Keep a Firm Grip on the Construction of Chinese - Style Modernization General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Comprehensively advancing the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation through Chinese - style modernization is the central task of the Party and the country in the new era and new journey, and the most important politics in the new era." This scientific conclusion profoundly clarifies the strategic position and great significance of Chinese - style modernization, and provides a fundamental follow and scientific guidance for comprehensively promoting the construction of Chinese - style modernization. We must thoroughly study and understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on Chinese - style modernization, firmly grasp the central task of the Party and the country in the new era and new journey, keep a firm grip on the construction of Chinese - style modernization, overcome difficulties, forge ahead with courage, and promote the construction of Chinese - style modernization to continuously achieve new achievements and reach new levels. Chinese - Style Modernization is the Only Correct Path for Building a Strong Country and National Rejuvenation In order to build China into a powerful socialist modern country, generations of Chinese Communists have led the people in continuous struggle and unswerving efforts for more than a hundred years, and have made brilliant achievements that go down in history. On the basis of long - term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening - up, and through the innovation and breakthroughs in theory and practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese - style modernization. Chinese - style modernization follows the "three - step" strategic plan, continues to advance and expand in the new period of reform and opening - up, and further develops, innovates and sublimates in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics: China solved the problem of food and clothing in the late 1980s, the people's life generally reached a well - off level at the beginning of the 21st century, and then continued to strive for the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects; since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have launched and won the battle against poverty, historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, built a moderately prosperous society in all respects benefiting more than one billion people, achieved the first centenary goal, and embarked on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. We have completed the industrialization process that took developed Western countries hundreds of years in just a few decades, creating two miracles: rapid economic development and long - term social stability. Practice has proved that Chinese - style modernization is feasible and stable. It is a modernization path rooted in China's land, in line with China's reality, reflecting the will of the Chinese people, and adapting to the requirements of the times. It is the only correct path for building a strong country and national rejuvenation. The current and future period is a critical period for comprehensively advancing the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation through Chinese - style modernization. Looking around the world, the unprecedented changes in the world in a century are accelerating, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. Traditional security issues and non - traditional security issues are intertwined, local conflicts occur one after another, global challenges emerge in an endless stream, unilateralism, protectionism and anti - globalization are making waves, and the threats of food crisis, energy crisis, large - scale infectious diseases, natural disasters, extremism and terrorism are on the rise, with various contradictions, crises and risks overlapping. In particular, hegemonic, domineering and bullying acts such as using strength to bully the weak, practicing trickery to seize gains, and engaging in zero - sum games have caused serious harm. Some countries use political and economic power to coerce other countries into accepting harsh treaties and arbitrarily tear up free trade agreements signed with other countries, destroying the long - term stable and effective multilateral international order. Human society is facing unprecedented challenges. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Maintaining concentration, enhancing confidence, and focusing on doing our own things well are the key to coping with various risks and challenges." He also profoundly pointed out: "When have there been no difficulties? We get through them one by one, year after year, and get better year by year. This is how the Chinese nation has been for more than 5,000 years. The key to climbing slopes and crossing ridges is to boost confidence." For a large - sized and developing country like China, unstable, uncertain and unsafe factors in the external environment have always existed more or less, to a greater or lesser extent, but in the final analysis, they are external causes and do not play a decisive role. Since the reform and opening - up, especially since the new era, China has encountered many external risk shocks, but in the end, it has been able to turn dangers into safety. This is because we have focused on doing our own things well, continuously enhanced our economic, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength, and firmly grasped the destiny of national development and progress in our own hands. In today's world where unstable, uncertain and unsafe factors have significantly increased, to seek development, we must especially adhere to the principle that development is the foundation and key to solving all problems in China. No matter what kind of risks and challenges we encounter, no matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles we face, we must boost our confidence in overcoming difficulties, respond to various uncertainties with the certainty of high - quality development, and unswervingly move forward step by step towards the goal of building a powerful modern socialist country in an all - round way. Focus on the Central Work to Continuously Strengthen, Optimize and Expand the Chinese Economy Chinese - style modernization is a new form of human civilization featuring the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization. To promote Chinese - style modernization, we must adhere to the "five - in - one" overall layout, comprehensively promote economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization construction, and promote the coordination of all aspects and links of modernization construction. Among them, economic construction is the foundation and the basis for the construction and work in other aspects. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The Party exercises overall leadership and coordinates all parties. Economic work is the central work, and the Party's leadership must of course be fully reflected in the central work. If we grasp the central work, which is the key link, other work can be carried out better." He emphasized: "Taking economic construction as the center is the key to rejuvenating the country, and development is still the key to solving all problems in China. Only by promoting sustained and healthy economic development can we lay a material foundation for national prosperity and strength, people's happiness and well - being, and social harmony and stability." Since the reform and opening - up, China has adhered to taking economic construction as the center, kept in mind that development is the last word, and built a complete industrial system, a huge industrial cluster and an industrial chain system. China's manufacturing industry has long maintained the world's largest overall scale and material production capacity, and its total economic output has ranked second in the world. Since the new era, China's gross domestic product has jumped from more than 50 trillion yuan in 2012 to more than 130 trillion yuan in 2024, contributing about 30% to global economic growth; per capita GDP has increased from 6,300 US dollars to more than 13,000 US dollars, forming the world's largest middle - income group of more than 400 million people; and the world's largest education system, social security system and medical and health system have been built; and so on. The rapid and significant improvement of China's comprehensive national strength is the fundamental reason why the Chinese nation is getting closer to the center of the world stage. Now, China is still in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come, and it is still the largest developing country in the world. To solve the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development in China and better meet the people's needs for a better life, we still need to continuously strengthen, optimize and expand the Chinese economy, and grasp development, which is the primary task of the Party in governing and rejuvenating the country. This is the most reliable foundation for us to overcome various risks and challenges and build a powerful modern socialist country in an all - round way. Earnestly Grasp the Primary Task of High - Quality Development High - quality development is the theme of China's economic and social development at present and even for a longer period, and it is the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "High - quality development is development that can well meet the people's growing needs for a better life, development that embodies the new development concept, and development in which innovation becomes the primary driving force, coordination becomes an inherent feature, green becomes a common form, opening up becomes the only way, and sharing becomes the fundamental goal." This is a basic positioning of the scientific connotation of high - quality development, indicating that high - quality development is an integral whole in which innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development are interrelated, mutually promoting, and have internal connection and unity. To promote high - quality development, we must fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, promote changes in the quality, efficiency and driving force of economic development, and accelerate the formation of a sustainable path to achieve high - quality development. High - quality development is a dialectical unity of effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity. "Quality" usually refers to the structure and efficiency of economic development, and "quantity" usually refers to the scale and speed of economic development. Without structural optimization and efficiency improvement, economic development will return to the extensive old path of expanding the scale, launching projects and relying on investment - driven, and it will be difficult to achieve the goal of comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. Conversely, sustainable and relatively rapid growth is an inherent requirement of high - quality development. Without a certain growth rate, the high quality of economic development will be difficult to reflect, and even the process of Chinese - style modernization will be seriously impacted. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035, one of the requirements of which is "a significant leap in economic, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength, per capita GDP reaching a new level, and reaching the level of moderately developed countries". To achieve such a goal, a certain growth rate is indispensable. We should make good use of China's advantages such as its huge economic aggregate, super - large market capacity and strong supporting capacity, and continue to promote effective improvement in the quality and reasonable growth in the quantity of the economy. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Developing new productive forces is an inherent requirement and an important focus for promoting high - quality development. We must continue to do a good job in innovation and promote the accelerated development of new productive forces." New productive forces are spawned by revolutionary breakthroughs in technology, innovative allocation of production factors, and in - depth transformation and upgrading of industries. They have the basic connotation of a leap in workers, means of labor, objects of labor and their optimal combination, and are marked by a significant improvement in total factor productivity. Their characteristic is innovation, the key is high quality, and their essence is advanced productive forces. We will work to improve mechanisms for developing new productive forces in light of local conditions, foster new industries, new business models, and new growth drivers, develop productive forces characterized by high technology, high efficiency, and high quality, strengthen institutional supply for new fields and new tracks, establish a mechanism for increasing investment in future industries, use national standards to guide the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries, and move faster to form production relations that are more compatible with new productive forces, encouraging all factors of production relations to gather toward developing new productive forces.
