Theoretical Logic of High Quality Development in China: Socialism | Development | Logic
Based on the new historical orientation of China's development
For over a hundred years, our party has united and led the people to complete the New Democratic Revolution, creating fundamental social conditions for the development of our country; Completed the socialist revolution and promoted socialist construction, laying the fundamental political prerequisite and institutional foundation for China's development; It has opened up a new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction, providing a dynamic institutional guarantee and material conditions for rapid development in China. Especially since the reform and opening up, our party has continuously promoted the sinicization and modernization of Marxism in the practice of economic and social development, successfully opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and creatively proposed the theory of the primary stage of socialism. The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China systematically elaborated on the theory of the primary stage of socialism, clearly stating that "from the basic completion of the socialist transformation of private ownership of the means of production in the 1950s to the basic realization of socialist modernization, it will take at least a hundred years, all of which belong to the primary stage of socialism." It emphasized that "in the primary stage, in order to get rid of poverty and backwardness, the development of productivity should be the center of all work. Whether it is conducive to the development of productivity should be the starting point for us to consider all issues and the fundamental standard for testing all work.".
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which is a new historical direction for China's development. Its basic basis is the miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability created by China since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up. It has greatly improved the level of social productivity and promoted the transformation of the main contradictions in our society. Unbalanced and insufficient development has become the main limiting factor in meeting the growing needs of the people for a better life. It must be pointed out that the new era still belongs to the primary stage of socialism, and development remains the foundation and key to solving all problems in our country. However, the changes in the main social contradictions have put forward new requirements for our country's development.We must base ourselves on the new historical direction of China's development and accurately grasp the theoretical logic of high-quality development.
Closely following the changes in the main social contradictions in our country
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made a systematic exposition on the changes in the main contradictions of Chinese society in the new era, clearly stating that "the changes in the main contradictions of Chinese society are a historical change that affects the overall situation, and have put forward many new requirements for the work of the Party and the state. On the basis of continuing to promote development, we must focus on solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development, vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of development, better meet the growing needs of the people in economic, political, cultural, social, ecological and other aspects, and better promote the comprehensive development of people and social progress.". According to the theory of the primary stage of socialism, the production purpose of socialism is to meet the needs of the people, and the level of social productive forces is the main limiting factor for meeting the needs of the people. This means that the fundamental task of socialism is to liberate and develop productive forces. The changes in the main contradictions in our society determine that the development of the new era must be able to "meet the growing needs of the people for a better life" and must be able to "solve the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development".
We must closely monitor the main contradictions and changes in our society, and comprehensively understand and grasp the theoretical logic of high-quality development. On the one hand, the production purpose of socialism is to meet the needs of the people, and high-quality development must be able to better meet the growing needs of the people for a better life. This requires "adhering to the people's subjectivity, conforming to the people's aspirations for a better life, continuously realizing, safeguarding, and developing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, achieving development for the people, relying on the people, and sharing development achievements with the people."; On the other hand, high-quality development must "continue to promote development, focus on solving the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development, and vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of development", especially by organically combining the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with supply side structural reform, to achieve the organic unity of meeting the people's needs for a better life and solving the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development.
Focusing on the issue of imbalanced and insufficient development
Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in "On Contradictions" that "in the development process of complex things, there are many contradictions, and one of them must be the main contradiction, because its existence and development determine or affect the existence and development of other contradictions."; The nature of things is mainly determined by the main aspects of the contradiction that obtains dominance. When the main aspects of the contradiction that obtains dominance change, the nature of things also changes accordingly. If the existence and development of the main contradictions in society determine the existence and development of other contradictions, the main aspects of the main contradictions in society determine the nature of development. This means that the main contradiction and change in our society is a historic change that affects the overall situation, and "unbalanced and insufficient development", as the main aspect of the main contradiction in our society in the new era, has not only become the main influencing factor in meeting the growing needs of the people for a better life, but also fundamentally defines the nature of our country's development. We must closely focus on the main aspect of the social contradiction of "unbalanced and insufficient development", and more accurately grasp the theoretical logic of high-quality development.
This requires adhering to the core position of innovation in China's modernization construction, deeply implementing the strategies of revitalizing the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talent, and driving development through innovation, continuously shaping new driving forces and advantages for development.This requires the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and regional coordinated development strategy, vigorously improving the balance, coordination, and inclusiveness of development, and focusing on promoting urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development.
Grasp the connotation of high-quality development in the era
In the new era and new journey, we must coordinate the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world, deeply understand and accurately grasp the connotation of high-quality development in the era, and provide a more solid material foundation for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modernized country.
Effectively implement the new development concept.The five development concepts of "innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing" proposed at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China have systematically answered a series of theoretical and practical questions about China's development goals, driving forces, methods, and paths. They fully reflect the organic unity of meeting the growing needs of the people for a better life and solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development. They are not only significant theoretical achievements in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, but also guiding principles and action guidelines for promoting high-quality development. We must integrate the new development concept into the entire process and various fields of development, especially through the complete, accurate, and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, to have a deeper understanding and more accurate grasp of the era's connotation of high-quality development.
Efforts will be made to build a new development pattern.It is not only a strategic deployment for China to coordinate development and security, firmly grasp the initiative of future development, but also a strategic choice to respond to various opportunities and challenges, and a strategic basis for promoting high-quality development. On the new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, we must accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and strive to achieve higher quality, more efficient, more fair, more sustainable, and safer development.
