General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that from now until 2020, it will be the decisive period for building a well-off society in an all-round way. The decisive battle is the assault signal and the general mobilization, which requires us to regard building a well-off society in an all-round way as the primary historical task and major historical responsibility facing the whole party at present, to give full play to the strength of the whole party and the whole country, to have a sense of mission and responsibility that waits for no time and is determined to forge ahead, and to ensure that the goal of the first century is achieved as scheduled with the mental state and practical actions of decisive battle.
First, profoundly understand the great significance of winning the battle and building a well-off society in an all-round way
The grand blueprint of building a well-off society in an all-round way is gradually becoming a reality, from the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way put forward by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, to the overall deployment of building a well-off society in an all-round way at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Winning the battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way is of great historical significance for achieving the goal of "two hundred years" and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Building a well-off society in an all-round way bears our party’s solemn commitment to the people and history. "People also work hard, Mao can be well-off. Hui China, with Sui Sifang. " A well-off society has been a beautiful ideal pursued by the people since ancient times. After the reform and opening up, our party has made a "three-step" strategic arrangement for China’s socialist modernization. On the basis of solving the problem of people’s food and clothing ahead of schedule and achieving a well-off level in general, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a well-off society at a higher level in an all-round way in the first 20 years of this century, benefiting more than one billion people. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed to build a well-off society in an all-round way by 2020. From "construction" to "all-round construction" and then to "all-round completion" is a solemn commitment made by our party with a view to different stages of economic and social development and new requirements of modernization, which embodies the strategic determination of the party to lead the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to continue to struggle for it for a long time. Building a well-off society in an all-round way will not only realize people’s long-cherished desire for a well-off society since ancient times, but also greatly enhance the party’s cohesion, centripetal force and credibility, further stimulate the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, take advantage of the situation and "roll up your sleeves and work hard" under the leadership of the party, so as to make firm progress and make unremitting progress in achieving the goal of the next century.
Winning the battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way is an important process to promote the resolution of major social contradictions in the new era. Accurately grasping the changes of major social contradictions in different stages of development is an important prerequisite for successfully promoting the development of the cause of the party and the state. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major judgment that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and clearly pointed out that the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. This judgment accurately reflects the stage characteristics of China’s development, and promoting the resolution of this contradiction is the main focus of all work at present and in the future. The decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way is to closely follow the major contradictions and changes in China’s society, focus on solving the problem of insufficient development imbalance, make overall plans to promote economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of development, better meet the people’s growing needs in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological aspects, and better promote the all-round development of people and social progress.
Winning the battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way is an important support for starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. It is a strategic arrangement for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era to build a well-off society in an all-round way, to basically realize modernization, and then to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way. From the time point of view, building a well-off society in an all-round way not only inherits history, but also connects the future, which is a key step to realize the goal of the second century and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and an important milestone in the process of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s modernization. From the development requirements, the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way not only emphasizes the "well-off" level of development, but also pays more attention to the quality and comprehensiveness of development, which not only meets the current development needs, but also focuses on the sustainability of development. This goal is closely linked with building a socialist modern power in an all-round way, closely linked in time and fully linked in the development of various undertakings. Only by achieving the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled can we lay a solid foundation and provide strong support for starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marching towards the goal of the second century.
Second, accurately grasp the favorable conditions and difficult challenges in the decisive period of building a well-off society in an all-round way
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we have unswervingly implemented the new development concept, adhered to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, made overall plans to promote the "five in one" overall layout and coordinated the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, successfully completed the 12th Five-Year Plan, successfully implemented the 13th Five-Year Plan, made great achievements in economic and social development, and constantly improved the quality and efficiency of development, so as to build a well-off society in an all-round way for the decisive victory.
The economy developed steadily and healthily. In the case of increasing base, the economy maintained medium-high growth, 2013— In 2016, the GDP grew at an average annual rate of 7.2%, contributing more than 30% to the world economic growth. The structural reform of the supply side has been further promoted, the relationship between supply and demand has been improved, and the quality of supply has been continuously improved. The economic structure has been continuously optimized, agricultural modernization has been steadily promoted, and strategic emerging industries have flourished. The added value of service industry accounts for more than half of the GDP, consumption has become the main driving force for economic growth, and the coordination of urban and rural regional development has been enhanced. The innovation-driven development strategy was vigorously implemented, and the old and new kinetic energy were transformed in an orderly manner.
Deepen reform in an all-round way and make a major breakthrough. In the past five years, the reform has been carried out in an all-round way, with multiple breakthroughs and in-depth advancement, and more than 1,500 reform measures have been launched. Breakthroughs have been made in important areas and key links such as "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services", investment and financing, prices, state-owned assets of state-owned enterprises and key industries, and the momentum of economic and social development has been continuously enhanced.
People’s lives are constantly improving. Decisive progress has been made in the fight against poverty, and more than 60 million poor people have been steadily lifted out of poverty. The employment situation has continued to improve, with an average of more than 13 million new jobs in cities and towns. The income growth rate of urban and rural residents exceeded the economic growth rate, and the middle-income group continued to expand. A social security network covering urban and rural residents has been established, and people’s health and medical and health standards have been greatly improved.
Ecological environment management has been significantly strengthened. The concept of green development was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the system of ecological civilization system was accelerated. The main functional area system was gradually improved, and the national park system was actively promoted. Saving resources in an all-round way and promoting effectively, 2013— In 2016, the energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 17.9%, and the environmental situation was improved.
Opening to the outside world has been deepening. The "Belt and Road" construction has achieved remarkable results, and the new open economic system has been gradually improved. In 2016, the total import and export value of goods trade reached US$ 3.68 trillion, foreign capital utilization reached US$ 126 billion, foreign direct investment reached US$ 170.1 billion, and foreign exchange reserves reached US$ 3,010.5 billion at the end of the year, ranking among the top in the world.
More importantly, on the basis of continuous exploration and practice, our party has made great theoretical innovations, formed the supreme leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, profoundly revealed the essential characteristics, development laws and construction paths of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and provided a powerful driving force and fundamental follow-up for the decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way. We are fully capable, qualified and confident to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled.
At the same time, we are also soberly aware that there are still many shortcomings and weaknesses in building a well-off society in an all-round way, and we still need to work hard to solve the problem of insufficient development of imbalance. First, there are many major risks in the economic and social fields. Financial risks and local government debt risks cannot be ignored, and there are still many information security risks and social instability factors. Second, the task of getting rid of poverty is arduous. At the end of 2016, there were still more than 40 million rural poor people in China, and quite a few of them lived in deep poverty areas with poor natural conditions, difficult transportation and weak economic foundation. It is more difficult to solve these poverty problems than before. Third, ecological environment protection has a long way to go. Environmental protection still lags behind economic and social development. In some areas, the environmental carrying capacity has reached or approached the upper limit, with heavy environmental pollution, great ecological damage and high environmental risk, which is difficult to meet the people’s growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. Fourth, the quality and efficiency of development are still not high. The innovation ability is not strong enough, it is difficult to convert the old and new development kinetic energy, the transformation of economic development mode is not in place, and the level of the real economy needs to be improved. Faced with these difficulties and challenges, we must, in accordance with the requirements of building a well-off society in an all-round way, focus on key points, fill shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and promote solutions one by one with the spirit of nailing nails.
