sailing bravely through the wind and waves — China’s high-quality economic development in 2021
CCTV news (news broadcast): 2021 is a milestone year in the history of the party and the country. Standing at the historical intersection of the “two centenaries”, we will start a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Facing the complex and severe situation outside China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core calmly responded to the changes in the century and the epidemic situation in the century, adhered to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, completely, accurately and comprehensively implemented the new development concept, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern and promoted high-quality development. China’s economy bucked the wind and broke the waves, made a good start to the 14th five year plan with strong toughness and forge ahead, and took solid steps to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
In the first three quarters of 2021, China’s GDP was 82.31 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.8%, higher than the expected target of more than 6%. Under multiple shocks, China’s economy has shown strong resilience with large aggregate, stable growth rate and sufficient potential for development. Its economic development has maintained a leading position in the world and continuously injected new impetus into the difficult recovery of the world economy. Many international institutions have also made positive predictions on the growth rate of China’s economy in 2021.
In 2021, the world is struggling in uncertainty. Over the past year, the International Monetary Fund, OECD and other international institutions raised and lowered their expectations for global economic growth, highlighting the difficulty of the recovery of the world economy. The external environment is complex and severe. China’s economy is also facing tests. China’s economic recovery is still unstable and unbalanced. In the face of the complex and changeable situation outside China, Xi Jinping General Secretary acted according to his plan and took the helm. At the beginning of the year, two important meetings were held within one month. A meeting for major provincial and ministerial leading cadres. Another meeting was the first collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in 2021. The two meetings focused on the same theme: grasp the new development stage, deeply implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, promote high-quality development during the 14th Five Year Plan period, and ensure a good start and good steps in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. In the face of the changeable external environment, Xi Jinping general secretary gives a scientific judgment, and the time and potential are on our side. This is not only our determination and confidence, but also our determination and confidence.
Firmly grasp the important strategic opportunity period of development. This year, the general secretary of Xi Jinping made several important arrangements to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern from top-level design to specific measures around the themes of self-reliance in science and technology, deepening and upgrading of industrial chain supply chain, strengthening the construction of modern circulation system, carbon peak and carbon neutralization. This year, Xi Jinping general secretary’s footprints covered 11 provinces, cities and autonomous regions across the country, from the depths of Wumeng Mountain to Bamin, from the snowy plateau to the estuary of the Yellow River, paying attention to high-quality development of manufacturing industry, rural revitalization, ecological protection, food and energy security and major projects, so as to speed up the implementation of a new development pattern and stimulate new advantages of high-quality development.
Dancing against the wind. In the first year of the 14th five year plan, based on the new development stage, we have fully, accurately and comprehensively implemented the new development concept and accelerated the construction of a new development pattern. China’s economy with high-quality development is bursting out with strong new vitality. The new pattern and new vitality come from the surge of innovation. China’s space station appeared for the first time this year in a 400 km space orbit. The “artificial sun” successfully “burned” for 101 seconds at 120 million degrees Celsius, setting a new world record for thermonuclear fusion; “Deep sea No. 1” ultra deep water atmospheric field was officially put into operation. In 2021, a series of breakthroughs in scientific fields, from basic science and major cutting-edge technologies to core technologies in the industrial chain, from vaccine research to agricultural breeding, will continue to make innovation the driving force for high-quality development.
The new pattern and vitality come from the gradual optimization of China’s economic structure. In the first three quarters of this year, the added value of the service industry accounted for 54.8% of China’s GDP, continued to exceed “half of the country”, and the contribution rate of the service industry to economic growth reached 54.2%. Industrial upgrading has been steadily promoted, and the added value of high-tech manufacturing above designated size has maintained double-digit strong growth for ten consecutive months. The manufacturing industry is becoming the most solid foundation for China’s economic development. “Lighthouse factory” represents the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitization in the manufacturing industry. Each light spot on this “lighthouse factory” distribution map represents a “lighthouse factory”. As of September this year, China has the largest number of 90 “lighthouse factories” in the world, with a total of 31. These advanced factories lead the digital transformation of China’s manufacturing industry and continuously improve the quality and upgrading.
The new pattern and new vitality also come from the domestic demand potential stimulated by the “blocking points” opened up. On the snowy plateau with an altitude of 3000 meters, Fuxing EMU came for the first time this year. From Lhasa to Nyingchi, the one-day journey was shortened to three and a half hours. Traffic “blocking points” are getting through, and the logistics network is more smooth. On the China Express big data platform, a light spot is an express network. At present, more than 80% of the country’s organic villages have realized express delivery to the village, an increase of 30 percentage points over the beginning of the year. Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) the continuous improvement of circulation efficiency has become an important support for the smooth circulation of China.
The new pattern and new vitality come from the vivid practice of unblocking China’s international double cycle. In the first 11 months of this year, China’s total import and export value of goods trade increased by 22% year-on-year. Under the situation of blocked global supply chain, China’s economy has become the stabilizer of world trade with strong manufacturing capacity, industrial supporting capacity and market competitiveness. Since this year, the service industry has expanded its opening-up, expanded its comprehensive pilot, and issued 33 financial reform measures. One by one, the open cooperation platforms of the Canton Fair, the service trade fair, the China Import and export fair and the Consumer Fair have outlined a grand picture of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern.
The new pattern and new vitality are contained in the unremitting efforts to create a better life for the people. Meeting the needs of the people is the fundamental force to promote high-quality development. In 2021, we will make positive progress in comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, determine 160 national key assistance counties for rural revitalization, and introduce a number of preferential support policies. The development of rural industries in various regions was accelerated, the rural construction action was launched and implemented, and the efficiency of rural governance was effectively improved. We will promote the equalization of basic public services with high quality. By the end of October, 53400 old urban communities had been newly renovated in China, and public financial investment in education, medical care, pension and other areas of people’s livelihood was also increasing.
The new pattern and new vitality are contained in major projects facing the future. Since the beginning of this year, the major projects identified in the 14th five year plan have been implemented, outlining a new map of the future economic blood, and becoming a pioneer in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
The journey is long, only struggle. Based on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and start the “14th five year plan”, the Chinese giant ship is sailing towards a better tomorrow along the road of high-quality development!
