At present, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and China's development has entered a period of coexistence of strategic opportunities, risks and challenges, and increasing uncertainties and unpredictable factors. On the one hand, the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is full of vitality, and the building of a modern socialist country in an all-round way shows bright prospects. On the other hand, major tests will continue to arise when the winds are high and the waves are even stormy, and we must be prepared to make more arduous and arduous efforts to achieve the set goals. In this context, we must be good at perceiving the general trend and grasping opportunities.
It should be noted that on the way forward, we will face all kinds of foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and challenges. From a domestic point of view, the deep-seated contradictions in China's reform and development are superimposed and intertwined, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent, the ability of scientific and technological innovation is not strong, and the security risks in the fields of food, energy, industrial chain, and finance still exist. From an international point of view, the international balance of power has been profoundly adjusted, the impact of the pandemic of the century has been far-reaching, the trend of anti-globalization has risen, unilateralism and protectionism have risen, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the external pressure on China's development has increased.
While we see the increase in risks and challenges, it is also important to recognize that the times and the momentum are on our side in general. **The general secretary pointed out: "Entering a new stage of development, the profound changes in the domestic and foreign environment have brought not only a series of new opportunities, but also a series of new challenges. "We must scientifically grasp the dialectical relationship between crisis and opportunity, and fully understand the necessity and importance of cultivating opportunities in the crisis and opening up a new situation in the changing situation. For example, the in-depth development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has provided new opportunities for us to open up new fields and new tracks for economic development and shape new development momentum and new advantages. Another example is the profound adjustment of the international balance of power, which provides new opportunities for us to promote high-level opening-up and play a greater role in global governance. We must enhance our sense of urgency, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, be prepared for danger in times of peace, take precautions, and soberly understand the long-term and complex nature of various international and domestic risks and challenges. At the same time, it is necessary to gain insight into the general trend, grasp the opportunities, face the problems, face the difficulties, and firmly grasp the initiative of development.
Our confidence stems from the superiority of the system. Practice has proved that the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is an advanced system with distinctive Chinese characteristics, obvious institutional advantages, and strong self-improvement capabilities. We firmly uphold the authority and centralized and unified leadership, ensure that the party plays the role of the core of leadership in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties, and the people of all ethnic groups across the country think and work together to ensure that all work is always moving in the right direction. We insist that the people are the masters of the country, develop whole-process people's democracy, adhere to the people-centered approach, and closely rely on the people to promote national development. We adhere to integrity and innovation, keep pace with the times, continue to deepen reform, increase institutional innovation, so that the society is always full of vitality, and so on. The unique advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics have enabled us to withstand major tests in the midst of high winds and waves, work hard and move forward bravely.
We have the strong ability to take the initiative to recognize and adapt to changes, and actively prevent and resolve risks. For example, in the face of the complex domestic and international economic situation, we have adhered to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, faced difficulties and responded calmly, and China's economy has rebounded on the whole, showing great resilience and potential. In the face of the accelerating evolution of the world due to major changes unseen in a century, we are firmly committed to safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind, and promoting the development of global governance in a more just and reasonable direction.
Building China into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way is a great and arduous undertaking. We must adhere to the guidance of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, use a scientific worldview and approach to answer the issues of the times, accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, and take the initiative to seek changes, grasp opportunities in insight into the general trend, constantly overcome various risks and challenges, and continuously push forward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
