high-quality development is the theme of china's economic and social development during the 14th five-year plan period and beyond, and bears on the overall situation of china's socialist modernization drive. general secretary xi jinping stressed that "high-quality development is not just an economic requirement, but a general requirement for all aspects of economic and social development; it is not only a requirement for economically developed regions, but a requirement that all regions must implement their development. this is not a temporary requirement, but a long-term requirement that must be upheld." these three requirements chart the course for high-quality development. we must apply high-quality development to all fields and the whole process of economic and social development, and take the road of high-quality development unswervingly.
to promote high-quality development, we must adhere to all-round improvement, "not a single thing is missing". the core of high-quality development is high-quality economic development, but it is not the same as high-quality economic development. it should be reflected in all aspects of economic and social development. as socialism with chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the principal contradiction facing chinese society has become that between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life. the people's ever-growing needs for a better life not only include their higher demands for material and cultural life, but also their ever-growing new demands for democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security and the environment. correspondingly, the focus of development has been expanded from material production to include economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization "five-in-one" development. we must adhere to the philosophy of people-centered development, attach greater importance to the quality and efficiency of development, and solve prominent issues of common concern to the people, such as employment, education, medical care, housing, social security, the environment, and security. high-quality development must not be limited to the economic field. it must be reflected in the economic, social, cultural, ecological and other fields, so that the people can have a tangible and comprehensive sense of gain.
to promote high-quality development, we must ensure that the whole country plays a chess game, and "no one must be left behind". in the final analysis, high-quality development is for the common prosperity of all the people. "all the people", as the name implies, includes the people of all regions. only when all regions achieve high-quality development can we achieve common prosperity. since the 18th national congress of the cpc, the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core has attached great importance to coordinated regional development, the large-scale development of the western region, the revitalization of the northeast, the rise of the central region, and the modernization of the eastern region. with the coordinated development of the beijing-tianjin-hebei region, the development of the yangtze river economic belt, the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area, the integrated development of the yangtze river delta, ecological protection and high-quality development of the yellow river basin, and the construction of the chengdu-chongqing twin-city economic circle, the relative gap between regions has gradually narrowed. promote the development of high quality, not simply for each region to achieve the same level of economic and social development, but to admit the objective differences, through perfecting regional strategic plan as a whole, market integration development, regional cooperation and mutual assistance, interregional interest compensation mechanism, to better promote the developed region and undeveloped region, east common development in the midwest and northeast. at the same time, all regions should take measures in light of their actual conditions, build on their strengths and complement their weaknesses, and blaze a path of high-quality development suited to their own conditions.
to promote high-quality development, we must always stay on the road and never stop for a moment. high-quality development is by no means a timely or expedient measure. rather, it is a strategic choice based on the overall situation of socialist modernization. we must adhere to and continue to promote high-quality development for a long time to come. the world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. the international environment is becoming more complex and destabilizing and uncertain. the global covid-19 pandemic is accelerating its evolution, and we must be ready to deal with all kinds of complex and difficult situations at any time. our country is still in the and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, is still the world's largest developing country, insufficient development imbalance problems still outstanding, innovation ability doesn't meet the development requirements of high quality, agriculture as the foundation is not solid, regional development and income distribution gap between urban and rural areas is larger, the ecological environmental protection has a long way, the people's livelihood security existence, social governance and weaknesses, solving these problems will not happen overnight. high-quality development, as the new and higher requirement for economic and social development, cannot be achieved easily or by beating the drum. we must be prepared to make even more arduous efforts. we must maintain strategic focus and avoid any temptation to take a breather or rest. we must persevere with the spirit of driving nails to the end.
during the 14th five-year plan period, china will enter a new stage of development. the starting point of all our strategies and policies must meet the requirements of high-quality development, be more conscious of and determined to promote high-quality development, and make every effort to put the theme of high-quality development into practice, so as to ensure that we get off to a good start in building a modern socialist country in all respects.
