"Correctly understand and grasp major theoretical and practical issues"

　　"The rich people in a country care about enriching the people. The creation and distribution of wealth is a major issue that all countries face." General Secretary Xi Jinping said.

　　Entering a new stage of development, my country's development internal and external environment has undergone profound changes, and it faces many new major theoretical and practical problems.

At the meeting, the first major issue that General Secretary Xi Jinping focused on was to correctly understand and grasp the strategic goals and practical approaches to achieve common prosperity.

　　Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

How should we take the path of common prosperity?

General Secretary Xi Jinping guides the direction: First, we must make the "cake" bigger and better through the joint efforts of the people across the country, and then cut the "cake" well through reasonable institutional arrangements.

　　"This is a long-term historical process. We have to create conditions, improve the system, and steadily move towards this goal." General Secretary Xi Jinping has a long-term plan and is striving for the day.

　　"To promote common prosperity, we cannot engage in the'welfarism' style." The general secretary specially warned.

　　Lessons from the past need to be faced squarely: Back then, some Latin American countries engaged in populism and raised a number of "lazy people" and unearned people with high welfare. As a result, they were financially overwhelmed and fell into a "middle income trap", and they could not extricate themselves for a long time.

Although some high-welfare countries have not fallen into the "middle-income trap", many people have become unbearable and unwilling to work, and the national initiative has begun to stop.

　　"Persist in doing what we can and do what we can." General Secretary Xi Jinping made it clear that the current work to be done-"The focus is on improving the level of public services, and accurately providing basic public services in areas where the people are most concerned about education, medical care, pensions, and housing. Service, to keep the bottom line of the basic life of the people in need."

　　Correctly understanding and grasping the characteristics and behavioral laws of capital is also a major issue.

　　In recent years, due to lack of understanding and lack of supervision, my country has seen disorderly expansion of capital in some areas, jeopardizing the healthy development of the economy and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

　　There will inevitably be various forms of capital in the socialist market economy.

How to play the positive role of capital as a production factor while effectively controlling its negative role?

There is no ready answer in the classic works of Marxism, and it is necessary to explore and answer in theoretical and practical innovation.

　　"We must set up a'traffic light' for capital." The meeting pointed out.

　　There is a good recipe after the Miao Yu.

　　To curb the disorderly expansion of capital is not to eliminate capital, but to develop in an orderly manner.

The meeting requested that the effective supervision of capital be strengthened in accordance with the law to prevent the brutal growth of capital; support and guide the standardized and healthy development of capital, adhere to and improve the basic socialist economic system, unswervingly consolidate and develop the public economy, and unswervingly encourage, support, and guide The development of the non-public ownership economy promotes the healthy development of the non-public ownership economy and the healthy growth of people in the non-public ownership economy.

　　A correct understanding and grasp of the supply of primary products is critical to a big country like China.

　　"To enhance the capacity of domestic resource production guarantee", speaking of this point, the General Secretary made it clear that the development and application of advanced technologies for oil and gas and other resources should be accelerated, and the construction of a waste recycling system should be accelerated.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphatically emphasized food security: "Improving comprehensive agricultural production capacity must be placed in a more prominent position" "The Chinese people's rice bowl must be firmly in their hands at all times, and our rice bowl should mainly contain Chinese food."

　　Increasing revenue should also cut expenditure.

General Secretary Xi Jinping requested “insisting on saving priority and implementing a comprehensive saving strategy”, and made clear arrangements: in the production area, promote comprehensive resource saving, intensive and recycling; in the consumption area, enhance the nation’s awareness of saving and advocate simplicity and moderation, green and low-carbon Lifestyle.

　　"To oppose extravagance and waste and excessive consumption, to carry out in-depth food conservation actions such as'CD-ROMs', and to carry out extensive actions such as the creation of green institutions, green families, green communities, and green travel." General Secretary Xi Jinping's tone was firm.

　　Regarding other major issues, General Secretary Xi Jinping also analyzed and made arrangements one by one.

　　"Correctly understand and grasp the prevention and resolution of major risks"——

　　At this stage, there are many hidden risks in my country's economic and financial sectors, but they are generally controllable.

　　"We must give full play to the party's leadership and the advantages of my country's socialist system, learn from the slightest, grasp the early and grasp the small, and strive to avoid major risks or crises." The policy of bombing, do a good job in risk management.

　　"Correctly understand and grasp carbon peak carbon neutrality"——

　　Recently, there have been some problems in actual work. Some places are engaged in "carbon charge", some are engaged in "one size fits all", sports-style "carbon reduction", and even the phenomenon of "cutting the switch and limiting electricity" has occurred.

　　"These do not meet the requirements of the Party Central Committee." General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to ensure energy supply.

　　Achieving carbon peaks and carbon neutrality is a big test. It requires a correct view of political performance, and it requires "success does not have to be me, success must have me".

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “To achieve the goal of achieving carbon peaks and carbon neutrality, we must be unswerving, but it is impossible to accomplish the goal in one stroke. We must persist in seeking progress while maintaining stability and gradually achieving it.”

"Embodied in the practical actions of sharing worries for the party, fulfilling responsibilities for the country, and dedicating to the people"

　　At the meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out some problems that have emerged in the work of some places for a period of time.

For example, in some places, the reform of toilets in rural areas is heavily formalistic and bureaucratic, which has caused problems with a large number of toilets.

　　"These problems all show a truth. Leading economic work must respect objective reality and the needs of the masses, and must have systematic thinking and scientific planning." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the key to the problem-"The professional ability to lead economic work is very important."

　　How to be more "specialized"?

General Secretary Xi Jinping provided a guide:

　　"Leading cadres must not only understand a little knowledge of economics and science to improve their leadership economic work ability. They must also learn historical knowledge, cultivate cultural heritage, strengthen ecological concepts, and especially understand the people-centered development thinking. Adhere to the correct view of political achievements, respect history, culture, and ecology, make decisions carefully, use power carefully, and continuously improve leadership in economic work."

　　"To be broad and subtle" is the way to get things done.

General Secretary Xi Jinping warned: prevent the “devil in the details” from damaging the overall situation.

　　He further pointed out that “the general direction of the career and the work must be correct, the key points must be clear, the strategy must be appropriate, and the details must be controlled. The operation is meticulous and precise."

　　The most important thing is the details, but the implementation.

　　"Insisting on focusing on economic construction is the requirement of the party's basic line, and the whole party must concentrate on implementing it." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out.

　　Once the major strategic goals have been determined, it is necessary to push forward with perseverance and perseverance.

　　The meeting requested that party committees and governments at all levels, and leading cadres at all levels should consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee, improve political judgment, political understanding, and political execution. They should not stay in words, but should be implemented in actions and embodied in implementation. The actual actions to implement the party’s line, principles and policies are reflected in the actual actions to promote high-quality development, as well as in the actual actions of sharing worries for the party, fulfilling responsibilities for the country, and contributing to the people.

　　Strategize, set the tone, and move forward in unison.

　　The comrades attending the meeting unanimously expressed that it is necessary to thoroughly understand the important ideology of General Secretary Xi Jinping, implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee with practical actions, and greet the party’s 20th National Congress with excellent results.
