What does 2021 mean for China's economic and social development?
The meeting set the tone in this way-a year of special importance in the process of my country's modernization drive.
How to understand the special importance?
After my country has built a well-off society in an all-round way, the "14th Five-Year Plan" will start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and 2021 will be the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and a new journey of pursuing dreams.
The opening is related to the overall situation, and the start determines the future.
The meeting emphasized to ensure a good start of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China with outstanding achievements.
At present, my country's economic operation is gradually returning to normal, but there are still many uncertainties in the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the external environment.
However, the more we face uncertainty, the more we must take the initiative to deal with the uncertainty of the external environment with the stability of our own development.
The meeting emphasized the need to strengthen the awareness of opportunities and risks, make scientific arrangements, pay close attention to implementation, and firmly grasp the initiative in economic work.
How to grasp the opportunity?
The Party Central Committee made a clear judgment that, at present and for a period in the future, my country's development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities, but there are new developments and changes in opportunities and challenges.
Bai Chongen, Dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, analyzed that despite the profound changes in the international economic structure and the countercurrent of economic globalization, my country has abundant human resources, a huge domestic market, and a relatively complete industrial system, and other good conditions, which will help my country develop Bring more opportunities and more space.
How to prevent risks?
The meeting emphasized "better overall development and security", and also proposed "do a good job in the resolution of various existing risks and the prevention of incremental risks."
Security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the guarantee of security.
Expert analysis and enhancing risk awareness requires us to establish a bottom-line thinking, integrate security development into all fields and the entire process of national development, and prevent and resolve various risks that affect my country's modernization process.

In the face of many uncertainties, how to ensure a good start and a good start for the "14th Five-Year Plan"?

Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China International Economic Exchange Center, believes that the supply-side structural reforms in the past few years, including adjusting the economic structure and resolving excess capacity, have improved the overall effectiveness of the national economic system.
Future reforms will focus on supply and demand, which will expand new space for economic development.

The meeting emphasized the need to promote reform and opening up as a whole to form a strong domestic market.
Cai Fang, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the new development pattern is a development pattern that organically combines the domestic cycle and opening up.
We must adhere to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand and smooth the circulation of the national economy through deepening reform. The smoother the internal circulation, the more obvious the mutual promotion of the dual circulation.
The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and technological innovation is one of the key variables.
The meeting requested to strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength and enhance the independent controllability of the industrial chain supply chain.
Experts believe that we must unswervingly follow the path of independent innovation, strengthen our confidence, immerse ourselves in hard work, break through key core technologies, and enhance my country's science and technology ability to respond to international risks and challenges.
