There is no good thing in the world to sit back and enjoy. The great achievements of the new era are all made by the party and the people through hard work, hard work and hard work.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has issued a series of major principles and policies, launched a series of major measures, promoted a series of major tasks, overcome a series of major risks and challenges, and overcome many long-term unresolved problems. A lot of long-term major and important events have been accomplished, and the cause of the party and the country has achieved major achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.
Especially in 2022, in the face of the turbulent international environment and the arduous and arduous tasks of domestic reform, development and stability, the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups have risen to the difficulties and forged ahead, achieving steady economic development and not only continuing to maintain the world's second largest economy. The status of a large economy, the total economic volume has reached a new level, reaching 121 trillion yuan; the total investment in research and experimental development of the whole society has exceeded 3 trillion yuan, and the investment intensity has reached 2.55%, which has injected a strong force into innovation and development. Vitality; grain production has achieved "nineteen consecutive harvests", and grain output has stood at 1.3 trillion catties for eight consecutive years, providing strong support for ensuring national food security and stabilizing the macroeconomic market.
This year is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also an extremely important year in the history of the party and the country.
On the one hand, China's economy has strong resilience, sufficient potential, and long-term positive fundamentals have not changed, its determination to expand opening up has not wavered, and its development momentum is constantly increasing; on the other hand, there are many uncertainties in the changes in the epidemic and the external environment. The foundations for recovery are not yet firm.
In the new year, to achieve an overall improvement in economic operation and continuous improvement of people's lives, we still need to strengthen our confidence and work hard, adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, accelerate the establishment of a new development pattern, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, The implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand is organically combined with deepening supply-side structural reforms, creating effective demand through high-quality supply, supporting the expansion of domestic demand in various ways and channels, promoting the overall improvement of economic operation, and achieving effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity. It is a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
The bigger the goal, the harder the mission.
Looking into the future, we have a bright future but a long way to go. We must be prepared to make even more arduous and arduous efforts. The more than 1.4 billion Chinese people are bound together to create new great achievements with new great struggles.
