What principles must be followed to promote sustained and healthy economic and social development?

First, adhere to the people's dominant position: the people are the fundamental force to promote development. Putting the "people" in the first place highlights the "people-centered development thinking", and our party always puts the people in the highest position in our hearts. The people are the creators of history and the main body and source of strength to transform the world.

Second, adhere to scientific development: scientific development is the foundation of development. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "the essential requirement for China to adhere to development is to adhere to scientific development." This important conclusion is regarded as an important principle that must be followed in the Proposal of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.

Third, persist in deepening reform: deepening reform is a powerful driving force for development. This principle is very important, and it is a very important guarantee to ensure that we complete the 13th Five-Year Plan as scheduled and realize the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

Fourth, adhere to the rule of law: ruling the country according to law is a reliable guarantee for development. To achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we must make the society full of vitality, harmony and order. How to achieve it? This is to comprehensively deepen reform, remove all institutional and institutional obstacles, provide development momentum, and release social vitality. At the same time, we should guide these vitality in an orderly manner and bring them into the track of rule of law.

5. Insist on coordinating the two overall situations at home and abroad: China has entered a critical stage of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China's interaction with the international community is getting closer and closer, its dependence on and participation in the world are deepening, and the world's influence on China is also deepening. To observe and plan reform and development, we must consider and comprehensively apply two domestic and international markets, two resources and two rules.

6. Adhere to Party leadership: Party leadership is the fundamental political guarantee for development. The leadership of the Party is the greatest advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and the fundamental political guarantee for the sustained and healthy development of the economy and society. It is extremely difficult and complicated to establish and develop a new system. Only under the leadership of the Party can we overcome difficulties and build and develop a new system in a down-to-earth manner. Fundamentally speaking, to govern the country, we must first govern the party, and the party must be strict.

First, uphold the party's leadership over all work and constantly strengthen and improve the party's leadership. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening-up has inspired us that the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. The party, the government, the army and the people learn from the east, the west, the north and the south, and the party is the leader of everything.

Second, we must persist in taking the people as the center and constantly realize the people's yearning for a better life. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening-up has inspired us that it is the initial intention and mission of China producers to seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, as well as the initial intention and mission of reform and opening-up. Let the people enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up and encourage them to devote themselves more consciously to the cause of reform and opening up and socialist modernization.
