The characteristics of the times are reflected in coordinating the overall domestic and international situations and closely integrating the promotion of comprehensively deepening reforms with participating in the reform and construction of the global governance system.
The comprehensive deepening of reform is carried out under the conditions of an era when socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, scientific socialism has entered a new stage, and the world today is experiencing new changes. Comrade Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on comprehensively deepening reforms carry out overall planning and top-level design from a broader perspective, integrating comprehensively deepening reforms and modernizing the national governance system and capabilities while promoting the reform and construction of the global governance system and realizing the democratization of international relations. The combination of the rule of law and the rule of law reflects the sense of mission and responsibility of contemporary Chinese Communists.
From the perspective of promoting the comprehensive deepening of reforms in the country, the overall goal of the reforms is comprehensive and is positioned to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities; the areas covered by the reforms are comprehensive, and in promoting economic, political, While promoting the "five-in-one" reform of culture, society, and ecological civilization, we will promote the reform of the party building system, national defense and military reform, etc.; the strategic layout guiding the reform is comprehensive, and the "four comprehensives" strategic layout will be coordinated and promoted; the struggle for reform The direction is also comprehensive, to achieve comprehensive development and comprehensive progress of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The foundation of comprehensively deepening reform is reform, the focus is comprehensiveness, and the key is deepening. The deepening is mainly reflected in the comprehensive efforts, multi-point breakthroughs, and in-depth advancement of reforms. It is also reflected in the fact that major reform measures must achieve breakthroughs in important areas and key links. It is also reflected in the comprehensive deepening of reforms and participation in the global governance system. In terms of the linkage of reforms, that is, actively create a good external environment with friendly political relations, favorable economic and trade rules, and broad development space, make more Chinese voices and inject more Chinese elements into the formulation of international rules, and promote the formation of a more fair and reasonable global governance. The system contributes Chinese wisdom and Chinese power.
From the perspective of promoting the reform and construction of the global governance system, Comrade Xi Jinping keenly grasps the general trend of the world and emphasizes that China cannot be a bystander or follower in the transformation of the global governance system, but must be a participant and leader. He proposed the "three commons" concept of global governance: extensive consultation, joint contribution and sharing; he proposed the "four commons" concept of global governance: the destiny of the world should be jointly controlled by all countries, international rules should be jointly written by all countries, and global affairs should be jointly controlled by all countries. It is jointly governed by all countries, and development results should be shared by all countries. Comrade Xi Jinping also elaborated on China’s basic proposition of “three promotions” for participating in global governance, namely, promoting the G20 to complete the transformation from a crisis response mechanism to a long-term governance mechanism, promoting the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other international economic and financial organizations. Effectively reflect the new changes in the international landscape and promote equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal rules for all countries in international economic cooperation. All of these have a profound impact on increasing the representation and voice of emerging market countries and developing countries in international economic and financial organizations.
Global governance has a broad connotation, involving economic governance, health governance, climate governance, international and regional security governance, etc. Among them, global economic governance is the key. At the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit, Comrade Xi Jinping explained a global economic governance concept that is based on equality, guided by openness, driven by cooperation, and aimed at sharing. At the same time, he also proposed four major priorities for global economic governance: jointly build a fair and efficient global financial governance structure and maintain the overall stability of the world economy; jointly build an open and transparent global trade and investment governance structure, consolidate the multilateral trading system, and unleash global economic and trade investment. Cooperation potential; jointly build a green and low-carbon global energy governance pattern, promote global green development cooperation; jointly build an inclusive and interconnected global development governance pattern, with the goal of implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and jointly enhance the well-being of all mankind. This series of important propositions embodies Chinese wisdom in global governance and has the distinctive characteristics of leading the times.
In Comrade Xi Jinping’s series of propositions on comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting the reform and construction of the global governance system, there is an important proposition not to make subversive mistakes and not to engage in subversive reforms. He emphasized the need to continuously promote the self-improvement and development of the socialist system and emphasized that subversive mistakes must not be made on fundamental issues. He pointed out that the current international order is not perfect, but as long as it is based on rules, oriented toward fairness, and aimed at win-win situations, it cannot be abandoned at will, let alone toppled and started over. It can be seen that the reform and construction of the global governance system advocated by China is to reform and improve the current international order and global governance pattern, rather than starting from scratch. This is not only an important manifestation of the internal consistency of the Chinese Communist Party's domestic and foreign affairs logic, but also a vivid manifestation of its high responsibility for the development interests of the Chinese nation and the development interests of the world.
The characteristics of the times are reflected in the fact that reform and innovation work in the same direction to promote the construction of a socialist modern China and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Comrade Xi Jinping's important thoughts on comprehensively deepening reforms conform to the trend of the times that today's world is a world of innovation and China's development is inseparable from innovation. It emphasizes that development is the first priority, talent is the first resource, and innovation is the first driving force. He scientifically grasped the dialectical and unified relationship between reform and innovation, pointing out that innovation is the new engine of development and reform is the indispensable ignition; comprehensively deepening reform is to broaden the path for innovation and activate the innovation engine at full speed. These important expositions have opened up the internal logic of reform and innovation, inspired strong innovation, promoted reform and innovation in the same direction, and promoted the internal and external linkage of modernization.
The all-round innovation promoted by our party since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is not only reflected in theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, etc., but also in the original practice of promoting supply-side structural reform. The core of supply-side structural reform, which is consistent with the implementation of new development concepts, promotion of high-quality economic development and comprehensive deepening of reform, is to promote innovation of systems and mechanisms. The focus is to use reform methods to promote structural adjustment, optimize the allocation of existing resources, and reduce inefficiency and low cost. End supply, expand high-quality incremental supply, especially mid-to-high-end supply, and promote a higher level of dynamic balance between supply and demand. After several years of hard work, my country's economic structure has been continuously optimized, the quality of the supply system has been continuously improved, emerging industries such as the digital economy have flourished, the economy has achieved medium-to-high growth, and the overall stable and positive development trend has been further consolidated.
The essential feature of reform is innovation. One of the distinctive features of the close integration of reform and innovation with development and innovation in the new era is reflected in the fact that problems emerge from development and issues are made through reform. The new development concept creatively proposed by Comrade Xi Jinping and unswervingly implemented has shifted from innovative development that focuses on solving the problem of development momentum, to coordinated development that focuses on solving the problem of unbalanced development, green development that focuses on solving the problem of harmony between man and nature, and focuses on solving the problem of internal and external development. The open development of interconnected issues, and then the shared development focusing on solving social equity and justice issues are all problem-oriented, goal-oriented, and value-oriented for comprehensively deepening reforms in the new era. They all demonstrate the mutual promotion and reform of conceptual innovation and practical exploration. Innovation and development go in the same direction.
After unremitting efforts, our country has now gradually built a broad platform for various innovation elements to exert agglomeration effects. Regardless of basic research or applied research, regardless of infrastructure or economic formats, regardless of business models or consumption patterns, the surging momentum of innovation is increasingly bursting out. . From the perspective of scientific and technological innovation alone, my country's scientific and technological strength has now entered an important period from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap, from point breakthrough to system capability improvement. Innovations in some cutting-edge directions have begun to enter the parallel and leading stage. Major scientific and technological achievements such as Tiangong, Jiaolong, Tianyan, Wukong, Mozi, and large aircraft have come out one after another. The "Smart Eye" satellite traveled in space, the quantum computer was successfully developed, the production of seawater rice was tested, the first domestically produced aircraft carrier was launched, and the first trial mining of flammable ice in the sea was carried out. The trains of success and rejuvenation are running across the vast land of the motherland... These innovative achievements are the crystallization of the great innovation and creativity of the people of all ethnic groups across the country under the leadership of our party.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the innovation promoted by our party also shows distinct characteristics of internal and external linkage. At the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out that China has set innovative growth methods as a key topic of the Hangzhou Summit and promoted the formulation of the "G20 Blueprint for Innovative Growth" with the purpose of seeking motivation from innovation and Reform must be dynamic, seize the historic opportunities of innovation, new technological revolution, industrial transformation, and the digital economy, and enhance the mid- to long-term growth potential of the world economy. At the 2018 BRICS Business Forum, he emphasized adhering to innovation leadership and seizing development opportunities. In the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, in the face of new opportunities brought by new technologies, what we can and should do is to seize the opportunities, increase investment in innovation, and realize the conversion of new and old driving forces; fully promote structural Reform, eliminate all institutional obstacles that are not conducive to innovation, and fully stimulate innovation potential and market vitality. This reflects the linkage between China's reform, innovation and development innovation and the world. In early 2017, Comrade Xi Jinping proposed in his speech at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, cleanness and beauty. This pursuit of the goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind is consistent with the "five-in-one" overall goal of socialism with Chinese characteristics to build a socialist market economy, democratic politics, advanced culture, a harmonious society, and ecological civilization. It also reflects the importance of reform and innovation. Internal and external linkage.
Comrade Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on comprehensively deepening reforms also emphasized that comprehensively deepening reforms must properly handle the relationship between top-level design and crossing the river by feeling the stones; emphasizing that more attention should be paid to the systemic, holistic, and coordinated nature of reforms, and reforms and improvements in various fields, Both linkage and integration must form an overall effect and achieve overall results in the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities; it is emphasized that reform and the rule of law should be promoted simultaneously, reform should be promoted under the rule of law, the rule of law should be improved during reform, and the rule of law should be actively used to guide reform. , promote, standardize, and guarantee the role of reform; emphasize the integration of comprehensively deepening reforms under the leadership of our party with comprehensive and strict governance of the party, and use the party’s self-revolution to promote the great social revolution led by the party; emphasize that under the leadership of the party In the social revolution and the Party's self-revolution, we must advance reforms with perseverance, dare to attack the stubborn diseases that have accumulated for many years, dare to touch on deep-seated interest relationships and contradictions, resolutely break through the shackles of ideological concepts, and resolutely break the entrenchment of interests. Barriers; Emphasizing that our party must show a new atmosphere and new actions in the new era, it must not only comprehensively deepen reforms to the end, but also carry out the great social revolution led by the party and the party's great self-revolution to the end; etc. This has long-term guiding significance for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, realizing the first centenary goal, taking advantage of the situation to start a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, and marching towards the second centenary goal.
