Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the reason why the cause of the party and the country has been able to achieve historic achievements and historic changes lies in the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core and the guidance of Xi Jinping’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The most fundamental reason why my country’s economy can continue to reach a new level of higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable, and safer development, and continue to create new miracles of economic development, lies in the party with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. The strong leadership of the central government lies in the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping’s economic thinking. Facing the extremely complicated domestic and international economic situation, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core makes scientific judgments on the economic situation, makes correct decisions on economic work, makes timely adjustments to development thinking, and continuously deepens the understanding of the laws of economic development, and successfully manages them.

To do a good job in next year’s economic work, we must follow Xi Jinping’s economic thinking as a guide, analyze the situation, grasp the laws, clarify requirements, formulate policies, solve difficult problems, continuously improve the ability and level of leading economic work, and promote the steady progress of our country’s economy.

At present, we must see that my country’s economic development is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations. Under the impact of the epidemic in the century, the changes in the past century have accelerated and the external environment has become more complex, severe and uncertain. It is necessary to face up to difficulties and strengthen confidence. my country’s economy is resilient, and the fundamentals of long-term improvement will not change. No matter how the international situation changes, we must unswervingly do our own things, continue to strengthen our economic foundation, strengthen our capacity for scientific and technological innovation, adhere to multilateralism, take the initiative to standardize international economic and trade rules, and promote deep-level reforms and advances with high-level openness.

Grasp the law.The process of our party leading the sustained and healthy development of the economy is a process of continuous exploration, understanding, grasping, and application of economic laws through “practice-knowledge-re-practice-re-knowledge”. Since the beginning of this year, in the practice of responding to risks and challenges, our party has further accumulated an understanding of the law of doing economic work well. We must adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, calmly deal with major challenges, and move forward in unison. It is necessary to adhere to high-quality development. It is the party’s basic line to adhere to economic construction as the center. The whole party must concentrate on implementing it and promote the steady improvement of quality and reasonable growth of the economy. We must persist in seeking progress while maintaining stability, adjust policies and promote reforms to grasp the effectiveness of timeliness, and insist on standing first and then breaking through, and fighting steadily. We must strengthen overall coordination and adhere to the system concept. These “four musts” are a new understanding of the laws of my country’s economic development. Leading cadres at all levels must consciously and profoundly grasp them and use them to guide economic work in earnest.
Clear requirements.To do a good job in next year’s economic work, we must be guided by Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 19th Plenary Session of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, carry forward the great party building spirit, and adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability.

Make policies.Seeking progress while maintaining stability is the general tone of economic work, an important principle of our party’s governance of the country, and a methodology for doing economic work well. The 20th National Congress of the Party will be held next year. This is a major event in the political life of the Party and the country. It is necessary to maintain a stable and healthy economic environment, a social environment in the country and the people, and a clean political environment. Next year’s economic work must take the lead in stabilizing and seeking progress while maintaining stability. All regions and departments must shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the macro economy, and all parties must actively introduce policies that are conducive to economic stability, and policy efforts should be appropriately advanced. Macroeconomic policies must be stable and effective, proactive fiscal policies must improve efficiency, and pay more attention to precision and sustainability; prudent monetary policies must be flexible and appropriate, and maintain reasonable and sufficient liquidity; implement strategies to expand domestic demand and strengthen endogenous motivation for development. Micro-policies should continue to stimulate the vitality of market players, boost market players’ confidence, ensure fair competition with fair supervision, and strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights. Structural policies should focus on smoothing the circulation of the national economy, deepen supply-side structural reforms, enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, and implement urban policies to promote a virtuous circle and healthy development of the real estate industry. Science and technology policies must be implemented in a solid manner, implement a three-year action plan for the reform of the science and technology system, formulate and implement a ten-year plan for basic research, strengthen national strategic science and technology strength, strengthen the dominant position of enterprise innovation, improve and optimize the science and technology innovation ecosystem, and continue to carry out international science and technology cooperation.

These policy deployments highlight the word “stable”, which organically integrates stable growth, structural adjustments, and reforms, and plays a key role in coping with the triple pressure, pushing the economy forward steadily, and maintaining the overall stability of the society.
Crack the puzzle.Entering a new stage of development, my country’s development internal and external environment has undergone profound changes, and it is facing many new major theoretical and practical problems, which require correct understanding and grasping. At this Central Economic Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave a profound explanation from five aspects. The first is to correctly understand and grasp the strategic goals and practical approaches to achieve common prosperity. It is necessary to continuously liberate and develop social productive forces, continuously create and accumulate social wealth, and prevent polarization. Achieving the goal of common prosperity is a long-term historical process, and we must steadily move towards this goal. The second is to correctly understand and grasp the characteristics and behavioral laws of capital. In the socialist market economy, there will inevitably be various forms of capital. Capital must play its positive role as a production factor, while effectively controlling its negative role, and setting “traffic lights” for capital. We must uphold and improve the basic socialist economic system and adhere to the “two unshakable.” The third is to correctly understand and grasp the supply of primary products. We must persist in giving priority to conservation, implement a comprehensive conservation strategy, and enhance domestic resource production guarantee capabilities. The fourth is to correctly understand and grasp the prevention and resolution of major risks. We must continue to follow the principles of stabilizing the overall situation, coordinating overall planning, implementing classified policies, and accurately disposing of bombs, and do a good job of handling risks. The fifth is to correctly understand and grasp the carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is an inherent requirement for promoting high-quality development. It must be unswervingly promoted, but it is impossible to accomplish it in one fell swoop. It is necessary to adhere to the principles of national overall planning, saving priority, two-wheel drive, smooth flow inside and outside, and risk prevention. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition is based on the current and long-term perspective. It has both profound ideological and theoretical and vivid practical relevance. It is of great guiding significance for unifying thinking, building consensus, stabilizing expectations, and pioneering progress. The economic and social development problems in the development stage provide a powerful ideological arm.
Strengthen leadership.The party’s centralized and unified leadership over economic work is the fundamental guarantee for the sustained and healthy development of the socialist economy. Whether the world’s second largest economy can be managed well, and whether the economy and society can maintain sustained and healthy development depends fundamentally on whether the party’s leadership role in economic and social development is well performed. To do a good job of next year’s economic work, we must strengthen and improve the party’s leadership over economic work. Party committees and governments at all levels, and leading cadres at all levels should consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and reflect the improvement of political judgment, political understanding, and political execution in the actual implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies. In action, it is reflected in the actual actions to promote high-quality development, and it is reflected in the actual actions of sharing worries for the party, fulfilling its responsibilities for the country, and contributing to the people. Leading economic work must respect objective reality and the needs of the masses, and must have systematic thinking and scientific planning. Leading cadres must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping’s economic thinking, continuously improve the ability and level of leading economic work, put the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments in place with a more active and persevering spirit, and welcome the party’s 20th victory with outstanding results.
