Beijing, China — An article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, is set to be published on Sunday, highlighting the nation’s commitment to high-quality development. The piece will appear in the 12th issue of Qiushi Journal, the CPC Central Committee’s flagship magazine.
Xi, who is also the Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, underscores in his article the critical transition of China’s economy from rapid growth to a phase of high-quality development. The article consists of selected excerpts from his discourses spanning from October 2017 to March 2024, reflecting his long-standing emphasis on this strategic shift.
According to the article, high-quality development is identified as the central theme of China’s economic and social progress during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) and beyond. It is deemed the foremost task in the journey towards building a modern socialist country in all respects.
“High-quality development is essential to meet the people’s ever-growing desire for a better life,” Xi states. He highlights the shift from merely pursuing growth to seeking better, more sustainable growth that enhances the quality of life for all citizens.
The article outlines key objectives, including accelerating efforts to achieve greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology. It calls for the swift creation of a new development pattern and the cultivation of new, high-quality productive forces.
Xi emphasizes that different regions across China should embark on paths of high-quality development tailored to their unique circumstances and realities. This localized approach aims to optimize the strengths of each region, fostering balanced and inclusive national progress.
The article also stresses the importance of promoting in-depth reform and high-level opening up in a coordinated manner. It advocates for the alignment of high-quality development with high-level security, improving assessment and evaluation systems to promote these goals effectively.
Furthermore, Xi calls for planning major initiatives to deepen overall reform, continuously injecting strong impetus into advancing high-quality development and the broader objective of Chinese modernization.
The publication of this article in Qiushi Journal signifies the CPC’s focus on guiding China’s future development trajectory. It serves as a strategic blueprint for policymakers, industries, and local governments to align their efforts with the national vision for sustained and quality growth.
