　　The international community is keenly watching this year's two sessions in China.

The next five years will be a critical period for China to start building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

The report of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization are: Adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhering to socialism with Chinese characteristics, achieving high-quality development, developing people's democracy throughout the process, enriching the spiritual world of the people, realizing common prosperity for all people, and promoting Man and nature live in harmony, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and create a new form of human civilization." General Secretary Xi Jinping also emphasized not long ago that to promote Chinese-style modernization, we must do a good job in the first year.

　　In the opening year, there is a change of term. This year's two sessions are not only an important window to understand China's internal affairs and diplomacy, but also a key weathervane to observe how to orientate, start, and move forward in the new stage of comprehensively promoting Chinese-style modernization.

High-quality economic recovery and stable expectations

　　Among the many concerns of the outside world, China's economic situation can be described as the top priority.

Affected and impacted by various factors such as the new crown epidemic, the current Chinese economy is still facing relatively large downward pressure, and the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent.

　　Yan Yilong, deputy dean of the National Conditions Research Institute of Tsinghua University, told reporters from China News Agency that the key to promoting Chinese-style modernization lies in stabilizing expectations and strengthening confidence through high-quality economic recovery.

A high-quality recovery of the economy not only means that the economic growth rate must be maintained within a reasonable range, but also contains measures such as the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which is in line with the characteristics and requirements of Chinese-style modernization.

　　The Central Economic Work Conference at the end of last year set the tone for this year that "development must be high-quality development".

At present, it has become the consensus of all walks of life to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, technological structure, consumption structure, urban-rural structure, energy structure, and trade structure, and to release growth potential and development momentum.

All parties expect that this year's government work report will make further plans around expanding domestic demand, implementing new development concepts, and building a "dual cycle" pattern.

Common prosperity focuses on "expanding" and "increasing"

　　As an essential requirement in Chinese-style modernization, common prosperity has also attracted the attention of the outside world.

China's first trial of common prosperity in Zhejiang Province has achieved direct results: the income of ordinary people is higher, the spiritual and cultural life is richer, the green water and green mountains are more beautiful, and it is more convenient for people to seek medical treatment, do business, and go to school.

After Zhejiang, other provinces in China have successively introduced their own plans and carried out various attempts to help common prosperity.

This year's "No. 1 Central Document" continues to strengthen, stabilize and improve assistance policies, and requires the implementation of policies to effectively connect the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.

　　Yu Miaojie, a representative of the 14th National People's Congress and president of Liaoning University, told reporters that in the first year, it is necessary to further protect and improve people's livelihood, take into account efficiency and fairness, and strive to create opportunities for more people to participate in economic activities. This is the meaning of the Chinese-style modernization of common prosperity.

After three years of the epidemic, the people have many expectations for a better life that have yet to be responded to by the National People's Congress this year.

Green development seeks co-construction and sharing

　　At present, China's economic development has opened a new green chapter of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The Chinese-style modernization road is also a green development road that shares its achievements with the world.

　　The Russian Satellite News Agency noticed the practice of promoting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature in the process of Chinese-style modernization, and quoted Sergei Sanakoyev, director of the Russian China Analysis Center, as saying that China is a leader in the construction of ecological civilization and is taking practical measures Actions to improve the environment.

In recent years, China has continuously increased its investment in the field of clean energy. It has also carried out extensive cooperation with many countries on green development, actively mediating and exerting influence on multiple global ecological governance platforms.

　　In addition to opportunities for green development, this year marks the tenth anniversary of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, and China will host the third "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum.

Analysts believe that this year's National Two Sessions will focus on promoting the construction of the "Green Silk Road", more effectively participating in global ecological and environmental governance, and building an earth home where man and nature coexist harmoniously, and the economy and the environment work together.

　　In the new year, the world is still in turmoil. It has been more than a year since the Ukraine crisis has escalated in an all-round way. Due to the superimposition of multiple factors, the deficit in global governance is likely to increase.

Some critics believe that geopolitical conflicts, the slowdown of world economic growth, and the increasingly divergent growth prospects of developed and emerging economies have all raised new expectations for China.

What is certain is that the two sessions of China held at an important historical juncture will set a good direction, start a good game, and make a good move for Chinese-style modernization in a multi-dimensional and three-dimensional manner. It deserves the attention of the world and the expectations of the people.
