　　After achieving an all-round well-off, common prosperity has become another key task for China.

The "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centuries of Struggle" was announced in full. This blockbuster document sets "the common prosperity of all people" as one of China's goals to become a modern and powerful socialist country in the middle of this century. .

　　From Confucius' famous sentence of "don't worry about widows and inequality", to Marx's proposal that in the future society, "production will be aimed at the prosperity of all people". The realization of common prosperity is the common ideal of human society without question.

Since the founding of New China, the Chinese rulers and people have made unremitting explorations for this and achieved many results.

As China’s top leader Xi Jinping pointed out, “We promote economic and social development, in the final analysis, to achieve common prosperity for all people.” At a time when the century of change and the epidemic situation in the century, China’s exploration of common prosperity should be a showcase for the world to cope with challenges. Some new possibilities.

　　Eliminating poverty is a common challenge facing mankind, and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development lists it as the primary goal.

As the country with the largest poverty reduction population in the world, China has contributed more than 70% of global poverty reduction and has its own set of "codes."

　　After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, every time China’s economic and social development took a step forward, the poverty alleviation standards were raised once, and poverty alleviation work was pushed one step further, maintaining the simultaneous advancement of economic development and poverty reduction.

Since the reform and opening up, according to the current poverty standards, 770 million rural poor people in China have been lifted out of poverty. The problem of absolute poverty has been solved historically, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal of common prosperity.

　　Looking at the past and present, and looking around the world, no country can lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty in such a short period of time.

Based on many original and unique measures, China organized the largest and most powerful fight against poverty in human history, and drove away the poverty nightmare that has plagued the Chinese nation for millennia.

China has published this "poverty reduction code" to the world more systematically, providing a useful reference for mankind to overcome the chronic diseases of poverty.

　　The Western social security system with high welfare as its main feature was once regarded as the "ideal model of a society with equal wealth."

However, some former welfarism model countries are now plagued by the collapse of the middle class, the polarization between the rich and the poor, and the tearing of society.

　　Different from the above-mentioned Western thinking, China advocates the establishment of a scientific public policy system to divide the pie and form a reasonable distribution pattern for everyone in the process of promoting common prosperity.

While taking greater efforts and more practical measures to make the people feel more sense of gain, the protection and improvement of people’s livelihoods are also based on economic development and financial sustainability, without making promises that cannot be fulfilled, and resolutely preventing falling into the “welfare” "Ism" raises the trap of lazy people.

　　Under the new crown epidemic, problems such as weak global recovery and aging populations have become increasingly prominent. The huge fiscal deficit and debt pressure have put some Western countries on the road of reform and reconstruction of the welfare system.

Facing the attractive fruits of "shared prosperity", China has always emphasized "doing its best and doing what is possible" and not "writing empty checks and blindly raising its appetite."

From this kind of pragmatic restraint, people can expect a richer and long-lasting taste.

　　In the current world, behind the frequent social tears, conflicts and turmoil on a global scale, there are many factors behind the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

To bridge this gap and fill the governance deficit, the common wealth concept from China has become an important "puzzle."

　　Some experts pointed out that China's governance model of common prosperity meets the current global governance needs.

A notable example is that China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative has become an important starting point for countries along the route to develop and become rich.

The World Bank report predicts that the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” will help 7.6 million people get rid of extreme poverty and 32 million people will get rid of moderate poverty.

　　Through common prosperity, China has shown the world that the new society of the 21st century can be more fair and inclusive.

Today, this exploration of "shared prosperity" is still on the way, bringing people's well-being and opportunities to all parties.

There is reason to believe that it will show more new possibilities in the future.
