Theoretical Feature: Conscientiously study and implement the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Taking adhering to high-quality development as the last word in the new era fully reflects the fact that the understanding of the laws of what kind of modern socialist power to build and how to build a modern socialist power with Comrade *** as the core has reached a new height, which shows the strong historical responsibility of our party to consciously promote high-quality development with the sober cognition of "hard truth", and points out the way forward and provides a scientific path for continuously promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized: "High-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. At the economic work conference held at the end of last year, the general secretary stressed that we must adhere to high-quality development as the last word in the new era. At the beginning of this year, he emphasized at the 11th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China that we must keep in mind that high-quality development is the last word in the new era. This fully reflects that the understanding of the law of what kind of modern socialist power to build and how to build a modern socialist power with Comrade *** as the core has reached a new height, and shows that our party has a strong historical responsibility to consciously promote high-quality development with a sober understanding of "hard truth", and has pointed out the direction of progress and provided a scientific path for continuously promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
High-quality development is the last word in the new era".
Based on the new changes and new characteristics of the domestic and international development situation, the general secretary put forward a series of new ideas, new arguments and new concepts around major issues such as what is high-quality development, why to promote high-quality development, and how to promote high-quality development. The generation of theoretical concepts has a basis for social existence. The "hard truth" is the visual expression of the fundamental principle and the inner essence at the level of the discourse system, which aims to emphasize the consistent and fundamental position of the regular judgment that cannot be deviated from for a while, and expresses the strategic determination and strong will to resolutely implement the regular judgment.
First, grasp high-quality development based on goal orientation. **The general secretary profoundly emphasized that it is better to coordinate the effective improvement of economic quality and the reasonable growth of quantity, insist on winning by quality, and achieve qualitative change by the accumulation of quantitative changes. Following the law of mutual change of quality, when economic development reaches a certain stage, it is inevitably necessary to get rid of the category of judging the level of economic development according to speed, scale and quantity, and inevitably put forward higher requirements for quality, structure and total factor productivity. Therefore, regarding quality as life and pursuing high-quality development as the goal, it profoundly embodies the rationale and philosophy of scientifically grasping the dialectical unity relationship between "quality" and "quantity" in economic development in the new era and new journey.
Second, grasp high-quality development based on methodological principles. **The general secretary stressed that high-quality development "is a development that embodies the new development concept, and a development in which innovation becomes the primary driving force, coordination becomes an endogenous feature, green becomes a universal form, openness becomes the only way, and sharing becomes the fundamental purpose". The new development concept and high-quality development are intrinsically unified. Whether the development concept and the method and principle are right fundamentally determines the effectiveness and even the success or failure of development. Therefore, in order to effectively solve development problems and enhance development momentum, we must always regard the new development concept as a whole, adhere to innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development, unify the whole party and the whole country in thinking, coordinate action, forge ahead, and constantly write a new chapter of high-quality development in the new era.
Third, grasp high-quality development based on evaluation indicators. **The general secretary emphasized that the assessment and evaluation system for promoting high-quality development should be improved to lay a solid foundation for promoting high-quality development. High-quality development is a development goal, a development process, and a realistic evaluation of the degree of economic and social development. We must always adhere to the quality first.
1. The value evaluation system and assessment mechanism with efficiency priority as the core element vigorously enhance quality awareness, regard quality as life, pursue high quality, and guide the whole society to form a good atmosphere for promoting high-quality development. In other words, from the perspective of the criterion of testing the effectiveness of development, whether we adhere to high-quality development should become the logical starting point for us to think about all issues and the fundamental criterion for testing all work.
High-quality development is the last word in the new era".
Economic and social development is a dynamic process of spiraling upward and stepwise progression from quantitative to qualitative change. Following the historical logic of development and evolution, from "development" to "high-quality development", from "the last word" to "the last word in the new era", it not only keeps pace with the times, but also keeps integrity and innovation, demarcates the new direction of China's economic and social development, and reflects the new adjustment of our party's development ideas and the new pursuit of the development realm.
Taking high-quality development as the last word in the new era is a historical requirement to adapt to the changes in the main contradictions in China's society. Based on the new historical orientation of China's development, our party has made it clear that the main contradiction in society in the new era has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. Adhering to the people-centered development philosophy, satisfying the people's growing needs for a better life with fuller and more balanced development, and continuously transforming the fruits of development into quality of life have become the foundation and key to solving all problems in contemporary China. **The general secretary emphasized that "high-quality development is development that can well meet the people's growing needs for a better life", which not only expands our understanding of the relationship between high-quality development and a better life, but also provides a fundamental objective basis for us to further transform the development mode and achieve higher-quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development.
Taking high-quality development as the last word in the new era is a realistic requirement for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. Chinese modernization calls for high-quality development. Compared with the extensive development model of one-sided pursuit of high growth, it is more in line with the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization to completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and strive to promote high-quality development. High-quality development is the key to ensuring the steady and long-term development of Chinese-style modernization. At present, the level of China's social productivity has been significantly improved on the whole, and historic achievements have been made in economic and social development, but some difficulties and challenges need to be overcome to further promote the economic recovery, mainly due to insufficient effective demand, overcapacity in some industries, weak social expectations, and many hidden risks. The key to coping with and solving these problems must be to take economic construction as the center and high-quality development as the primary task, continuously expand China's economic, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength, and successfully promote and expand Chinese-style modernization in high-quality economic and social development.
Taking high-quality development as the last word in the new era is an inevitable requirement for firmly grasping the initiative for future development. In recent years, global challenges have occurred frequently, the domestic and international economic situation is complex, and the international development competition based on the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has become increasingly fierce. In the fierce international competition, the essence of comparative advantage is the quality and efficiency of economic development, which is manifested in the factor conditions, combination methods, innovation vitality and allocation efficiency of a country's economic development in the dynamic game between countries. Only by changing the mode of development and promoting economic and social development to achieve qualitative and effective improvement and reasonable quantitative growth can we avoid the risk of falling into the "middle-income trap". Only by focusing on the central task of economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development, putting the issue of development quality in a more prominent position, and striving to improve the quality and efficiency of development, can we ensure that China maintains its strategic initiative in the increasingly fierce global competition and obtains new competitive advantages in the future in the profound comparison of international forces.
Effectively unify ideological understanding with the requirements of high-quality development.
High-quality development brings not only a development proposition, but also a reform proposition. **The general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, and always grasp, measure and promote development with the internal unity of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. In the new era and new journey, we must lead the practice of high-quality development with the new development concept, effectively unify our thinking and understanding with the requirements of high-quality development, adhere to the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability with progress, establishing first and then breaking down, and take multiple measures to promote China's economic and social development to a new level.
To unswervingly adhere to the last word of high-quality development in the new era, we must lead the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation and accelerate the development of new quality productivity. **The general secretary stressed that scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models and new kinetic energy, and is the core element of the development of new quality productivity. There is no shortcut to achieving new breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation, and it must be promoted in high-quality development. It is necessary to continue to do a good job in innovation, be good at innovation and dare to act in the development of new quality productive forces, continuously improve the ability of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, focus on building an independent, controllable, safe and reliable, and competitive modern industrial system around the real economy, promote China's economy from extension expansion to connotative development through the two-wheel drive of innovation and reform, continuously cultivate and expand strategic emerging industries and future industries, and vigorously promote industrial digitization and digital industrialization. Promote the deep integration, quality improvement and upgrading of the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, talent chain, and value chain.
To unswervingly adhere to the last word of high-quality development in the new era, we must comprehensively promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. China has a vast territory and a large population, and the imbalance in development between urban and rural areas and between regions is an objective reality, so it is necessary to coordinate the coordinated development of urban and rural areas as the support to help the high-quality economic and social development in the new era. Specifically, it is necessary to organically combine the new urbanization construction with the county as the carrier and the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, and promote the two-way flow of various resource elements and the rational distribution of benefits in urban and rural areas. Accelerate the construction of a high-standard national unified market with coordinated regional development, build a high-quality regional economic layout and territorial space system with complementary advantages, and promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas to a higher level and higher quality.
To unswervingly adhere to the last word of high-quality development in the new era, we must promote green and low-carbon economic and social development. **The general secretary emphasized that green development is the background color of high-quality development, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. High-quality development is inherent in the characteristics of green and sustainable development. Therefore, it is necessary to firmly establish and practice the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, actively explore new ways to promote pollution control and ecological restoration, promote the formation of a green, low-carbon and circular development of the industrial structure, spatial pattern, production mode and lifestyle, pay attention to the harmonious development of man and nature, build a beautiful China, and empower high-quality economic and social development with a high-quality ecological environment.
To unswervingly adhere to the last word of the new era of high-quality development, we must adhere to opening up to the outside world and improve the level of mutual promotion of domestic and international dual circulation. Openness brings progress, while closure inevitably lags behind. To achieve high-quality development, we must persist in relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous driving force of development, coordinate the promotion of in-depth reform and high-level opening-up, and constantly liberate and develop social productive forces and stimulate and enhance social vitality. It is necessary to continue to expand high-level opening-up, focus on breaking through the blockages that restrict high-quality development, smooth the domestic and international dual circulation, promote the optimization of the business environment, improve the quality and level of international investment cooperation, actively and steadily promote institutional opening-up, and continue to benefit China and the world with high-level opening-up to help the achievements of high-quality development.
We must unswervingly adhere to the last word of high-quality development in the new era, and we must insist on ensuring and improving people's livelihood in high-quality development and promoting common prosperity for all people. **The general secretary stressed that people's happiness and well-being is the ultimate goal of promoting high-quality development. High-quality development is shared development, and achieving common prosperity for all people must rely on high-quality economic and social development. While making the "cake" bigger and better, we should continue to improve the income distribution system, solidly solve basic problems related to the vital interests of the people, such as education, employment, social security, medical care, housing security, childcare, and ecological protection, and strive to improve the quality of people's quality of life and the level of social sharing, continue to improve people's livelihood and well-being, and truly realize the mutual promotion of high-quality economic and social development and common prosperity for all people.
