we will fully implement the new arrangements and measures on our new journey
since the 18th national congress of the cpc, socialism with chinese characteristics has entered a new era. under the strong leadership of the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core, historic achievements have been made and historic changes have taken place in the cause of the party and country. we achieved the first centenary goal on schedule and embarked on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist country. in his important speech at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the communist party of china (cpc), general secretary xi jinping set new navigational aids, made new arrangements and proposed new measures for comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
socialism with chinese characteristics is a historical process of continuous development and progress with distinct stages. the phased undertaking and phased objectives reflect the process of the development of socialism with chinese characteristics. in the course of creating, upholding and developing socialism with chinese characteristics, our party, in accordance with the laws of social development, the basic national conditions and the aspirations of the people, has gradually established and improved a system of goals that reflect the course of our cause. that is, from providing adequate food and clothing to initially developing a moderately prosperous society, to completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, to basically realizing socialist modernization, and to building china into a great modern socialist country. to embark on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist country is to build china into a great modern socialist country in two steps on the basis of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. such a strategic arrangement shows that china's social development has progressed at a fast pace and achieved great achievements, which have exceeded expectations. at the same time, it also shows that china still has great potential for social development and has a solid social foundation and rich material conditions to achieve new and higher development goals.
we have a lot of work to do. we have a lot of work to do. we have a lot of new challenges. general secretary xi jinping has clearly stated: "the new journey, we must adhere to the party's basic theory, basic line, basic strategy, overall layout, plan as a whole to promote" five one "coordination advances the strategy of" four comprehensive layout, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, based on the new stage of development, complete, accurate, comprehensive implementation of new development concept, build a new development pattern, promote the development of high quality, advancing technology free-standing self-improvement, we should ensure that the people are masters of the country, uphold the rule of law, uphold the core socialist values, ensure and improve people's wellbeing through development, and maintain harmony between man and nature, so as to make the people prosperous, the country strong, and china beautiful." the new arrangements and measures proposed by general secretary xi jinping are closely linked and interconnected. it embodies our party's scientific judgment on the characteristics of the times and the direction of development. it also encapsulates our party's profound understanding of the laws governing the communist party of china, building socialism, and the development of human society. the full implementation of these new plans and measures is a necessary requirement for us to uphold and develop socialism with chinese characteristics in the new era.
at present, china's development is still unbalanced and inadequate, and new breakthroughs are yet to be made in some key areas of reform. china has put innovation at the core of its overall development, but its innovation capacity is not yet ready for high-quality development. china's rural development in recent years, but the rural infrastructure is still relatively weak, investment is not very sufficient; china has made solid steps towards achieving common prosperity, but there is a large gap in development between urban and rural areas, between regions and in income distribution. china has made remarkable achievements in the spirit of ecological civilization, but it still faces great pressure to strengthen ecological and environmental protection. china has built the world's largest social security system, but there are still areas of weakness in ensuring people's wellbeing. china has established a unique social governance system, but there are still weaknesses in social governance. at the same time, although china is moving closer to the center of the world stage, it is also faced with an increasingly complex external environment and a significant increase in various predictable and unpredictable risks. at the same time, we need to strike a balance between development and security, properly respond to challenges brought about by changes in the external environment, and safeguard china's sovereignty, security and development interests. only by fully implementing the new plans and measures can we meet challenges and solve problems, better uphold and develop socialism with chinese characteristics, and successfully achieve the second centenary goal.
we should take china's development and progress into our own hands
socialism with chinese characteristics is a fundamental achievement that the party has led the people to achieve through untold hardships and at great cost. it is the right path for the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. it determines the development direction of contemporary china, but also determines the future and destiny of contemporary china. looking ahead, only by unswervingly upholding and developing socialism with chinese characteristics can we keep china's development and progress firmly in our own hands.
the diversity of historical conditions determines the diversity of development paths and models of countries around the world. the development and progress of human society can be expressed through different forms of civilization, and the social ideal of each country can be realized through different development paths. what kind of development path a country will eventually follow depends on historical and current factors and is also the result of the independent choice of its people. no country should have prejudice against other countries' social system and development path, still less should it attempt to assimilate other countries and impose its own social system, development path and value system on them. socialism with chinese characteristics reflects the course of china's social development and the demands of the times. it has deep historical roots and a broad foundation in reality. it is a distinctive road to national prosperity, people's happiness, and national rejuvenation.
in china, a big country in the east, upholding and developing socialism with chinese characteristics is a great initiative. there is no precedent to follow and no textbook that can be taken as golden rule. we must rely on the continuous exploration and innovation of our party and people in practice. great achievements have been made in the development of socialism with chinese characteristics, but there is still a long way to go. on our new journey, we must follow the guidance of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era, strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with chinese characteristics, and continue to make new explorations and innovations. in this process, we need to learn from the useful experience of other countries, but we must continue to innovate in learning, and maintain and give full play to our own advantages. as general secretary xi jinping has pointed out, "we actively learn from all the beneficial achievements of human civilization and welcome all helpful suggestions and criticism, but we will never accept lectures like 'teachers'! the communist party of china and the chinese people will march forward on the path they have chosen and keep china's development and progress firmly in their own hands."
