The Deep Logic Of The Spirit Of The Central Economic Work Conference

At the end of the year, new grain comes into the warehouse and auspicious snow falls everywhere. The Central Economic Work Conference sent out many important signals, which have been hotly debated by all walks of life in recent days. What is the underlying logic of the conference spirit? Let's focus on this today.

Since it is a "work meeting", of course we have to talk about work - summarizing this year, judging the situation, and making plans for next year. And it is thought that leads the work. All the Central Economic Work Conferences since the new era are an important window for interpretation of Xi Jinping's economic thought and an important carrier for learning and understanding this thought.
Less than two months after the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2017 summarized the main contents of Xi Jinping's Economic Thought for the first time with the "Seven Persistences". After that, every year, we will summarize the "regular understanding of economic work well" based on the latest situation and practice.

Opening the first and second volumes of "Selected Readings of Xi Jinping's Works", the important speeches of the Central Economic Work Conference appear as a separate chapter, which are "Third Selections" - in addition to summarizing the "Seven Perseverances" in 2017, there is also a talk about China's economic development in 2014 Entering the new normal, let's talk about five major theoretical and practical issues in the new development stage in 2021.

The "five musts" proposed this year reflect the further enrichment and development of Xi Jinping's economic thinking. There are many new important expressions:

--"Adherence to high-quality development must be regarded as the last word in the new era", which is in line with "development is the last word" and has higher requirements for the "upgraded version".

--"Promoting Chinese-style modernization must be regarded as the greatest political priority." A clear-cut banner is conducive to gathering the greatest consensus and gathering the greatest synergy.

The "new formulation" is important, as is the restatement. For example, "promote the economy to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth." This requirement has been repeatedly emphasized since the Central Economic Work Conference last year. This meeting proposed to grasp the relationship between "speed and quality" and "development and security", which is closely connected with this sentence.
With a systematic perspective, we can look at the nine key tasks for next year and find the inner connections among them:

--One of the nine aspects of work is "deepening reforms in key areas." But in next year's economic work, reform will not only account for 1/9. Reform tasks are included in the work arrangements in the other eight areas. As the meeting emphasized, "we must persist in relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous power of development."

--One of the nine aspects of work is to "effectively protect and improve people's livelihood." Similarly, we cannot think that people's livelihood only involves 1/9 of the work. The construction of a modern industrial system can bring new employment opportunities, and efforts to expand domestic demand include "increasing the income of urban and rural residents" and other requirements. Opening up to the outside world, urban and rural integration, regional coordination, and green development all include people's livelihood.

Profound ideological logic, systematic concepts throughout the entire article, clear problem orientation, awareness of worries, and strong demands for progress and development will--to deeply understand the spiritual essence of this annual meeting, vertically, it needs to be put into the history of national rejuvenation In the process; in the horizontal direction, we need to be put into the world's major changes unseen in a century.
"If you see it right, do it quickly, and do as much as you can." Vivid words actually carry a lot of weight.

The underlying logic of the meeting spirit is:

--When climbing over a hurdle, we must not stop or slow down, but must form a stronger forward momentum.

--Based on yourself, major development opportunities are in front of you, and whoever takes the initiative will own them.

--Looking at the world, in the stormy sea, whoever can hold steady will have the future.
