"Schools cannot push all the students' after-school time to society";
"Insist on the positioning of'the house is for living, not for speculation'";
"We must unswervingly write public welfare on the banner of medical and health services, and we cannot take the path of full marketization and commercialization"...
These “nos” of China’s top leader Xi Jinping reveal the “urgent hopes” in the field of Chinese people’s livelihood and also reveal the national ambitions of “realizing common prosperity”-we must not allow the gap between rich and poor to grow wider and poorer. The poorer the richer the richer, and there must not be an insurmountable gap between the rich and the poor.
From the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that the main contradiction in Chinese society has been transformed into “the contradiction between the people’s growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development”, at the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping proposed that the work of achieving common prosperity “cannot be "Wait", to "let the people truly feel that common prosperity is not just a slogan", the outside world has already understood the clear signal released during this period.
At the celebration of the centenary of the Communist Party of China on July 1, Xi Jinping declared: Maintain social fairness and justice, focus on solving the problem of uneven development and the people’s urgent and sorrowful problems, and promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people. Substantial progress.
Observers believe that "unbalanced and inadequate development issues" and "problems of despair and hope" are the starting point, fairness and justice are the yardstick of value, and common prosperity is the ultimate goal.
Focusing on the pain points of people’s livelihood is part of the grand reform to promote social justice, and there will be “visible, tangible, and real changes for the people”, which can promote China’s success in the process of achieving common prosperity. Big win.
"The way to govern the country starts with enriching the people." Common prosperity has been a basic ideal of the Chinese nation since ancient times.
As China continues to develop, the "cake" has become bigger, and the question of how to divide the "cake" has been put in a more prominent position.
The outside world believes that China's development orientation is adapting to "two turns"—from focusing on efficiency to focusing more on fairness, and from focusing on getting rich first to more focusing on common prosperity.
As Deng Xiaoping said, "To get rich together, we have said from the beginning of reform that one day it will become the central issue in the future."
Today, China has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and has taken a solid step forward on the road to common prosperity; building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way has laid a solid foundation for the promotion of common prosperity in the new stage of development.
According to the timetable set by the Communist Party of China, when socialist modernization is basically achieved in 2035, all people will take solid steps to prosper together; by the middle of this century, when China is built into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist country, all people will prosper together. Basically realized.
Based on this, expressions such as "promoting the common prosperity of all the people in a more important position" and "all the people have achieved more obvious substantive progress in the common prosperity of all people" have appeared more and more frequently in Chinese political discourse.
As a "long-term" and "realistic" task, common prosperity is placed in a more important position.
Recently, as the country's first experimental field, Zhejiang has initiated the construction of a "Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone", which has attracted great attention both at home and abroad.
Based on this, after continuing to make up for the fairness shortcomings of the rural poor, the state has made efforts to improve the people's livelihood of the urban population, and made a combination of punches around the "equalization of basic public services."
Recently, the key livelihood areas are welcoming strong regulatory signals.
——Strongly rectify the off-campus training industry, name the school district’s room for speculation, and start the implementation of "multi-school slicing"... Each action points to the educational anxiety that Chinese families "cannot afford".
——Multi-departmental joint efforts to rectify chaos in the property market, brewing a new round of real estate tax reform, and setting red lines for real estate companies and banks... let the market see the constant force of the policy of "housing and not speculating".
—— Anti-monopoly law enforcement will be carried out in medicine and other fields, the "national team" will normalize the centralized procurement of medicines, and the negotiation experts will "soul bargaining" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
These big moves to dismantle the pain points of people's livelihood include "breaking" and "establishing", "long" and "short", "sparse" and "blocking", all pointing to "fair" and "sharing".
These big moves also start from the subtleties of the people's "emergency and worry" and "do what can be done as much as possible" to make common prosperity more sensible in real life.
In the future, as more "institutional arrangements" that target regional gaps, urban-rural gaps, and income gaps continue to improve, and as the puzzle of common prosperity is pieced together, the basic ideals of the Chinese nation will eventually become reality.
Today's China and current actions will also provide a possibility and reference for the solution of the eternal human issue of fairness and justice.
