　　In 2021, the total economic volume will more than double from 2012, and the proportion of the world economy will increase from 11.3% to more than 18%; the pace of key core technologies in 5G, basic software, industrial machine tools and other fields will be accelerated, and the road of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics will continue to grow. The wider it is; the world's largest high-speed railway network will be built, and the world's largest 5G independent networking network will be built, and the infrastructure support will be stronger; the basic self-sufficiency of grains, the absolute security of rations, the continuous improvement of energy supply guarantee capabilities, and the safety and stability of industrial and supply chains. The capacity has been continuously enhanced, and the economic security has been comprehensively strengthened... Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of Road, handed over an economic development answer sheet that the people are satisfied with and attract worldwide attention.

　　In March 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed: "Accelerate the transition from an economic power to an economic power." Although my country's economic aggregate has jumped to the second place in the world since 2010, becoming a veritable economic power, it is not yet an economic power.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "A strong country requires a strong economic system." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has scientifically grasped the new development stage, fully implemented the new development concept, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, and led the way. China's economy is striding forward along the track of high-quality development, laying a more solid material foundation for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Looking back at the past ten years, my country has made great achievements in economic construction. Its GDP has exceeded one trillion yuan, and its per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars. The country's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength have leaped to a new level.

Things are not difficult.

In the past ten years, there have been dangers of wading through the beach, difficulties in breaking through barriers, and difficulties in climbing the slopes. China's economy has developed by overcoming risks and challenges, and has grown after going through a "stress test".

From proposing that economic development has entered a new normal state to judging that my country's economy has entered a new stage of development, from adhering to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability to adhering to the people-centered development idea, from promoting coordinated regional development to accelerating the construction of a unified national market... New From the historical starting point of 2009, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core planned the big game with a big idea, responded to the big changes with a big pattern, and led the Chinese economic ship to cut through the waves and open up new vast seas and sky.

　　No nation or nation in human history can become strong and rejuvenated by relying on external forces, copying foreign models, and following others step by step.

We maintain our strategic focus, strengthen our confidence in winning, insist on putting the development of the country and the nation on the basis of our own strength, and continue to move towards the goal of becoming an economic powerhouse.

For a period of time, the ability to innovate was not strong, the overall level of scientific and technological development was not high, and the ability of science and technology to support economic and social development was insufficient, which became the "Achilles' heel" of my country's economy.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "Big size does not mean strong, heavy weight does not mean strong, and puffiness is not good." "The core technology of the Internet is our biggest 'life gate', and the control of core technology by others is our biggest hidden danger."

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has implemented an innovation-driven development strategy, paying special attention to independent innovation and the construction of an innovation environment, striving to improve my country's industrial level and strength, and promote my country's transformation from an economic power to an economic power and a manufacturing power.

The practice of the past ten years has profoundly demonstrated that only by adhering to independence can we "sit firmly on the fishing boat despite the wind and waves" and firmly grasp the initiative of development.

　　China's economy is a giant ship. The bigger the volume, the bigger the wind and waves, the more important it is to steer and lead the way.

Adhering to strengthening the party's centralized and unified leadership of economic work is a major advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job in economic work.

Over the past ten years, in the face of various risks and challenges, the fundamental reason why my country's economy and society have maintained a good momentum of sustainable and healthy development is that we adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, maintain strategic focus, insist on making progress while maintaining stability, and deepen reform and opening up. Give full play to the enthusiasm of the central and local governments, and transform the institutional advantages of the party's leadership of economic work into governance efficiency.

Practice has fully proved that the decisions and deployments made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core are completely correct. The Party Central Committee has the skillful ability to manage complex situations and the superb wisdom to lead China's economic giant to break through the waves. This is our ability to overcome all risks and challenges. backbone.

At present, my country's economic development is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations.

Under the impact of the epidemic of the century, the evolution of the century-old situation has accelerated, and the external environment has become more complex, severe and uncertain.

The more complicated the situation is and the more severe the challenges are, the more important it is to give full play to the role of the CPC Central Committee as a determinant of centralized and unified leadership, strengthen the Party's overall leadership over economic work, and continue to move towards the goal of building an economic powerhouse.

　　Looking back on history, my country was once an economic power in the world. Later, when the industrial revolution occurred in Europe and the world was undergoing profound changes, it lost the historical opportunity to progress with the world and gradually fell into a situation of passive beating.

Today, the people led by our party have not only created the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that are rare in the world, but also successfully walked out of the Chinese-style modernization path and created a new form of human civilization.

"The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, but the times and trends are on our side. This is where our determination and confidence lie, and where our determination and confidence lie." Facing the future, we have full confidence, determination and foundation. Conditioned to promote the steady, healthy and sustainable development of the economy, and provide strong support for building a powerful modern socialist country in an all-round way.
