This plenary session is an important meeting of overall and historic significance held when our country will enter a new stage of development and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation at a critical period. The 14th Five-Year Plan period is the first five years after our country has fully built a moderately prosperous society and achieved the first centenary goal, and has seized the momentum to embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and march towards the second centenary goal. my country's development is still in an important period of strategic opportunity, but the domestic and international environment it faces is undergoing profound and complex changes.
From an international perspective, The world has undergone major changes in a century have entered a period of accelerated evolution. The impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is extensive and far-reaching, economic globalization has encountered headwinds, and the international economic, science and technology, culture, security, politics and other patterns are being deeply adjusted. The external environment of China's development is becoming increasingly complex. From a domestic perspective, The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period, the main contradictions in our society have changed, the economy has shifted to a stage of high-quality development, and continued development has many advantages and conditions, and it also faces many difficulties and challenges. At the historical intersection of the "two centenary years", the Party Central Committee held the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee, focusing on studying the "14th Five-Year Plan" issues, drawing a blueprint for the future development of the country, clarifying the direction and goals of progress, which is of great significance to inspiring the whole Party and people of all ethnic groups in the country, overcoming various risks and challenges on the road ahead, and making a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
The most important achievement of this plenary session was to review and pass the "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Term Goals for 2035". "Suggestions" deeply analyzes the international and domestic situation facing my country's development, clearly looks forward to the long-term goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035, and clearly puts forward the guiding principles, main goals, key tasks and major measures for my country's development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and concentrates on answering the major question of what kind of development to achieve and how to achieve development under the new situation.It is generally believed that the "Suggestion" fully reflects new changes in the times, meets new requirements of practice, and reflects the new expectations of the people. It is a programmatic document to embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and march towards the second centenary goal. It is an action guide for my country's economic and social development in the next five years and even longer.
Deputy Director Han Wenxiu, who is in charge of daily work at the Office of the Central Financial and Economic Commission, introduced the relevant situation of the "Suggestions"
First of all, the planning "Suggestions" was formulated under the personal leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping. preparation and implementation of medium- and long-term plans is an important way for our party to govern the country and lead economic and social development. Since the reform and opening up, we have to prepare a medium- and long-term plan every five years. Before forming the planning outline, the Party Central Committee put forward the "Suggestions" to determine major policies and guidelines as the main basis for preparing the plan. This has formed traditions and systems. In March this year, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee decided to review the "14th Five-Year Plan" proposals for the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and established a document drafting group with General Secretary Xi Jinping as the group leader, and Comrades Li Keqiang, Wang Huning and Han Zheng as deputy group leaders. Over the past seven months, General Secretary Xi Jinping has presided over two meetings of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, three meetings of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and two drafting group meetings to study and review the overall framework, basic ideas, guiding principles and important contents of the draft of the "Suggestions". General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered a series of important speeches and made many important instructions to grasp the general direction, determine the major ideas, and propose major strategies for the drafting of the draft of the "Suggestion". General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally done it, visited local governments and grassroots many times, listened to opinions and suggestions from all walks of life, revised the draft of review documents many times, made strategic plans, and devoted a lot of effort to ensure that the drafting of the draft of the "Suggestions" of the plan was completed with high quality.
Second, an important feature of the planning "Suggestions" is to adhere to the promotion of democracy, open the door to ask for advice, and brainstorm. At the end of last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping asked the CPC Central Committee and relevant departments of the State Council to organize preliminary research on economic and social development issues in the 14th Five-Year Plan. The Central Finance and Economic Affairs Office and the National Development and Reform Commission entrusted more than 60 research institutions and relevant departments including the National High-end Think Tank to conduct research on 37 major topics and formed more than 130 research reports. The National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference organized special research and discussions and formed a series of research reports. The Party Central Committee solicited opinions on a certain range inside and outside the Party twice in March and August this year. The drafting group carefully studied and absorbed opinions and suggestions put forward by various regions, departments and relevant parties. In early August this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions and requirements, unifying strengthening top-level design and adhering to the people, encouraging the general public and all sectors of society to make suggestions in various ways, and fully absorb social expectations, wisdom of the masses, expert opinions, and grassroots experience, and work together to formulate the "14th Five-Year Plan". From August 16 to 29, the preparation of the 14th Five-Year Plan was solicited online, which was the first time in the history of drafting documents of the Central Plenary Session. The general public actively participated, and more than 1 million messages were left online, and relevant parties compiled more than 1,000 opinions and suggestions from them. From July to September, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium of non-party members and entrepreneurs, and symposium on solidly promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, a symposium on experts in the economic and social field, a symposium on scientists, a symposium on grassroots representatives, and a symposium on experts in the field of education, culture, health and sports, and listened to opinions and suggestions from all parties in person. It can be said that the scope of the solicitation of opinions, the number of participants and the variety of forms this time is unprecedented. The formulation of the Planning "Suggestions" is a vivid practice of socialist democracy in our country and an important manifestation of scientific decision-making and democratic decision-making.
, the main considerations and basic framework for planning the "Suggestions".The plan "Suggestions" in accordance with the two-stage strategic arrangements made by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to achieve the second centenary goal, and based on the domestic and international environment and conditions of my country's development in the future period, focusing on our party's original mission of seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation and happiness for the Chinese people, adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, and made systematic planning and strategic arrangements for my country's economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The "Suggestions" of the Planning is a programmatic document to embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and march towards the second centenary goal. It is an action guide for my country's economic and social development in the next five years and even longer.
The drafting of the "Suggestion" mainly grasps five principles: First, handle the relationship between inheritance and innovation well, and make an organic connection between the "two centenary" goals. The second is to handle the relationship between the government and the market well and better play the institutional advantages of our country. The third is to handle the relationship between openness and independence well and better coordinate the domestic and international situations. Fourth, handle the relationship between development and security well and ensure that there are no systemic risks that affect the modernization process. Fifth, handle the relationship between strategy and tactics well, and be both far-sighted and pragmatic and effective.
Planning "Suggestions" have a total of 15 parts, which can be divided into three major sections in general. The general part of mainly explains the achievements of winning the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the environment for my country's development, the long-term goals for 2035, and the guiding ideology, principles and main goals of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The sub-thesis part is generally organized according to the connotation of the new development concept, and explains the key tasks of economic and social development and reform and opening up in different fields during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The concluding part mainly explains strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, improving the planning mechanism, and providing strong guarantees for the implementation of the planning. The logical main line of the "Suggestion" of the "Suggestion" is that after fully builds a moderately prosperous society, it is necessary to start a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. It is necessary to scientifically grasp the new development stage, thoroughly implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, take promoting high-quality development as the theme, and deepen supply-side structural reform as the main line, achieve steady and long-term economic development and social stability and harmony, and make a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. In short, the core essence of the planning "Suggestions" is reflected in three "new" aspects, namely a new development stage, a new development concept, and a new development pattern.
People's Daily reporter: Why did the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasize upholding the Party's overall leadership and strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee?
People's Daily reporter asked a question
Director of the Central Policy Research Office Jiang Jinquan: Upholding the Party's overall leadership and strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee are the most important guarantees for achieving the economic and social development goals in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. As we all know, the key to doing things well in China lies in the Party. The Communist Party of China will lead the cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is the choice of history and the people, and has sufficient historical, theoretical and practical basis.
14th Five-Year Plan period and even longer, my country's economic and social development will face an extremely complex international situation. To solve many problems, it will face a series of risks and challenges. The more this happens, the more it is inseparable from the compass that guides the direction of the Communist Party of China, the backbone of uniting our hearts and minds, and the ballast for social stability. The more we must uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party. Fifth Plenary Session of the 10th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China regards upholding the overall leadership of the Party as the primary principle that economic and social development must be followed in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The reason is here.
Xinhua News Agency reporter: Next, we will build a comprehensive socialist modernization in the future. How do you view the status and role of culture in the new journey of the country?
Xinhua News Agency reporter asked
Deputy Minister Wang Xiaohui, who is in charge of daily work in the Central Propaganda Department: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to cultural construction and put cultural construction into a very important position, especially the "four confidences" of socialism with Chinese characteristics. After entering a new stage of development, higher requirements will be put forward for cultural construction, and the role of culture will be further highlighted.
The status and role of culture in the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an incisive summary with the "four important" principles, which is: coordinate the promotion of the "five-in-one" overall layout and coordinate the promotion of the "four-in-one" strategic layout, culture is an important content; promote high-quality development, culture is an important fulcrum; meet the people's growing needs for a better life, culture is an important factor ; overcome various risks and challenges on the road ahead, culture is an important source of strength. So, we say that without the prosperity and development of socialist culture, there will be no socialist modernization.
Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attached great importance to cultural construction and made plans and designs from a strategic and overall perspective. Among them, the most important thing is to clearly propose that will become a cultural power by 2035.
Bloomberg reporter: What specific measures will China take to achieve scientific and technological self-reliance and promote innovation?
Bloomberg reporter asked a question
Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang: In the "Suggestion", the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee proposed to uphold the core position of innovation in the overall modernization construction, take scientific and technological self-reliance as the support for national development strategy, put it at the top of various planning tasks, and make special chapters. This is the first time in the history of our party’s five-year plan proposal.
fundamentally speaking, it is necessary to give full play to the role of scientific and technological innovation as a key variable in the great changes unseen in a century and a supporting and leading role in the overall strategic plan for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Currently, China's scientific and technological strength is moving from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap, from point breakthrough to systemic capabilities, laying a solid foundation for promoting economic development and improving people's livelihood, and ensuring national security. Looking to the future, we must enhance our confidence in innovation, seize the major opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, face the world's scientific and technological frontiers, the main battlefield of the economy, the major needs of the country, and the lives and health of the people, adhere to the "dual-wheel drive" of scientific and technological innovation and institutional and mechanism innovation, build a national strategic scientific and technological force, enhance the systematic ability of scientific and technological research and emergency research, coordinate the layout of basic research and key core technology research, build a systematic, complete and efficient national scientific and technological innovation system, stimulate and mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of the vast number of scientific and technological personnel and innovation entities, and accelerate the development of a new path of innovation and development from strong talents, strong science and technology to strong industries, strong economy, and strong countries, and accelerate the entry into the forefront of innovative countries and build a world science and technology power.
Self-reliance and open cooperation are not opposites, but dialectical unity. Open cooperation is an inherent meaning of the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics. Self-reliance and self-improvement are the prerequisite and basis for being able to equalize each other, respect each other, and carry out open cooperation. At the same time, China's scientific and technological innovation has never been a closed innovation, and will not innovate on its own in the future. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, openness, cooperation, exchanges and mutual learning have played an important role in promoting China's scientific and technological innovation. We always emphasize planning scientific and technological innovation from a global perspective and actively integrating into the global innovation network.
Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reporter: China has proposed a new development pattern of dual circulation. Is this to cope with international pressure? During the 14th Five-Year Plan period and by 2035, will China focus more on developing the domestic circulation, and will its status of opening up decline?
Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reporter asked a question
Deputy Director Han Wenxiu, the Office of the Central Financial and Economic Commission, in charge of daily work: Currently, economic globalization is facing a headwind, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has brought wide and far-reaching impacts, and the traditional international economic cycle has been significantly weakened or even blocked. In this case, strengthening the domestic economic cycle will help enhance the resilience of economic development, and will also help drive the international economic cycle and realize the mutual promotion of domestic and international cycles.
At the same time, a common feature of the economy of major countries is that it can be recycled in China. As the world's second largest economy, China is the same as other major countries' economies. Domestic supply and domestic demand play a major supporting role in the economic cycle.After the 2008 international financial crisis, China's economy has made significant progress in rebalancing. In recent years, domestic demand has mostly contributed more than 90% to economic growth, and in some years it has exceeded 100%. Therefore, the momentum of the domestic circulation has been significantly enhanced.
Therefore, it can be said that the proposal to build a new development pattern with the domestic circulation as the main body and the domestic and international circulations promoting each other is our party’s correct grasp and practical application of the objective laws of economic development. This is an active action, not a passive response, but a long-term strategy, not a stopgap measure.
It should be noted that the new development pattern emphasizes the domestic and international dual circulation, not the single circulation of the domestic economy. The domestic circulation is also a big circulation based on the unified domestic market. Not every place has a small circulation, nor does it mean that it has to carry out intra-provincial circulation, municipal circulation, and county circulation at all levels.
To build a new development pattern, we must first insist on taking expanding domestic demand as a strategic basis, smooth the circulation of the national economy, and clear up bottlenecks in many links from production, distribution to circulation, consumption. At the same time, we must also participate in the international circulation in depth, which is an inherent meaning in building a new development pattern.
It never means a decline in the status of opening up to the outside world. On the contrary, looking forward to the future, the scale of my country's foreign trade imports and exports, foreign investment utilization, and foreign investment will continue to expand, and its international status will continue to increase, which is also an important feature of the economy of a major country.
Japan Asahi News reporter: Under the severe confrontation between China and the United States, there is a possibility of decoupling between China and the United States. How can China achieve the long-term vision for 2035
Japan Asahi News reporter asked a question
Deputy Director of the Office of the Central Financial and Economic Commission in charge of daily work: It really requires a suitable external environment to achieve the long-term goals for 2035. At present, the international environment is becoming increasingly complex, instability and uncertainty have increased significantly, and the severe and challenging side is increasing. But we believe that peace and development are still the themes of the times and are what people want. In today's era when the "global village" is getting smaller and smaller, as the two largest economies in the world, the economic ties between the two countries are determined by the complementarity of the economic structures of both sides and the openness of the global economy. It is not realistic to completely "decouple" and it is not beneficial to the whole world for China and the United States.
In fact, there are few and few who really want to decouple, and there are many who really need to cooperate. In the third quarter of this year, against the backdrop of the impact of the epidemic, the bilateral trade volume between China and the United States increased by 16% year-on-year. We must "not be afraid of clouds covering our sight", continue to hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, firmly uphold multilateralism, firmly stand on the right side of history, and actively shape a favorable international environment.
The key to achieving the long-term goals for 2035 is to practice internal strength, base ourselves on the basic national conditions of the primary stage of socialism, and strive to do China's own business well. Of course, we have to do a lot of things, and there are three things that are particularly important in , namely reform, opening up and innovation.
Reuters reporter: What are the main risks and challenges facing the economy in the next five years? What growth rate does China need to maintain to overcome the "middle-income trap"?
Reuters reporter asked a question
Ning Jizhe, Director of the National Bureau of Statistics: Risks and challenges come from both international and domestic. Internationally, unilateralism, protectionism, and anti-globalization are on the rise, and instability and uncertainty factors have increased, making my country's external development environment complex and severe. The problems of unbalanced and inadequate domestic development are still prominent, structural, institutional and cyclical contradictions coexist, and there are still many shortcomings and weaknesses in the field of social and people's livelihood. Faced with the risks and challenges in the next five years, the "Suggestion" proposes that it is necessary to coordinate the domestic and international situations, do the two major issues of development and security well, and prevent and resolve various risks and challenges.
The economic growth rate issue you are concerned about should be said that development is the basis and key to solving all problems in our country and is the first priority of our party in governing and rejuvenating the country. During the "" period, we must adhere to the new development concept and give full play to the potential of economic growth.In the next step, under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission will, in accordance with the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, earnestly carry out the relevant work of formulating the "Outline" of the National "14th Five-Year Plan", and based on the general direction and strategy determined in the "Suggestion", propose corresponding quantitative goals and specific indicators based on careful calculations, promote the economic achievement of reasonable growth in quantity and steady improvement in quality, and make a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. The Outline will be submitted to the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress for review and approval next year.
Rottotas reporter: How did China's economy develop under the epidemic prevention and control situation? What problems are encountered? How is the situation in employment and dealing with inflation?
Rotongtas reporter asked
Ning Jizhe, Director of the National Bureau of Statistics: It is a very realistic question. The COVID-19 epidemic has had a huge impact on the world, and China is no exception. China's economic development under epidemic prevention and control has six main characteristics:
First, timely control of the new crown epidemic has created a normal environment for development. Second, the rapid organization of resumption of work and production has promoted the steady recovery of the industry. Third, the decisive introduction of large-scale policies has stimulated the vitality of market entities. Fourth, giving priority to stabilizing employment and ensuring people's livelihood has stabilized the overall economic and social situation. Fifth, the new momentum of sustainable development has promoted the growth of new business forms and models against the trend. Sixth, firmly deepening reform and opening up has mobilized domestic and foreign production factors.
Under the influence of the epidemic, of course, we also encountered the problems of employment and food prices of migrant workers rising for a while. After taking measures to fight the epidemic and reform and opening up, these problems have been effectively alleviated. In the first three quarters, the annual target for new urban employment in China has been basically completed. The urban surveyed unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% at the beginning of the year to 5.4% in September, and the average increase in consumer prices was 3.3%, of which fell to 1.7% in September. The supply and price stability of pork and other foods have also been achieved.
In the next step, we will adhere to normalized epidemic prevention and control and not relax, pay more attention to stabilizing policies and expectations, pay more attention to smoothing the economic cycle, improve cross-cycle design and adjustment of macro-control, grasp the direction, focus, intensity and rhythm of regulation, better combine reasonable growth with increasing employment and stabilizing prices, and promote high-quality economic development.
