  The Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress held a closing meeting on the 11th, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline were voted through.

At this point, China has set a general road map for its development in the next 5 to 15 years.

This is the blueprint for China to embark on a new journey, and it is the common action plan of the Chinese people.

  This is a blueprint with a "modern sense" that points to a China that pays more attention to high-quality development.

  In today's world, GDP growth is no longer the only yardstick to measure a country's economic strength.

Whether the economic structure is reasonable, whether labor productivity is high or low, and whether green development can be achieved are all important indicators for judging the effectiveness of economic development.

  In recent years, China has been trying to avoid "GDP alone", focusing on promoting the transformation of the economy from high-speed growth to high-quality development, and accelerating the construction of a new development pattern.

Officials have repeatedly emphasized that the current contradictions and problems in China's development are concentrated in the quality of development, and the issue of development quality must be placed in a more prominent position.

  The newly adopted roadmap further highlights this concept.

In the "14th Five-Year Plan", China rarely set a specific economic growth target, and only expressed the GDP index value as an average annual growth "to be maintained within a reasonable range and proposed in each year as appropriate."

This is the first time in the history of China's five-year plan.

  Not setting specific growth targets as "hard constraints" is a clearer signal, indicating that in the future, China will further shift its focus to improving the quality and efficiency of economic growth.

  This is a blueprint with a sense of "happiness", pointing to a China that pays more attention to people's livelihood and well-being.

  China has always advocated that "people's support is the greatest politics", "people's livelihood is stable, people's minds are stable, and society is stable", and it requires that the people's most immediate and practical interests should be grasped to ensure basic people's livelihood.

When the epidemic spreads, every life is saved at all costs and no matter what the cost. When the economy is facing a huge impact, it is still doing everything possible to eliminate absolute poverty, which is a manifestation of the concept of "people first".

  Standing in the new stage of development, the all-round development of human beings and the common prosperity of all people have made more obvious substantive progress, and their position in China's long-term goals for the next 15 years will become more and more eye-catching.

  From the growth of per capita disposable income and GDP growth, to the improvement of the minimum wage standard and the expansion of middle-income groups; from the basic pension insurance participation rate to 95%, to the average life expectancy increase by 1 year; from the effective control of childhood obesity and Myopia, to the elimination of gender discrimination in employment... The planning outline all shows concern for "people" between the lines. This value will increasingly be reflected in all aspects of China's development in the future.

  This is a blueprint with a "future sense" that points to a China that pays more attention to technological innovation.

  Relying on traditional industry competition has become history.

With the accelerated evolution of a new round of technological revolution and industrial revolution, and the widespread application of new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, mobile Internet, cloud computing, and 5G, mankind has entered the era of digital economy, and the competition between countries is increasingly embodied in the key Core technologies, as well as the competition of new industries, new formats, and new models.

  According to the planning outline, China's innovation capabilities will be "remarkably improved" in the next five years, and the average annual growth of R&D expenditures in the whole society will reach more than 7%.

  China is determined to fight a tough battle for key core technologies, and plans to target frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum information, integrated circuits, life and health, implement a number of forward-looking and strategic national major scientific and technological projects, and concentrate its superior resources to tackle new problems and emergencies. Key core technologies in the fields of infectious disease and biosafety risk prevention and control, key components and parts, and basic materials.

  In addition, China will also plan a number of future industries in the fields of quantum information, gene technology, future network and other cutting-edge technology and industrial transformation, so that the added value of strategic emerging industries will account for more than 17% of GDP.

  For China, these ambitious goals not only mean making up for shortcomings in key areas of science and technology, safeguarding the country's economic sovereignty and economic security, but also a symbol of entering a technological power and seizing opportunities in the increasingly fierce international competition.

  At a critical moment in the development process of China and the entire world, this general roadmap not only embodies China's new vision as a powerful country, but also brings massive new opportunities to the world.

As the world’s second largest economy and a practitioner of open cooperation, China strives to achieve higher-quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development, and will continue to contribute new momentum to the world economy and help it. After stepping out of the impact of the epidemic, "to a higher level".
