Severely affected by the sudden epidemic of corona pneumonia, this year is a remarkable year in the history of New China. In the face of the current epidemic situation that continues to plague the world, and in the face of major changes in the world that have not been seen in a century, we, as a major economy, have achieved the only achievement in the world to achieve positive economic growth. This is the Central Committee of the Party with Comrade Xi Jinping in the center. The result of strong leadership. This shows that the authority of the Party Central Committee is the fundamental support for the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to face difficulties in times of crisis. Faced with great historical conjunctures and great tests, the judgment, the power of decision and the power of action of the Central Committee of the Party play a decisive role.

The livelihood of the people is the most important policy. Faced with a major epidemic, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has always defended the supremacy and life of the people first and at all costs, to protect the safety and health of the people, has made important strategic achievements in the national fight against the epidemic. A large country with a population of 1.4 billion, after 8 years of continuous struggle, nearly 100 million poor people have risen out of poverty in the face of numerous difficulties and have completed the task of alleviating poverty in the new era on schedule. Behind this, the supremacy of the people is the fundamental requirement to make correct decisions. As long as it is intended that people are always in the heart and the interests of people are always in the highest position, you will be able to make correct decisions, determine the best path and trust people to overcome all difficulties and obstacles.

This year is the last year of the 13th Five-Year Plan. The three great battles have achieved decisive achievements and the victory of building a well-off society in all respects is in sight. The strong recovery of the Chinese economy has also injected vitality into the recovery of the world economy and has contributed greatly to the growth of the world economy. The ability to continue promoting high-quality economic development under the impact of the epidemic benefits from the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. The advantage of the system is the fundamental guarantee for the formation of the force to overcome the majestic difficulties. As long as the “four self-confidences” are strengthened and the advantages of the system of concentrating forces on the major issues are maintained, surely the entire party and the peoples of all ethnic groups in the country will be able to unite closely and strive to overcome difficulties. Difficult and powerful energy to promote professional development.

Scientific decision making and creative response are the fundamental methods for turning crises into opportunities. As long as we accurately recognize change, respond scientifically, and actively seek change, we can create great opportunities in the fight against great risks. We must be seriously aware that the world economic situation next year will continue to be complex and serious, the recovery will be unstable and uneven, and the various derived risks caused by the impact of the epidemic cannot be ignored. Now that the “XIV Five-Year Plan” is about to begin and China’s socialist modernization is about to embark on a new journey, the Party Central Committee creatively proposes to build a new pattern of development that takes the domestic cycle as the main body and national and international dual cycles promote each other. This scientific decision-making and creative response, which will revolve strictly on the main line of structural reform on the supply side and focus on management on the demand side, will provide a powerful impetus to improve the overall efficiency of the economic system. national.

Innovation is the prime driving force of development and technology is a powerful weapon to overcome difficulties. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, significant strides in technological innovation have been made year after year. In the early morning of December 17, the Chang’e 5 successfully returned to earth with the lunar soil; the main strategic achievements of the national fight against the epidemic cannot be separated from the support of China’s advanced science and technology; and in the last five years, artificial intelligence, 5G communications, the Internet of things, etc. New technologies have been widely used in more fields, and the added value of the digital economy as a proportion of GDP has increased significantly, becoming a new driving force for the high-quality development of China’s economy. This shows that scientific and technological self-sufficiency is the fundamental support to promote the general situation of development. As long as we maintain the scientific spirit, understand the laws of science, and vigorously promote independent innovation, we can definitely build the country’s development on a safer and more reliable foundation.
