  Author Zhang Ziyang Huang Yuqin Guo Chaokai

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a communiqué on the 29th.

In this 6,000-word communiqué, the main goals of economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and the long-term goals for 2035 are clearly presented.

Looking at the two target task books, they not only made precise planning for the realization of short-term goals, but also clarified the path and rhythm of achieving medium- and long-term goals.

  Observing this bulletin, two keywords are quite eye-catching: one is "change" and the other is "high quality".

Through these two keywords, the outline of a "new big step" in China is clearly visible.

  ——Respond to future changes with "changes"

  First of all, the outside world has noticed the latest changes in the formulation of the "four comprehensives" in the communiqué-coordinated and promoted the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, comprehensively deepened reforms, comprehensively governed the country by law, and comprehensively governed the party strictly.

  From "building a well-off society in an all-round way" in the past to "building a modern socialist country in an all-round way", Ma Liang, a researcher at the National Development and Strategy Research Institute of Renmin University of China, believes that this is a higher requirement for the future.

  "In the next five and fifteen years, on the basis of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we will discuss how to build a modern socialist country, which reflects the transformation of goals. The core is what a modern country should look like and how to do it. Describing her form and how to achieve this goal, this new formulation is very worthy of attention." Ma Liang analyzed.

  A combing of the communiqué can also reveal that in the face of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century, especially based on the current special era background and the complex external environment, how to accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, and actively seek changes in the future , All are engraved in the ruling party’s layout for the country’s future.

  Gao Fei, deputy dean of the China Foreign Affairs University, believes that, first of all, it is very important to have an accurate judgment on the general trend of international development for "sense change".

Only by having a clear understanding of the international trend can we not be confused by chaos.

  Secondly, in response to the international trend, we must also respond in time.

Gao Fei said, for example, the current new crown pneumonia epidemic is one of the global challenges.

Whether or not this challenge can be effectively dealt with is related to the stability and long-term development of China's economic and social development, and it is an important factor that affects whether the goal can be achieved in the future.

  Third, take the initiative to seek change.

Gao Fei believes that whether we can play first moves and make good predictions is related to whether we can take the initiative in a complex environment. Actively seeking change will make us more comfortable in solving problems.

 ——Modernization under "high quality" standards

  The interviewed scholars noticed that "high quality" was mentioned many times in the plenary communiqué.

  For China, which has shifted to the stage of high-quality development, the future "high-quality" will cover a wider range of areas: including high-quality employment, high-quality supply leadership, high-quality education, and the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" high-quality development Wait.

  According to Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), "high quality" is connected with modernization.

In other words, China will basically realize socialist modernization in 2035, and this modernization should be a high-quality modernization.

As for how to realize this modernization, the outside world has noticed that the communiqué puts "innovation" in an extremely important position.

On the basis of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "Innovation must be placed at the core of the overall situation of the country's development."

  Zhu Lijia believes that at present, China must not only build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize its first centenary goal, but also take advantage of the momentum to embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and march toward the second centenary goal.

"In this journey, high-quality development and innovation are complementary and indispensable."

  In the view of Zhu Lijia, China's socialist road and China's reform and opening up step by step are all doing things that no one has done before.

"If the predecessors have not done it, we have to innovate and achieve development goals through innovation. From the communique, we can see that our goal is very clear, that is, high-quality modernization."

  Gao Fei believes that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have been emphasizing high-quality development. In fact, we want to change the momentum of development and the mode of growth.

One of the most promising ways is to tap the momentum of growth through innovation and enhance its position in the industrial chain and value chain.

If China wants to achieve the five-in-one comprehensive development, relying solely on extensive production is no longer suitable for long-term development. Therefore, it must innovate in technology to ensure China's new advantages in world competition.

  "On the other hand, the current international situation makes China realize that the biggest shortcoming is in technology. Innovation is the key to solving the problem. It not only guarantees the transformation and upgrading of domestic industries, but also maintains a sustainable long-term competitive advantage in the world. At the same time, innovation and high-quality development are also closely related. Innovation-driven is the most obvious way of high-quality development and an effective way to achieve high-quality modernization.” Gao Fei said.
