As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "Reform and opening up is a crucial move that will determine the destiny of contemporary China and the realization of the Two Centenary Goals and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Over the past four decades and more since reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements in development in all fields. China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, overall national strength and people's living standards have all reached new heights, and China has achieved miracles of rapid economic growth and long-term social stability rarely seen in the world. The people have a much greater sense of fulfillment, happiness and security. Why did reform and opening up achieve great achievements that attracted worldwide attention? We can sum up many reasons from different angles, but the following aspects are undoubtedly the most important success code among them.

Strong leadership core. China is a big developing country with a population of more than 1.4 billion. Only with a strong core of leadership can it unite such a large population and form a powerful force for reform, opening up and economic and social development. The Communist Party of China is precisely this strong leadership core. Our Party has established a scientific and rigorous organizational system composed of the Party's central, local and community-level organizations, and has formed a strong organizational mobilization capability. At the same time, our Party adheres to democratic centralism as its fundamental organizational principle. It not only fully promotes intra-Party democracy, but also upholds the centralized, unified leadership of the Central Committee, so as to ensure the unity, unity and concerted action of the whole Party, and ensure that the decisions of the Party are implemented promptly and effectively. Thanks to the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we have been able to keep reform and opening-up moving in the right direction, successfully tackle major risks and challenges, overcome a series of difficulties and obstacles, and make great achievements.

Firm stand of the people. Reform and opening up is the cause of the Party and also the cause of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. The purpose of reform and opening up is to liberate and develop the productive forces, constantly improve the people's living standards, and realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. The great achievements of reform and opening up have been made mainly because the Party has always adhered to the vision of people-centered development, and has deeply rooted reform and opening up among the people, thus winning their wide support. It is fair to say that in the course of reform and opening up, every breakthrough and development we have made in understanding and practice, and every piece of experience we have created and accumulated, have come from the practice and wisdom of hundreds of millions of our people. China's reform and opening up will gain an inexhaustible source of strength when we gain momentum from the people's pursuit of creativity and development and let them share in the fruits of reform and opening up.

Scientific thought guide. Since the introduction of reform and opening up, our Party has adhered to the guiding position of Marxism, constantly promoted theoretical innovation on the basis of practice, and used developing theories to guide developing practice. We have applied Marxism to understand the general trend of world development, analyzed new changes in China's national conditions and the Party's mood, and concluded that peace and development are the themes of our times, ushering in a new historical era of reform and opening up. We made the important judgment that China is still and will remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time to come, and formulated the Party's basic line for the primary stage of socialism. We will make the right decisions to carry out the great new project of Party building in a spirit of reform and innovation, and ensure that our Party always stays at the forefront of The Times and remains the firm core of leadership in reform, opening up and socialist modernization. With great political courage and wisdom, we pointed out that the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform is to improve and develop the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and modernize China's system and capacity for governance. Our reform is characterized by all-around efforts, breakthroughs in many areas, rapid and steady steps, and in-depth progress. In the historical process of reform and opening up, our party has bravely promoting theoretical innovation and practice innovation, system innovation, cultural innovation, and innovation, innovation to the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics with distinct characteristics and theoretical characteristics, ethnic characteristics, time characteristics, formed the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, theory, system, culture, and to ensure the reform and opening to the outside line zhiyuan.

The right approach to reform. In the course of more than 40 years of reform and opening up, our Party has always adhered to the dialectical and historical materialist worldview methodology, and constantly deepened its understanding of the laws of reform and opening up. It has always been committed to emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with The Times, and seeking truth and pragmatism. It attaches great importance to investigation and research, and enhances its ability and capability through in-depth study of new situations and continuous solution of new problems. We will constantly improve our ability to think strategically, historically, dialectically, innovatively, law-based, and bottom-line, and make our work more scientific, predictable, proactive, and creative. We will always adhere to the concept of systems, pay attention to the mutual reinforcement and positive interaction of various reforms, and form a strong synergy for advancing reform and opening up. We have always adhered to the general keynote of the seek improvement in stability work, focusing on the systematic, holistic and coordinated nature of reform, and encouraging bold experiments and breakthroughs to deepen reform and opening up. We have always adhered to the unity of problem-oriented and goal-oriented, made resolving conflicts and solving problems the breakthrough point for deepening reform, and overcome one difficult problem after another in the reform. We will continue to forge ahead in a steady and steady manner, draw a blueprint to the end, and continue to achieve new victories in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.
