovation chain, and be more actively integrated into the global innovation network.
