This year is a milestone in the history of the Party and the country. We celebrated the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), achieved the first centenary goal, and embarked on a new journey towards the second centenary goal. We responded calmly to changes in the century and the epidemic in the 21st century, took new steps in building a new development pattern, made fresh progress in high-quality development, and got the 14th Five-Year Plan off to a good start. At present, the century-old changes and the pandemic are intertwined and mutually affecting each other, posing increasing risks and challenges to China's development. To overcome risks and challenges and ensure the realization of development goals, we need to fully grasp the principles that must be followed for China's economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan and the outline of the Vision for 2035.

Upholding the overall leadership of the Party. As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "The leadership of the COMMUNIST Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the greatest strength of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the foundation and lifeblood of the Party and the country, and the interests and destiny of the people of all ethnic groups in China are bound up." To effectively govern the largest political party and the most populous country in the world, we must uphold the overall leadership of the Party, especially the centralized, unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee. Party's sixth plenary of the 19 points out: "the core of jinping comrades of the CPC Central Committee, the party established the core position of the party, establishing the new era xi guiding status of socialism with Chinese characteristics, reflect the common aspiration, the party and all the people of all nationalities to the new era, the party and national business development of decisive significance to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation history." To uphold the Overall leadership of the Party, we must uphold and improve the systems and mechanisms for the Party to lead economic and social development, and effectively implement the "two safeguards" in all areas, aspects and links of economic and social development. We will ensure that the Decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee are effectively implemented. We should give full play to the unique advantages of socialist democracy, ensure the effective implementation of the Party's policies through the rule of law, organically combine the political advantages of the Party's leadership with the institutional advantages of state governance, and better translate the institutional advantages into effective governance. We will strengthen the ranks of officials, strengthen their ideological and political training, practice, and professional training, and constantly improve their ability and capability to implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, implement the new development philosophy, and build a new development pattern.

People-centered. As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "The 100-year history of our Party is a history of fulfilling the Party's original mission, and a history of the Party and the people being closely connected, breathing together, and sharing a common destiny." The nature and purpose of the Party determine that our Party must always place the people above all else, and realize, safeguard, and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. What the people want, the government wants. Thanks to the sustained efforts of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups in China, we have achieved the first centenary goal and completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects on the land of China. On the other hand, we must recognize that China is still in the primary stage of socialism, and unbalanced and inadequate development remains a constraint on meeting the people's needs for a better life. To pursue a people-centered development philosophy, we must always act in the interests of the people when making decisions and formulating policies, resolutely remove obstacles and constraints to achieving common prosperity and equity and justice, ensure and improve people's wellbeing through high-quality development, and promote more visible and substantive progress in achieving common prosperity. We will always focus on the pressing problems of the people and ensure that employment, income, education, medical care, social security and other matters concerning people's wellbeing are met to better meet their needs for a better life. We should uphold the principal position of the people, ensure that development is for the people, by the people, and its fruits are shared by the people. We should safeguard the fundamental interests of the people, inspire the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of all the people, promote social equity, improve people's wellbeing, and constantly realize the people's aspiration for a better life.

Adhere to the new development philosophy. Whether the concept of development is right or not fundamentally determines the success or failure of development. Xi general secretary pointed out: "since the eighteenth congress, our party scientific judgment about the economic situation, the economic and social development put forward many important theories and ideas, to develop ideas and thoughts to make timely adjustment, which is the most important new development concept and the main, guide the economic development of our country has made historic achievements, historic changes have taken place in." The new development concept is a profound change that affects China's overall development. To fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new vision of development, we must apply it throughout the whole process and in all areas of development, establish a new development pattern, effectively transform the development model, and promote high-quality development. We will fully implement the strategy of innovation-driven development, strive to make advanced science and technology self-reliant and self-reliant, and make key and core technologies controllable. We will continue to promote dynamic balance in development, focusing on addressing such problems as unbalanced development between different regions, uncoordinated development between urban and rural areas, unbalanced industrial structure, and economic and social development with one leg long and the other short. We should enhance sustainability through green development, uphold the belief that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and build a community of human and natural life. We should continue to open wider to the outside world, both bring in and go global, expand domestic demand and enhance the interaction between external demand, and form a strong attraction to global factor resources with a strong domestic economic circulation system and a solid basic disk. We should continue to pursue common prosperity, make the pie bigger and share it equally so that the fruits of development benefit all the people in a more equitable manner.

We will continue to deepen reform and opening-up. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that "reform and opening-up is the only way to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." To deepen reform and opening up, we must continue to carry out deep-seated reform, remain problem-oriented, deepen reform in important areas and key links, and remove institutional barriers that hinder high-quality development and a quality of life. We will continue to be goal-oriented, promote integrated, coordinated and efficient reforms in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological fields, and ensure that all reforms complement each other and interact with each other in a sound way. We will be results-oriented, formulate scientific, reasonable and feasible implementation measures, and promote high-quality development with tangible results of reform. We must unswervingly open wider to the outside world, open wider to the outside world, and continue to improve the layout of China's open space. We will open up more sectors, continue to relax market access, further improve the business environment, and form a two-cycle system of smoother domestic and international connectivity. We will deepen opening-up, improve the opening-up system, promote high-quality belt and Road development, and make greater contributions to the world while developing ourselves. Comprehensively deepening reform is closely linked to implementing the new development philosophy and building a new development pattern. Reform plans should be introduced with greater precision and the key role of comprehensively deepening reform in building a new development pattern should be played.

Adhere to the system concept. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has pointed out that "the system concept is a fundamental thinking and working method." "We must proceed from the system concept in planning and solving the problem, and comprehensively and coordinated our work in all fields and the socialist modernization drive." Adhering to the system concept is a principle that must be followed in economic and social development during the 14th Five-year Plan period, which provides basic methodological guidance for economic and social development. To adhere to a systematic approach, we must strengthen forward-looking thinking, look ahead and plan ahead, coordinate both domestic and international situations, and ensure the success of development and security. We will strengthen overall planning and make overall plans, give full play to the institutional advantage of "sticking to the principle of the whole country playing chess and concentrating resources to accomplish major undertakings", and give full play to the initiative of both the central and local governments to support local governments in creatively carrying out their work. Strengthen strategic layout, and actively for the goals and tasks "difference" in six aspects, focus on solid foundation, Yang advantage, for short, strong or weak, promote economic development, reform and opening up new strides to get new results, to enhance social civilization degree to get a new, ecological civilization construction to achieve new progress and well-being of the people's livelihood reached a new high, governance efficiency improved new; We should promote development in a holistic way, make development more coordinated as a whole, strengthen weak areas, sectors, and links, tap development potential and sustain development by shoring up areas of weakness, and achieve a balanced development in terms of quality, structure, scale, speed, efficiency, and security.

The principle we must follow for economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period is that it is an organic whole, highly coupled and indivisible, but each has its own focus and supports each other. Upholding the party's overall leadership is the primary principle we must follow. Only by upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership can we provide a strong political guarantee for comprehensively building a modern socialist country. A people-centered approach to development embodies the Party's nature, purposes, original aspiration, and mission. Only by adhering to the people-centered thinking on development can we develop a correct outlook on development and modernization. Adhering to the new concept of development Answered a series of theoretical and practical questions about the purpose, impetus, means and path of development, and clarified the Party's political position, value-orientation, development model and development path on development. Persisting in reform and opening up is crucial to the destiny of contemporary China. We need to give greater priority to strengthening the integration of reform systems and ensuring that reform is implemented and delivers results. It is a basic thought and working method to adhere to the system concept. Only by starting from the system concept can we comprehensively and harmoniously promote all fields of work and advance socialist modernization. We must fully understand these principles and strive to achieve the main goals for economic and social development during the 14th Five-year Plan period.
