It fully embodies the Party Central Committee’s firm determination to solve the problem of my country’s unbalanced and insufficient development. It is a high-quality decision for Zhejiang. Development promotes common prosperity and provides strong driving force and fundamental compliance.
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and the common expectation of the people.
Since the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has united and led the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country.

There is still much room for improvement in the construction of spiritual civilization and ecological civilization. The basis and conditions for promoting common prosperity are also different.

The third is a strong sense of reform and innovation.
Zhejiang Exploration has created a number of reform experiences such as "run at most once", and created and continued to develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" of "relying on the masses to resolve contradictions on the spot". The strong sense of reform and innovation facilitates bold exploration and timely summary of the demonstration area construction Successful experience and institutional model.
Finally, Zhejiang has great room and potential for the construction of demonstration zones.
Zhejiang still has a lot of room to explore in terms of optimizing the economic structure that supports common prosperity, improving the system and mechanism of urban-rural integration and regional coordination, and realizing effective paths for inclusive growth.
How to correctly handle the relationship between stable employment expansion and technological progress, effectively solve the contradictions such as insufficient land use and resource constraints, form a long-term mechanism to effectively increase the income of low-income groups, anti-monopoly and prevent disorderly expansion of capital , Zhejiang has the urgency and conditions to further explore and innovate.
