Editor's note: The 20th issue of "Seeking Truth" published an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping "A Solid Promotion of Common Prosperity".
The article emphasizes: "The common prosperity we are talking about is the common prosperity of all people, the material and spiritual life of the people are rich, not the prosperity of a few people, nor the uniform egalitarianism." How to correctly understand common prosperity?
Let's study the important expositions of the general secretary.
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and an important feature of Chinese-style modernization.
The common prosperity we are talking about is the common prosperity of all people, the material and spiritual life of the people are rich, it is not the prosperity of a few people, nor is it uniform egalitarianism.
Common prosperity depends on hard work and wisdom to create
A happy life is the result of hard work, and common prosperity depends on hard work and wisdom to create.
We must insist on safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood in development, putting the promotion of high-quality development in the first place, creating more inclusive and fair conditions for people to improve their education level and enhancing development capabilities, enhance the human capital and professional skills of the entire society, and enhance employment and entrepreneurship capabilities , Enhance the ability to get rich.
It is necessary to prevent the solidification of the social class, unblock the upward flow of channels, create opportunities for more people to become rich, and form a development environment in which everyone participates, and avoid "involution" and "laying flat."
We must do our best to achieve common prosperity
It is necessary to establish a scientific public policy system, divide the pie, and form a reasonable distribution pattern for everyone.
We must use greater intensity and more concrete measures to give the people a greater sense of gain.
At the same time, we must also realize that there is still a big gap between China's development level and developed countries.
It is necessary to coordinate the needs and possibilities, and base the protection and improvement of people's livelihood on the basis of economic development and financial sustainability. Don't try to raise your appetite and make promises that cannot be fulfilled.
The government cannot cover everything. The focus is to strengthen the construction of basic, inclusive, and comprehensive people's livelihood security.
Even if the level of development is higher and the financial resources are stronger in the future, it is impossible to set too high goals and over-protected, and resolutely prevent falling into the trap of "welfare" raising lazy people.
We must adhere to a step-by-step approach for common prosperity
Common prosperity is a long-term goal. It requires a process and cannot be achieved overnight. It is necessary to fully estimate the long-term, arduous, and complex nature of it. We cannot wait or rush to manage this matter well.
Some developed countries have been in industrialization for hundreds of years, but due to social system reasons, the problem of common prosperity has not yet been resolved, and the disparity between the rich and the poor has become more and more serious.
We must have patience, do a good job one by one, and improve actual results.
We must do a good job in the construction of a demonstration zone for common prosperity in Zhejiang, encourage localities to explore effective paths according to local conditions, sum up experience, and gradually promote them.
Common prosperity must promote people's spiritual life and common prosperity
The promotion of common prosperity and the promotion of the all-round development of people are highly unified.
It is necessary to strengthen the guidance of socialist core values, strengthen patriotism, collectivism, and socialist education, develop public cultural undertakings, improve the public cultural service system, and continuously meet the diverse, multi-level, and multi-faceted spiritual and cultural needs of the people.
It is necessary to strengthen the guidance of public opinion to promote common prosperity, clarify various ambiguities, prevent eagerness for success and fear of difficulties, and provide a good public opinion environment for promoting common prosperity.
The common prosperity of all people is an overall concept, and it is for the whole society.
Like building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the common prosperity of all people is an overall concept for the whole society. Don’t divide it into cities, rural areas, or eastern, central, and western regions. Each indicator should be based on Look at the big picture.
To achieve common prosperity for 1.4 billion people, we must be down-to-earth and work for a long time. Not all people are wealthy at the same time, and not all regions reach the same level of wealth at the same time. First, there will be some differences in the degree of wealth in different regions, and it is impossible to go hand in hand.
This is a process of moving forward in a dynamic state, which must be continuously promoted to achieve continuous results.
