Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 29th, by wire Topic: The people are supreme and life is supreme-China’s way of looking at the dialectical relationship between precise handling of epidemic prevention and control and economic development
Xinhua News Agency reporter
This is an examination question before all countries in the world——
In the face of the raging new crown pneumonia epidemic, epidemic prevention and control and economic development are both opposed and need to be unified. How to dialectically handle the relationship between the two will test the wisdom and governance level of various countries.
For more than a year, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has led more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, insisting that the people are supreme and life is supreme, coordinate normalized precision prevention and control and emergency response, and coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development throughout the world. “Be the first to control the epidemic”, “take the lead to resume work and resume production”, “take the lead in realizing economic growth from negative to positive”, achieved historic victory in all-out poverty alleviation and building a well-off society in all respects, and achieved a steady start to the “14th Five-Year Plan”…

Epidemic prevention is about life, and development is about livelihood. In our research, we found that China is coordinating epidemic prevention and economic development, accurately grasping the dialectical relationship between prevention and release, righteousness and profit, crisis and opportunity, inside and outside, near and far, and has found a successful way to deal with the epidemic.
(1) Prevention and release-only by being able to prevent and letting go, China’s economy and society are gradually returning to normal in the precise prevention and control
Under the epidemic situation, prevention and release are placed on both ends of the balance, testing great wisdom.
Shanghai, No. 1 Guangzhong Road.
On February 10, 2020, after pressing the “pause button” for 10 days during the extended Spring Festival holiday, the machine rotating sound reappeared in the workshop of Heraeus Industrial Technology Materials Co., Ltd.
Here, Chinese factories resumed production the fastest among the global branches; on the other hand, due to the impact of the epidemic, many orders from overseas competitors turned to Heraeus.
In 2020, sales in China bucked the trend and double-digit growth, which deeply touched Ai Zhouping, the president of the German company’s Greater China region: This is due to the fact that China took the lead in controlling the epidemic and taking the lead in economic recovery. “Our investment confidence is stronger.”
Epidemic prevention and control is a strong guarantee for economic construction, and if prevention and control are in place, a safe development environment can be created. Between prevention and release, there is a dialectic of “rule of China”.
Only when prevention is in place can you let go——
On the morning of August 26, 2021, Nanjing Lukou Airport, which has been suspended for more than one month, restarted passenger flights. Behind the dynamic and static switching of the airport, the number of new local cases in Nanjing went from 0 to 235, and returned to 0 again.
“It would be better to defend against nine airs, and never fail to prevent it.” In the face of the new crown mutant strain Delta, facing the most complex and severe epidemic challenge so far this year, China took 6 weeks to hand over the prevention of this round of summer epidemic. Controlled answer sheet: From 12 o’clock on August 29, high-risk areas across the country will be cleared!
“China may become the first country in the world to control the epidemic caused by the delta mutant virus strain.” Even the American media CNN, which has always viewed China’s anti-epidemic with a harsh eye, gave positive comments.
Only by preventing it can the impact of the epidemic be minimized; only by allowing it to develop better, so that the lives of more than 1.4 billion people can return to normal as soon as possible, and the people will be more confident and determined to fight the epidemic.
On January 23, 2020, Wuhan decisively “closed the city.”
“It takes great political courage to make this decision, but it must be taken when it is time to take action, otherwise it will continue to be cut off and suffer the chaos.” General Secretary Xi Jinping said loudly.
It is precisely because of rigorous scientific prevention and control that China has initially contained the spread of the epidemic for more than a month, controlled the daily new cases in the local area within single digits in about 2 months, and won the defense war in Wuhan and the defense war in Hubei in about 3 months. Since then, sporadic cases or clusters of epidemics have only appeared in some areas in China, which can be quickly controlled, while the global epidemic is still spreading and fluctuating…
It is precisely because of strict scientific prevention and control that China’s economic and social development is moving forward steadily. On February 23, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the meeting to coordinate the promotion of the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the deployment of economic and social development; the central government has taken various measures to solidly promote the “six stability” and “six guarantees”, and the precise resumption of work and production in different regions and levels , To protect the basic people’s livelihood…
It is precisely because of strict scientific prevention and control, -6.8%, 3.2%, 4.9%, 6.5%-China’s economy improved quarter by quarter last year, with an annual growth rate of 2.3%. In the first half of this year, the growth rate was 12.7%, and the two-year average growth rate was 5.3%.
Only when the prevention is accurate can it be put safely——
Between prevention and release, precise policy is critical.
At 6:20 on August 17, 2021, at Wanjiahu Road in Wuhan, Master Zeng stopped the commuter line on time. Twenty buses run in the morning and evening every day to transport workers from Dongfeng Honda factory “point-to-point”.
Half a month before, Zhuankou Street in Wuhan Economic Development Zone was identified as a medium-risk area. What about production? The enterprises in the closed zone put forward demands.
“The factory and the dormitory are in the enclosed area, and the dedicated line for commuting employees from the dormitory to the factory is tailored!” The local government’s “heart-warming measures” have enabled more than 4,000 enterprises in the district to gradually resume production.
Neither can a “one size fits all” hinder the restoration of economic and social order, nor can it improperly relax prevention and control and lead to abandonment of all previous efforts. For more than a year, the epidemic prevention measures of “scientific prevention and precise policy implementation” have been repeatedly proven effective:
Once a local epidemic occurs, immediately shift from normalized prevention and control to emergency response, and quickly organize nucleic acid testing. After confirming the implementation of the nucleic acid test for all employees, ensure that those with less than 5 million testers will complete the test within 2 days, and those with more than 5 million testers within 3 days;
Accurately lock the “environmental circle”. In addition to delimiting high-risk and medium-risk areas, four “circles” are also set up, including closed areas, enclosed areas, areas surrounding risk areas, and other areas. Each “circle” has its own prevention and control rules. , The smallest control unit is accurate to a residential building in a community to minimize the impact of the epidemic;
In response to the situation at different stages, the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism has continuously updated the guidelines for the public and key occupational groups to scientifically standardize the wearing of masks, and issued guidelines on prevention and control measures for the resumption of work and production of enterprises and institutions, and prevention and control plans for new coronavirus pneumonia, etc., to help localities with precision Effective scientific prevention and control of the epidemic.
Once the number of passengers with a positive nucleic acid test “crosses the boundary”, flight operations will be restricted; if there are no positive passengers for three consecutive weeks, they can apply for additional flight awards. Since June 2020, China has “fused” more than 300 international passenger flights, but it still operates more than 230 international passenger flights and about 3,700 international cargo flights every week.
Green, yellow, and red health codes have more accurate warnings; limited, appointment, and peak shifts make travel guidelines more accurate and effective; in September, hospitals in Jiangsu and other places have resumed outpatient clinics after the appointment system has been implemented; in many places, inter-provincial vacations and tourism have been resumed; Primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in most parts of the country start school on time…
“To seek the advantages and avoid the disadvantages while weighing the advantages and disadvantages, and to make the most advantageous strategic choice.” The words of General Secretary Xi Jinping have become an important guide for grasping prevention and scaling up the scale.
Someone pointed out that the cost of China’s defense control is too great. Let’s take a look at a few sets of data:
Fiscal expansion is one of the observation dimensions for measuring a country’s investment in fighting the epidemic.
In 2020, China’s deficit will increase by 1 trillion yuan over the previous year, with the issuance of anti-epidemic special treasury bonds of 1 trillion yuan, the increase of local government special bonds by 1.6 trillion yuan, and the new tax cuts and fee reductions by more than 2.6 trillion yuan. Intensity of the utilization of such carry-over and deposit funds…
Looking at the world, according to the “Financial Monitoring Report” released by the International Monetary Fund in April this year, China’s general fiscal balance of revenue and expenditure accounted for 11.4% of GDP in 2020, which is lower than 15.8% in the United States, 13.4% in the United Kingdom, and 12.6% in Japan. And the average level of advanced economies is 13.3%. At the same time, compared with China’s deficit rate from 2.8% to 3.6% or more, the deficit rate of advanced economies rose from 2.9% to 11.7%.
What is the result of this comparison of financial investment?
So far, the cumulative number of new coronary pneumonia diagnosed in China has exceeded 120,000 and more than 5,600 people have died; the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 43 million, with more than 690,000 deaths.
In 2020, China is the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth; in the first half of 2021, based on the two-year average real GDP growth rate, China’s GDP growth rate is 5.3%, and the United States is less than 1%.
The data is sufficient to show that, compared with major economies, China has achieved more significant results at a lower cost.
“How can human life be measured by money? Chinese-style anti-epidemic is more humane and more economical,” said Li Ling, a professor at the National Development Research Institute of Peking University.
International investors who settle their “accounts” are using investments to “vote.”
The latest report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development shows that the scale of foreign direct investment flowing into Europe and North America last year shrank by 80% and 40%, respectively, while the scale of foreign direct investment into China increased by 6%. OECD estimates that China surpassed the United States to become the world‘s largest investment destination last year.
“To measure the relationship between the cost and benefits of the epidemic, you must calculate the general ledger.” Liu Yuanchun, vice president of Renmin University of China, said that precise and strict prevention of the epidemic in exchange for people’s life safety, people’s free travel, and resumption of work and production are the envy of Western society; Partial containment measures are exchanged for the security of the entire country and the world. “The fight against the epidemic has also reaped the confidence of all people in China and the confidence of the world in China. This is the greatest benefit!”
On September 10 this year, a local epidemic occurred in Fujian, and the National Health Commission immediately sent a working group to the frontline to guide the handling of the epidemic. On September 21, the National Health Commission sent a working group to Harbin to guide the work of dealing with the epidemic. Entering a state of emergency, rapid nucleic acid testing, carrying out flow traceability, and implementing precise control… the string of epidemic prevention and control cannot be relaxed.
The seemingly irreconcilable contradictions of focusing on epidemic prevention and promoting development have gradually found a balance point to solve the problem in the overall planning and coordinated promotion of China.
(2) Righteousness and benefit-like a mirror, reflecting the ruling essence of the Chinese Communist Party that the people are supreme and life is supreme
In the prevention and control of the epidemic, different countries have different choices for handling the relationship between justice and interest. It is like a mirror, showing the ruling nature of different countries and different parties.
“The outbreak in the United States has resumed, and hospital morgues in many places are saturated.” Who would have thought that the United States, which has the most abundant medical resources and medical care capabilities in the world, would become the country with the largest number of confirmed cases and deaths in the world.
Some experts pointedly pointed out that the policy swings between the pursuit of short-term economic benefits and the maintenance of public health security by some Western governments are important reasons that make it difficult for them to successfully fight the epidemic.
Righteousness before profit and China’s choice in the face of the pandemic demonstrates the unchanging original aspirations of the Chinese Communist Party that the people are supreme and life is supreme——
“Thank you for taking care of me like your loved ones!” On May 12 this year, on Nurse’s Day, accompanied by his family, 88-year-old Qu Wanfang made a special trip to Shiyan Taihe Hospital to thank the medical staff.
In February last year, Qu Wanfang was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. He was old and had various underlying diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and coronary heart disease. Qu Wanfang said that the treatment process was very difficult. The hospital issued six critical illness notices. For a time, he and his family lost confidence.
9 medical staff formed a special class, combined Chinese and Western medicine, psychological counseling, and nutritional support. For 47 days and nights, the medical staff tried their best to pull him back from the ghost gate time and time again. “As long as it can save lives, everything that can be used is used,” said Roger, the director of Taihe Hospital.
“What is the supremacy of the people? So many people are turning around a patient, which really shows that at all costs.”
On the afternoon of May 22 last year, when General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation at the Third Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress, he specifically talked about the story of Shiyan.
In Hubei, more than 3,600 elderly patients with new coronary pneumonia over 80 years old like Qu Wanfang have been cured, of which the oldest is 108 years old.
In the Guanggu District of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, an elderly patient who is about to be discharged pays tribute to medical staff (photographed on March 14, 2020). Issued by Xinhua News Agency (Photo by Zhao Jiaqing)
23,000 yuan is the per capita treatment cost for China to treat patients with new coronary pneumonia, of which the per capita treatment cost for severely ill patients exceeds 150,000 yuan. As of the end of June this year, the total medical expenses of inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19 nationwide have settled 2.837 billion yuan, and the burden of medical insurance is 1.631 billion yuan. At present, the mainland has accumulated more than 2.2 billion doses of free vaccination…
When some Western countries chose to remove ventilators for people over 65 in the face of treatment pressure, and when Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick declared that he agreed to “risk the restart of the American economy” at the cost of the lives of the elderly, China did not hesitate to do anything. Protect life.
“Regardless of cost, everything makes way for life. This is a manifestation of Chinese traditional culture and people-oriented thinking. It also demonstrates the people-centered ruling philosophy of the Communist Party of China.” said Wang Wen, executive dean of the Chongyang Institute of Finance at Renmin University of China.
With righteousness and interest, and adhering to the correct concept of righteousness and benefit, the Communist Party of China has gathered the strength of hundreds of millions of people and handed in a high-scoring answer sheet for overall planning and development of epidemic prevention and development——
What is righteousness? Righteousness reflects one of our ideas, the idea of a communist and a socialist country.
Where there is life, there is hope.
The righteousness of the Chinese Communist Party is to sacrifice temporary and partial economic benefits for the lives of the people.
Wuhan, with a population of tens of millions of people, pressed the “pause button.” In the first quarter of last year, Wuhan’s GDP fell by 40.5% year-on-year. According to estimates, the resumption of work after the Spring Festival was delayed by one day, and the national GDP fell by about 150 billion yuan.
Modeling analysis by 15 international research institutions showed that the lockdown of Wuhan and local emergency response delayed the growth of the epidemic, reducing the number of infected people in China by more than 700,000!
The righteousness of the Chinese Communists is for the good of the people, and they would rather sacrifice their personal interests.
“I want to fight!” On January 18 last year, Academician Zhong Nanshan, who had just warned you not to go to Wuhan, resolutely boarded the train bound for Wuhan.
“When the country needs it, I must be at the forefront.” Tong Zhaohui, deputy dean of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, has been fighting the “epidemic” for more than 200 days. Wuhan, Shijiazhuang, Suifenhe, Ruili…the journey has exceeded 15,000 kilometers.
At the critical moment, more than 4.6 million grassroots party organizations charged ahead, more than 25,000 outstanding elements sworn into the party, and the bright red party flag was flying high in the front line of epidemic prevention and control.
The righteousness of the people’s supremacy has won the solidarity and unity of hundreds of millions of people.
Let the “Volunteer Red” guard the “Big Blue Whale”-On July 22 this year, a Nanjing city called on volunteers to join the “blocking war” initiative for epidemic prevention and control, which instantly swept the screen.
On August 10, in the Jiqingjiayuan Community, Nanyuan Street, Jianye District, Nanjing, volunteer Ma Weizhen reminded residents not to gather together.Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Ji Chunpeng
More than 100,000 volunteers fought on the front line of epidemic prevention in Nanjing, retired party members “one call a hundred responses”, and “post-85s” couples went to battle together in the community… moving stories were staged in the corners of the city.
Last year, more than 42,000 medical staff retrogradely assisted Hubei, with counterpart assistance from 19 provinces, and mobilized about 40,000 builders from across the country to fight Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals…
This year, wherever there is a local outbreak, there will be angels in white rushing to help. More than 10,000 medical staff from Jiangsu Province supported Nanjing and Yangzhou, and more than 2,300 medical staff from 15 provincial hospitals in Henan gathered in Zhengzhou overnight…

Across the country, grassroots cadres, public security police, community workers, courier brothers, sanitation workers, volunteers… They worked tirelessly to build a strong line of defense to protect lives; the general public shouldered their responsibilities, united and consciously participated in the fight against the epidemic… Each of the 1.4 billion Chinese people is a fighter against the epidemic.

British director Ke Wensi said with emotion after filming the Wuhan anti-epidemic documentary, “We have seen with our own eyes that China’s national strength in the fight against the epidemic is extremely powerful. When China wants to accomplish something, it can use the power of one country to implement it. It’s unbelievable by Western standards.”
China’s actions have proved that putting the interests of the people in the highest position, for the people and relying on the people, is the fundamental source of strength for the Communist Party of China to deal with risks and challenges.
(3) Crisis and opportunity-if two sides of a coin coexist, new opportunities can be cultivated in a crisis
The rare epidemic has plunged the global economy into the worst recession since the end of World War II, and China’s economy will inevitably be hit. How to deal with the crisis and changes, demonstrate the strategic determination and political wisdom of a political party.
“Efforts to nurture new opportunities in crises,” General Secretary Xi Jinping’s words express the thinking and practice of a major country on crises and opportunities.
Like the two sides of a coin, danger and opportunity always coexist.
Accurately recognize changes and clearly recognize the needs in the “danger”; actively seek changes and identify the “opportunities” for development. In the overall planning of epidemic prevention and development, China has continuously opened up a new situation of turning crises into opportunities.
The epidemic has exposed shortcomings in the fields of medical technology, public health emergency system, etc., and improve defense capabilities in making up for the shortcomings——
On July 21, Wuhan Tongji Aerospace City Hospital was completed after 289 days of construction. It can realize the “one-key switch” of the status of the hospital during the epidemic, and thousands of beds can be converted.
Laying down the “safety patch” for public health, the construction of peace-war hospitals is in full swing in Wuhan and across the country.
The project took only 2 months from initiation to clinical research; it only took 11 months to get the conditional listing approval. While the number of research and development of China’s new crown vaccine ranks among the world‘s top, the speed has also set a record.
Rapid detection reagents for new coronavirus in 30 minutes; 8 hours, the “manipulator” can achieve tens of thousands of nucleic acid samples…
In 2020, with the total investment in fixed assets of the whole society increasing by only 2.7% year-on-year, investment in the health and social work industries will increase by 26.8%.
From January to August 2021, the added value of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry will increase by 30% year-on-year, which is much higher than the average level of the manufacturing industry.
Reform and improve the disease prevention and control system, establish a major epidemic prevention, control and treatment system that combines peacetime and wartime, and improve the emergency material guarantee system… grasp the main contradictions, fight the proactive battle, and a big country will strengthen its health in the face of adversity.
The epidemic has highlighted the weak momentum of traditional industries. Leveraging on the rapid “replacement” of the new economy to accelerate structural upgrading——
The epidemic has impacted traditional industries, but it has also promoted the accelerated growth of the digital economy and emerging industries.

Taking this as an opportunity, China has made every effort to promote new infrastructure and built a total of 1.037 million 5G base stations; helping small, medium and micro enterprises go to the cloud, accelerating the modernization level of the industrial chain, and emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing, unmanned distribution, online consumption, and medical health show strong potential……

While the Chinese economy is steadily improving, the momentum of “advancing” towards high-quality development is also highlighted: in the first half of this year, domestic demand contributed more than 80% to economic growth; from January to August, national online retail sales increased year-on-year 19.7%, the added value of the high-tech manufacturing industry increased by an average of 13.1% in two years…
“Crisis in economic operations is sometimes a good opportunity for transformation and upgrading. Seize the rise of the new economy to open up new paths for optimization and upgrading, and foster new opportunities and create vitality in the’crisis’.” Ji Weidong, Dean of the Institute of Chinese Law and Society, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Say.
The epidemic brings social governance tests, and the experience of epidemic prevention is used to improve governance efficiency and help modernize governance capabilities——
On one side is the epidemic prevention and safety of more than 1.4 billion people, and on the other side is the work and life of more than 1.4 billion people. The huge pressure of epidemic prevention has forced social governance to find a new path.
The long grid is Zhu Lanhong’s “new career” in Yinrong Community, Lvyuan District, Changchun City. From the collection of epidemic prevention information, to sewer repairs, and community greening, the 348 residents in the “grid” ask her for anything.
If the level of social governance is to be improved, the focus must be shifted downward.
Grid length, building length, unit length… Under the pandemic, various localities took the initiative to innovate methods to woven the grassroots epidemic prevention network, which also opened up the “last mile” of community service.
“Hello, please show your health code!” During the epidemic prevention and control period, the national integrated government service platform launched the “Epidemic Prevention Health Code”, which has become an innovative measure for flat social governance.
Accelerate the sharing and mutual recognition of big data, and the problem of “information islands” that has restricted social governance for a long time has been improved; precise prevention and control, the “people, vehicles and road” collaborative platform provides practice for smart cities…practices in the fight against the “epidemic”, Help government departments make more scientific decisions, manage more efficiently, and prevent risks more predictably.
“It is necessary to accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, actively seek changes, and give full play to subjective initiative to create favorable conditions for turning crises into opportunities.” said Wang Yiming, vice chairman of the China International Economic Exchange Center. To fight, we must also fight a strategic active warfare of turning dangers into opportunities and turning dangers into opportunities. This is a practical enlightenment for China to deal with risks and challenges.
(4) Internal and external-Foreign defense import and opening up cooperation are both at the same time, contributing China’s power to the world in a complex situation
Coordinating epidemic prevention and development, how to unify internal and external, reflect the responsibility and tolerance of a country.
China’s anti-epidemic practice has proved that it is the greatest contribution to the international anti-epidemic that a major country with a population of more than 1.4 billion stays on the line of defense against the epidemic.
The global anti-epidemic practice has proved that it is precisely because China has taken the lead in controlling the epidemic and taking the lead in resuming work and production, it can guarantee the role of the world‘s largest supplier of anti-epidemic materials and promote global anti-epidemic cooperation and economic recovery.
The World Health Organization evaluates that China’s strong measures have not only controlled the spread of the epidemic within China, but also prevented the spread of the epidemic to other countries. They are not only protecting the Chinese people, but also protecting the people of the world.
With deeds and words, we are committed to eliminating the “immune gap” and contributing China’s power to the global fight against the epidemic——
In July this year, Li Hao, a Pakistani student studying for a doctorate degree at Southwest University, completed the new crown vaccination in Chongqing. In August, he was delighted to learn that his brother who was far from home had also been vaccinated with China’s aid.
“Our brothers live in different countries, but they are all protected by Chinese vaccines.” Li Hao said with emotion.

It is a solemn commitment made by China to make vaccines a global public product and to promote the availability and affordability of vaccines in developing countries.
At home, China has included the appropriate age group of foreigners in China into the scope of domestic vaccination to ensure the safety of foreigners working, living and studying in China; overseas, China launched the “Spring Seed Operation” to build a “firewall” for overseas compatriots , Prop up the “protective umbrella.”
On April 15, at a new crown vaccination site located in the Beijing Economic Development Zone, foreigners filled in personal information before receiving the new crown vaccine.Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Peng Ziyang
Provided more than 1.25 billion doses of vaccines to more than 100 countries and international organizations, provided anti-epidemic material assistance to more than 150 countries and 14 international organizations, and supplied more than 320 billion masks, more than 3.9 billion pieces of protective clothing, and 5.6 billion to more than 150 countries and 14 international organizations. Human testing reagents, on the basis of donating 100 million US dollars to the “New Crown Vaccine Implementation Plan”, another 100 million doses of vaccine will be donated to developing countries within the year…
The avenue is not alone, and love is boundless. As a responsible and responsible country, China’s fight against the epidemic is not to be independent, but to benefit the world. China’s development is not to be a flower, but to be full of spring.
“Every corner is uneasy, and the whole world is in danger.” Ruan Zongze, executive vice president of the China Institute of International Studies, said that in the eyes of Chinese people, the world is a whole with me in you and you in me. If the world is good, China can be good; China is good. , The world is better.
Unite and cooperate to advance international anti-epidemic cooperation, and jointly build a human health and health community——
“Unity and cooperation are the key to overcoming the epidemic” “Call for open, fair and non-discriminatory international vaccine cooperation” “Strengthen “Belt and Road” interconnection cooperation to ensure smooth cross-border transportation of vaccines“…
On June 23, a high-level meeting on international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region under the “Belt and Road” initiative was held. China and 28 countries jointly launched the “Belt and Road” vaccine partnership initiative at the meeting, advocating to strengthen cooperation in vaccine assistance, export, and joint production.

Since the outbreak, whether it is attending multilateral meetings such as the G20 Leaders’ Special Summit on New Crown Pneumonia, the Global Health Summit, the APEC Informal Leaders’ Meeting, or talking on the phone and exchanging letters with leaders of various countries and international organizations Under the leadership of the head of state diplomacy, China has built a global consensus on fighting the epidemic and promoted the construction of a human health community.
“At present, the epidemic is still raging around the world, and human society has been profoundly changed.” “We must defeat the epidemic and win this major struggle concerning the future and destiny of mankind.”… On September 21, President Xi Jinping presented at the 76th session of the United Nations. This was pointed out in the speech at the general debate of the General Assembly.
When certain countries are vying for vaccine resources, China is cooperating with developing countries to produce vaccines. So far, China has built or is building vaccine stock filling bases in 15 countries, building local vaccine production centers, and providing corresponding technical support to countries that have vaccine cooperation needs.
When certain countries used the issue of virus traceability to “shake the pot” to blame, China upholds the principles of science, openness, and transparency, and has twice invited WHO experts to China to carry out virus traceability research. The experts went wherever they wanted to go and met all the people they wanted to meet. The China-WHO Joint Research Report on the Traceability of the New Coronavirus drew conclusions and recommendations recognized by the international community and the scientific community.
“Only by stepping out of the small circle and zero-sum game thinking, and establishing the concept of big family and win-win cooperation, can we jointly take the road of peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit and win-win.” Ruan Zongze said.
Build a platform, enlarge the “cake” of common interests, and provide new opportunities for the world with China’s new development——
On September 7, the 2021 China International Service Trade Fair came to an end.
This is the second consecutive year that China has hosted the Service Trade Fair under the gloom of the epidemic, attracting more than 12,000 companies from 153 countries and regions to participate in online and offline exhibitions. The number of participating countries increased by 5 compared with the previous year, and the number of companies increased. More than 4,500 companies have achieved 1,672 results of various types, and the total number of results and transaction amount exceeded those of the previous session.

Beijing Service Trade Fair, Shanghai International Import Expo, Guangzhou Canton Fair, Hainan Consumer Fair… In the context of the massive cancellation and postponement of global conventions and exhibitions due to the epidemic, China has built a series of open cooperation platforms to share opportunities with the world and work together to create future.

Under the epidemic, China has not become “closed”, but more open. The “circle of friends” for cooperation is not getting smaller, but getting bigger.

“Internal and external are interlinked and complement each other.” Wang Wen said, from coordinating the overall domestic and international situation, to building a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other, and then to the import of foreign defense and open cooperation. The simultaneous anti-epidemic measures and a series of internal and external relations have shown China’s “great power style” of getting along with the world.
(5) Near and far-based on the present, focusing on the long-term, working towards the great goal of rejuvenation for a long time, and moving forward with determination
The changes in the past century and the epidemic of the century are intertwined and superimposed. The impact has exceeded expectations, and the original rhythm has been broken. Can the set development goals be achieved on schedule?
In coordinating epidemic prevention and development, we must also correctly handle the relationship between near and far.
From a historical and overall perspective, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the established goal and a “main answer”; the new crown pneumonia epidemic is an emergency in this historical process and an “examination question”.
Based on the current and long-term perspective, it is necessary to go all out to answer the “additional test questions”, but also to answer the “main answer questions” with firm confidence. China’s practice demonstrates determination and wisdom.
In response to the epidemic, China has unswervingly fulfilled its pledge to alleviate poverty——
On February 27, 2020, when the domestic epidemic was raging, a chartered plane full of migrant workers from impoverished areas flew from Guyuan, Ningxia to Fuzhou, Fujian.
“It took only two hours to get from winter to spring.”
Jin Susu, a poverty-stricken household in Kaicheng Village, Kaicheng Town, Yuanzhou District, Guyuan City, was nervous and excited for the first time flying by plane. “It is difficult to work in the epidemic. The government chartered a plane to send us a monthly salary of about 5,000 yuan, which relieved our urgent need.”
Under the epidemic, the transportation of agricultural materials was blocked, migrant workers were unable to leave, some poverty alleviation projects were suspended, and a batch of agricultural products were unsalable… Many poor areas worried that the poverty alleviation task would not be fulfilled.
“By 2020, all the rural poor under the current standards will be lifted out of poverty. This is a solemn promise made by the Party Central Committee to the people of the whole country. It must be fulfilled as scheduled, without any retreat or flexibility.”
On March 6, 2020, the largest symposium on poverty alleviation since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, and General Secretary Xi Jinping made an aggressive mobilization. At this time, there are only 300 days left to fulfill the goal.
While leading the epidemic prevention and control work, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about poverty alleviation.
The Central Committee No. 1 document once again made arrangements for poverty alleviation, and listed 52 uncapped poor counties and 1,113 poor villages…
A game of chess was coordinated across the country, and more than a dozen departments joined hands to open up the “last mile” of agricultural material distribution; chartered cars and planes from all over the country “point-to-point, one-stop” transportation of migrant workers; national mobilization to “make orders” for consumer poverty alleviation…
On November 23, 2020, all 832 impoverished counties in China took off their hats!
On February 25, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly announced at the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference that China has won an overall victory in the poverty alleviation battle.
On July 1, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that we have achieved the first centenary goal and built a well-off society on the land of China.
In response to the epidemic, China has always made overall plans and plans for long-term development——
March 2020, Zhongnanhai, Beijing.
At the critical moment of leading the people across the country to fight the epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the establishment of a drafting group for the “14th Five-Year Plan” proposal document. At this time, there are still 10 months before the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan and the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan.
In October 2020, after more than 200 days and nights of research, planning, drafting, and revision of the “14th Five-Year Plan” proposal, it was reviewed and approved at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party.
March 2021 is another spring. The Fourth Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress voted to pass the “14th Five-Year Plan”, and the party’s propositions were transformed into the will of the country through legal procedures and became the action plan for starting a new journey.
Liu Qiao, Dean of the Guanghua School of Management of Peking University, said that the preparation process of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan and the prevention and control of the epidemic is highly overlapping, and the enlightenment and thinking on the response to the epidemic have been written into the plan, which fully reflects our party’s “seeking for the moment”. Also “seeking for the long-term”, adhere to the strategic determination of the unity of problem-oriented and goal-oriented.
Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complicated external environment and repeated domestic epidemics caused by “Delta”, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has coordinated the overall domestic and international situations, coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and led China’s economy to stabilize and improve. , High-quality development has achieved new results, the overall social situation has remained stable, and the “14th Five-Year Plan” has achieved a steady start.
Maintain strategic determination, do well in the two major events of development and security, and firmly move towards a great revival——
Safety and development are like the two wings of a bird and the two wheels of a car. They cannot be neglected at any time.
“This requires us to adhere to the bottom line thinking, strengthen the awareness of danger, improve the ability to see the slightest knowledge, and use high-probability thinking to deal with small-probability events. We must be highly vigilant against the’black swan’ incident, but also guard against the’gray rhino’ incident, and firmly maintain safe development. The bottom line.” said Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China International Economic Exchange Center.
Based on the current situation, epidemic prevention and control is still the “big country”, and the hard-won epidemic prevention and control achievements will not be abandoned;
With a long-term perspective, the key is to concentrate on doing your own affairs well under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee. Major strategies and major projects will be fought one after another, and we will continue to work hard for a long time.
