China News Service, Beijing, October 30th (Huang Yuqin) If the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal of 2035 are compared to the blueprint of China's economic and social development, where will it be in the process of describing the future of China? "Ink" and where to "blank" has always been the focus of attention from the outside world.

On October 30, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a press conference in Beijing. Wang Xiaohui, deputy minister in charge of the daily work of the Central Propaganda Department, Jiang Jinquan, director of the Central Policy Research Office, Han Wenxiu, deputy director of the Office of the Central Finance and Economics Commission in charge of daily work, and the National Development and Reform Commission Party member and deputy director, Party Secretary and Director of the National Bureau of Statistics Ning Jizhe, and Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang introduced the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and answered reporters’ questions.

  On the day following the conclusion of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held its first press conference to introduce and interpret the plenary meeting through the Central Propaganda Department, the Central Policy Research Office, the Central Finance and Economics Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. Spirit, a concentrated explanation of the future of China's "doing" and "not doing".

  "The most important result of this plenum is the review and approval of the "Proposals of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Goals for 2035." The Central Propaganda Department is in charge of daily work. Vice Minister Wang Xiaohui said at the meeting.

  He pointed out that the "Proposals" deeply analyzed the international and domestic situations facing China's development, clearly looked forward to the long-term goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035, and clearly put forward the guidelines, main goals, and priorities for China's development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The tasks and major measures focused on answering the major questions of what kind of development and how to achieve development under the new situation.

  To some extent, the planning "Proposal" itself points out the direction where China will "make a difference" in the future.

At the same time, where China will “do something” has also attracted the attention of the outside world.

  From the perspective of domestic development, the construction of a new development pattern is regarded as having a guiding role in the planning "Proposal."

However, under the new development pattern, will the status of opening up to the outside world decline as a result?

At the press conference that day, Han Wenxiu, deputy director of the Office of the Central Committee of Finance and Economics in charge of daily work, gave a negative answer.

  "To build a new development pattern, it is necessary to deeply participate in the international cycle. This is the meaning of the question of building a new development pattern. It is necessary to expand opening to the outside world at a higher level, expand market access for foreign-funded enterprises, and make better use of domestic and international Two markets and two resources." Han Wenxiu said that building a new development pattern by no means means a decline in the status of opening up.

On the contrary, looking forward to the future, the scale of China's foreign trade imports and exports, the use of foreign capital, and foreign investment will continue to expand, and its international status will continue to rise. This is also an important feature of the economy of a large country.

  As for the field of scientific and technological innovation, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward "taking scientific and technological self-reliance as a strategic support for national development". Does this expression mean that China's future scientific and technological innovation will "close the door"?

In this regard, China’s Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang made it clear at the meeting that self-reliance and open cooperation are not an antagonistic relationship, but a dialectical unity.

"China's scientific and technological innovation has never been a closed innovation, and in the future it will not be closed for innovation."

  Contrary to "closed doors", China will expand its technological opening up and cooperation with greater steps.

Wang Zhigang emphasized that China will further optimize the legal and policy environment for technological innovation, strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, provide equal opportunities and convenient conditions for overseas talents who come to China to work and start businesses, and strive to make China a popular land for innovative entrepreneurs around the world.

  From the perspective of the international situation, the external environment is crucial for China to achieve its long-term goals in 2035.

Whether the possibility of "decoupling" between China and the United States will affect the realization of China's long-term goals has become a topic of concern.

  Han Wenxiu said that in the current era that the "global village" is getting smaller and smaller, China and the United States are the two largest economies in the world, and the economic ties between the two countries are determined by the complementarity of the economic structures of both sides and the openness of the global economy. It is simply unrealistic to "decouple" completely, and it is not good for China and the United States, and for the whole world.

  After clarifying "what to do", Han Wenxiu also listed the direction of China's "practice of internal strength"-reform, opening up, and innovation.

He pointed out that reform is a powerful driving force for development, opening up is an inevitable choice for promoting development, and innovation is the first driving force for development.

  It is worth noting that whether it is China's "doing" or "inaction", it is inseparable from the judgment of future risks and challenges.

Ning Jizhe, member and deputy director of the Party Group of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, and Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, said that the risks and challenges facing China come from both international and domestic sources.

  "Internationally, unilateralism, protectionism, and anti-globalization are on the rise, and unstable and uncertain factors have increased, making the external environment for China’s development complicated and severe. The problems of unbalanced and insufficient domestic development are still prominent, structural, institutional and Periodic contradictions coexist, and there are still many shortcomings in the field of social and people's livelihood." Ning Jizhe said.

  He pointed out that in the face of the risks and challenges in the next five years, the "Proposal" proposes that the overall domestic and international situations must be coordinated, and the two major issues of development and security must be handled well to prevent and resolve various risk challenges.

  Faced with the important blueprint for China's economic and social development, the press conference lasted nearly two hours to answer questions and clarify the concerns of the outside world.

From the appearance of the communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to the first press conference of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China focusing on concerns, the future of China's "promising" and "inaction" may become clearer.
