Development is the last word and the foundation and key to solving all problems. From the "First Five-Year Plan" to the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", it fully embodies that development is not only a process of consolidating the country's material foundation, but also a process of improving comprehensive national strength and people's living standards, and it is also a process of consolidating the party's ruling position and establishing the socialist ideals and beliefs of all people. Only in the process of development can people gradually strengthen their road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, and better strengthen their firm belief in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
As the largest developing country in the world, China is still in the primary stage of socialism. Resolve various contradictions and risks, cross the "middle income trap", realize modernization and rely on development. Promoting economic construction is an important foundation for national prosperity, social stability and people's happiness. Now, China's economic development has entered a new normal, and it is at the threshold of climbing over the hill. We must unswervingly adhere to economic construction as the center and earnestly do a good job in development, the top priority of governing and rejuvenating the country; We should consciously understand and better follow the laws of economic and social development, and constantly improve our ability and level of leading economic and social development.
Second, efforts should be made to maintain political stability and social harmony.
It is not difficult to see from the whole five-year plan that political stability is the premise of economic and social development; Social harmony is an important guarantee for the country's prosperity, national rejuvenation and people's happiness. Maintaining political stability and social harmony is a necessary prerequisite for the smooth realization of economic and social development goals, and also a basic condition for ensuring people to live and work in peace and contentment. Without political stability and social harmony, nothing can be discussed, which is the consensus we have reached by summing up successful experiences and mistakes in every five-year plan (plan) practice. Political stability and social harmony create a good environment for development and reform, and a good environment is a necessary condition for giving full play to people's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. At the same time, political stability and social harmony should adhere to the direction and nature of socialist development and reform. By adhering to the stability and continuity of China's fundamental political system and basic political system, we will enhance the confidence of the people of the whole country in taking the road of common prosperity.
During the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, to maintain political stability and build a harmonious society, we must adhere to the four cardinal principles, accelerate economic development, promote democratic political construction, strengthen the self-construction of the ruling party, correctly handle contradictions among the people, and grasp the relationship between reform, development and stability.
Third, we must adhere to the people-centered development concept.
From the founding of New China, the people of China actively participated in the socialist construction with the spirit of ownership, to the comprehensive expansion of the number of households, and then to the vigorous rise of mass entrepreneurship and innovation, all of which showed the active participation and brave exploration of the broad masses of the people and promoted the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of China's economic and social development. It can be said that people are the fundamental force to promote development, the creative subject of advanced productive forces, the subject of scientific development and the source of strength to promote social development and progress.
At present, China's reform has entered the deep water area, and its development faces many problems. To solve the development problems and solve the risk challenges in all aspects, we must keep close contact with the masses, rely on them closely, adhere to the development concept of everyone's participation, everyone's best efforts and everyone's sharing, concentrate the wisdom and strength of the people of all ethnic groups in the whole society to the maximum extent, mobilize and organize hundreds of millions of people to join the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and form a torrent of great cause with one heart and one mind. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we adhered to the people-centered development concept, and we must realize that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people. Taking people's yearning for a better life as the goal, we will promote the coordinated development of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction needed for people's all-round development, lay a solid material foundation for the country's prosperity, people's happiness and well-being, social harmony and stability, and realize economic and social development.
Fourth, we must ensure that the party is in power scientifically, democratically and according to law.
Scientific governance, democratic governance and legal governance are the innovation and development of our party's governance mode on the basis of absorbing the achievements of contemporary political civilization. Scientific governance is an important ruling principle of our party, and its basic requirement is to respect and grasp objective laws in all aspects of governance. Democratic governance is the basis for the party to win the long-term support and heartfelt support of the people. Its basic requirements are based on the national conditions, based on the staged characteristics of economic and social development, and always considering the people. Ruling by law is the fundamental guarantee of our party's long-term governance, and its basic requirement is that we must always adhere to the unity of governing the country according to law and governing the party according to regulations, and the party's leadership governs the country according to law and within the scope of law.
From the first five-year plan to the formulation and implementation of the twelfth five-year plan, there are successes and mistakes, brilliant achievements and painful lessons. These historical facts are the best interpretation of science, democracy and the rule of law. In the face of honor and achievements, the party and the people guard against arrogance and rashness; In the face of mistakes and lessons, the whole party reflected in time, always insisted on making plans (plans) scientifically and normatively on the basis of soliciting opinions extensively, and pragmatically implemented plans (plans), taking scientific governance, democratic governance and ruling according to law as the direction of efforts, and always closely combining the three and putting them into the party's ruling practice.
Fifth, we must earnestly create a good political ecology.
Political ecology is a comprehensive embodiment of the party style, political style and social atmosphere under the leadership of the ruling party. Political ecology is related to the image of the party and the overall situation of work. If the political ecology is good, the people's hearts will be smooth and the righteousness will be enough; The political ecology is not good, people are distracted, and they are terminally ill. Political ecology is related to people's hearts and the rise and fall of the cause. Good political ecology is the basic guarantee for the healthy development of various social undertakings.
From the first five-year plan to the formulation and implementation of the twelfth five-year plan, it is not difficult to see that whenever the political ecology is relatively bad, the country's economic and social development will be greatly affected, and the five-year plan (plan) will be blocked or even discounted from formulation to implementation; Whenever there is a clean and harmonious political ecology, the economy will develop steadily and rapidly, various social undertakings will advance by leaps and bounds, and development achievements will be gratifying. Political ecology is not only closely related to people's lives, but also affects the economic development and social civilization progress in various places. At the critical moment of the formulation and implementation of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", it is particularly important to create a good political ecology and strengthen the construction of our party's ruling ability, advanced nature and purity.
The sixth is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win in open cooperation.
Opening to the outside world is the only way for a country or region to prosper and develop. No matter a country or a region, the degree of openness determines the development space, the progress of openness determines the development speed, and the depth of openness determines the development level. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, China has established diplomatic relations with most countries in the world. In China, a multi-level, wide-ranging and all-round opening-up pattern of "special economic zones-coastal open cities-coastal economic open areas-open areas along rivers and borders-inland open areas" has initially taken shape. The great influence, benefits, prosperity and progress of opening to the outside world on a country's economy, society and culture are increasingly cherished by people.
Practice has proved that the greater the openness and scope, the better the benefits; On the other hand, limited openness has little effect. Especially since the Sixth Five-Year Plan, with the stability of the international and domestic political and economic environment, the state has always regarded opening-up cooperation as an important part of its planning, gradually promoted the speed and intensity of opening-up, improved the quality and efficiency of opening-up, expanded the fields and space of cooperation, and gradually formed an open economic system that is mutually beneficial, multi-balanced, safe and efficient, and integrated into the world development pattern with a more active opening concept and action depth.
Seven, we should continue to deepen reform as the driving force to promote the comprehensive and in-depth implementation of the "planning".
Reform and opening up is a great new revolution led by the Party in the new era, and it is a key choice to determine the fate of contemporary China. After the "Cultural Revolution", China is at an important historical juncture. Whether to continue to adhere to the wrong line of "two whatevers" or to completely give up taking class struggle as the key link and shift the work center of the party and the state to economic construction is related to the future and destiny of socialist China. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China profoundly summed up the positive and negative experiences of China's socialist construction, drew lessons from the historical experience of the world socialist movement, conformed to the development trend of the times and people's wishes, decisively made a great decision to implement reform and opening up, timely adjusted the basic tasks of the five-year plan, and started a new historical period of China's development with economic construction as the center. Since then, the national economy has entered a track of sustained, stable and rapid development. Practice has proved that without reform, there would be no establishment and perfection of China's socialist industrial system and national economic system, let alone such a good situation today.
At a new historical starting point, the times require further deepening reform, economic and social development calls for further deepening reform, and people expect further deepening reform. We must break through the shackles of ideological concepts and the barriers of solidification of interests with greater determination, unswervingly deepen reform in an all-round way, focus on promoting the comprehensive and in-depth implementation of the 13 th Five-Year Plan in the spirit of reform, and win a decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Eight, we should focus on innovation and strive to promote the in-depth implementation of the plan.
Innovation is an important force to promote the development of a country and a nation, and also an important force to promote the development of the whole human society. After decades of sustained and rapid development, China's total economic output has jumped to the second place in the world, and its per capita GDP is close to $8,000. At the same time, however, contradictions such as low industrial level, unbalanced development, and increased rigid constraints on resources and environment have become increasingly prominent. At the critical juncture of crossing the "middle income trap", only by making new arrangements and achieving new breakthroughs in innovation and development can we keep up with the world development trend and grasp the initiative in development. Practice has proved that innovation has become a new stage for competition among big countries. Whoever dominates innovation can dominate the rules and competition process of the arena.
In the new development journey, facing the great opportunities and challenges of the new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, facing the trend changes and characteristics under the new normal of economic development, and facing the historical task and strategic mission of realizing the goal of "two hundred years", China needs to establish the concept of innovation development and implement the innovation-driven development strategy more than at any time in history. Therefore, during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, we must accelerate the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, build an effective institutional environment, reduce the cost and risk of innovation activities, and finally realize the change of growth momentum from factor-driven to innovation-driven, and strive to promote the in-depth implementation of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan.
Nine, we should strengthen the authority, guidance and operability of planning.
The person with a sharp beginning will calculate the ending, and the successful person will calculate the beginning first. Planning is the leader, the general program of national economic development, the blueprint of socialist construction, and the strategic and overall basic work. Planning is directly related to the quality and benefit of socialist modernization, to the coordinated development of economy, society, population, resources and environment, and to the improvement of people's living standards. The implementation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" proves that scientific planning will certainly promote the rapid and stable development of the national economy, but it will also bring immeasurable losses to society and people if it does not follow the laws of economic and social development and blindly pursues speed and perfection.
To strengthen the predictability, guidance and operability of planning, we must accurately grasp China's basic national conditions and development status quo, scientifically predict China's economic and social development trend in the next five years or even longer, and ensure that the proposed goals and measures can conform to the development trend and lead the development direction. At the same time, we should establish the consciousness of "planning as law, law enforcement as mountain". A clear plan is a "law", and once approved, it has mandatory effect. No unit or individual can ignore or even give up planning under various excuses, but should formulate practical and concrete measures on the basis of obeying the planning to ensure the rigid implementation and full implementation of the planning.
