Provincial example.
How will the demonstration zone explore the way for common prosperity?
In this process, what challenges need to be paid attention to?
Common prosperity is the common expectation of the Chinese people.
As one of the long-term goals of basically achieving socialist modernization in 2035, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that the common prosperity of all people will make more obvious and substantial progress.
It should be noted that at present, the problem of China's unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent, the gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is large, the quality of development and benefits need to be improved, the quality of life of residents still needs to be improved, and the construction of spiritual and ecological civilization is still very large. To enhance the space, the basis and conditions for promoting common prosperity vary from region to region.
Jia Ruoxiang, director of the Comprehensive Research Office of the Institute of Land Development and Regional Economics of the National Development and Reform Commission, told a reporter from China News Agency that the construction of a demonstration zone for common prosperity is conducive to the further liberation and development of productivity in the new era, demonstrating the advantages of advanced socialist productivity and making it bigger. Social wealth cake: By focusing on solving regional, urban-rural, and income gap issues, highlight the advantages of socialist advanced production relations and divide the social wealth cake.
What should the ideal common prosperity in the demonstration zone look like?
"Common prosperity is not the prosperity of some people, let alone the prosperity of a few people. It is the prosperity of all people, and the prosperity of everyone in society," said Li Shi, Dean of the Institute of Sharing and Development, Zhejiang University, in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency. , But it cannot be understood as equal or equal wealth, let alone an equal distribution of social wealth.
Li Shi believes that it is a misunderstanding that some people understand common prosperity as the same degree of wealth for everyone.
Historical experience shows that the pursuit of equal wealth often leads to equal poverty.
In the process of moving towards common prosperity, remember to avoid unrealistic fantasy, proceed from reality and national conditions, not rush for success, and do a solid job of advancing.
Common prosperity is not just an economic issue.
The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission mentioned that the ultimate goal of common prosperity is not simply material possession, but the full enjoyment and better satisfaction of people including the two levels of material and spirit, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, etc. It is the comprehensiveness of man. Development, material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization are comprehensively improved.
Promoting the common prosperity of all people is an arduous and long-term task, and it is also a realistic task. It is difficult to be fully implemented in a short time. It is urgent to select some regions with relatively sufficient conditions to try and demonstrate first.
Talking about how to build a demonstration zone in Zhejiang, Jia Ruoxiang believes that it is necessary to focus on the "two highs and three balances".
Among them, the "two highs" are to focus on improving the quality and efficiency of development, consolidate the material foundation for common prosperity, and enlarge the social wealth cake; build a high-quality life, deepen the reform of the income distribution system, increase the income of urban and rural residents through multiple channels, and make the people's pockets more money stand up.
The "Three Equilibriums" focus on the regional, urban and rural areas, and relatively balanced incomes.
Jia Ruoxiang said that it is necessary to promote the high-quality sharing of basic common services between urban and rural areas, deepen the coordinated regional development strategy, promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, and continuously narrow the development gap between urban and rural areas. Income groups, create an "olive-shaped" social structure.
The above content is reflected in the "Opinions".
Officially, the strategic positioning of the demonstration area is to be a pioneer area for high-quality development and high-quality life, a leading area for coordinated development of urban and rural areas, a pilot area for reforming the income distribution system, and an exhibition area for civilized, harmonious and beautiful homes.
At the same time, the opinions are closely linked to the promotion of common prosperity and the all-round development of people, clarifying various measures.
Realizing common prosperity is destined to be no simple matter.
The aforementioned person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission mentioned that when planning and deploying the construction of a demonstration zone, it is necessary to proceed from a problem-oriented approach and aim at the weakest link that hinders the realization of common prosperity.
Li Shi reminded us to clearly recognize the starting point and the challenges China faces in achieving common prosperity.
For example, the level of economic development is still at the global medium level, and there is still a large gap relative to developed countries; the income gap of residents is still large; although there has been some progress in the equalization of basic public services, the service level is low.
"Achieving common prosperity is a great initiative in the history of mankind, and it will inevitably encounter various problems and challenges." Li Shi said that solving these problems not only depends on determination and courage, but also requires the formation of social consensus, and more requires wisdom and rational attitude. , In the continuous exploration to find the effective way to achieve common prosperity.
