Return to TopThe rivers and mountains add to the beauty, and the land of China is full of spring. On March 5th, the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人大) solemnly opened in Beijing (北京). Nearly 3,000 National People's Congress (全国人大) deputies, entrusted with the people's expectations, gathered in the capital to jointly discuss the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五) development plan and jointly plan a new chapter in the construction of Chinese-style modernization. We express our warm congratulations on the opening of the conference!
A very extraordinary year, engraving remarkable footprints of struggle. In 2025, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, we overcame difficulties and strived forward, effectively responding to the complex and volatile domestic and international situation, handling many major events, and successfully completing the main goals and tasks of economic and social development for the whole year. China's economy has moved forward against pressure, developing towards new and better directions, continuing to rank among the top major economies in the world with a growth rate of 5%, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality. Innovative achievements in fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biomedicine have emerged in succession, and China has become one of the economies with the fastest-growing innovation capabilities, continuously stimulating momentum and advantages. Drawing strength from the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and consolidating consensus with global governance initiatives, China is increasingly becoming a "certainty oasis" in a turbulent world, demonstrating its responsibility as a major country.
An extremely unusual five years, creating an amazing Chinese miracle. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" (十四五) period, China's total economic volume continuously crossed new thresholds, achieving a "four-level jump" from breaking through 110 trillion yuan to exceeding 140 trillion yuan, with its contribution rate to world economic growth remaining at around 30%. Economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, and comprehensive national strength have reached new levels, green waters and green mountains have become a beautiful backdrop, the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security have been continuously enhanced, and the new journey towards the second centenary goal has achieved a good start. These have greatly enhanced our ambition, backbone, and confidence to forge ahead and strive for progress, and strengthened our determination and confidence to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
Calmly weathering storms, the more difficult the situation, the more we move forward. The Party and the state have achieved new major achievements, and Chinese-style modernization has taken new solid steps, fully demonstrating the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) profoundly pointed out: "As long as we maintain strategic focus, move forward step by step, and steadily advance stage by stage, the cause of the Party and the state will surely accumulate small victories into great victories, and our goals will surely be achieved."
Institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a country. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" (十四五) period, under the leadership of the Party, the system of people's congresses has continuously demonstrated its strong vitality and significant superiority, providing a solid institutional guarantee for achieving the Party and the people's goals in the new era and on the new journey. In the past year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the National People's Congress (全国人大) and its Standing Committee have closely focused on and actively served the overall work of the Party and the state, performed their duties in accordance with the law, further improved the legal system, enhanced the pertinence and effectiveness of supervision work, deepened and expanded the work of deputies by implementing the newly revised Deputies Law as a starting point, played the role of the NPC in foreign affairs, and steadily promoted the construction of "four organs." All aspects of work have achieved new progress and results, providing a strong guarantee for reform, development, and stability.
This year is the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五), and a good start is half the battle. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party, based on consolidating the foundation and making comprehensive efforts, has deployed strategic tasks concerning the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization during the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五) period, and drawn a grand blueprint for the next five years. At present, China's development faces both strategic opportunities and risks and challenges, and there are increasing uncertain and unpredictable factors. The more ambitious the goals and the more severe the challenges, the more we must strengthen our confidence in the system, give full play to the political advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and support "China's governance" with "China's system" to achieve Chinese miracles. Adhering to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and the rule of law, giving full play to the fundamental political system role of the people's congress system, ensuring that the Party's propositions become the national will and the common action of the people through legal procedures, and ensuring that the Party's theories, lines, principles, policies, and decisions are fully implemented in the work of the state, we will surely be able to firmly grasp the future and destiny of the country and the nation in the hands of the people.
Developing whole-process people's democracy is an essential requirement of Chinese-style modernization. Pooling the wisdom and efforts of everyone, moving forward in the same direction, building consensus, gathering wisdom, and uniting strength are the distinctive advantages of Chinese-style democracy. The people's congress system is an important institutional vehicle for realizing whole-process people's democracy in our country. Upholding, improving, and operating the people's congress system well, closely connecting with the masses, listening to their voices, reflecting their wishes, gathering the wisdom and strength of all parties, and mobilizing the people of all ethnic groups across the country to fully implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, we will surely provide strong support for a good start to the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五). We expect the vast number of deputies to raise their political standing, faithfully perform their statutory duties, speak truthfully, report real situations, offer practical solutions, gather wisdom, build consensus, and broadly seek good strategies, so as to perform their duties well and fulfill their responsibilities for the Party and the people.

Spring tides surge, and all things compete to flourish. On the afternoon of March 4th, the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) in Beijing (北京) welcomed more than 2,000 members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) attending the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC. Shouldering a glorious mission and bearing earnest expectations, the members, full of confidence, attended this grand spring gathering.
The year 2026 marks the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." How to make a good start and take the first step well?
Outside the East Gate of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), the members climbed the steps, expressing their aspirations.
This year, Lu Yuefu (卢跃富), a front-line team leader at Chongqing Haier Washing Machine Co., Ltd. (重庆海尔洗衣机有限公司) and a member of the CPPCC National Committee, will focus on promoting high-quality and full employment, offering suggestions and advice: "Further improve the 'New Eight-Level Worker' vocational skill grade system, so that young people feel that entering the factory is worthwhile for learning, working, and striving for a better future."
"I will closely focus on the needs of high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, focusing on the improvement of the legal system of traditional Chinese medicine, scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, conduct in-depth research, perform my duties and offer suggestions, and promote more high-quality traditional Chinese medicine resources to benefit people's livelihoods," said Tang Xudong (唐旭东), a member of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (中国中医科学院) and a member of the academic department who has been rooted in the field of traditional Chinese medicine for many years.
The auditorium of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was solemn and warm. The emblem of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议) was hung in the center of the rostrum, with ten bright red flags on both sides.
Party and state leaders Xi Jinping (习近平), Li Qiang (李强), Zhao Leji (赵乐际), Cai Qi (蔡奇), Ding Xuexiang (丁薛祥), Li Xi (李希), Han Zheng (韩正), and others were seated on the rostrum to congratulate the opening of the conference.
At 3 p.m., the conference opened. All stood up and sang the national anthem of the People's Republic of China.
Wang Huning (王沪宁), Chairman of the National Committee of the CPPCC, delivered a report on the work of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC to the conference.
The report pointed out that it is necessary to unswervingly adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and firmly grasp the correct political direction; adhere to integrating the Party's innovative theories into daily work and grasping them regularly, enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political guidance, and broadly build consensus; focus on deliberating and offering suggestions for the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and serve the central tasks of the Party and the country with high-quality performance results; give full play to the main role of the members, improve the ability and level of performing duties, work together with one heart and one mind, forge ahead bravely, promote the high-quality development of the people's political consultative conference in the new era and new journey, and contribute wisdom and strength to building a socialist modern country on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Solid results and pragmatic measures, the report won applause from the audience.
"The report is concise and pragmatic, fully reflecting the adherence to the comprehensive leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, reflecting the nature and positioning of the People's Political Consultative Conference, and making people feel the efforts and contributions made by the National Committee of the CPPCC in promoting Chinese-style modernization in the past year," said Wang Yuan (王媛), Dean of the School of Hydraulic Engineering of Hohai University (河海大学).
The People's Political Consultative Conference is for the people, which is a concentrated embodiment of the Party's purpose in the work of the People's Political Consultative Conference. "Every consultation and deliberation, every research and inspection mentioned in the report is closely linked to the concerns of the people's livelihood, and strives to promote the solution of urgent, difficult, and worrying problems for the masses," said Li Xiaoxuan (李孝轩), Chairman of Yunnan Business College (云南工商学院). This year, he will continue to combine his work of performing his duties with his practice of running the school, devote himself to education assistance and social services, and contribute to promoting the balanced development of education and cultivating more outstanding talents.
After completing all the agenda items, the opening meeting ended.
With one heart and one mind, working hard and striving, we will broadly gather people's hearts, build consensus, gather wisdom, and gather strength to achieve a good start for the "15th Five-Year Plan."
"We must always uphold the mission and feelings of performing our duties for the country and fulfilling our responsibilities for the people, focus on the major tasks and strategic measures determined by the '15th Five-Year Plan,' put our careers in our hearts, and shoulder our responsibilities," said Hua Yawei (花亚伟), a second-level professor at Henan Cancer Hospital (河南省肿瘤医院). "I will actively offer suggestions and advice on early screening, early diagnosis, and early treatment of tumors, take responsibility and act, and promote the construction of a healthy China."
"To promote agricultural technology, we must rely on scientific and technological workers to bend down and bow down," said Li Baoju (李宝聚), a researcher at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (中国农业科学院蔬菜花卉研究所). This year, he will continue to go to the front line and plans to produce popular science videos on vegetable planting to answer questions for more farmers.
Welcoming the spring breeze, we embark on a new journey. With the entrustment of the people, the members will conscientiously perform their duties, offer wise words, contribute pragmatic strategies, and plan for long-term actions, making new contributions to the development of the Party and the country.
Return to TopThe "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal clearly states that we must unswervingly follow the path of socialist political development with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and the rule of law, develop whole-process people's democracy, and improve the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics. Today, the theory and practice of whole-process people's democracy are constantly developing and enriching, becoming more profound, and gathering the mighty power of more than 1.4 billion people to create a better life together. Many international people who visit, study, work, and live in China believe that the whole-process people's democracy under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) truly puts into practice the development for the people, the development relying on the people, and the development results shared by the people, has significant institutional advantages, and has made important contributions to enriching and developing human political civilization.
"Solving the urgent and difficult problems of the people through democratic practice"
The rise of governance lies in following the will of the people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的十八大), the institutionalization, standardization, and proceduralization of socialist democracy in China have been comprehensively advanced, and whole-process people's democracy has transformed from a value concept into an institutional form, governance mechanism, and way of life for the people rooted in the land of China.
Huda Masri, a reporter for the Egyptian magazine *Rose al-Yūsuf* (鲁兹尤素福), has visited China many times, and is particularly impressed by her experience of interviewing and reporting on the National People's Congress (全国两会). "The National People's Congress is a window to observe China and understand China, and it is also a vivid embodiment of China's whole-process people's democracy." Huda said that through the discussions and speeches of the deputies and members, he saw the breadth of the deputies and members' attention to people's livelihood topics, and also felt the policy depth of various topics focusing on reform and development. "Chinese-style democracy can effectively reflect grassroots demands, gather people's expectations for a better life, and form a strong synergy to promote social and economic development," Huda said.
In October last year, a friendly delegation from the People's Council of the four northern provinces of Laos came to the "Big Health" professional people's congress representative workstation in Tongxin Road Community (同心路片区) of Wuhua District (五华区), Kunming City (昆明市), Yunnan (云南). "What is different about the 'Big Health' professional people's congress representative workstation?" This innovative form of grassroots democracy has attracted the attention of Sidan Saysone, Vice Chairman of the People's Council of Luang Prabang Province (琅勃拉邦省), Laos.
According to the resident people's congress representatives, Tongxin Road Community is a concentration of relocated residents, with a large number of "the elderly and the young" and urgent health-related needs. The people's congress representatives in Tongxin Road Community focused on collecting opinions and suggestions on major health issues, and conducted lectures and symposiums on health topics of concern to residents to answer questions, bridge information gaps, and jointly discuss new solutions to bottleneck problems. Under the promotion of the people's congress representative workstation, multiple communities in the area actively carried out family doctor contract pilot projects, and the service quality in the fields of maternal and child health care and convenient chronic disease medical treatment has also been significantly improved. "This is precisely institutional innovation based on actual needs, solving the urgent and difficult problems of the people through democratic practice," Sidan said with emotion.
"In China, democracy is not limited to elections, but extends to many aspects such as soliciting opinions on legislation and supervising public affairs." Susan Kumalo, Chief Operating Officer of the National Development Agency of South Africa, told reporters that in 2025, she was sent to China by the National School of Government of South Africa to participate in training, and visited Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海), Kunming (昆明), Yunnan (云南), and other places, witnessing the vivid practice of whole-process people's democracy in the process of Chinese-style modernization. "Through this system, the voices of different groups are systematically incorporated into local governance and decision-making processes." Kumalo said that the construction and practice of China's democratic system revolves around the actual needs of Chinese-style modernization development, and is constantly improving in this process.
"A vivid embodiment of adhering to the people-centered development thought"
The people are the main body of Chinese-style modernization. We must rely closely on the people, respect the people's creative spirit, and gather the wisdom and strength of all the people to promote the continuous development of Chinese-style modernization.
"Is reflecting problems to people's congress representatives through the mini-program like placing an order online when shopping?" "After placing an order through the mini-program, how long will it take for the people's congress representatives to give feedback?"... At the Provincial People's Congress Community Representative Liaison Station in Dongtang Street (东塘街道), Yuhua District (雨花区), Changsha (长沙), Hunan (湖南), Kounova, a Kyrgyz student studying here, curiously scanned the code to open the "Connecting Representatives" mini-program and asked a series of questions, which were answered one by one by the reception staff. "Chinese-style democracy uses innovative methods to more efficiently collect, process, and feedback on the problems encountered by the people. This is a vivid embodiment of China's adherence to the people-centered development thought," Kounova said.
Victoria, from Ukraine, has lived in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江) for 8 years and is currently the women's group leader of the Building Women's Federation in Litaoyuan Community (立涛园社区), Yingfeng Street (盈丰街道), Xiaoshan District (萧山区). Through actively participating in the community's "Youth Coffee Deliberation Hall" democratic deliberation platform, Victoria has gained an in-depth understanding of China's grassroots democratic practices. "Everyone gathers for the time of a cup of coffee and works together to make the community better." Victoria said that in the deliberation activities, neighbors exchange and discuss issues such as the renovation of community public spaces and priority livelihood projects. "Residents discuss residents' affairs, and residents decide residents' affairs." In Victoria's view, this practice effectively enhances the community residents' sense of belonging and ownership, and also improves the precision and refinement of community governance and services.
"Being able to participate in the solicitation of opinions on Chinese legislation makes me feel excited and also feel a heavy responsibility." Li Ximeng, a Danish legislative information officer and founder of Triton Group, said that in 1993, China's first Company Law was promulgated, and he came to Shanghai (上海) to start his business. Over the past 30 years, he has witnessed the continuous revision and improvement of this law. In 2022, he participated in the opinion solicitation meeting of the Hongqiao Street (虹桥街道) grassroots legislative contact point of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会法工委) for the first time, offering suggestions for the Company Law (draft revision).
By the end of 2025, the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会) has established 60 grassroots legislative contact points, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities), driving the establishment of more than 7,800 grassroots legislative contact points by the people's congresses at the provincial and municipal levels, promoting legislation that is more grounded, listens to the people's voices, and gathers the people's wisdom. "As a foreigner who has been developing in China for a long time, my suggestions can be incorporated into legislative considerations, which makes me feel respected and a sense of belonging." Li Ximeng said that grassroots legislative contact points provide an effective and smooth channel for the vast grassroots masses and people from all walks of life to express legislative demands and reflect social conditions and public opinions.
"This democratic system is real, effective, and full of vitality"
As a systematic institutional guarantee for the people being the masters of the country, the successful practice of whole-process people's democracy has effectively promoted the continuous improvement of the modernization level of China's national governance system and governance capabilities, providing valuable experience and inspiration for other countries, especially the Global South countries.
"China's democratic system and practice are deeply in line with the country's development needs and actively adapt to new changes and people's livelihood needs. This democratic system is real, effective, and full of vitality." Shakir Ramay, a consultant for the Global Development Initiative Group of the Sustainable Development Goals Secretariat of the Parliament of Pakistan, said that whole-process people's democracy allows voices from the grassroots to reach the decision-making level more smoothly, so that the wishes and requirements of all sectors of society can be fully presented and integrated, so as to more accurately seek and reach the "greatest common divisor" of the whole society and effectively gather broad consensus. "In-depth research on the development process of this system can promote developing countries such as Pakistan to explore and innovate their own democratic models," Shakir said.
"China's development experience of whole-process people's democracy has important global significance. It shows that democratic development should not simply copy the models of other countries, nor should it be conservative, but should be based on its own reality, focus on the effectiveness of governance, and continuously explore and develop in practice." Kumalo said that China's whole-process people's democracy practice has brought new ideas for the South African government to cope with current development challenges.
"I want to introduce China's development experience of whole-process people's democracy to Egyptian and other countries' readers, so that the world can have a deeper understanding of China and Chinese-style democracy." Huda said that China's continuous exploration, practice, and innovation in democratic systems will provide lasting impetus for the development of Chinese-style modernization, and will also bring new opportunities for world development and prosperity.

Return to TopIn an increasingly turbulent international situation, why is China still widely regarded as a source of confidence for stable expectations? China's certainty comes from the guidance of planning, the resilience of development, and the steadfastness of openness.
On March 4th, the National People's Congress (全国两会) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) kicked off, and international attention focused on Beijing (北京). Observing the direction of China's development in the global coordinates full of variables, a judgment is becoming clearer: facing the complex international environment, China's economy is new and better, resilient and strong, and China is always the most stable, reliable, and active force in the turbulent world.
The World Economic Forum's "Global Risks Report 2026" shows that uncertainty is a definite risk facing the world in 2026. Recently, the global geopolitical situation has further tightened, and the risks facing the world economy have risen accordingly. In an increasingly turbulent international situation, why is China still widely regarded as a source of confidence for stable expectations?
Certainty comes from the guidance of planning. Looking at the history of world economic development, only a few large economies can traverse economic cycles and maintain long-term steady growth. Since the implementation of the first five-year plan in 1953, China has formulated and implemented 14 five-year plans (plans), running one relay after another, creating a miracle of development in human history. Today, the "China Plan" is regarded by the international community as "one of the most distinctive and effective national governance models in the contemporary world."
"The 15th Five-Year Plan," international media is paying attention to the hot words of this year's National People's Congress (全国两会). "A China with clear planning, clear goals, and continuous opening up is a blessing for China and a blessing for the world." said Tibor Thürmer, Chairman of the Hungarian Workers' Party. From the continuous advancement of the construction of a modern industrial system to the accelerated improvement of a modern infrastructure system, from focusing on technological innovation and continuous efforts to the continued acceleration of the green and low-carbon transformation, China's "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal demonstrates a strategic blueprint with a long-term vision, enhances all parties' confidence in China's development prospects, and provides predictable market space and development dividends.
Certainty comes from the resilience of development. Every year, the National People's Congress (全国两会), China's next economic goal is always the focus of intensive interpretation by all parties. In the current context of global development under pressure, China's steady pace is even more anticipated. For some time, many international institutions have successively raised their expectations for China's economic growth this year, reflecting the international community's confidence in China's steady economic growth.
The resilience of the Chinese economy is obvious to all. In 2025, facing the global development environment with increasing risks and challenges, the Chinese economy delivered a bright report card with a growth rate of 5.0%, and the corresponding economic increment exceeded 5 trillion yuan, equivalent to the economic scale of a medium-developed country. In the "longest ever" Spring Festival holiday that just passed, the total consumption of domestic tourists in China increased by 126.4 billion yuan year-on-year, demonstrating the vigorous vitality of the super-large market; the total cross-regional personnel flow in the Spring Festival travel season is expected to reach 9.5 billion person-times, reflecting the surging vitality of mobile China. Looking further, the resilience of the Chinese economy comes from its increasingly strong physique. "'During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China has achieved historic achievements - becoming a technological leader in many key industries, which no developing country has ever done before.'" Former Director of the London Economic and Commercial Policy Department, John Ross (罗思义), attaches great importance to China's framework for the deep integration of science, technology and industry, and believes that "it is this overall framework that enables China to overcome the negative impact of other countries' geopolitical behavior."
Certainty comes from the steadfastness of openness. China's economic operation not only maintains stability and growth, but also always deeply linked with the world economy and shares opportunities with all parties in the world. This is also why Pakistani media gave this comment when interpreting the highlights of the National People's Congress (全国两会) of China: China's policy direction is not only related to the development of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, but will also have a profound impact on global economic growth and the direction of emerging technological revolutions.
At present, China is the main trading partner of more than 150 countries and regions, and has been the world's second largest import market for 17 consecutive years. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's foreign investment has cumulatively paid more than 300 billion US dollars in taxes to host countries. Some American media pointed out that China is "an anchor for the global economy that is currently looking for new growth engines." Since the beginning of the year, economic and trade delegations from many countries have come to China intensively and returned fully loaded. Survey reports recently released by the China German Chamber of Commerce and the American Chamber of Commerce in China show that multinational companies continue to increase their investment in China, demonstrating their confidence and determination to deeply cultivate China.
At a time when the world economy urgently needs a stable anchor, China, which is entering the "15th Five-Year Plan" and moving towards the goal of high-quality development, will always be a trustworthy and reliable partner for all parties, and will continue to provide the most valuable and scarce certainty for the turbulent world.
Return to TopChina's strategic determination to "draw a blueprint to the end" and "do one thing at a time" has cross-border significance in the current era of increasing development challenges.
Recently, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (默茨) , who had just concluded his first visit to China during his tenure, said in a speech about his feelings during the trip: "If you have just returned from China, you will be more clearly aware that we must now make more efforts." This rather straightforward sentiment cannot help but make people wonder: What exactly did Chancellor Scholz (默茨) see during his short two-day trip to China?
There is the determination of pragmatism in sight. In his speech, Chancellor Scholz (默茨) used China as a reference to emphasize that Germany should make efforts to improve productivity, demonstrating that the Chinese experience is receiving more attention from all parties. What Chancellor Scholz (默茨) saw was not only the outstanding performance of Chinese technology companies, but also how a country can transmit the momentum of development to various fields through clear goals. China's development and progress is not achieved overnight, but benefits from clearly defined policy planning, long-term commitment, and a spirit of pragmatic hard work. Whether it is the advanced layout of digital infrastructure, the continuous high investment in scientific and technological research and development, or the commitment to creating a market-oriented, rule-of-law, and internationalized business environment, China is taking one step at a time, transforming the concept of high-quality development into tangible smart cars, robots, and convenient digital life through down-to-earth actions. This strategic determination of "drawing a blueprint to the end" and "doing one thing at a time" has cross-border significance in the current era of increasing development challenges. 2026 is the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal not only outlines a blueprint for China's economic and social development in the next five years, but also provides the world with a "list of opportunities."
There is the sharpness of innovation in sight. Experiencing the urban and highway navigation assisted driving system jointly developed by China and Germany in Beijing, marveling at it as "great technology"; leading a delegation to visit YuShu Technology (宇树科技) in Hangzhou, watching the Spring Festival Gala program "Wu BOT" (《武BOT》) and robot fighting performances on the spot... Chancellor Scholz (默茨) and his delegation felt the speed and vitality of China's technological innovation at close range, unlocked new ways to experience China, aroused high interest in China's innovation ecosystem from all walks of life in Europe, and gave all parties a new understanding of the internal driving force of China's high-quality development in recent years. Some accompanying business representatives recalled that decades ago, German companies helped China's technological progress, and bluntly said that now is the moment when "the teacher becomes the student." The innovative China of "苟日新，日日新，又日新 (gǒu rì xīn, rì rì xīn, yòu rì xīn - "If one day it is new, make it new every day, and again new," refers to continuous self-improvement and innovation)" reveals a spirit of forging ahead and taking the lead, conveying a full sense of the future. The German Handelsblatt pointed out that Germany should learn from China in specific industrial policies, scientific research investment and infrastructure fields, as well as in formulating and implementing strategic plans.
There is the composure of openness in sight. During Chancellor Scholz's (默茨) visit to China, Chinese and German companies reached more than 10 commercial agreements, involving automobiles, machinery, energy, logistics, finance and other industries. In exchanges with the Chinese side, the German business community conveyed a clear signal: in future layouts, China is not just "one of the options," but "the best choice." This emphasis is because they have seen that China always adheres to a cooperative model of equality, mutual benefit, openness and inclusiveness. In recent years, despite the increasing headwinds of protectionism in the international arena, China has always been unafraid of temporary difficulties, does not engage in zero-sum games, but adheres to the belief of win-win cooperation and believes in the power of time. At present, the German government has proposed new development strategies in the fields of technology, innovation, and digital, which are highly consistent with China's development direction of intelligence, greening, and integration during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. Further aligning the development strategies of the two sides will surely achieve a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win results.
Just like many Western leaders who have visited China recently, Chancellor Scholz's (默茨) visit to China was also an in-depth interaction to perceive the real China. "I am leaving for home with a deep impression of this country," he said at the end of his visit. Feeling Chancellor Scholz's (默茨) thoughts and comments, many Chinese netizens pointed out that Germany still has a deep accumulation in high-end manufacturing, precision instruments, vocational education, and the spirit of centuries-old craftsmanship; Germany's cultivation of "hidden champion" enterprises, its adherence to industrial standards, and its emphasis on basic scientific research are still worth learning from China. This attitude of mutual appreciation and mutual reflection is exactly what this era urgently needs. New and old challenges emerge one after another. Only by seeking common ground while reserving differences and learning from each other's strengths can countries better overcome difficulties and achieve common progress.
The German philosopher Leibniz (莱布尼茨) once said, "Only by exchanging our respective talents can we jointly ignite the lamp of our wisdom." Today, China's door to opening up is opening wider and wider, and the conditions for taking a walk and seeing China are becoming more and more convenient. China welcomes more friends from all countries to set foot on this land, to better perceive the myriad phenomena of Chinese-style modernization through personal observation, and to discover more innovative vitality, cooperative sincerity, and development opportunities.
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 4th. Wang Yi (王毅), member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal (费萨尔) on the phone on the 4th.
Faisal (费萨尔) introduced the latest developments in the Middle East situation, stating that Saudi Arabia does not want the region to fall into war, but it is worrying that the conflict is still spreading and has a further tendency to expand. Saudi Arabia has maintained restraint, but also reserves the right to self-defense, and hopes that the crisis can escape the danger of escalation and move towards de-escalation. Saudi Arabia appreciates China's emphasis on regional security and stability and its active role in this regard, and is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China to promote peace and end the war, and to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East as soon as possible.
Wang Yi (王毅) said that the spread and expansion of the Middle East war, affecting Saudi Arabia (沙特) and other Gulf countries, is something China does not want to see. No matter what the reason, the indiscriminate use of force is unacceptable, and any attacks on innocent civilians and non-military targets should be condemned. China appreciates Saudi Arabia's (沙特) restraint and its insistence on resolving differences through peaceful means. It is hard-won for regional countries to achieve reconciliation, and it is worth cherishing and continuing to promote. China has always been a force for maintaining peace and is willing to continue to play a constructive role, and will send a special envoy for Middle East issues to regional countries to mediate. China strongly calls on all parties to stop military actions, return to dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible, and prevent further escalation of the tense situation.
Return to TopThis year marks the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and China's National People's Congress (全国两会) is attracting widespread attention from international media and the international community.
Thailand's *The Nation* published a report stating that China's National People's Congress (全国两会) is an important window for the outside world to observe China's policies. Against the backdrop of increasing global trade challenges, the policy signals released by China through the National People's Congress (全国两会) are not only related to its domestic development but will also have a positive impact on world development.
Egypt's *The Diplomat* magazine published an article saying that the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" will be reviewed and discussed at this year's National People's Congress (全国两会). The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline is a comprehensive demonstration of China's policy orientation, strategic layout, and action plan for the next five years. At the same time, it is expected that the meeting will continue to release signals such as high-quality development and independent innovation in science and technology, which will create new opportunities for other countries to strengthen technological cooperation with China.
*Kazakhstanskaya Pravda* published an article saying that in the economic field, China's development focus is shifting from high-speed growth to high-quality, sustainable growth. It is expected that the National People's Congress (全国两会) will introduce a series of specific measures to focus on strengthening independent innovation in science and technology and promoting green and low-carbon development. At the diplomatic level, China will reaffirm its firm commitment to the path of peaceful development, demonstrate its determination to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, and continue to promote the reform of the global governance system, helping to enhance the representation and voice of developing countries.
"China's National People's Congress (全国两会) has global significance," reported *Pakistan Observer*. China's National People's Congress (全国两会) is a world-renowned political event. The economic growth, industrial development, and trade export targets set at the meeting, as well as major policy deployments in areas such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence innovation, and green and low-carbon transformation, will also have a profound impact on the global economic landscape.
Kyrgyzstan's Kumtor News Agency website reported that China's National People's Congress (全国两会) is not only an important domestic political event, but will also have an important impact on the future economic trends of neighboring countries. The faster China develops, the more prominent Kyrgyzstan's importance as a transit corridor, material supply base, and regional development partner becomes. Therefore, China's National People's Congress (全国两会) is receiving close attention in Central Asia.
Chile's Radio Cooperativa website published an article saying that China's National People's Congress (全国两会) not only leads China's development direction, but will also have a profound impact on the global market landscape, the international trade system, and the process of technological innovation. The article emphasizes that as one of Latin America's most important trading partners and major sources of investment, China's policy direction is closely related to the economic interests and development prospects of Latin American countries.
U.S. media *Eurasia Review* pointed out that China is entering a more mature stage of development. While maintaining reasonable economic growth, it will shift its focus to new quality productive forces and explore a more sustainable development path, promoting the economy to move towards the high end of the value chain.
Europe's *Modern Diplomacy* recently published a signed article stating that China's National People's Congress (全国两会) is of great significance to the Global South, and will strongly promote a more inclusive and multipolar globalization process, injecting new growth momentum into the Global South.

Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 4th. Wang Yi (王毅), member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Abdullah (阿卜杜拉), on the phone on the 4th.
Abdullah (阿卜杜拉) introduced the regional situation and the UAE's position, stating that the UAE is not a party to the war, has not participated in the conflict, and should not be subjected to illegal attacks. The UAE appreciates China's consistent adherence to an objective and fair stance and expects China to continue to play a positive and important role in the current severe situation to prevent the escalation of regional tensions. The UAE will continue to take measures to protect the safety of Chinese personnel and institutions.
Wang Yi (王毅) reiterated China's principled position on the current Iranian situation, stating that the spillover of war is not in the interest of any party, and the only victims will be the people of the region. The red line of protecting civilians in the conflict must not be broken, non-military targets such as energy, economy, and people's livelihood should not be attacked, and the safety of waterways should be maintained. The UAE worked for peace before the war, and the special meeting of the GCC foreign ministers also emphasized that dialogue and diplomacy are the only way to overcome the current crisis and maintain regional security, which China appreciates. China supports the UAE's legitimate demands for safeguarding national security and supports regional countries in continuing to commit to resolving disputes through diplomatic means. China will not give up hope for peace and will continue to play a constructive role in this regard. China will send a special envoy for Middle East issues to the region to mediate and promote the return of the region to peace and stability. It is hoped that the UAE will continue to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions in the UAE.
Return to TopThis newspaper reported from Beijing on March 4th (Reporter Chu Jun (褚君)) Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning (毛宁) stated at a regular press conference on the 4th that the "Group of Friends of Global Governance" has been established in New York and Geneva successively, and has made positive progress in a short period of time, fully demonstrating that the global governance initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping (习近平) meets the needs of the world and conforms to the aspirations of the people.

On March 4th, the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) held a press conference, where spokesperson Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists regarding the agenda of the session and the work of the National People's Congress.
Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) introduced that the session would open on the morning of the 5th and close on the afternoon of the 12th, lasting for 8 days. The agenda of the session includes 11 items, including reviewing the Government Work Report, examining the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, and deliberating on three draft laws: the Ecological Environment Code, the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, and the Law on National Development Planning. All preparations for the session are complete.
Better Play the Strategic Guiding Role of National Development Planning
This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) stated that the session will be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era (习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想), thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的二十大) and the plenary sessions of the 20th Central Committee, earnestly implement the arrangements of the Fourth Plenary Session, uphold, improve, and operate the system of people's congresses, closely focus on the overall work of the Party and the state, earnestly fulfill the duties conferred by the Constitution and laws, and mobilize the people of all ethnic groups across the country to strive together for the basic realization of socialist modernization.
Formulating and implementing five-year plans is an important experience in the governance of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党). Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) introduced that the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan," based on extensive solicitation of opinions, will be submitted to this session for review and approval and then promulgated for implementation, so that the Party's propositions can be transformed into the will of the state and the common action of the people through legal procedures.
In the long-term practice of formulating and implementing five-year plans, a system arrangement has been explored and formed under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, whereby the Party Central Committee proposes planning recommendations, the State Council (国务院) formulates planning outlines, and the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) reviews and approves them before they are announced to the public. "This session's deliberation of the draft Law on National Development Planning will fix these mature practices in legal form, so as to better play the strategic guiding role of national development planning," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said.
Formulating laws is an important responsibility of the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and its Standing Committee. Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) detailed the legislative "achievements" of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) since its third session: a total of 40 draft laws, legal interpretations, and decisions were deliberated, of which 24 were passed, including the formulation of 6 laws, the amendment of 14 laws, the adoption of 1 legal interpretation, and 3 decisions on relevant legal issues and major issues.
This session will deliberate on the draft Ecological Environment Code. "Through the compilation of a code, the systematicness, integrity, coordination, and timeliness of legislation will be improved," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said. The Ecological Environment Code is the second law in China named with "Code." "The compilation of this code is not a simple compilation of laws, nor is it a completely new creation, but a systematic integration, compilation, revision, and integrated sublimation of the existing ecological environment legal system, mechanisms, and rules."
China's Economy Moves Forward Against Pressure, Developing Towards New and Better
In 2025, the "14th Five-Year Plan" will come to a successful conclusion, with China's economic aggregate exceeding 140 trillion yuan, and its contribution to world economic growth stabilizing at around 30%, injecting more positive energy and certainty into global development.
"Currently, global economic growth is slowing down, and unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise. China's economy is moving forward against pressure, developing towards new and better," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) analyzed. The reasons are that China has the world's largest and most complete manufacturing system; it has a huge consumer market, and in the next 10 years or so, China's middle-income group may exceed 800 million people; it has an unwavering basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, and its policy environment is transparent, stable, and predictable. "China was, is, and will certainly be an ideal, safe, and promising investment destination for foreign businesses," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said.
In 2025, China will implement special actions to boost consumption, the scale of the consumer market will steadily expand, and the total retail sales of consumer goods will exceed 50 trillion yuan for the first time, with consumption contributing 52% to economic growth.
"'Su Chao' is indeed very popular, and I have also watched 'Ne Zha 2.' It should be said that consumption is the main engine driving economic growth." When answering reporters' questions about the consumer market, Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said that this year, we will adhere to expanding domestic demand as a strategic base point, vigorously boost consumption, expand the supply of high-quality consumer goods and services, adhere to the close combination of benefiting the people and promoting consumption, and promote the investment of more resources in the field of people's livelihood, so that the people can consume, dare to consume, and are willing to consume.
"The Party and the state's basic policy of promoting the development of the private economy has been consistent and will not change, nor will it change," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said. Since the Law on Promoting the Development of the Private Economy came into effect in May last year, relevant departments have introduced more than 150 supporting systems, and many provinces and cities have issued corresponding local regulations. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) organized a centralized review of normative documents involving the development of the private economy, urging the revision and abolition of more than 1,400 documents.
"We believe that with the further implementation and implementation of the law, the confidence, foundation, and motivation for the development of the private economy will be more sufficient, the prospects will be broader, and it is the right time for the vast number of private enterprises and private entrepreneurs to 大显身手 (dà xiǎn shēn shǒu - "fully display one's skills," to give full play to one's capabilities)." Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said.
Working with All Countries to Enlarge the "Cake" of Development, Sharing Opportunities, and Creating the Future Together
"China has always maintained that as two major countries in the world, China and the United States should respect each other, coexist peacefully, and cooperate for mutual benefit," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said.
"Since last year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) has maintained frequent communication with President Trump, calibrating the course and injecting momentum into the steady progress of the giant ship of China-US relations. The overall stability and improvement of relations between the two countries has been widely welcomed by both countries and the international community," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said. China is willing to work with the United States to strengthen communication at all levels and through all channels to open up broader space for cooperation between the two sides. At the same time, China also has its own principles and bottom lines and will, as always, resolutely safeguard its own sovereignty, security, and development interests.
2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union (欧盟), and high-level exchanges between China and Europe are close. "President Xi Jinping (习近平) has held multiple meetings with European leaders, reaching important consensus on strengthening the China-EU partnership, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation, and jointly addressing global challenges." Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) listed a series of fruitful results of China-EU pragmatic cooperation: the China-Europe Trade and Logistics Cooperation Park in Hungary has built a platform for two-way interaction between Chinese and European enterprises; the Pelješac Bridge in Croatia, funded by the EU Fund and built by Chinese enterprises, has realized the long-cherished wish of the people.
Facts have proved that Europe needs China, and China also needs Europe. "China is willing to work with the European side to adhere to the basic positioning of the partnership, properly handle economic and trade differences, create more cooperation agendas, and work together to address global challenges," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said.
"Neighboring countries are neighbors that cannot be moved away, and how major countries get along with their neighbors reflects the major countries' worldview, order view, and values. China has always placed its neighbors in the primary position in its overall diplomacy and has always been committed to promoting regional peace, stability, development, and prosperity," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said. "The National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) will continue to strengthen bilateral and multilateral exchanges and cooperation with the legislative bodies of neighboring countries, helping Chinese-style modernization and the development of neighboring countries promote each other and complement each other."
Only an open China can become a modernized China.
"During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, China will continue to steadily expand institutional opening-up, maintain the multilateral trading system, expand the space for two-way investment cooperation, build the 'Belt and Road' with high quality, and work with all countries to enlarge the 'cake' of development, share opportunities, and create the future together," Lou Qinjian (娄勤俭) said.

Two press conferences filled people with pride in China's new development achievements.
At the press conference of the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协), the spokesperson said when talking about development achievements, "Technology and industry are deeply integrated, innovative achievements are emerging, and new quality productive forces are growing vigorously."
At the press conference of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人大), the spokesperson said that 2025 is a crucial year for the domestic humanoid robot industry to achieve breakthroughs in technology and application scenarios, showing us a future full of infinite possibilities.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that technological innovation and industrial innovation are the basic paths for developing new quality productive forces. "Growing vigorously" and "dual leap" vividly interpret the practical power of "seamlessly connecting the innovation chain and the industrial chain."
Observing the Two Sessions (两会), a foreign journalist sighed with emotion, "China often sets goals for itself and then challenges itself."
Promoting national development is inseparable from technological innovation and industrial transformation. From technology to application, from "new" to "prosperity," the key lies in implementation, and the focus is on connection.
Technological leadership does not equal application leadership. Moving towards "new" is valuable in breakthroughs; moving towards "prosperity" emphasizes taking root. No matter how optimized the model parameters are, if they cannot sink into the production line, integrate into practice, and respond to needs, they will ultimately be castles in the air. Planning for the future is not only a "future tense" concept, but also a "present continuous" transformation. Only by transforming innovation into productivity can we open up the future.
Emerging industries are by no means isolated breakthroughs of single-point technologies, but rather the triple engagement of the innovation chain, industrial chain, and demand chain. From "new" to "prosperity," it will inevitably extend throughout the entire chain.
Taking hydrogen energy as an example, China has more than half of the world's committed green hydrogen production capacity. Hydrogen-powered buses run through the streets, hydrogen fuel tractors operate in ports, and "hydrogen-solar complementary" smart microgrids have become new "power banks"... To utilize hydrogen energy, one might look at the industrial chain in Zhangjiagang (张家港), Jiangsu (江苏), where technology is constantly upgraded, costs are effectively reduced, and upstream and downstream enterprises benefit. Achieving a virtuous cycle of technological breakthroughs, industrial support, and demand response, technology moving towards "new" can better serve the "prosperity" of development.
New technology is not an isolated "tower tip" obsession, but rather needs to come down from the "shelf" and onto the "sales floor." From "new" to "prosperity," it will inevitably grow from new scenarios.
In the Nan'an (南安) Direct Reserve Grain Depot (直属库) in Fujian Province (福建省), a smart probe inserted into the grain pile can automatically collect key data such as temperature, humidity, moisture, and insect conditions. Problems that previously relied on manual "turning the grain surface" to discover can now be grasped in time on a mobile phone. Such practical applications turn experience into data and allow algorithms to understand needs. It is precisely because of the emphasis on cultivating scenarios for "facing the four areas" that China has become a global "promotion field" and "application field" for new technologies today.
New technologies empower people with new capabilities and industries with new momentum. Similarly, people can also give technology and industry new space. From "new" to "prosperity," it will inevitably achieve symbiosis through co-cultivation.
In Keqiao (柯桥) textile in Shaoxing (绍兴), Zhejiang (浙江), an AI model relies on 4.21 billion pieces of industrial data to build an intelligent service ecosystem covering "finding fabrics, finding factories, and finding technologies," and designing with "AI cloth" only takes a few minutes. Of course, technology cannot completely replace people. The "Weaving and Dyeing Industry Brain" (织造印染产业大脑) and the "Zhejiang Engineer" (浙里工程师) application platform also gather 89,000 engineers to continuously promote technological optimization.
The value of new technology lies in "translating" human wisdom into system language, and then "transliterating" system capabilities into industrial support. This is a two-way effort and a solid foundation for development resilience.
Moving towards "new" is the path, and moving towards "prosperity" is the landing point; moving towards "new" is ambition, and moving towards "prosperity" is groundedness. As the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五) begins, let the "new" of technology empower the "prosperity" of industry, and transform innovation advantages into development advantages. "This trend and direction are right, and we must speed up."

(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing (新华社北京) March 4)
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 4th. Since the Third Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), CPPCC members, participating units, and special committees have submitted a total of 5,992 proposals, of which 5,061 have been accepted after review, and 99.9% of the proposals have been responded to.
He Baoxiang (何报翔), Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the CPPCC, reported on the work of the proposals since the Third Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC on behalf of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC on the afternoon of March 4th at the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC. He said that the proposals revolve around the grand blueprint of comprehensively building a strong socialist modern country and realizing the second centenary goal, closely focusing on the "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan" and the "Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy," offering insightful suggestions and practical solutions. The suggestions in the proposals play a positive role in comprehensively completing the "14th Five-Year Plan" target tasks, researching and formulating the "15th Five-Year Plan," and promoting high-quality economic and social development.

In terms of political construction, more than 500 proposals were put forward focusing on promoting socialist democratic legal construction, promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, and building a higher level of safe China.

He Baoxiang (何报翔) said that in 2026, it is necessary to unify thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央) with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) as the core, closely focus on the start and step of the "15th Five-Year Plan" to perform duties and offer suggestions, focus on enhancing the synergy of proposal work, continuously improve the quality and efficiency of proposal work, and strive to write a new chapter in the high-quality development of proposal work.
Return to TopThe rivers and mountains are adorned with brocade, and the land of China is filled with the brilliance of spring. On March 5th, the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人大) solemnly opened in Beijing (北京). Nearly 3,000 National People's Congress (全国人大) deputies, entrusted with the great responsibility of the people, gathered in the capital to jointly discuss the grand plan for the "15th Five-Year Plan" and jointly plan a new chapter in the construction of Chinese-style modernization. We express our warm congratulations on the opening of the conference!
A very extraordinary year, engraving remarkable footprints of struggle. In 2025, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, we faced difficulties head-on and strived hard, effectively responding to the complex and volatile domestic and international situation, handling many major and important events, and successfully completing the main goals and tasks of economic and social development for the whole year. China's economy moved forward against pressure, developing towards new and better directions, continuing to rank among the top major economies in the world with a growth rate of 5%, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality. Innovative achievements in fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biomedicine emerged one after another, and China has become one of the fastest-growing economies in terms of innovation, with momentum and advantages constantly being stimulated. Drawing strength from the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and凝聚共识 (níng jù gòng shí - "gather consensus," to form a unified understanding or agreement) with global governance initiatives, China is increasingly becoming an "oasis of certainty" in a turbulent world, demonstrating its responsibility as a major country.
An extremely extraordinary five years, creating an amazing Chinese miracle. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's total economic output continuously crossed new thresholds, achieving a "four-level jump" from breaking through 110 trillion yuan to exceeding 140 trillion yuan, with its contribution rate to world economic growth remaining at around 30%. Economic strength, scientific and technological strength, defense strength, and comprehensive national strength have reached new levels, green waters and green mountains have become a bright backdrop, the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security have been continuously enhanced, and a good start has been made in the new journey towards the second centenary goal. These have greatly enhanced our ambition, integrity, and confidence to forge ahead and strive for progress, and strengthened our determination and confidence to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese-style modernization.
Calmly weathering storms and waves, advancing forward despite difficulties. The Party and the country have made new major achievements, and Chinese-style modernization has taken new solid steps, fully demonstrating the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) profoundly pointed out: "As long as we maintain strategic focus, move forward firmly step by step, and steadily advance stage by stage, the cause of the Party and the country will surely accumulate small victories into great victories, and our goals will surely be achieved."
Institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a country. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, under the leadership of the Party, the system of people's congresses has continuously demonstrated its strong vitality and significant superiority, providing a solid institutional guarantee for achieving the Party's and the people's奋斗目标 (fèn dòu mù biāo - "struggle goals," objectives to be achieved through hard work) in the new era and new journey. In the past year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the National People's Congress (全国人大) and its Standing Committee have closely focused on and actively served the overall work of the Party and the country, performed their duties in accordance with the law, further improved the legal system, enhanced the pertinence and effectiveness of supervision work, deepened and expanded the work of deputies by taking the implementation of the newly revised Deputies Law as a starting point,发挥人大对外交往作用 (fā huī rén dà duì wài jiāo wǎng zuò yòng - "give play to the role of the NPC in foreign affairs," to utilize the NPC's function in international interactions), and solidly promoted the construction of "four organs." All aspects of work have achieved new progress and results, providing a strong guarantee for reform, development, and stability.
This year is the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and a good start is half the battle. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party, based on consolidating the foundation and making comprehensive efforts, deployed strategic tasks concerning the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, and擘画 (bò huà - "to sketch; to outline," to draw up a grand plan) a grand blueprint for the next five years. At present, China's development faces both strategic opportunities and risks and challenges, and there are increasing uncertain and unpredictable factors. The more ambitious the goals and the more severe the challenges, the more necessary it is to strengthen institutional confidence, give play to the political advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and support "Chinese governance" and achieve Chinese miracles with the "Chinese system." Adhering to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and the rule of law, fully发挥 (fā huī - "bring into play," to utilize or exert) the fundamental political system role of the people's congress system, ensuring that the Party's propositions become the national will and the common action of the people through legal procedures, and ensuring that the Party's theories, lines, principles, policies, and decisions are fully implemented in the work of the country, we will surely be able to firmly grasp the future and destiny of the country and the nation in the hands of the people.
Developing whole-process people's democracy is an essential requirement of Chinese-style modernization. Pooling the wisdom and efforts of everyone, moving forward in the same direction,凝聚人心 (níng jù rén xīn - "gather people's hearts," to unite the people),凝聚共识 (níng jù gòng shí - "gather consensus," to form a unified understanding or agreement),凝聚智慧 (níng jù zhì huì - "gather wisdom," to pool collective intelligence), and凝聚力量 (níng jù lì liàng - "gather strength," to unite forces), are the significant advantages of Chinese-style democracy. The people's congress system is an important institutional carrier for realizing whole-process people's democracy in our country. Adhering to, improving, and operating the people's congress system well, closely connecting with the masses, listening to the voices of the masses, reflecting the wishes of the masses, gathering the wisdom and strength of all parties, and mobilizing the people of all ethnic groups across the country to fully implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and solidly doing all the work for the whole year, will surely provide strong support for making a good start and taking a good step in the "15th Five-Year Plan." We expect the vast number of deputies to raise their political stance, faithfully fulfill their statutory duties, speak the truth, tell the real situation, offer practical solutions, gather ideas,凝聚共识 (níng jù gòng shí - "gather consensus," to form a unified understanding or agreement), broadly seek good strategies, and perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities well for the Party and the people.
Having gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and一路跋山涉水 (yī lù bá shān shè shuǐ - "all the way climbing mountains and wading through rivers," to overcome many difficulties and hardships). Now, we have reached a critical period for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and we must run the "key baton" of historical relay well. Unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, profoundly understand the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments," enhance the "Four Consciousnesses," strengthen the "Four Confidences," and achieve the "Two Safeguards," firmly establish the confidence of victory, maintain high morale, and we will surely achieve a good start to the "15th Five-Year Plan" and create new glories on the new journey of Chinese-style modernization.
We wish the conference a complete success!
Return to TopBy: 中共中央党史和文献研究院
This year marks the 140th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武). Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, one of the founders of the People's Republic of China, an outstanding proletarian revolutionary, a Marxist politician and jurist, a member of our Party's first generation of leadership and an important leader of the country. In his more than 60 years of revolutionary career, he "experienced countless hardships and worked tirelessly for the Party," and made indelible and great contributions to the cause of liberation of the Chinese people and to the great cause of communism.
1. Arduously Exploring the Road to National Salvation, Entering the Ranks of the First Group of Marxists in China, and Participating in the Founding of the Communist Party of China
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was born on March 5, 1886, in a poor family of a teacher in Huang'an County (黄安县), Hubei Province (湖北省) (now Hong'an County (红安县)). He received a good enlightenment education from an early age, and passed the imperial examination at the age of 17. During his youth, he witnessed the corrupt and autocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty (清朝) government and the oppression and plunder of the Chinese people by the Western powers, and made a lifelong ambition to save the country and the people.
In October 1911, the Wuchang Uprising (武昌起义) broke out. Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) resolutely rushed to Wuchang (武昌) to join the battle, became a firm anti-imperialist and anti-feudal democrat, and embarked on the path of a professional revolutionary who tirelessly struggled for the cause of liberation of the Chinese people. He followed Sun Yat-sen (孙中山), the pioneer of the democratic revolution, and joined the Tongmenghui (同盟会) and the Chinese Revolutionary Party (中华革命党) successively, participating in the Xinhai Revolution (辛亥革命) and the struggle against the Beiyang warlord Yuan Shikai (袁世凯) with the simple feeling of "doing as much as one can." He was arrested and imprisoned twice, and continued to persist in the struggle after his release from prison, demonstrating a tenacious fighting spirit. Although the Xinhai Revolution (辛亥革命) did not change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature of old China and the tragic situation of the Chinese people, and did not complete the historical task of realizing national independence and people's liberation, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) never stopped exploring.
Under the influence of the Russian October Revolution, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) gradually learned that "the purpose and working methods of the Leninist Party are very different from the purpose and working methods of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's revolution," and began to "think about the Russian and Chinese issues" and began to "talk about Marxism." By comparing and summarizing the experiences of the success and failure of the Russian and Chinese revolutions, he realized that the road of old democracy was unworkable for the Chinese revolution, and "must take the road of Lenin." From then on, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) entered the ranks of the first group of Marxists in China.
In the autumn of 1920, under the guidance of the early Communist Party organization in Shanghai (上海), Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) participated in the founding of the early Communist Party organization in Wuhan (武汉). Subsequently, he and Comrade Chen Tanqiu (陈潭秋) and others carried out revolutionary activities with the private Wuhan Middle School as a base, and established the Socialist Youth League and the Marxist Doctrine Research Association. He called on young students and intellectuals: "New ideas are rushing towards us," "We must naturally devote ourselves to the new movement that is brewing." Under the joint promotion of him and Comrade Chen Tanqiu (陈潭秋) and others, the revolutionary activities in the Wuhan (武汉) area gradually became active.
In 1921, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), as one of the representatives of the early Communist Party organization in Wuhan (武汉), participated in the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China. During the meeting, he participated in drafting the Party Program for discussion at the meeting and the practical work plan for the future, and became one of the founders of the Party.
2. Resolutely Supporting and Actively Practicing the First Cooperation Between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Participating in Various Constructions in the Soviet Area, and Completing the Long March at Nearly Half a Century Old
After the Party was founded, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) served successively as a member of the Wuhan (武汉) District Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China and a member of the Hubei (湖北) District Executive Committee. He participated in the establishment of "People's Night School" to publicize revolutionary ideas to workers and organize workers to learn cultural knowledge; selected revolutionary backbones to carry out revolutionary activities in factories and rural areas to spread the sparks of revolution; and participated in organizing people from all walks of life in Wuhan (武汉) to carry out anti-imperialist patriotic demonstrations to support the anti-imperialist movement of "abolishing the Twenty-One Demands" in Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海) and other places.
During the first cooperation between the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was one of the core leaders of the Great Revolution movement in Hubei Province (湖北省) and Wuhan (武汉), and held important positions in the Kuomintang (国民党) Central Committee, the Hubei (湖北) Provincial Party Department and the government. He made full use of the organizational form of the united front of the reorganized Kuomintang (国民党) to absorb people from all walks of life to participate in revolutionary activities, and built the Hubei (湖北) Kuomintang (国民党) organization into a revolutionary alliance of workers, peasants, urban petty bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie. He sent a large number of Party cadres to the rural areas of Hubei (湖北) to establish peasant association organizations, forming a strong revolutionary momentum, echoing the peasant movements in Hunan (湖南), Jiangxi (江西) and other places, and promoting the rapid development of the Great Revolution to the Yangtze River basin.
In February 1926, the Party Central Committee proposed "preparing the Northern Expedition of the Guangdong (广东) government from all aspects" and instructed Hunan (湖南), Hubei (湖北) and other provinces to "prepare the people to rise up to meet it." In August, the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Hubei (湖北). In order to implement the instructions of the Party Central Committee, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) fully used various relationships to instigate the defection of warlord troops, led the holding of the "Northern Expedition Propaganda Training Class" in Hubei (湖北) and Hunan (湖南), organized the peasant masses to transport ammunition, carry the wounded, and act as guides for the army, effectively supporting the victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army in seizing Wuhan (武汉), and cultivating backbone forces for the revolutionary struggle.
Just as the Northern Expeditionary Army was singing triumphantly and the worker-peasant movement was developing rapidly, the Kuomintang (国民党) rightists stepped up their collusion with imperialism, preparing to openly betray the revolution. Faced with the crisis, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) pointed out sharply: "Reactionary elements who compromise with imperialism and warlords should be severely punished." He also predicted: "All revolutions must be armed." In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek (蒋介石) and Wang Jingwei (汪精卫) successively betrayed the revolution, and the vigorous Great Revolution was defeated. The Kuomintang (国民党) reactionary authorities offered a heavy reward for the arrest of Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武). He was not afraid at all, quickly turned to secret activities, and participated in planning to organize an armed uprising in the eastern Hubei (湖北) area.
In 1928, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was sent to the Soviet Union by the Party to study. After returning to China in 1932, he entered the Central Revolutionary Base Area and served as the vice president of the Marx Communist School, actually presiding over the work of the school, and taught courses such as "Soviet Construction." He aimed at the characteristics of the generally low cultural level of the students, and the lectures were simple and easy to understand. The students recalled that Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) compared the Party to a locomotive and the masses of the people to train carriages. The vanguard role of the Party was like the locomotive driving the entire carriage to sprint forward rhythmically. "Everyone liked to listen to his lectures." In addition, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) also served as the secretary of the Central Party Affairs Committee and the president of the Supreme Court, making outstanding contributions in discipline inspection and supervision and legal system construction.
In October 1934, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), who was nearly half a century old, participated in the Long March. Along the way, he "experienced thousands of mountains and rivers, bitter rain and bleak wind." "The lack of food in the Miao (苗) Mountains and Yi (彝) Mountains, and the camping in the grasslands and snow-capped mountains" could not stop him from moving forward. In the cadre recuperation company of the logistics department's health team, people respectfully called him "a person who never stops," that is, his mind never stops, and he thinks about various emergencies that may occur during the march every day; his hands and feet never stop, and he keeps inspecting every campsite to check whether the personnel are in order and whether the supplies are distributed; his mouth never stops, and he keeps learning about the situation from the masses and reiterating the Party's discipline to the comrades. After arriving in northern Shaanxi (陕西) victoriously, he served as the president of the Central Party School. In an extremely difficult environment, he enrolled students and ran schools in a simple way, and trained a large number of Party backbones for the upcoming national war of resistance against Japan.
3. Devoting Himself to the National War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, Carrying Out United Front Work Effectively, and Making Unremitting Efforts to Prepare for the Founding of New China
In July 1937, after the outbreak of the national war of resistance against Japan, the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party achieved the second cooperation. In 1938, at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Party, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was added as a member of the Central Committee. As a member of the delegation of the Communist Party of China and one of the main leaders of the Yangtze River Bureau and the Southern Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he, together with Comrade Zhou Enlai (周恩来) and others, fought in the Kuomintang (国民党)-controlled areas for a long time, and did a lot of arduous and meticulous work to consolidate and expand the anti-Japanese national united front.
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) successively published many articles, expounding the Party's policy and strategy for resisting Japan. He pointed out clearly: "Resistance will survive, surrender will perish"; "the strategy of saving the country" is the anti-Japanese national united front "with the close cooperation between the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party as the core"; it is necessary to "unify organization and unify action" in "mobilizing the masses and organizing the masses," "carry out universal propaganda and explanation among the masses," and "raise the national consciousness and patriotism of the people of the whole country."
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) used his extensive social influence to vigorously publicize the Party's comprehensive anti-Japanese line and the strategic policy of protracted war put forward by Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东), and forcefully refuted the false claims that the Eighth Route Army (八路军) was "wandering without fighting." As a member of the National Political Council of the Communist Party of China, he carried out a heroic and witty struggle against the anti-communist and surrender activities and remarks of the Kuomintang (国民党) diehards. He participated in leading the founding of the Party's organ newspaper in the Kuomintang (国民党)-controlled area, Xinhua Daily (新华日报), which reported a large number of real situations of the Eighth Route Army (八路军) and the New Fourth Army (新四军) fighting against Japan, and expanded the influence of the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Party. He widely united all democratic parties, patriotic people from all walks of life, local powerful factions and international friends, and made significant contributions to adhering to the cooperation between the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party and carrying out the anti-Japanese democratic movement in the rear.
From April to June 1945, the Chinese delegation, including Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), a representative of the Communist Party of China, attended the United Nations Constitutional Conference held in San Francisco (旧金山), USA, and signed the Charter of the United Nations. China became one of the founding members of the United Nations and one of the five permanent members of the Security Council. During his stay in the United States, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) worked hard to carry out overseas united front work. He widely contacted international friends and overseas Chinese, organized the distribution of the English version of "The Truth About the Liberated Areas of China," introduced the anti-Japanese achievements of the Communist Party of China and the achievements of the construction and development of the liberated areas, and expounded the Party's anti-Japanese national united front policy, which had a positive and widespread impact. At the Seventh National Congress of the Party and the First Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was elected as a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
In order to strive for a bright future, after the Chongqing Negotiations (重庆谈判), Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), as a member of the delegation of the Communist Party of China, continued to participate in the negotiations between the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party and the Political Consultative Conference, and carried out a tit-for-tat struggle with the Kuomintang (国民党) authorities. In 1946, the Kuomintang (国民党) reactionaries brazenly launched a full-scale civil war. In order to win people's hearts, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) remained in Nanjing (南京) under extremely complex and dangerous conditions when Comrade Zhou Enlai (周恩来) returned to Yan'an (延安), presided over the work of the Nanjing (南京) Office of the Communist Party of China, and continued to promote the development and growth of the people's democratic united front. He participated in leading the Party's secret work in the Kuomintang (国民党)-controlled area and laid "idle chess pieces" within the enemy. During the War of Liberation, Comrades Xiong Xianghui (熊向晖) and Han Liancheng (韩练成), who he directly contacted, made outstanding contributions to obtaining enemy Hu Zongnan (胡宗南) Ministry's combat intelligence and winning the victory of the Laiwu Campaign (莱芜战役), respectively. In the spring of 1947, after the breakdown of the negotiations between the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party, he led the delegation of the Communist Party of China to withdraw to Yan'an (延安). He made a passionate speech to people from all walks of life who came to see him off: "We Communists will still adhere to our original intention and strive for peace and democracy to the end," "The date of reunion will not be far away."
In 1948, as the North China Liberated Area gradually became a whole, the Party Central Committee began to prepare for the establishment of a national regime. In May of the same year, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) served as the chairman of the North China United Administrative Committee. In August, he presided over the North China Provisional People's Congress, and then served as the chairman of the newly established North China People's Government. He led the North China People's Government to actively carry out various constructions and support the national liberation war. Under the unremitting efforts of Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) and others, the North China People's Government gradually established a systematic political power organization, accumulated rich experience in political power construction, and trained a large number of cadres and talents, becoming the prototype of the Central People's Government.
In 1949, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was entrusted by the preparatory meeting of the New Political Consultative Conference to lead the drafting of the "Organic Law of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China" (draft), which made important legal preparations for the establishment of the Central People's Government. In September 1949, he attended the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. On October 1, the People's Republic of China was founded. At this time, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was already 63 years old. He stood beside Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东) and participated in the world-renowned founding ceremony, witnessing the great historical moment of the founding of New China on the Tiananmen (天安门) Gate Tower.
4. Participating in Leading the Socialist Revolution and Construction, Devoting Himself to the Consolidation and Development of New China, and Making Pioneering Contributions in the Field of Legal System Construction
After the founding of New China, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) served successively as a member of the Central People's Government, Vice Premier of the State Council and Director of the Political and Legal Committee, President of the Supreme People's Court, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman and Acting Chairman of the People's Republic of China, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, member of the Standing Committee, and Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. He actively participated in the important decisions of the socialist revolution and socialist construction, and devoted his greatest efforts to the consolidation and development of New China, especially making pioneering contributions in the field of legal system construction.
According to Marxism's theory on the state and law, combined with the actual situation of China's legal system construction, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) worked hard to explore and establish and improve China's judicial system. The "Instructions of the State Council on Strengthening the People's Judicial Work" drafted under his leadership made clear provisions on the nature, tasks and a series of specific issues of the people's judicial work, and became the guiding document for the people's judicial work in the early days of the founding of New China. He presided over the formulation of important laws such as the "Organic Law of the People's Courts" and the "Organic Law of the People's Procuratorates," led the establishment of various trial systems, summarized the experience of trial work, and made unremitting efforts to achieve fair and just trials.
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) proposed to gradually improve China's legal system, to formulate a series of laws such as criminal law, civil law, and labor law as soon as possible, and to accelerate the implementation of the lawyer system and the notary system. He emphasized that it is necessary to achieve "there are laws to be followed" and "laws must be followed"; after the laws are formulated, "handling affairs according to law is the central link in further strengthening the legal system," "must be implemented accurately, and handle affairs according to regulations," especially "public security, procuratorates, courts and all state organs must handle affairs according to law."
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) led the education and transformation of old judicial personnel, led the preparation for the establishment of political and legal cadre schools in the central and major regions, and made important contributions to the establishment of a legal talent education system. He led the establishment of academic organizations such as the China Political Science and Law Society to promote the construction and development of legal disciplines. Under his care and guidance, in just a few years after the founding of New China, a multi-level and multi-channel education system suitable for China's needs at that time was quickly created to train various legal talents, laying the initial talent foundation for implementing the rule of law and strengthening the construction of the legal system.
During the "Cultural Revolution," Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) was framed and persecuted, and still sang loudly in the poem "Ninetieth Birthday" 深信前途会伐柯 (shēn xìn qián tú huì fá kē - "deeply believe the future will cut the branches," expressing a strong belief in a bright future despite current difficulties, drawing from the idiom 伐柯, meaning to take an axe to cut branches, implying clearing obstacles for a better path). In 1975, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) passed away in Beijing (北京) due to illness. Comrade Ye Jianying (叶剑英) highly praised his revolutionary life in his eulogy, pointing out: "Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) truly did good deeds throughout his life and is worthy of being a proletarian revolutionary who is infinitely loyal to the Party and the people."
5. "One of the Model Leaders of the Communist Party of China"
Comrade Dong Biwu's (董必武) life was one of persistent struggle for the liberation of the Chinese nation and for the cause of communism. He grew from a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty (清朝) to a proletarian revolutionary, and went through a very uneven road. The Party Central Committee praised him as "one of the model leaders of the Communist Party of China." Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) has left us for more than half a century, but his great achievements and the noble character of a revolutionary are forever worthy of our remembrance and learning.
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) firmly believed that "following Marxism-Leninism is always victorious," and was an example of unwavering faith and loyalty to the Party. He described himself as having "personally experienced the malpractices of five dynasties," and after repeated research and comparison, he established his Marxist belief and remained steadfast in his commitment. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang reactionaries vigorously strengthened their secret service activities and sent military police to closely monitor the CCP offices in Nanjing (南京) and Shanghai (上海). Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), in a dangerous situation, instructed everyone to be prepared for the worst and to fight the enemy to the end. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The foundation of us communists is our belief in Marxism, our conviction in socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism, and our loyalty to the Party and the people." In the new era and on the new journey, we must learn from Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), strengthen our ideals and beliefs, remain loyal to the Party, actively participate in the construction of Chinese-style modernization, and strive to achieve our lofty ideals and common ideals.
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) practiced what he preached, "willing to share hardships with the masses," and was an example of practicing the original aspiration and selflessly serving the people. He called himself "a piece of cloth for patching," expressing his willingness to obey wherever the Party and the people patched him. In 1950, a flood occurred in the Huai River (淮河) basin, and disaster victims in northern Anhui (皖北), Henan (河南), and other places urgently needed winter clothing. Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), then Vice Premier of the State Council, personally served as the director of the Disaster Relief Clothing Fundraising Association. He raised funds from various sources and led the collection of more than 6.88 million sets of winter clothing in more than two months, sending them to the disaster areas to help the people tide over the winter. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Our Party's greatest political advantage is its close ties with the masses, and the people are our Party's greatest source of confidence in governing." In the new era and on the new journey, we must learn from Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), consciously practice the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and follow the Party's mass line in the new era.
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) always ensured that "principles were never allowed to be compromised," and was an example of respecting the rule of law and strictly enforcing the law. He repeatedly emphasized that "Party members should become models of abiding by the law." After the founding of New China, relatives asked him to introduce them to find bank loans. In his reply, he sternly refused, pointing out: "Now the country is the country of the people, and those who work in state organs must serve the people. No one has privileges except for the powers prescribed by law." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The law is an important tool for governing the country, and the rule of law is an important support for the national governance system and governance capacity." In the new era and on the new journey, we must learn from Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), promote the spirit of socialist rule of law, and guide all the people to be loyal advocates, conscious observers, and firm defenders of the socialist rule of law.
Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) practiced throughout his life "learning should be like a soldier crossing the river," and was an example of being knowledgeable, prudent in thinking, and applying what he learned. Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武) read extensively and diligently studied Marxist theory. He had high attainments in politics, law, poetry, and history. Even when he was eighty or ninety years old, he still humbly said, 纷纭万有识之微 (fēn yún wàn yǒu shí zhī wēi - "recognizing the subtle in the myriad things," to understand the nuances of complex matters). When he was critically ill, he could no longer lift heavy books such as "Selected Works of Marx and Engels," but he still asked the staff around him to read them to him, fully embodying the spirit of seeking knowledge that "absorbs without limit, and is still vigorous in old age." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Our Party has relied on learning to create history, and we must rely on learning to move towards the future." In the new era and on the new journey, we must learn from Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), carry forward the Marxist style of integrating theory with practice, learn while doing, do while learning, learn for application, use learning to promote learning, and grow together in learning and application.
This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. 105 years ago, Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), together with Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东) and others, initiated and promoted the founding of the Communist Party of China, a major event that opened up the world. The Communist Party of China was born for the rebirth of the nation and prospered for the rejuvenation of the nation. Today, Chinese-style modernization has unfolded a magnificent picture and presents an incomparably bright and splendid prospect. "Following the right path requires effort even halfway; understanding is not far away, but climbing to the top requires not shirking hard work." We must inherit and carry forward the noble spirit and demeanor of the older generation of revolutionaries such as Comrade Dong Biwu (董必武), unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, and unremittingly strive to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization!

Return to TopThe "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a crucial stage for consolidating the foundation and comprehensively exerting efforts to basically achieve socialist modernization. Adhering to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, as an important component of Xi Jinping's Economic Thought (习近平经济思想), is an important principle for our party to govern the country and a methodology for doing economic work well.
Entering the "15th Five-Year Plan," the start is related to the overall situation, and the initial step determines the subsequent momentum. Drawing up blueprints and embarking on the journey, what "hard-core" achievements will technological innovation bring forth, what new atmospheres will industrial transformation and upgrading have, and how can people's livelihood security be precise and effective? Representatives and members of the CPPCC National Committee jointly discussed and talked about the future.
Looking at the sense of technology from "hard-core equipment"
Deep integration of science and technology industries
National prosperity depends on the prosperity of science and technology, and national strength depends on the strength of science and technology.
Tianwen-2 (天问二号) began its "star chasing" journey, and artificial intelligence large models are catching up with each other... Looking back at the "14th Five-Year Plan," science and technology and industry have been deeply integrated, and innovative achievements have emerged one after another, laying a solid foundation for accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
Walking into the production workshop of Sichuan Aerospace Changzheng Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (四川航天长征装备制造有限公司), a picture of "hard-core intelligent manufacturing" comes into view: the stirring friction welding intelligent robot holds up the welding arm, rotates flexibly, aligns accurately, and slowly welds the gap of the box. After a few minutes, the interface has been perfectly "stitched."
"This is the 'hard-core equipment' we independently developed," said Wang Lin (王林), chief technician and representative of Sichuan Aerospace Changzheng Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. "In the past, the conditions were limited. When we visited and exchanged ideas, we saw advanced foreign equipment, and we were 馋得流口水 (chán dé liú kǒu shuǐ - "mouth watering with envy," to be extremely envious of something)." Wang Lin (王林) said that in recent years, the company has continued to introduce high-precision CNC machine tools, the equipment runs more smoothly and intelligently, young workers can quickly get started, and enterprises and industries are thriving under the empowerment of new technologies.
The precision requirements of aerospace products are extremely high, and the pressure of technological iteration is huge. Wang Lin (王林) and his team continue to overcome production bottlenecks, helping the company develop large-scale CNC spin forming equipment, filling the domestic technological gap.
In the workshop of Capital Aerospace Machinery Co., Ltd. (首都航天机械有限公司), a huge rocket part stands quietly - a storage tank cylinder sample with a diameter of more than 10 meters and a height of more than 2 meters. Three mobile robots shuttle through it, waving their mechanical arms to precisely carve.
"This is a new generation of processing equipment independently developed by us in conjunction with universities, and it is also the first time in China to use mobile robots to process rocket storage tank cylinder samples with a diameter of ten meters," said Liu Zheng (刘争), committee member, chief engineer of the Numerical Control Machining Technology Research Office of Capital Aerospace Machinery Co., Ltd. (首都航天机械有限公司) affiliated to the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group (航天科技集团一院).
"Aerospace manufacturing requires 'long-termism'. Taking the special high-end machine tool for rocket storage tanks as an example, from the proposal of the concept in 2014 to the realization of mass production in 2023, our technical team has fought for nearly 10 years. Without continuous and stable investment, it is impossible to win this relay race," said Liu Zheng (刘争).
Looking at the new atmosphere from energy transformation
Steady conversion of new and old kinetic energy
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China accelerated the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient new energy system. Through the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, China's industrial transformation and upgrading have accumulated momentum, promoting structural upgrading and kinetic energy upgrading on the basis of stability, continuously optimizing the industrial structure, and steadily converting new and old kinetic energy.
"From thermal power to 'wind and solar', from the roaring production workshop to the green hydrogen-based energy project site, since entering the industry, I have been dealing with generator sets almost all the time," said Li Wenhui (李文辉), representative of State Power Investment Corporation Jilin Energy Investment Baishan Branch (国家电投吉林能投白山分公司) and thermal control expert of SPIC Green Energy. In the traditional thermal power field, Li Wenhui (李文辉) reduced unit energy consumption, broke load restrictions, and ensured operational safety. One technological breakthrough after another has driven the quality and upgrading of traditional industries.
In 2025, at the site of the world's largest single green ammonia project - the State Power Investment Corporation Da'an Wind and Solar Green Hydrogen Synthetic Ammonia Integrated Demonstration Project (国家电投集团大安风光制绿氢合成氨一体化示范项目), Li Wenhui (李文辉) went through half a year of squatting and sticking to his post, leading the team to successfully break through the key difficulties of decoupling electricity, hydrogen, and ammonia, laying the foundation for solving problems such as the instability of wind and solar energy.
Jiuquan (酒泉), Gansu (甘肃), a vast Gobi Desert, rows of white and upright wind turbines stand against the wind. The huge blades rotate with the wind, continuously converting wind energy into electricity and sending it to thousands of households.
"Wind turbine blades are like the heart of a person," said Liu Jinfan (刘锦帆), chief engineer of Sinoma Science & Technology (Jiuquan) Wind Power Blade Co., Ltd. (中材科技（酒泉）风电叶片有限公司), comparing the importance of wind turbine blades. "The reason why wind turbines can generate electricity is essentially because wind turbine blades complete the energy conversion."
When Liu Jinfan (刘锦帆) first arrived in Jiuquan (酒泉), the domestic wind power technology level was far behind the international level, and most of the blade design technology came from foreign countries, and even raw materials needed to be imported. Today, through independent research and development and innovative breakthroughs, blade materials have basically achieved localization, and have taken the lead in the world in blade large-scale and lightweight technology.
"We have resource endowment advantages, creating a complete industrial chain from raw materials to product design to equipment manufacturing. With the support of national policies, the wind power industry has achieved a 弯道超车 (wān dào chāo chē - "overtaking on a curve," to surpass competitors by taking a shortcut or seizing an opportunity)." Liu Jinfan (刘锦帆) said. As of the end of 2025, the total installed power capacity of Jiuquan (酒泉) city was 48.04 million kilowatts, of which wind power installed capacity reached 22.83 million kilowatts, becoming an important growth pole for new energy development.
Liu Jinfan (刘锦帆) believes that the development of wind power is stable in "volume, chain, and policy" and advancing in "quality, technology, and market." From "having it" to "good or not, strong or not," it is necessary to consolidate the basic disk while upgrading to high-quality, high-tech, high-value, and globalization.
Looking at the "warm colors" from the perspective of people's livelihood concerns
People's livelihood and well-being are truly perceptible
Having good childcare, education, employment, medical services, elderly care, housing, and assistance for the vulnerable are the people's livelihood concerns that affect hundreds of millions of families. Thinking about what the people think and doing what the people expect can enable all the people to share the fruits of reform and development in their joint efforts.
The spacious and bright cafeteria has new non-slip floor tiles, and the tables and chairs are neatly arranged. In the operating room, knives, cutting boards and other utensils are divided into different colors, and staff wear head covers and masks throughout the operation... A survey of Wenping Town Central Primary School (文屏镇中心小学) in Ludian County (鲁甸县), Zhaotong City (昭通市), Yunnan Province (云南省), made Zhen Lanfang (甄兰芳), a teaching and research staff member of the Zhaotong City Institute of Educational Science (昭通市教育科学研究所), exclaim: "I haven't been here for a while, and the changes are so great!"
"Now our operating tools use the 'color coding management method', which divides raw and cooked food utensils according to color, which will not be confused, and children can eat with peace of mind," added Ma Mengjun (马梦君), vice principal of Wenping Town Central Primary School (文屏镇中心小学).
Development is moving forward, and people's livelihood is warming. "During the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, China continued to increase investment and implement the rural compulsory education student nutrition improvement program to protect children's healthy growth." Zhen Lanfang (甄兰芳) said that many places in Yunnan (云南) have established supervision mechanisms such as campus sunshine meal sharing and parent and school leader accompanying meals to protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue" on campus, and the nutritional meals for students in mountainous areas are changing from "eating enough" to "eating safely and nutritiously."
Zhaotong (昭通) is located in the Wumeng Mountains (乌蒙山区), and there are many migrant workers, and many left-behind children and mobile children. Children of migrant workers enroll in schools nearby, holiday care for left-behind children, group-based school management, and the establishment of urban-rural teaching and research alliances... Zhen Lanfang (甄兰芳) found during a visit and survey last year that these new practices have received many likes.
In Shenzhen (深圳市), Guangdong Province (广东省), the Bao'an District Social Welfare Center (宝安区社会福利中心) is about to move to a new campus, and staff are helping the children pack their luggage. Fei Yingying (费英英), deputy director of the Bao'an District Women and Children Service Center (宝安区妇女儿童服务中心) in Shenzhen (深圳市), introduced that in the welfare center, thousands of children in difficulty have gained growth, and some children have been admitted to Beijing (北京) universities to study animation design and other majors.
"Continued financial support has made the lives of children in difficulty more secure." Fei Yingying (费英英) believes that with the development of artificial intelligence, AI technology can effectively supplement the shortage of manpower in the childcare field. In addition, it is necessary to improve laws and regulations to promote the upgrading of people's livelihood services from extensive supply to precise governance.

At the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan," various regions and departments have accurately identified their strategic positioning within the overall national landscape, gathering momentum for new and superior development, demonstrating the stability of "steadiness" and showcasing the attitude of "progress."
"Steadiness" requires a sense of the big picture. "Following the North Star will prevent you from getting lost." Anything decided by the Party Central Committee must be resolutely implemented. Having a clear understanding of the "major issues of the country" and resolutely implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee are essential to staying on the right path without deviation.
Since the Lunar New Year of the Horse, many places have held work conferences and are intensively planning for development. Hainan focuses on safeguarding the high-standard construction of the Free Trade Port with high-level security, and Fujian emphasizes providing umbrellas to shelter enterprises from the rain, building roads and bridges, and cheering them on... Each has its own emphasis, but the ultimate goal is the same: to complete the primary task of high-quality development.
"Progress" requires a sense of direction. With a unified goal, selecting the right track, and leveraging the positioning of the main functional areas to showcase their strengths, we can both enhance the brilliance of one area and add color to the overall situation.
Guangdong (广东), the first province with a "10 trillion yuan" economy, is comprehensively promoting the "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, Ten Thousand Villages Project" and accelerating the construction of the Greater Bay Area (大湾区). Effective results have been achieved in regional industrial collaborative development, and the scale of foreign trade has reached new highs. Shandong (山东), a newly promoted "10 trillion yuan" province, is basing itself on its existing foundation and treating the industrial economy as the "number one project," cultivating and strengthening the "Top Ten Industries."
Striving forward in the "15th Five-Year Plan," we must place the development of new quality productive forces in a more prominent strategic position, amplify characteristics in differentiated development, and resonate in coordinated development, so that the whole game can be played vividly and brilliantly.
Seeking progress while maintaining stability tests determination and resilience.
In early 2025, DeepSeek (深度求索) emerged. In early 2026, Seedance (豆包视频生成模型) amazed the world. The blossoming of innovation is not only due to a spring breeze overnight, but also to the long-term layout of hidden potential. Deeply cultivating basic research, building talent echelons, and promoting the integration of industry and innovation are all steps that cannot be rushed or omitted.
As long as we recognize that something is the right thing to do, we should consistently and persistently do it, never giving up halfway, never going in the opposite direction, and never turning back.
For more than 70 years, from poverty and blankness to reshaping the landscape, one relay after another, overcoming difficulties and moving forward step by step, this is the most inspiring relay race. Now that the new baton has been passed to our generation, we must continue to run firmly, and we will surely run out of new style and create new glories.

Twelve data server buildings rise from the ground, 15,000 racks are neatly arranged, and hundreds of thousands of servers operate at high speed... Stepping into the China Telecom Cloud Computing Guizhou Information Park (中国电信云计算贵州信息园), one is immediately struck by a sense of technology and the future. Powerful computing power starts from here, providing support and guarantee for the film and television rendering industry.
How can Guizhou (贵州), a province described as "eight mountains, one water, and one field," blaze a new trail for development? Relying on the mountains, but changing the way they are "eaten"!
Next to the Digital Valley Avenue (数谷大道) in Gui'an New District (贵安新区) of Guizhou (贵州), a data center is "hidden" in a seemingly inconspicuous small mountain. Taking advantage of the natural condition that the internal temperature is lower than the external temperature, the data servers have a natural "air-conditioned room." "The development disadvantages of the past have now become natural advantages for developing the digital economy," said Zhang Xuerong (张雪蓉), Director of the Big Data and Science and Technology Innovation Bureau of Gui'an New District (贵安新区大数据和科技创新局局长).
Since 2014, Guizhou (贵州) has gradually become a gathering place for data centers. Currently, there are 50 data centers under construction and in operation, with a computing power scale exceeding 160 hundred billion billion times/second (EFLOPS), and intelligent computing accounting for over 98%.
The value of computing power lies in its application. In recent years, Guizhou (贵州) has fully launched the "Artificial Intelligence +" action and introduced the "Hundred Models, Thousand Scenarios" plan.
Among the mountains, an unmanned aerial vehicle takes off. Relying on the digital platform it carries, the aircraft can adjust its direction in real time based on information such as weather, location, and electronic charts, allowing the aircraft to fly safely in complex mountainous environments.
"The spatiotemporal information required for low-altitude aircraft must be updated in real time. Guizhou (贵州) currently has a relatively large advantage in terms of computing power support, industry applications, and data transactions, which allows us to build a complete chain of spatiotemporal data from collection to application," said Huang Yong (黄勇), Chairman of Guizhou Tuzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd. (贵州图智信息技术有限公司董事长).
Computing power surges, supported by electricity, with "bits" and "watts" guaranteeing each other.
Zhou Jingyu (周敬余), Deputy Leader of the Substation Intelligent Operation Class of the Guizhou Tongren Power Supply Bureau (贵州铜仁供电局变电智能作业班副班长) of the Southern Power Grid (南方电网), introduced that the current pilot project of "electricity-computing collaboration" effectively solves the phenomenon of "two skins" of electricity and computing, allowing power supply and computing power demand to be planned and scheduled collaboratively, effectively supporting Guizhou (贵州) in strengthening and optimizing the digital economy.

Production time reduced from 9 months to just over 3 months! This is the "acceleration" achieved by Maipu Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (麦仆科技（上海）有限公司) in a production project in Yunnan (云南) last year. Deng Runhua (邓润华), Chairman of the company, said with emotion: "In the past, when building factories across provinces, we were exhausted from coordinating and traveling between the two places. Now, it only takes more than 3 months to start production, which was unimaginable in the past!"
A Shanghai (上海) enterprise builds factories and employs workers in Yunnan (云南), deeply integrating into the local industrial chain, while maintaining close links with its Shanghai (上海) headquarters, realizing a "two-way rush" of orders, technology, and products between Shanghai (沪) and Yunnan (滇).
Will Shanghai (上海) enterprises going to Yunnan (云南) affect Shanghai's (上海) economic development?
"Considering the big picture, the overall picture, and the long-term picture, 'Shanghai-Yunnan Cooperation' (沪滇协作) is not a zero-sum game, but a way to make the pie bigger together," said Gu Yiyi (顾壹壹), a cadre from Fengxian District (奉贤区) in Shanghai (上海) aiding Yunnan (滇). Today, 16 prefectures (cities) (州（市）) in Yunnan (云南) and 16 districts (区) in Shanghai (上海) are jointly building industrial parks, the "enclave economy" model continues to deepen, fiscal and tax revenues are shared proportionally, and cross-regional coordinated development has changed from "each cooking their own dishes" to "co-hosting a banquet."
"By breaking down local protectionism and market segmentation, factor resources can flow freely within a larger scope." Leng Weiqing (冷伟青), Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Industrial (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (上海实业（集团）有限公司), suggested that the leading enterprises should play the role of "chain owner," build an open pilot platform, so that enterprises of different regions and different sizes can "learn from each other," and reduce innovation costs through equipment leasing, R&D collaboration, and rule docking, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can show their skills in a larger market.
In October 2025, the Yangtze River Delta Ecology and Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone Investment Fund (长三角生态绿色一体化发展示范区投资基金) was established, and Qingpu District (青浦区) in Shanghai (上海), Wujiang District (吴江区) in Suzhou (苏州), Jiangsu (江苏), and Jiashan County (嘉善县) in Jiaxing (嘉兴), Zhejiang (浙江), "two districts and one county" (两区一县) share fiscal and tax revenues proportionally to promote the implementation of more cross-regional cooperation projects.
Chen Da (陈达), Vice Chairman of the Labor Union of Donghao Lansheng Group (东浩兰生会展集团), mentioned that in the past, when enterprises developed across regions, they were most afraid of "one policy for one place" (一地一策) - different standards, different access, and different supervision. It was clearly the same thing, but it had to be repeatedly connected according to different rules.
"With the deepening of the construction of a unified national market, these 'invisible thresholds' are gradually being broken. Rules are being connected, processes are being simplified, and standards are being unified. The cross-regional development of enterprises will definitely become smoother and smoother," said Representative Chen Da (陈达).

The real economy is the foundation of a major country.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, we must place the development of new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions in a more prominent strategic position, take technological innovation as the guide and the real economy as the foundation, adhere to the simultaneous advancement of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, actively develop emerging industries, and proactively plan for future industries, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system."
The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal deploys 12 strategic tasks, with the first being "building a modern industrial system and consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy."
During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, how should a modern industrial system be built? What are the main focuses? The reporter connected with people inside and outside the meetings, inviting deputies, members, and experts to discuss together.
Taking "Real" as the Foundation
Consolidating the Foundation for Development
Scene
Walking into the intelligent manufacturing workshop of Invt Electric (江苏苏州英威腾电力电子有限公司) in Suzhou (苏州), Jiangsu (江苏), robotic arms are like agile dancers, precisely drawing smooth trajectories, assembling and debugging in one go; the digital management system accurately schedules, from ingredients, production to transportation, at high speed and efficiency.
"The assembly line that used to require 28 people now only needs less than 10 people. Robots are more efficient and worry-free," said Yin Xiaoyong (印小勇), general manager of the company.
Dialogue
The real economy is the foundation of a country and the basis for strengthening it. Deputies and members said that the historical practice of global industrial development shows that whoever masters the initiative in the development of the real economy has the strength and confidence to win the strategic initiative in international competition. The overall advancement of more than 1.4 billion people towards a modern society is inseparable from the solid material support and technological foundation provided by the real economy.
"Consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy is not only what is needed for current development, but also what is essential for future development." Dai Hegen (戴和根), Party Secretary and Chairman of China Railway Construction Group Co., Ltd. (中国铁道建筑集团有限公司), said that whether it is to ensure the smooth circulation of the national economy, accelerate the cultivation of new quality productive forces, or cope with high winds and rough waves of risks and challenges, it is necessary to consolidate and strengthen the foundation of the real economy. Taking the Xi'an-Yan'an High-speed Railway (西延高铁), which China Railway Construction (中国铁建) participated in the design and construction of, as an example, it not only drives local investment and employment during the construction process, but also boosts red tourism and helps the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside after the high-speed railway is opened.
Guo Jingjing (郭晶晶), Director of the Party-Masses and Human Resources Department of Fujian Fuhaikun Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (福建福化古雷石油化工有限公司), said: "Revolutionary breakthroughs in technology, innovative allocation of production factors, and in-depth transformation and upgrading of industries give rise to new quality productive forces, and the real economy is the key area that can simultaneously generate the above three types of conditions."
"Having gone through the '14th Five-Year Plan', China's real economy has achieved effective improvement in quality while maintaining reasonable growth in quantity, and new momentum is accelerating." He Ying (何颖), Director of the Planning Institute of the China Center for Information Industry Development (中国电子信息产业发展研究院), introduced that the industrial structure is becoming newer and better, and the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry and the high-tech manufacturing industry accounts for a significant increase in the added value of industry.
Looking to the future, Zhou Bin (周斌), Secretary of the Yancheng (盐城) Municipal Party Committee of Jiangsu Province (江苏省), believes that "during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, one of the key points of building a modern industrial system is to maintain a reasonable proportion of manufacturing, and it is necessary to promote the concentration of labor, capital, land, technology, management and other factors towards manufacturing. Last year, the total industrial invoice sales revenue of Yancheng (盐城) exceeded one trillion yuan. The advantages in volume, supporting facilities, and application scenarios accumulated over many years of deep cultivation in manufacturing have laid a solid foundation for cultivating new quality productive forces."
Taking "New" as the Key
Promoting Industrial Upgrading
Scene
During this year's Spring Festival holiday, the night sky on Nanbin Road (南滨路) in Chongqing (重庆) transformed into a "cyberpunk" style: drone formations transformed into cute pandas, horses, Chinese knots and other patterns. The drone light show "ignited" cultural tourism, and searches for surrounding hotels surged, making it difficult to find a room.
Behind this is Chongqing's (重庆) low-altitude economy moving from "take-off" to "high-flying". The aircraft developed by the Ninth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (中国航天科技集团九院) combines cars and airplanes into one; the "twin-engine" helicopter developed by Chongqing Yidong Technology Co., Ltd. (重庆翼动科技有限公司) is only the size of a palm and can be parked at a fixed point... In 2025, the output value of Chongqing's (重庆) low-altitude manufacturing industry will reach 10.2 billion yuan, an increase of 30.4% year-on-year.
Dialogue
Deputies and members said that the modern industrial system includes various modern industries, including modern agriculture, modern industry and modern service industries. To accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, it is necessary to make comprehensive efforts in various fields to improve the integrity, advancement and security of the industrial system.
Optimize and upgrade traditional industries. Cai Zhansheng (蔡战胜), Deputy Secretary of the Quanzhou (泉州) Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Fujian Province (福建省), said that to build a modern industrial system, it is necessary to adhere to the direction of intelligence, greening, and integration. Quanzhou (泉州) will adhere to systematic thinking, focusing on research and development design empowerment at the front end to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements; promoting "intelligent transformation and digital transformation" in the middle end, and implementing a special action of "artificial intelligence +"; strengthening brand marketing at the back end, and jointly implementing quality, brand and standardization projects to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
Cultivate and strengthen emerging industries and future industries. "The key to cultivating emerging industries and future industries is to truly combine innovation and application, so that new technologies can find landing scenarios and form industrial scale as soon as possible." Wang Zhijie (王志杰), Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Chongqing (重庆) Municipal Economic and Information Commission, said that Chongqing (重庆) will focus on the industrial foundation, enrich application scenarios, and allow more innovative achievements to come out of the laboratory and enter the production line.
Promote the high-quality and efficient development of the service industry. Sun Libin (孙力斌), Chairman of Nanjing Lianchuang Technology Group Co., Ltd. (南京联创科技集团股份有限公司), believes that in the modern industrial system, the service industry is an important engine connecting supply and demand, activating factors, and leading upgrades. Taking the "Water Charm Jiangsu (水韵江苏)" digital cultural tourism platform and the Jiangsu Province Tourism Annual Card as examples, the project relies on data to accurately connect the government, enterprises and consumers, allowing more people to enjoy personalized travel experiences.
Build a modern infrastructure system. Xu Ance (徐安策), General Manager of China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (中国铁路南昌局集团有限公司), said: "Facing the '15th Five-Year Plan', it is necessary to build a modern infrastructure system to better promote the interconnection, collaborative integration, safety and efficiency of infrastructure, and play a stronger supporting role."
Taking "Integration" as the Path
Promoting the Integrated Development of Industries
Scene
Boxing County (博兴县) in Binzhou (滨州), Shandong (山东), a small city, gathers more than 3,000 commercial kitchenware companies, with an annual total output value of over 35 billion yuan and a market share of over 40% nationwide. One of the secrets lies in the Boxing (博兴) Commercial Kitchen Industry Brain jointly built by Boxing County (博兴县) and Haier Kaos (海尔卡奥斯).
"This platform helps to deeply integrate fragmented orders, realize 'small orders gathering big', reduce enterprise processing costs by 30%, and reduce repeated design investment by 50%," said Diao Xingquan (刁兴全), General Manager of Kaos Industrial Empowerment Platform.
Dialogue
Looking forward to the "15th Five-Year Plan", how to build a modern industrial system? Deputies and members said that "integration" is the keyword.
Promote the accelerated integration of the real economy and the digital economy. "In the era of artificial intelligence, the real economy is the 'body', and the digital economy is the 'wings'." Zhou Yunjie (周云杰), Party Secretary, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and CEO of Haier Group Corporation (海尔集团公司), said that it is necessary to realize the integrated development of large, medium and small enterprises, and at the same time, focus on the research and development of core technologies, and consolidate the foundation for digital transformation, so as to support the accelerated development of new quality productive forces.
Promote the two-way integration of modern service industries and advanced manufacturing industries. Liu Shangwen (刘尚文), Dean of the Institute of Service-oriented Manufacturing, said that service-oriented manufacturing emphasizes extending service links to the entire chain of research and development design, production process and operation and maintenance, and realizing the deep integration of manufacturing and services. It is necessary to focus on key areas, promote the deep integration of manufacturing and services in technology, business formats, and models, and build a service-oriented manufacturing system that is adapted to the industrial foundation and has both efficiency and resilience.

"Humanoid robots can reduce production costs and improve production efficiency. After mass production and application, they will inject new impetus into the economic and social development of our country." The Beijing delegation (北京团代表) brought new news about the development of emerging industries.
"In 2025, Jiangsu (江苏) will have 34.2 high-value invention patents per 10,000 people. The key lies in breaking the linear model of 'scientific research and development first, followed by industrial application.'" The Jiangsu delegation (江苏团代表) discussed how to activate industrial transformation with scientific and technological momentum.
Building a modern industrial system and cultivating and developing emerging industries are hot topics for discussion among deputies and members of the National People's Congress (全国两会) this year, and also a major issue concerning China's long-term development.
Since the "14th Five-Year Plan," a number of competitive advantageous industries in China, including new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, have added new highlights to Chinese manufacturing and become an important pillar driving economic growth.
Entering the "15th Five-Year Plan," cultivating and developing emerging industries faces profound and complex changes. For example, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, especially the vigorous development of a new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence, which has an increasingly broad and profound impact on industrial development. Furthermore, the international situation is intertwined with changes and chaos, requiring us to be proactive and prepared, coordinate development and security, and ensure high-quality development with high-level security.
To allow emerging industries to “新树扎深根” (xīn shù zhā shēn gēn - "new trees take deep roots," to establish a firm foundation for emerging industries), the key is to "strengthen." China's traditional industries are large in scale, complete in categories, and have a solid foundation, which is the "basic plate" of the industrial system. It not only provides industrial chain and supply chain support for the development of emerging industries, but also provides huge market demand for emerging industries. In this regard, we must unswervingly promote the "renewal" of traditional industries, use digital and intelligent technology and green technology to transform and upgrade traditional industries, and enhance the competitive advantage of the entire industrial chain.
To allow emerging industries to “新树扎深根” (xīn shù zhā shēn gēn - "new trees take deep roots," to establish a firm foundation for emerging industries), the focus is on "cultivating." Today's future industries may be tomorrow's emerging industries. Whether it is to seize the commanding heights of science and technology and industry, or to shape the long-term competitive advantage of emerging industries, it is inseparable from forward-looking layout of future industries. The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal proposes that "quantum technology, bio-manufacturing, hydrogen energy and nuclear fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and sixth-generation mobile communications should become new economic growth points." We must focus on the future, place technological innovation in a core position, strengthen cutting-edge technology research and development innovation, and open up more space for cultivating emerging industries.
To allow emerging industries to “新树扎深根” (xīn shù zhā shēn gēn - "new trees take deep roots," to establish a firm foundation for emerging industries), the focus is on "application." No matter how new the industry or how excellent the track is, it is just a "bonsai" if it does not enter the scene. Good use is the best cultivation. We must strive to continuously transform the "good ideas" in the laboratory into "good products" on the production line, promote the implementation of new technologies such as humanoid robots in real-world scenarios, and improve technology and expand the ecosystem in real needs.
The journey is long and the wind is strong, and the heavy responsibility is to start again. Standing at a new historical node, we must firmly grasp the opportunities of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, adhere to innovation as the primary driving force for leading development, continue to strengthen our strengths, make up for our weaknesses, strengthen our foundation, and increase our momentum, cultivate and develop emerging industries well, and provide a more solid industrial support for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
Return to Top"Only by coordinating the integrated development of education, science and technology, and talent, strengthening the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, vigorously developing new quality productive forces, and accelerating the high-end leap of manufacturing, can we strive for development initiative in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation," said Tang Feifan (汤飞帆), Deputy Secretary of the Ningbo (宁波) Municipal Committee and Mayor of Ningbo (宁波) City, Zhejiang Province.
"In-depth implementation of the 'Artificial Intelligence+' action, using artificial intelligence to empower thousands of industries, provides important new opportunities for accelerating the advancement of new industrialization," said Tang Feifan (汤飞帆). Ningbo (宁波) continues to deepen the application of artificial intelligence technology in the core areas and key links of manufacturing, and accelerate the intelligence of various links such as R&D design, production technology, production and manufacturing, marketing services, and operation management. Next, Ningbo (宁波) will focus on leveraging the rich advantages of manufacturing application scenarios, accelerate the use of "full-scenario openness" as an important starting point, vigorously promote the all-round and deep-level empowerment of artificial intelligence in manufacturing, and promote the intelligent, green, and integrated development of manufacturing.

Return to Top"Promoting the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry is an important path to building a manufacturing powerhouse and an inherent requirement for building a modern industrial system." Wen Fei (温菲), a technician from the Anyuan Ironmaking Plant of Jiangxi Pingxiang Pinggang Anyuan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (江西萍乡萍钢安源钢铁有限公司) said that the pace of digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry is accelerating, and new scenarios and applications such as intelligent factories and industrial Internet are constantly emerging. However, some small and medium-sized enterprises still face problems such as insufficient motivation for transformation and unclear paths. It is necessary to further strengthen policy guidance and support to enable digital technology to better empower the real economy.
Representative Wen Fei (温菲) suggested that special plans for the digital and intelligent transformation of traditional manufacturing industries should be introduced in accordance with local conditions, and standards and evaluation systems should be established by industry and stage to guide enterprises to implement policies according to their industries and make precise efforts. Attention should be paid to giving play to the leading role of leading enterprises, and helping small and medium-sized enterprises cross the "transformation threshold" by opening and sharing technology platforms and jointly building an industrial Internet ecosystem, so that more enterprises "dare to transform, are willing to transform, and can transform." Digitalization and intelligence should be integrated into the entire process of research and development design, production and manufacturing, operation and management, and marketing to promote cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and quality improvement throughout the entire chain.

Return to Top"Currently, China's residents' consumption structure is shifting from being primarily commodity consumption to a balance between commodity and service consumption. Expanding service consumption has become an important driving force for expanding domestic demand." Yao Jinbo (姚劲波), Chairman and CEO of 58.com, believes that "the elderly and the young" are major concerns for every family. Continuously increasing the high-quality supply of elderly care services and childcare services is an important focus for promoting the expansion and upgrading of service consumption and improving people's well-being.
Representative Yao Jinbo (姚劲波) suggests increasing support for vocational skills training for workers to provide high-quality talent to the "elderly and young" service system. He encourages leading enterprises in the industry to cooperate deeply with colleges, universities, and associations to jointly carry out vocational skills training and grade certification, and to formulate and revise service standards at all levels, so that professional knowledge and skills can be applied to front-line practice. On the other hand, he suggests promoting the integrated development of "Internet platform + elderly care," supporting domestic service companies to enter professional elderly care service and childcare service databases, and encouraging service agencies to use online platforms to broaden service supply and demand docking channels and improve matching efficiency.

Zhang Xinghai (张兴海), member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) and Chairman of SERES Group (赛力斯集团), said that developing intelligent connected new energy vehicles well can not only drive the collaborative upgrading of upstream and downstream industrial chains, but also incubate future industries such as embodied intelligence and mobile intelligent bodies, becoming an important engine for promoting the real economy to climb to "new" and "high."
Committee Member Zhang Xinghai (张兴海) suggested that all parties should work together to create a good "ecosystem" and take multiple measures to promote the high-quality development of intelligent connected new energy vehicles. Policies should serve as good "escorts," improving top-level design, relaxing and empowering new technologies and new business forms such as intelligentization, increasing financial and tax support, and reducing corporate exploration costs. Enterprises should act as the main force of innovation, both increasing R&D investment and deepening cross-border integration, so as to build an industrial moat with hardcore technology. Innovation should focus on user needs, accurately solve user pain points, and form a technical closed loop of "users setting the questions, companies answering the questions, and the market grading the papers."

He added that currently, the scale of China's operating and under-construction nuclear power units continues to expand. Superimposed on the profound changes in the operating environment brought about by the construction of new power systems, nuclear power safety management faces higher requirements.
"Promoting the establishment of an industry self-regulatory technical service platform is a key support for China's nuclear power to move from 'running alongside' to 'leading' internationally and achieve high-quality development." Lu Tiezhong (卢铁忠) believes that to promote nuclear power from "following" and "running alongside" to "leading," it is necessary to establish an independent discourse system in terms of operation management, performance evaluation, and technical standards.
Lu Tiezhong (卢铁忠) suggested that industry authorities promote the creation of a China Nuclear Energy Industry Self-Regulatory Technical Service Platform, providing support and guarantees in terms of resource investment, policy support, and cross-group coordination, and establish a long-term operating mechanism of co-construction and sharing, mutual assistance and win-win, to ensure the active, safe, and orderly development of the nuclear power industry.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Domestic demand is the basic driving force of China's economic development and an inevitable requirement to meet the people's growing needs for a better life."
In 2025, China's consumer market size steadily expanded, with total retail sales of consumer goods exceeding 50 trillion yuan for the first time. The contribution rate of domestic demand to economic growth reached 67.3%, of which the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure was 52.0%, an increase of 5.0 percentage points over the previous year... A series of impressive data highlights the strength and potential of China's super-large-scale market. At this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国两会), "expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption" became a key topic of concern for deputies and members.
Expanding new supply to enhance the fundamental role of consumption
"Tourism is becoming a 'rigid demand consumption' in daily life and an important window for observing China's consumption vitality." Wu Guoping (吴国平), a deputy and chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee of Wuxi Lingshan Cultural Tourism Group (无锡灵山文旅集团), said that during the Spring Festival holiday, the scenic spots under the Wuxi Lingshan Cultural Tourism Group received a total of 778,000 tourists, a comparable increase of 12% year-on-year, witnessing the popularity of cultural tourism consumption.
Deputy Wu Guoping (吴国平) said that nowadays tourists pay more attention to cultural experiences, immersive interactions and other consumption. The cultural tourism consumption industry chain is long and has a wide driving range. One trip often connects multiple consumption links such as catering, accommodation, transportation, and retail. The continuous emergence of new cultural tourism formats and the continuous innovation of consumption scenarios are injecting strong impetus into economic development.
Ice and snow tourism has become a vivid practice of expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption. Fan Qinghua (范庆华), a deputy and secretary of the Da Hinggan Ling Prefectural Committee of Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省大兴安岭地委书记), said that the Da Hinggan Ling area adheres to adapting to local conditions and regards the development of characteristic cultural tourism as a "green engine" for driving domestic demand. The local area has carefully created IPs such as the "Arctic Forest Ice and Snow Carnival" and launched 16 high-quality routes such as Arctic research and technology exploration, and promoted the completion and commissioning of the Arctic Village 4D Dome Cinema. In 2025, it received more than 5.3 million tourists. During the past Spring Festival holiday, "Arctic China" became a popular tourist destination, with 35,000 people spending the Chinese New Year in Arctic Village.
"We seized the ice and snow tourism boom brought about by the Asian Winter Games, deeply explored the potential value contained in the ice and snow, and held ice and snow auto cross-country races and other events, and revitalized idle houses into new formats such as characteristic restaurants and tourism complexes." Deputy Fan Qinghua (范庆华) said that he will combine the "15th Five-Year Plan" to explore the development of intelligent travel photography, drone sightseeing, virtual experience and other projects, and continue to release diversified and differentiated cultural tourism consumption potential.
In the field of commodity consumption, the "two new" policy dividends are accelerating into market popularity. Zhang Zhuang (张壮), a deputy and secretary of the Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee of Guangxi (广西柳州市委书记), said that on January 1 this year, Liuzhou launched trade-in activities for home appliances, digital products and smart products. As of March 2, Liuzhou had applied for 42,500 trade-ins of digital and smart products, an increase of 29.6% over the same period last year, effectively activating the potential of market consumption.
Deputy Zhang Zhuang (张壮) said that Liuzhou will place expanding domestic demand and boosting consumption in a more prominent position, and start from policy support, business format enrichment, and activity promotion to deeply implement special actions to boost consumption, accelerate the cultivation of new types of consumption such as digital, green, and healthy consumption, and continue to strengthen the competition economy and performing arts economy, and continuously expand the supply of high-quality consumer goods and services, and continue to enhance the fundamental role of consumption in economic development.
Cultivate new scenarios and release new momentum for consumption
New scenarios, new business formats, and new models continue to emerge, stimulating people's stronger willingness to consume and promoting the formation of a virtuous circle of "leading new supply with new demand and creating new demand with new supply."
In Jiangxi, the integrated development trend of "cultural tourism + hundreds of industries" is booming, and "cultural and museum tours" have become a new fashion. Mei Yi (梅亦), Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Jiangxi Province (江西省委宣传部副部长，省文化和旅游厅党组书记、厅长), introduced that the "Forbidden City Hall" jointly built by the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and the Palace Museum has been officially listed and operated, and the number of visitors to many special exhibitions has exceeded one million. In 2025, the province will jointly launch more than 1,000 cultural tourism preferential measures and issue nearly 100 million yuan in consumer coupons.
"Cultural tourism consumption has become an important aspect of expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption in Jiangxi Province." Deputy Mei Yi (梅亦) said that in the face of new consumer demands for interactivity and personalization, Jiangxi will focus on "emotional consumption," deeply cultivate "the atmosphere of fireworks," and promote "technological empowerment." It is recommended to further accelerate the high-quality development of culture and tourism by activating the "ticket stub economy" and cultivating "intangible cultural heritage national trends."
Relying on the advantages of major channels, the consumption potential of regional markets is also accelerating. Ou Yanling (欧彦伶), Director of the Commerce Bureau of Hechi City, Guangxi (广西河池市商务局局长), said that Hechi is based on "ethnic areas, channel nodes, and proximity to ASEAN," focusing on writing three articles of "integration, connection, and upgrading," building a "3-hour industrial circle" connecting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and a "1-hour logistics circle" in Beibu Gulf of Guangxi, and deploying cross-border e-commerce platforms.
"Expanding investment will be the key to accumulating long-term stamina and laying out the future." Member Ou Yanling (欧彦伶) proposed that in the future, the focus will be on developing digital consumption, low-altitude tourism, etc., and implementing seven major actions such as optimizing service consumption. At the same time, it will support advantageous industries to "borrow boats to go to sea," deeply integrate cultural tourism and consumption, accelerate the creation of new inbound consumption scenarios facing ASEAN, and effectively transform cultural tourism "traffic" into consumption "retention."
In the vast countryside, the sinking of green consumption has opened up new space for economic development. Zhang Tianren (张天任), Secretary of the Party Committee of Xinchuan Village, Meishan Town, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and Chairman of Tianneng Holding Group (浙江省湖州市长兴县煤山镇新川村党委书记、天能控股集团董事长), paid attention to the fact that as the connotation of green consumption continues to enrich, energy storage equipment has entered thousands of households, and new hotspots such as "new energy science and technology museums," "village cafes," and "shared farmhouses" have emerged in rural areas. Green mountains and clear waters are not only scenery, but also scenes for green energy applications, which have revitalized homestays and characteristic agricultural products.
"Behind this is the transformation of ecological advantages into development advantages, releasing real new consumption potential." Deputy Zhang Tianren (张天任) said that the company is helping rural families use economical and clean electricity through the "new energy + rural" model. Rural areas are an important growth point for expanding domestic demand, and the integration of green energy and the rural economy is an effective way to stimulate consumption potential.
Cultivate new fields and rise up with a strong "atmosphere of fireworks"
"To release consumption potential, consumers need to have more stable income, more scenarios, and more guaranteed rights, so that the consumption engine can be more powerful." Shan Zefeng (单泽峰), Mayor of Binhai New Area, Tianjin (天津市滨海新区区长), said that expanding domestic demand, especially boosting consumption, is an important task during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. Binhai New Area will be based on regional realities, cultivate inbound consumption, sea-friendly consumption, and nighttime consumption, so that the market can rise up with a strong "atmosphere of fireworks."
Deputy Shan Zefeng (单泽峰) proposed that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, five major actions, including improving the quality of consumption supply, will be vigorously implemented to improve the convenience, comfort, and satisfaction of citizens and tourists. Give full play to the advantages of being near the sea, hold a series of "Sea-facing Happy Life" activities, and activate new engines such as the cruise economy and the low-altitude economy. At the same time, continue to issue consumer coupons covering commerce, trade, culture and tourism, and vigorously develop health and elderly care services and silver-haired tourism.
In terms of the agricultural industry, high-quality supply is the key to creating effective demand. Xu Jianxing (徐建兴), Chairman of Sanpangdan (Inner Mongolia) Food Technology Co., Ltd. (三胖蛋（内蒙古）食品科技有限公司董事长), deeply felt that the current consumer market is transitioning from "satisfying type" to "quality type," and people no longer only satisfy basic needs for agricultural products, but also pursue health attributes and cultural connotations. This brings new opportunities for agricultural development and expanding domestic demand.
"We use the thinking of the entire industry chain to break the pain points of the agricultural product industry." Deputy Xu Jianxing (徐建兴) introduced that the company launched high-quality varieties in 2025, driving farmers in 500,000 mu of planting bases to increase both yield per mu and selling price by 30%. In the next step, the company will continue to deepen innovation and cultivate brand building to help implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand in the agricultural field.
The green transformation and technological progress of traditional energy are also profoundly reshaping the consumer-side pattern. Sun Yuhan (孙予罕), Dean of the Huairou Laboratory Shanxi Research Institute (怀柔实验室山西研究院院长), felt in the survey that the people are willing to pay for green and efficient lifestyles, and the supply and demand sides are working together. He suggested that, facing the "15th Five-Year Plan," we should take high-level scientific and technological self-reliance as the support, unblock the blockages in the transformation of achievements, and transform technological advantages into product advantages and consumption advantages. At the same time, strengthen green consumption, intelligent consumption, and service consumption, and make green a distinctive background color of high-quality life.

The "Two Sessions" have begun, and "investing in people" has become a frequently discussed term among delegates and members.
Chinese-style modernization prioritizes the people's well-being. In 2025, in the fiscal expenditures of 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, expenditures in the field of people's livelihood generally accounted for more than 70% of the total expenditure. From "investing in people" being written into the 2025 "Government Work Report" to the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中办) and the General Office of the State Council (国办) issuing the "Opinions on Further Guaranteeing and Improving People's Livelihood and Focusing on Solving the Urgent and Difficult Problems of the Masses," to the implementation of special actions to boost consumption... Precise investments and pragmatic measures are bringing warmth to the lives of millions of households.
"Investing in people" means investing in talent development, stabilizing employment, and increasing income. Employment is the biggest concern for people's livelihood. Last year, Guangdong Province (广东省) launched the "Million Talents Gathering in Southern Guangdong" action plan, absorbing more than 1.1 million fresh college graduates to find employment and start businesses in Guangdong (粤), and 22.38 million skilled talents to delve into their respective positions. More than 500,000 subsidized training sessions were carried out throughout the year. From stabilizing job returns to social security subsidies, from entrepreneurial guaranteed loans to skills upgrading subsidies, local governments and departments are taking practical measures with real money, placing the growth of people, the vitality of people, and the sense of gain of people in the first place, so that every worker can realize their life value through their own efforts.
"Investing in people" means investing in urgent and difficult problems, addressing shortcomings, and providing basic guarantees. Continuously investing resources in the areas that people care about most, so that everyone can share the fruits of development, and good days will be more promising. Chang'an Community (长安社区) in Shenyang City (沈阳市), Liaoning Province (辽宁省) built a canteen for the elderly, where elderly people can eat affordable hot meals every day; Sanming City (三明市), Fujian Province (福建省) vigorously promoted the construction of a close-knit county medical community, allowing more and more people to enjoy higher-quality basic medical services through methods such as going to the countryside for mobile clinics... Substantial capital investment makes the sense of gain of each "small family" more sufficient and the sense of happiness more sustainable.
"Investing in people" means investing in the long-term future, increasing momentum, and activating vitality. "Investing in people" is not only a "link" that conveys the warmth of people's livelihood, but also an "engine" that promotes future development. Whether it is increasing investment in education, cultivating high-quality talents, carrying out skills training, improving the quality of workers, or improving the security system and relieving people's worries, it is all about reserving strength for the future. Giving disadvantaged people the opportunity to improve themselves and increase their income, giving young people a platform to pursue their dreams and achieve themselves, and allowing the elderly to enjoy their old age and obtain security. When "people" increasingly become the measure of the direction and effectiveness of governance, the people's livelihood aspect of Chinese-style modernization will be more sufficient.
Those who accomplish great things must take people as the foundation. "Investing in people" is a people's livelihood project and a development project that benefits the long-term. Continuing to put "people" in the "C position" of development, increasing investment around what the people think, want, and expect, and continuously using "investing in people" to better benefit the people will inject inexhaustible power into the high-quality development of the economy and society. 济大事者，必以人为本 (jì dà shì zhě, bì yǐ rén wéi běn - "those who accomplish great things must take people as the foundation," emphasizing the fundamental importance of people in achieving significant goals).

Improving the Modernized Comprehensive Transportation System
Transportation connects production and consumption, domestic and international markets, and runs through all aspects of production, distribution, circulation, and consumption. It is an important support for smooth economic cycles. As of now, China's railway operating mileage exceeds 165,000 kilometers, and high-speed railway operating mileage reaches 50,400 kilometers, helping people travel smoothly and goods flow freely.
During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the railway department will actively explore the integrated development path of "four networks": trunk railways, intercity railways, suburban (commuter) railways, and urban rail transit, continuously improve the regional railway network layout, enhance comprehensive transportation service capabilities, and provide a more solid railway support for high-quality development. Taking Jiangxi (江西) as an example, the railway department is accelerating the construction of major arteries such as the Changjiu High-speed Railway (昌九高铁) and the Changg贛 High-speed Railway (长赣高铁), improving the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network, and at the same time, constructing the Ruimei Railway (瑞梅铁路) with high quality to enhance the interconnection level between Jiangxi and surrounding provinces.

Let Farmers Have More Sense of Gain
The Wuling Mountains (武陵山区) in spring are full of vitality. Shibadong Village (十八洞村) in Huayuan County (花垣县), Hunan (湖南), is moving from poverty alleviation to comprehensive rural revitalization, which is a vivid portrayal of emphasizing practical work and promoting development. Accelerating the efforts to address the shortcomings in agricultural and rural development and people's livelihoods will enable hundreds of millions of farmers to have more tangible gains, happiness, and security. In recent years, Shibadong Village, based on its actual conditions, has cultivated characteristic industries relying on Miao embroidery, kiwi fruit planting, rural tourism and other resources, so that the people who have been lifted out of poverty can steadily increase their income in the industrial chain. Regular visits and investigations are conducted, and assistance measures are implemented to each household and individual, so that policies are truly transformed into income that the masses can see and touch.
In the next step, we will continue to focus on the demands of farmers for education, medical treatment, and elderly care, promote the sinking of high-quality medical and educational resources, expand village-level elderly care stations, take the satisfaction of the masses as the "measuring stick" of our work, practice our original aspiration of serving the people with practical actions, and promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.

"Building a strong energy nation requires shifting the energy system from passively responding to building intrinsic security capabilities." Wen Shugang (温枢刚), member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协), Party Group Secretary and Chairman of China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. (中国华能集团有限公司), said, "Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's energy security has been effectively guaranteed, and the construction of a strong energy nation has a solid foundation." During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we should gradually establish a new energy system with non-fossil energy as the main supply, fossil energy as the bottom-line guarantee, a new power system as the key support, and green and intelligent energy conservation as the energy consumption orientation.
Wen Shugang (温枢刚) suggested relying on the transformation of the main energy source to achieve intrinsic safety, continuously increasing the proportion of new energy supply, vigorously ensuring a high level of energy security with high-quality new energy development, accelerating the multi-dimensional and integrated development of new energy, promoting the integrated development of new energy industrialization and industrial new energy, and at the same time, promoting the bottom-line guarantee with the construction of fossil energy succession capabilities. Vigorously improve the intrinsic safety level of the new power system, focus on building a new power system, comprehensively improve the level of power complementarity and mutual assistance and safety resilience, and empower power network security with "AI+", and improve the anti-disturbance ability of the power system.

Ensuring that elderly people, especially those who are disabled or partially disabled, can live safely and with dignity in familiar environments is a crucial part of the national strategy to actively address population aging. Yu Xubo (于旭波), representative and Party Group Secretary and Chairman of China General Technology (Group) Holding Co., Ltd. (通用技术集团), said that home-based care has become the preferred choice for many elderly people, and the demand for age-friendly renovations for homes is growing rapidly. Promoting the deep integration of the long-term care insurance system and age-friendly renovation policies is an effective way to solve the problem of home-based care.
The deep integration of age-friendly home renovations and long-term care insurance can not only enhance the sense of happiness, security, and dignity of elderly people in China who choose to live at home, but also is a key measure to actively respond to the national strategy of population aging and improve the social security system with Chinese characteristics, with significant social and economic benefits. The integrated "renovation + service" model opens up the "last mile" for integrating medical care and elderly care into the home. Representative Yu Xubo (于旭波) suggested promoting payment mechanism innovation and including age-friendly renovations in the scope of long-term care insurance payments. At the same time, strengthen departmental coordination and establish an integrated management service standard and supply system. In addition, improve the performance evaluation system and build an incentive-compatible sustainable development model.

Transforming and upgrading traditional industries can also develop new quality productive forces. We must avoid 大呼隆 (dà hū lōng - "a great clamor," acting rashly and without proper planning), 一哄而起 (yī hōng ér qǐ - "rise with a hubbub," to swarm into action) and 一哄而散 (yī hōng ér sàn - "scatter with a hubbub," to disperse in a disorderly manner); we must adapt to local conditions and each have our own strengths. "Henan insists on taking the high-quality development of manufacturing as the main direction." said Ji Bingwei (吉炳伟), Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the Henan (河南) Provincial People's Congress. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Henan (河南) will base itself on its resource endowments and industrial foundation, accurately identify its own positioning in the overall national situation, and deeply implement the action of improving the quality and upgrading traditional industries. The Standing Committee of the Henan (河南) Provincial People's Congress will promote the promulgation of regulations to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing, and take the quality improvement and upgrading of traditional industries as the focus of legal regulation, providing legal guarantees for the equipment renewal and digital transformation of "original brand" and "time-honored brand" enterprises to achieve "old trees sprouting new buds."
Representative Ji Bingwei (吉炳伟) said that the next step will be to give play to the supervisory role of the People's Congress, carry out supervision on issues such as integrating into the construction of a unified national market and ecological protection, continuously improve the rigidity and effectiveness of supervision, and use high-quality performance of duties to promote relevant work to properly handle the relationship between the present and the long-term, the local and the overall situation, and effectively prevent and correct deviations in the concept of performance.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a major decision to "accelerate the construction of a healthy China." Accelerating the construction of a healthy China is a major strategic task concerning the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization. Leng Youbin (冷友斌), representative and Chairman of Heilongjiang Feihe Dairy Co., Ltd. (黑龙江飞鹤乳业有限公司), said that health is not only the goal of development but also the support for development. A good level of national health can provide sustainable human support for economic and social development, and is also conducive to enhancing comprehensive national strength and enhancing national pride.
Currently, with the continuous development of the consumer market and changes in the population structure, China's health needs are being released in a concentrated manner. As the basic support for the immune system and musculoskeletal system, adequate and high-quality protein intake is particularly critical. Representative Leng Youbin (冷友斌) suggested strengthening dietary guidance and cognitive improvement, and more accurately meeting the differentiated needs of people of all ages by formulating differentiated dietary guidelines and other methods; at the same time, increasing policy support and guidance for the innovative development of the domestic protein industry, supporting industry-university-research cooperation, and actively cultivating professional talents. In addition, it is necessary to build a "demand side - supply side - regulatory side" full-process regulatory chain and regulatory system, based on the "dual carbon" goal requirements, and comprehensively standardize the research and development, production, and circulation of high-quality protein.

The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal suggests, "Accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and build a beautiful China." Zhou Jinbo (周金波), Director of the Anhui Conch Cement Design and Research Institute (安徽海螺建材设计研究院) and a deputy to the National People's Congress, said that under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals, China's economic and social development has entered a fast track of green transformation, and the energy conservation and carbon reduction transformation process in key industries is accelerating.
The cement industry is a major carbon emitter and a key area for industrial carbon reduction. Conch Group (海螺集团), in conjunction with Huawei (华为) and others, released the cement industry's first artificial intelligence large model, achieving an annual carbon reduction of 5,000 tons and a 1% decrease in standard coal consumption per production line. Carbon reduction in the cement industry is a systematic project, and it is far from enough to rely solely on enterprises' own technological transformation and intelligent upgrades. Deputy Zhou Jinbo (周金波) suggested establishing a cement industry carbon reduction fund, using market-based methods to provide financial support and mechanism guarantees for industry capacity reduction, while also promoting the industry's intelligent and green transformation. It is recommended that relevant departments clarify the fund's operating mechanism and management regulations, attract diverse entities to participate, ensure the fund's orderly operation, and conduct pilot projects in regions with certain conditions and foundations to form mature experiences that can be replicated and promoted, helping to comprehensively transform economic and social development into a green one.

"Su Chao" Popularity
In 2025, "Su Chao" became extremely popular, with 2.43 million on-site spectators, over 2.2 billion online viewers, and over 100 billion views of related topics. At the "Members' Corridor," Jiang Pengju (蒋鹏举), CPPCC National Committee member, Vice Chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the China Zhi Gong Party (致公党江苏省委会副主委), and Vice Mayor of Changzhou (常州市副市长), said, "This is not only the success of the event, but also a vivid practice of the integration of culture, commerce, tourism, and sports."
Jiang Pengju (蒋鹏举) said that the popularity of "Su Chao" is a microcosm of China's efforts to build a strong sporting nation. The "City Super League" in various places has surpassed sports competitions between cities and become an important carrier for凝聚社会共识 (níng jù shè huì gòng shí - "凝聚社会共识," to build social consensus), empowering urban renewal, and serving a better life.
The popularity comes from integrated innovation. Jiang Pengju (蒋鹏举) noted that the "second scene" of the event is all over the corners of the city, and tourists traveling with the game are all over the major scenic spots. Sports closely connect culture, tourism, and commerce. "Faced with the whims and even complaints of tens of thousands of fans, hundreds of thousands of tourists, and hundreds of millions of netizens at each game, all localities carefully listen to opinions and try to 'reply in seconds,' effectively improving the level of urban governance," said Jiang Pengju (蒋鹏举).
Looking to the future, Jiang Pengju (蒋鹏举) is full of confidence: "The 'City Super League' in 2026 will definitely be more exciting!"

Last year was the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区). Mu Yasaier Tuoheti (木亚赛尔·托乎提), CPPCC National Committee member and President of the Xinjiang Arts Institute (新疆艺术学院), said: "I am honored and grateful to be able to participate in this grand event."
Mu Yasaier Tuoheti (木亚赛尔·托乎提) described the changes taking place in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains (天山南北): "At the beginning of the founding of New China, there was only one institution of higher learning in the entire Xinjiang, but now there are 66 universities in Xinjiang."
Mu Yasaier Tuoheti (木亚赛尔·托乎提) introduced that last year, Xinjiang enrolled about 233,000 students in regular undergraduate and vocational colleges. The setting of various majors such as energy, medicine, agriculture, information technology, culture and tourism, and art is highly consistent with Xinjiang's industrial needs, and vocational education is also flourishing everywhere. "More and more young people in Xinjiang are changing their destiny through education, brightening their lives with skills, and can attend university at their doorstep."
"In this land where many ethnic groups live together and diverse cultures exchange and integrate, children have a deep sense of identity with the great motherland and the Chinese nation, are proficient in the use of the national common language and writing, and have a deep sense of identity with outstanding Chinese traditional culture. On the fertile land north and south of the Tianshan Mountains (天山南北), the pomegranate flowers will surely bloom more brightly, and the song of unity will surely be sung louder and louder," Mu Yasaier Tuoheti (木亚赛尔·托乎提) said with emotion.

Why can China's new energy industry rise rapidly? "For more than 20 years, the country has continuously introduced policies to encourage the development of renewable energy. This strategic focus has given all companies and employees in this industry a 'compass'," said Zeng Yuqun (曾毓群), CPPCC National Committee member and Chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (宁德时代新能源科技股份公司董事长), talking about his feelings after more than 20 years of deep cultivation in this field.
"In recent years, our annual R&D investment has exceeded 20 billion yuan, with more than 21,000 people engaged in independent R&D work, resulting in a cumulative total of more than 50,000 patents, so that more than 20 million vehicles in dozens of countries and regions around the world can use battery products provided by CATL (宁德时代)." Behind the eye-catching data is CATL's (宁德时代) unremitting efforts in investing in the development of China's new energy industry for more than 20 years.
When mentioning the next plan, Zeng Yuqun (曾毓群) said, "As a leading enterprise, we will always adhere to the concept of openness, sharing, win-win, and common prosperity, sell Chinese products to the world, and at the same time promote our technology and standards to the world, and work with all our peers around the world to contribute to the new energy cause of mankind."

Strive to Make Maritime Transport Bigger, Smarter, and Greener
Keywords
Building a Maritime Power
China's ocean transportation shows strong development resilience and vitality. How can its comprehensive strength be further improved? Li Ying (李颖), CPPCC National Committee member and Professor of the Navigation College of Dalian Maritime University (大连海事大学航海学院教授), gave her answer: "Currently, maritime transport dominates international trade, accounting for 80% of global cargo transportation. If the economy is to develop and the country is to be strong, transportation, especially maritime transport, must be strong. To strengthen maritime transport, we must strive to make it bigger, smarter, and greener."
"Bigger" is the foundation, while "smarter" is the key leap. Li Ying (李颖) said that China is vigorously promoting the intelligent upgrading of navigation support. By deploying sensing equipment, ships have "eyes" to see the wind, waves, and ships; through collaborative management systems, ships have "brains" to plan the optimal route and arrival time.
"Greener" is also an important direction. Li Ying (李颖) said that China is accelerating the construction of green ports and green ships. Eight near-zero carbon port pilots, such as Tianjin Port (天津港) and Qingdao Port (青岛港), have shifted from crude oil-driven to green electricity-driven. In the future, it is believed that digital empowerment will make shipping channels safer; and intelligent ships with integrated driving experience will make navigation more comfortable.

"I have been engaged in mountaineering for more than 40 years. The most profound memory of the spirit of climbing is that in 1993, I participated in the cross-strait Mount Everest joint mountaineering team. After successfully reaching the summit, extreme hypoxia caused me to lose sight in my right eye and get lost." Wang Yongfeng (王勇峰), CPPCC National Committee member and Vice Chairman of the Chinese Mountaineering Association (中国登山协会副主席), shared this thrilling experience at the "Members' Corridor."
In 2020, Wang Yongfeng (王勇峰) shouldered the important task of being the chief commander of the Mount Everest height measurement mountaineering team, leading the team members to overcome numerous difficulties and rely on China's independently developed advanced measurement equipment to measure the latest and most accurate height of Mount Everest (珠峰) - 8848.86 meters. "Today, high-altitude climbing is no longer exclusive to professional mountaineers. More and more climbing enthusiasts are joining this ranks, which is supported by China's technological progress and strong comprehensive national strength."
In Wang Yongfeng's (王勇峰) view, the spirit of climbing has become a vivid portrayal of building a strong sporting nation, and it is also contained in the daily pursuit of health and self-transcendence of ordinary people. Wang Yongfeng (王勇峰) said: "The construction of Chinese-style modernization also requires the spirit of climbing.

On the afternoon of March 4th, at the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), the first "Members' Corridor" of the 2026 National People's Congress (全国两会) was opened. The members walked calmly and answered each question with sonorous voices.
During the 2026 National People's Congress (全国两会), the "Members' Corridor," "Delegates' Corridor," and "Ministers' Corridor" were held in the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), where representatives, members, and ministers faced the cameras and responded to concerns.
This corridor is short, less than a hundred meters; this corridor is also very long, one end connected to thousands of homes, and the other heading towards the great rejuvenation. It "connects" to the hearts of the people, reflecting the true temperature from the grassroots; it "speaks" the public opinion, conveying the most sincere voices and expectations of the people.
At the first "Members' Corridor," Member Pan Jianwei (潘建伟) used the precision of "an error of no more than one second in 3 billion years of operation" to tell the story of China's technological self-reliance; Member Huang Sanwen (黄三文) used the practice of "drones becoming new agricultural tools" to reveal the secret of China's high grain harvest; Member Wang Yongfeng (王勇峰) used his story of leading his team to measure the height of Mount Everest (珠峰), inspiring us that in the construction of Chinese-style modernization, as long as we uphold the spirit of climbing and persevere, there are no dangerous peaks that cannot be crossed and no dreams that cannot be realized...
Moving the press conference from the conference hall to the aisle, changing the written language into everyday language, and turning "what we want to say" into "what you want to hear."

Everyone said that we must emphasize practical work, do solid work, and seek practical results, take serving the people as the greatest achievement, and forge ahead on the road of high-quality development.
The satisfaction of the masses is the most dazzling achievement.

Whose achievements are being built? The answer lies in the people's yearning for a better life, and is reflected in the people's daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and the four seasons and three meals.
"I want to get a pension survival certificate, but I can't use a smartphone, and it's too far to go to the county seat, which is really worrying." Last August, Wu Guojun (吴国军), a National People's Congress representative and county head of Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County (罗城仫佬族自治县) in Hechi City (河池市), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (广西壮族自治区), felt particularly uncomfortable when an elderly person left behind complained during a village survey.
Luocheng County (罗城县) has a wide distribution of mountains and scattered residents. After a few days of research, "difficulty in handling affairs and running around" became the most frequently reported troubles.
"This shows that our government services are not convenient enough." As soon as the survey ended, Wu Guojun (吴国军) immediately convened relevant departments to discuss improvement methods. "Let the data run more, and let the people run less." One month later, Luocheng County (罗城县) launched the "Video Handling" platform for government services. Without downloading or registering, you can connect to the service window of the government service center by using a mobile phone with a camera function to make an exclusive hotline, and conduct real-time video communication with the "cloud seat" customer service staff.
"Answered within 30 seconds, simple matters are handled within 5 minutes, fast and good," "You can handle things without going out, and 'elderly phones' can also be used, which is too convenient!"... Seeing the optimized service receiving praise from the masses, Wu Guojun (吴国军) said with emotion: "Effectively solving the urgent difficulties and anxieties of the masses and truly benefiting the people is our greatest achievement."
Serving the people is the greatest achievement. Deputies and members said that the effectiveness of all work should ultimately depend on whether the people have truly benefited, whether the people's lives have truly improved, and whether the people's rights and interests have truly been guaranteed.
"Now it is more and more convenient to see a doctor. The data of various hospitals are connected, and there is no need for repeated examinations, which saves money and worry." Not long ago, in order to improve opinions and suggestions, Li Xinhua (李新华), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Health Commission (山西省卫生健康委), felt warm when a medical patient in a county hospital said this.
In the course of performing his duties, Li Xinhua (李新华) heard more voices from the grassroots. During the survey, some people reflected that grassroots medical and health institutions have fewer varieties of drugs. Sometimes, in order to buy a box of antihypertensive drugs, they have to run to the county seat. "Although high-quality medical resources have sunk, the drug allocation is not enough," "You can see a doctor in the county hospital and buy medicine in the township health center, but the varieties and specifications are inconsistent. Some people say 'there are medicines but they don't dare to buy them'"... The original words of the masses in the notebook became a spur to perform their duties and provided direction for improving work.
After several rounds of investigation and demonstration, the Shanxi Provincial Health Commission (山西省卫生健康委) jointly with multiple departments, issued the implementation plan for the joint management of grassroots drugs, realizing full coverage of basic county-level central pharmacies in the province. The medicines prescribed by the people in the village health rooms are becoming more and more "synchronized" with the medicines prescribed in the county hospitals.
"The health of the masses is a matter of concern, and the satisfaction of the masses is the most dazzling achievement," Li Xinhua (李新华) said with emotion.
When doing grassroots work, everything must "acclimatize."

"When the villagers proudly said, 'The environment is good, and the air can be sold for money,' I knew that the concept of green development had taken root in the hearts of the people." During a recent visit, the words of a villager made Liao Wenbin (廖文彬), a National People's Congress representative and secretary of the Ya'an Municipal Party Committee (雅安市委书记) in Sichuan Province (四川省), deeply impressed.
"Ya'an City (雅安市) is an important ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (长江) and a pilot city for the realization of ecological product value at the provincial level. The forest coverage rate reaches 69.42%, which is our 'green family property'. We must unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development," said Liao Wenbin (廖文彬).
There is no "universal template" for taking the road of green development. Talking about the development history of Ya'an (雅安), Liao Wenbin (廖文彬) said: "Only by deeply understanding the actual situation can we find a sustainable development path suitable for the local area." In order to further understand the local ecological resource endowment and industrial base, he conducted in-depth research in eight districts and counties including Yingjing (荥经), Baoxing (宝兴), and Tianquan (天全).
"Taking bamboo as an example, in Yingjing County (荥经县) alone, there are 400,000 mu of bamboo forest for shoots that can be developed and utilized. In the past two years, from fresh bamboo shoots to dried bamboo shoots, the value of bamboo has been rising steadily, and the market prospects are broad, which makes us see the place to use it," said Liao Wenbin (廖文彬). Ya'an City (雅安市) has included the forest bamboo industry chain in the city's 13 key industry chains, and proposed to focus on "bamboo instead of plastic, bamboo food, and bamboo fiber" to fully promote the intensive processing of bamboo products. In 2025, the comprehensive output value of the local bamboo industry will reach 7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.65%.
"Going deep into reality, making scientific and democratic decisions, green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains," said Liao Wenbin (廖文彬).
All achievements must be rooted in the soil of "reality" and follow the principles of "law." Formulating policies and promoting development cannot be separated from a deep understanding of the actual situation. Deputies and members said that to establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must combine with reality, adapt to local conditions, and consciously act in accordance with the laws.
"When doing grassroots work, everything must 'acclimatize'," This is Wang Chuanxi's (王传喜) "local experience" summarized from more than 20 years of grassroots work as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and secretary of the Daicun Party Committee (代村党委书记) in Lanling County (兰陵县), Shandong Province (山东省).
In recent years, Daicun (代村) has combined with market demand and developed rural tourism in accordance with the trend. The industry has risen, but some problems have also emerged: the difference in passenger flow between peak and off-seasons is obvious, and the phenomenon of idle human and material resources in the off-season is more prominent.
"How can we achieve 'evergreen'?" It's useless to think about it. Wang Chuanxi (王传喜) and members of the village committee went out to learn experience, and talked with practitioners from all over the world about advantages and problems. After returning, Wang Chuanxi (王传喜) took stock of Daicun's (代村) tourism resources, studied passenger flow, consumption and other data, analyzed tourist preferences, and proposed the idea of "spring tour of the sea of flowers, summer taste of water rhyme, autumn harvest, and winter search for pine and snow," so that the village has passenger flow in all seasons, and the villagers can work and increase income throughout the year.
"Whether it is promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside or actively performing our duties, we must have mud on our feet and the masses in our hearts," said Wang Chuanxi (王传喜).
Practical work produces real results, and steady progress is made.

Governing is valuable in action, and "governing with reality." Achievements are all made by doing, and only real work can produce real achievements and real achievements.
"Mountain children, when they encounter high academic pressure, and it is not easy to find a psychological counselor, what should they do?" "It's distracting to bring a mobile phone to school, and it's difficult to contact if you don't bring it, which is a dilemma!"... Zhang Shiying (张世影), a National People's Congress representative and secretary of the Mengla County Party Committee (勐腊县委书记) of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture (西双版纳傣族自治州), Yunnan Province (云南省), opened his research notes: How to solve the outflow of high-quality students, how to build a "strong education county"... One topic after another lingered in his mind.
"Sitting in the office, you can't touch the real problems, and you can't think of good solutions." Every year around Teachers' Day, Zhang Shiying (张世影) spends nearly a month plunging into schools and villages, chatting with principals about the difficulties of running schools, listening to teachers talk about teaching problems, and calculating education accounts with villagers. During the years of performing his duties, he ran through all the schools in the county, and the principals joked when they saw him: "Our 'external principal' is here."
Once, Zhang Shiying (张世影) went to a vocational and technical school to conduct research, and some graduating students confided to him their worries about finding a job. How to help these children? After several visits, Zhang Shiying (张世影) found the crux of the problem: "The number of factories in the county is limited, students have few internship opportunities, and they are not competitive in the job market."
Taking stock of students' employment intentions and contacting villages and towns to find new opportunities, Zhang Shiying (张世影) came up with a "school-village cooperation" plan, so that each class or group of the vocational and technical school would be connected to a village, and 27 school-village cooperation bases were established. Students who learn to cook go to homestays to help cook, and students who learn to be tour guides go to scenic spots to explain... "The students have exercised their skills and realized their life values in the vast world of the countryside," said Zhang Shiying (张世影).
"To perform our duties conscientiously, we must have problems in our hearts and solutions in our hands," said Zhang Shiying (张世影). In his opinion, only by taking one step at a time and moving forward steadily can we solve real problems, and only by working hard can we achieve real results.
Promoting high-quality economic and social development requires practical work based on reality and with long-term goals in mind. Deputies and members said that we should do more work to lay the foundation and benefit the long term, be willing to do preparatory work, and be willing to grasp unfinished things.
Facing the complex drawings of major national instruments, Li Zhiqiang (李志强), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chief technical expert of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (中国航空工业集团), deeply knows the weight of "time." "The development of a modern aircraft takes as long as one or two decades. The 'success' in the aviation field has never been achieved overnight. Each of us is a link in this long chain," said Li Zhiqiang (李志强).
Li Zhiqiang (李志强) compared the huge scientific research collaboration to a symphony orchestra. In the tackling of carbon fiber composite materials for large aircraft, close cooperation is needed between upstream chemical experts, midstream material experts, and downstream enterprise engineers. He said: "'The conductor' is the national strategic need, and 'the score' is scientific organization and management. As scientific and technological workers, what we can do is to 久久为功 (jiǔ jiǔ wéi gōng - "achieve success through persistent effort," to achieve success through long-term, unremitting effort), adhere to long-termism, and use more scientific research results on major national instruments."

A suggestion is a collection of voices from the people; a resolution is a practice of democracy.
On the eve of the 2026 National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议) (Two Sessions), the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会代表工委) announced typical cases of high-quality handling of deputies' suggestions in 2025. From the careful forging of local brands to the in-depth advancement of intelligent manufacturing, from safeguarding "You of the Youth" to balancing the ecological ledger on both sides of the river, these fruitful practices are a vivid embodiment of "the people's demands are met by the government," and a powerful proof of the efficient operation of the national governance system and the strong vitality of whole-process people's democracy.
High-quality opinions and suggestions stem from deep feelings for the people and solid research; highly effective handling and implementation rely on institutionalized communication, coordination, and feedback mechanisms. Whether it is observation and reflection rooted in the front line, or insightful opinions based on professional fields, they are all carefully studied, fully absorbed, and effectively handled by relevant departments in the complete chain. This dynamic process transcends simple "handling"; it allows public sentiment and opinions to find institutionalized channels of expression and solutions, and ultimately condenses into a policy synergy and practical impetus for promoting national development, social progress, and improving people's livelihoods.
The power of the system is particularly evident in the coordinate system of time. Looking back at the "14th Five-Year Plan," the advancement of many key tasks and the breakthrough of development bottlenecks, from macro blueprints to micro goals, are inseparable from the suggestions and suggestions of deputies and members, and inseparable from the governance effectiveness stimulated by the handling of opinions and suggestions. One by one, opinions and suggestions, like trickles of water, flow into the river of national development. As we forge ahead into the "15th Five-Year Plan," we need to gather wisdom and build consensus even more. Deputies and members shoulder important responsibilities, go to the grand meeting of spring together, gather wisdom, gather strength, and start a new journey.
The National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议) (Two Sessions) are an important window for observing Chinese-style democracy. Here, the Party's propositions and the people's will rise to the national will through legal procedures. Full research and deliberation before decision-making, extensive discussion and consultation during decision-making, and efficient execution and feedback after decision-making... Whole-process people's democracy, which is full-chain, all-round, and all-encompassing, ensures that the voices of the people can be heard and the participation of the people can be seen in all aspects of national political and social life.
The bugle call for a new journey has been sounded. Drawing confidence from the fruitful achievements of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and marching towards the magnificent journey of the "15th Five-Year Plan," it is particularly necessary to stimulate the creative power of hundreds of millions of people. We look forward to continuously transforming the wisdom and opinions of the people into governance effectiveness, continuously transforming institutional advantages into development advantages, and jointly gathering into a powerful force for promoting Chinese-style modernization!
Return to TopChina has 85 million people with disabilities, and the "digital intelligence assistance for the disabled" field currently faces many challenges. For example, core technologies are weak, and R&D investment in key areas such as brain-computer interfaces and high-end intelligent assistive devices needs to be further increased; the industrial ecosystem needs to be further improved, the collaborative mechanism of industry, academia, research, and application needs to be improved, and help to open up the "last mile" of achievement transformation.
To this end, it is urgent to incorporate "digital intelligence assistance for the disabled" into the key directions of the national artificial intelligence industry development. It is recommended to clarify its strategic positioning and development goals in relevant artificial intelligence development plans, establish special R&D funds, strengthen the tackling of core technologies such as brain-computer interfaces and intelligent assistive devices, and promote the transformation of technological achievements, and build a national achievement transformation platform to open up the "last mile." At the same time, the industrial ecosystem should also be improved, industrial clusters and leading enterprises should be cultivated, and the application should be promoted in key scenarios.

With the continuous expansion of computing power-related needs, the demand for electricity is growing exponentially. At present, China's coordinated development of computing power and electricity faces challenges: First, there is a spatial mismatch between computing power demand and electricity supply. The eastern region has a large demand for computing power, but the proportion of energy is relatively low; second, electricity prices push up costs, and electricity expenses account for a large proportion of the operating costs of intelligent computing centers; third, the layout of the new energy system needs to be improved urgently.
It is recommended to strengthen the power supply and policy support for intelligent computing centers: First, strengthen the power supply guarantee, promote the two-way coordination of computing power and electricity, guide the westward transfer of high-energy-consuming computing power demand, and encourage power infrastructure to follow the layout of computing power, and improve cross-regional power transmission channels; second, support intelligent computing centers to participate in cross-provincial electricity market transactions, and promote their direct connection with green electricity, nuclear power and other power generation enterprises to reduce energy costs.

Building a unified national market is a need to build a new development pattern and promote high-quality development.
It is recommended to deepen scientific and technological empowerment, promote unified market supervision and law enforcement, and help build a unified national market. Integrate cross-departmental and cross-regional regulatory data, build a unified national, real-time sharing online platform, and realize "one-stop view" of the entire life cycle information of business entities. Promote non-site and penetrating supervision, apply big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, and develop auxiliary law enforcement systems covering monitoring, early warning, and verification functions. Promote the interconnection and mutual recognition of supervision and credit information, improve the unified national credit information publicity platform, comprehensively collect and share law enforcement results and credit disciplinary information in real time, and consolidate the foundation for implementing hierarchical and classified supervision based on credit.

Return to TopDuring the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's insurance industry achieved a dual improvement in scale and quality while serving the overall national situation, and also played an increasingly important role in the global economic landscape.
As the main force in the financial insurance field, the People's Insurance Group of China Co., Ltd. (中国人保) (hereinafter referred to as "PICC") has always integrated its own development into the overall development situation. With outstanding data and solid actions, it has written a beautiful chapter that resonates with the times and progresses with the people. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, PICC cumulatively undertook insurance liability of 139 trillion yuan, with a compound growth rate of 20%; cumulative claims payments exceeded 2 trillion yuan, with an average daily payment of approximately 1.1 billion yuan, an increase of 47% compared to the "13th Five-Year Plan" period; premium income continuously crossed the 600 billion yuan and 700 billion yuan thresholds, and its comprehensive strength continued to increase; the scale of managed assets was nearly 4.6 trillion yuan.
Standing at a new starting point, PICC will continue to adhere to its mission of "People's Insurance Serving the People," anchor its goal of "building a world-class insurance group," and bravely stand at the forefront, setting sail fully prepared.
Forging ahead, consolidating the foundation for high-quality development while serving the overall situation.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, facing a complex and severe internal and external environment, the Chinese economy demonstrated strong resilience, and in 2025, the domestic gross domestic product (GDP) crossed a new threshold of 140 trillion yuan. In this historical process, PICC has always resonated with national development, and its operational resilience and development determination have become increasingly prominent. In 2025, PICC achieved premium income of 738.3 billion yuan, 1.3 times that of 2020, and net profit growth was significantly faster than premium growth, achieving coordinated improvement in scale and efficiency, social responsibility, and economic benefits.
PICC always keeps the "big picture of the country" (国之大者) (guó zhī dà zhě - "the most important affairs of the nation," refers to the overall interests and long-term goals of the country) in mind and continues to demonstrate the value of insurance in serving the real economy, ensuring people's well-being, and maintaining social stability. In 2025, PICC undertook insurance liability of 36.48 trillion yuan and paid out 473 billion yuan in claims, effectively playing the role of an economic "shock absorber" and a social "stabilizer." From comprehensive rural revitalization to technological innovation, from green transformation to disaster response, PICC provides solid guarantees to weave a solid "safety net" for the high-quality development of the economy and society.
Deeply cultivating the "five major articles" of finance, precisely irrigating the real economy and people's livelihood security.
When finance is active, the economy is active; when finance is stable, the economy is stable. Over the past five years, PICC has focused on its primary responsibilities and main business, solidly worked on the "five major articles" of finance, and precisely channeled financial resources to key areas and weak links of the national economy.
In the field of technology finance, focusing on high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, PICC has innovatively constructed a technology insurance system covering 13 categories and over 200 products, providing guarantees for 116,000 high-tech enterprises and 57,000 specialized and new enterprises, undertaking insurance liability of 51.2 trillion yuan, and safeguarding technological innovation. In the field of green finance, PICC's green insurance undertakes risk protection of 267 trillion yuan, insures nearly 20% of the world's new energy vehicles, and green investment increased by 29%, comprehensively contributing to green and low-carbon development. In the field of inclusive finance, PICC goes downwards and weaves a dense network, with social security business covering nearly 1.52 billion people, actively serving new urban residents, small and micro enterprises, and other groups, and promoting common prosperity. In the field of pension finance, vigorously develop the second and third pillars of pension insurance, with an annuity management scale of 724.1 billion yuan, and actively build an "insurance + health and elderly care" ecosystem to help build a multi-level and multi-pillar pension insurance system. In the field of digital finance, drive the transformation of production methods and governance methods through digital transformation, formulate an "Artificial Intelligence +" action plan, and empower service quality improvement and efficiency acceleration with technology.
Accurately grasp the historical orientation and bravely shoulder the mission of a central financial enterprise in the new journey of Chinese-style modernization.
Those who understand the situation are wise, and those who control the situation win. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China's development is in a period where strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, and uncertain and unpredictable factors are increasing. PICC deeply recognizes that it must place its own development within the grand coordinate system of Chinese-style modernization and accurately grasp the historical orientation of a central financial enterprise in order to be a good vanguard in serving the overall situation, a main force in serving the real economy, and a leading goose in safeguarding people's well-being.
With the continuous increase in per capita GDP, the continuous expansion of domestic demand, the vigorous development of new quality productive forces, and profound changes in the population structure, society's demand for risk management, wealth management, and health and elderly care is increasing, and insurance is increasingly becoming an important part of the national governance system and governance capacity modernization, and an important institutional arrangement for optimizing resource allocation and promoting social equity. PICC deeply grasps development trends, actively promotes the high-quality development of life insurance and the transformation of old and new momentum in property insurance, comprehensively leverages the functions of the insurance industry such as risk protection and long-term capital, and fully serves the construction of a strong financial nation.
Striving forward in the "15th Five-Year Plan," PICC will further enhance its strategic positioning and more actively integrate into the overall development situation and accurately connect with national strategies. In 2026, PICC will participate in cross-cycle and counter-cyclical adjustments through insurance mechanism innovation in serving the promotion of consumption, innovation-driven development, opening-up, coordinated development, "dual carbon" leadership, and people's livelihood security, helping to smooth economic circulation and stimulate social vitality.
Five major aspects are coordinated and linked, and "six reforms" stimulate the endogenous动力 (dònglì - "driving force," the internal power that drives development) for building a world-class enterprise.
2026 is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." In order to solidly carry out various tasks, PICC has clarified the annual work tasks: taking the "building a first-class" strategy as the overall command, coordinating the four major relationships of speed and quality, consolidating advantages and cultivating new ones, overall and local, and development and security, to ensure a high-quality start to the "15th Five-Year Plan."
Focusing on the main line of high-quality development, PICC has clarified five major aspects of work focus: building a high-quality business portfolio, enhancing high-quality service capabilities, expanding high-quality investment, deepening quality improvement, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancement, and doing a good job in high-quality market value management. The five major aspects are coordinated and linked to promote the effective improvement of quality and the rational growth of quantity.
To build a world-class enterprise, only reform can break through. Traditional path dependence and internal management bottlenecks are the key constraints on PICC's high-quality development. Therefore, on the basis of the reforms during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, PICC will, with the courage to turn the blade inward, expand deeply and extend downwards to cover the "six reforms" of corporate governance, strategic control, empowering the grassroots, customer resource sharing, digital construction, and cadre and personnel system, both optimizing the strategic capabilities of the headquarters upwards and reducing the burden and empowering the grassroots downwards; both breaking internal departmental restrictions and promoting resource coordination and sharing, and facing the future to consolidate the core competitiveness of technology and talent, thereby comprehensively stimulating the endogenous动力 (dònglì - "driving force," the internal power that drives development) for building a world-class enterprise.
Serving the construction of a strong financial nation, "People's Insurance" is committed to practice and opens a new chapter.
A new chapter has already begun, and PICC is striding forward. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, PICC will adhere to and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, unswervingly promote comprehensive and strict Party governance, and build a solid "root" and "soul" for high-quality development. By continuously strengthening political construction and capacity building, it will transform Party building advantages into governance effectiveness and development momentum, and forge a team that is politically and professionally strong, ensuring that the company always moves in the right direction.
Development and security are like the two wheels of a car and the two wings of a bird. In the current situation where strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, PICC regards risk prevention and control as its lifeline, continuously improves the comprehensive risk management system, strengthens risk prevention and control in key areas, takes the lead in compliant operation, and makes new and greater contributions to the high-quality development of the industry.
Standing at a new starting point, PICC will always keep the "big picture of the country" (国之大者) (guó zhī dà zhě - "the most important affairs of the nation," refers to the overall interests and long-term goals of the country) in mind, adhere to finance for the people, deepen reform and innovation, build a solid risk dam, and write a brand new answer sheet for "People's Insurance."

Return to TopAt 200 meters underground in the Zijing County Motianchong Phosphate Mine (织金县摩天冲磷矿), 5G intelligent loaders and transporters operate with precision. The extracted phosphate rock is technologically transformed into high-value black phosphorus new materials, shifting from being sold "by the ton" to being valued "by the gram," increasing its value by tens of millions of times. By the football field in Rongjiang County (榕江县), the "Village Super League" (村超) traffic brings opportunities and revenue, with young people returning home to start businesses selling specialty agricultural products nationwide. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge (花江峡谷大桥), the "world's highest bridge," is not only a technological landmark but also a "bridge to prosperity" that empowers mountain villages through bridge-tourism integration. 2026 marks the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, and Guizhou Province (贵州省) will comprehensively promote high-quality development across all fields, regions, chains, and elements, focusing on vigorously promoting industries, projects, investment attraction, and business entities, to drive the "Six Major Industrial Bases" towards "Six Major Industrial Clusters," writing a striving answer sheet with a coordinated leap in "gold content," "new content," and "green content."
Adhering to quality first and efficiency priority, we will make every effort to enhance the "gold content" of development. In the intelligent production workshop of Geely New Energy Vehicles (吉利新能源汽车) in Guiyang (贵阳), a new car rolls off the production line every minute on average. Guizhou (贵州) is using leading vehicle manufacturing enterprises as a traction force, with 47 supporting enterprises gathering nearby, achieving a local supporting rate of over 48%, accelerating the formation of a complete industrial chain from raw materials and parts to vehicle manufacturing and market sales. This vivid scene is a vivid microcosm of Guizhou's (贵州) efforts to promote the leap from "Six Major Industrial Bases" to "Six Major Industrial Clusters."
Guizhou (贵州) resolutely abandons the extensive development model, firmly establishes the clear guidance of "investment must be effective, and ineffectiveness must be held accountable," accelerates the construction of a "6+3" modern industrial system, and promotes the clustering of advantageous mineral deep processing, new energy and new materials, digital intelligence industries, new comprehensive energy, sauce-flavored Baijiu, and advanced equipment manufacturing industries, achieving a leap from single-point breakthroughs to ecological symbiosis and from scale expansion to quality and efficiency improvement. From 2020 to 2025, the proportion of industrial investment in fixed asset investment in the province increased from 17.9% to 35.5%, the proportion of industrial tax revenue in total tax revenue increased from 34.6% to 49%, the vitality of business entities continued to be released, the quality and efficiency of economic development steadily improved, and endogenous动力 (dònglì - "driving force," internal impetus) continued to be enhanced. In 2026, Guizhou (贵州) will aim for an expected target of around 7.5% growth in the added value of industrial enterprises above a designated size, make every effort to promote the extension, supplementation, and strengthening of the "Six Major Industrial Clusters" chain, continuously improve the local supporting rate of the industrial chain and the comprehensive benefits of the industry, cultivate and strengthen high-quality business entities, and continuously consolidate the efficiency foundation for high-quality development through industrial quality and efficiency improvement.
Adhering to innovation-driven and kinetic energy conversion, we will make every effort to enhance the "new content" of development. The province's computing power scale has exceeded 160EFLOPS. Driven by the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project, it empowers the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing. Guizhou Phosphate Group (贵州磷化集团) has joined hands with universities to overcome the problem of resource utilization of phosphogypsum, built a 100,000-ton anhydrous gypsum demonstration device, and turned waste residue into new building materials. "Fanjing Matcha" (梵净抹茶) in Jiangkou County (江口县) is exported globally and leads the country, turning mountain resources into characteristic industries. From laboratories to production lines, from computing power networks to fields, innovation vitality continues to surge, injecting strong scientific and technological momentum into Guizhou's (贵州) high-quality development.
Guizhou (贵州) leads the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation, develops new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, and accelerates the conversion of old and new kinetic energy. By systematically restructuring the scientific and technological innovation platform system and implementing the "Six Major Scientific and Technological Strategic Actions," the province's comprehensive scientific and technological innovation level index has increased to 54.64%. Relying on the National Big Data (Guizhou) Comprehensive Pilot Zone (国家大数据（贵州）综合试验区) and the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project, Guizhou (贵州) is accelerating the transformation from a "data warehouse" to a "data factory." In 2025, the scale of the digital economy will reach 280 billion yuan, the world's first 400G computing power channel will be built, and more than 110 large model application scenarios will be formed in 24 key industrial fields, with the core industry scale of artificial intelligence reaching 24 billion yuan. In 2026, Guizhou (贵州) will implement the "Artificial Intelligence+" action in depth, lay out cutting-edge industries such as biomanufacturing and embodied intelligence, and continue to inject surging new momentum into high-quality development.
Adhering to ecological priority and green development, we will make every effort to enhance the "green content" of development. The Bijie (毕节) phosphate-coal chemical integration project and the Liupanshui (六盘水) coal gangue comprehensive utilization project have achieved energy conservation, carbon reduction, and circular efficiency. The excellent rate of surface water is 98.3%, the number of days with excellent air quality remains high, desertification control continues to be effective, and the clear waves of the Guizhou Caohai National Nature Reserve (贵州草海国家级自然保护区) have reappeared. Guizhou (贵州) strictly controls "two high and one low" projects, deepens the transformation of ecological value, and makes green the moving background color of high-quality development.
Guizhou (贵州) firmly adheres to the two bottom lines of development and ecology, aims at the "dual carbon" goal, and promotes the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. In 2025, the average proportion of days with excellent ambient air quality in the province's central cities will be stabilized at over 98%, the excellent rate of water quality at the exit sections of major rivers will remain at 100%, and the quality of the ecological environment will continue to remain at the forefront of the country. Vigorously develop the circular economy, deeply promote "rich mine intensive development," promote the deep coupling of phosphorus, coal, and fluorine chemical industries, the province's power installed capacity will exceed 100 million kilowatts, and the proportion of new energy power generation will increase to 43.3%, embarking on a new path of high-quality development with a win-win situation for ecological protection and economic development. In 2026, Guizhou (贵州) will continue to deeply fight the tough battle against pollution prevention and control, adhere to the two bottom lines with higher standards, and continue to brighten the distinctive background color of high-quality development.
Standing at the new starting point of the "15th Five-Year Plan," Guizhou Province (贵州省) will adhere to the direction of intelligence, greening, and integration, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, actively develop strategic emerging industries, and strengthen and optimize the digital economy, new energy, and other industries, using "new content" and "green content" to enhance the "gold content" of development.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Adhere to the principle that cities are built by the people and for the people."
Cities are important carriers of modernization, bearing the people's aspirations for a better life. How can we practice the concept of people-oriented cities, improve the level of urban planning, construction, and governance, and embark on a new path of urban modernization with Chinese characteristics? The reporter interviewed three deputies and members of the CPPCC National Committee.
Dialogue Guests:
Shao Anlin (邵安林), Deputy to the National People's Congress, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering
Zhang Junping (张军萍), Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Full-time Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Kangcheng Community, Xinzhuang Town, Minhang District, Shanghai
Huang Xiqin (黄西勤), Deputy to the National People's Congress, Chairman of Guozhonglian Construction Engineering Management Consulting Co., Ltd.
Improving the Level of Urban Planning
Q: How can we give play to the important leading role of planning in urban development?
Shao Anlin (邵安林): To do a good job in urban work, we must first understand, respect, and conform to the laws of urban development. From the very beginning of its establishment, Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区) established the concept of "planning first," striving to plan every inch of land clearly before starting construction. I learned from my research that Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区) has established a style control mechanism in the planning process and introduced a digital rehearsal model to ensure that every building and every road meets the overall style requirements, avoiding the common "planning conflicts" in urban construction. From Xiong'an's practice, improving the level of urban planning, the key lies in three adherences: First, adhere to strategic leadership and transform national strategies into specific spatial layouts; second, adhere to systematic thinking and coordinate above-ground and underground, production, life, and ecology; third, adhere to public participation and make planning serve the people.
Zhang Junping (张军萍): Doing a good job in urban planning is inseparable from the broad participation of citizens. Shanghai (上海) adheres to open planning and has established an interactive mechanism for public participation in urban planning, striving to make urban planning more scientific and effective. In the process of formulating Shanghai's "15th Five-Year Plan," the "Hundred Interviews, Ten Thousand Surveys" campaign received more than 11,000 suggestions from the public. Improving the city's barrier-free facility acceptance management mechanism, orderly promoting the opening of cultural relics buildings and outstanding historical buildings to the public, and encouraging the establishment of "fertility-friendly posts" and other citizen suggestions were absorbed, providing first-line perspectives and grassroots ideas for planning. Drawing a blueprint to the end, working year after year, Shanghai (上海) grasps the organization and implementation of the plan with a **钉钉子精神** (dīng dīng zi jīng shén - "nailing spirit," perseverance; the spirit of driving nails), implementing the blueprint with rules and regulations, stroke by stroke.
Huang Xiqin (黄西勤): After graduating from university, I came to Shenzhen (深圳) to work hard. I have worked and lived here for more than 20 years and witnessed the wonderful interpretation of socialism with Chinese characteristics on a "blank sheet of paper." After more than 40 years of rapid development, Shenzhen's (深圳) land development intensity has reached 50%, facing challenges such as obvious pressure on urban governance and insufficient development space. A series of urban plans have given a breakthrough direction: Looking up at the sky - Shenzhen (深圳) has introduced local special regulations on the low-altitude economy, delineating test airspace for new types of aircraft in the city's sky; exploring downwards - underground space of 5 to 20 meters deep, rail transit networks, comprehensive pipe corridors, and underground shopping malls grow simultaneously with the city. In addition, the "Shenzhen Strategic Emerging Industries and Future Industry Spatial Layout Plan (2024-2035)" was released, with a total scale of about 525 square kilometers of industrial parks, which will effectively release industrial land and win space for the future of urban development.
Leaving the Best Resources to the People
Q: How can we better build comfortable and convenient livable cities?
Zhang Junping (张军萍): Cities are places where people live in concentrated areas, and urban construction must put people's livability and housing first, leaving the best resources to the people. On one side is the urban prosperity of high-rise buildings, and on the other side is the "carrying chamber pots" scene of alleyway old houses. This contrast was once a major pain point in the lives of Shanghai (上海) citizens. In 2025, Shanghai (上海) will generally complete the upgrading and renovation of old houses without sanitary facilities, historically solving the people's livelihood problem of "carrying chamber pots," and more residents will enjoy a quality life. In Kangcheng Community (康城社区), where I work, there is a large resident population and a great demand for health services. By fully listening to public opinion through research, seminars, and other means, the community health service center has set up a branch center in the community, and the results of urban construction better benefit the masses.
Huang Xiqin (黄西勤): At present, China's urbanization is shifting from a period of rapid growth to a period of stable development, and urban development is shifting from a stage of large-scale incremental expansion to a stage mainly focused on stock quality improvement and efficiency enhancement, and the importance of urban renewal is becoming increasingly prominent. Shenzhen (深圳) has a large number of urban villages and a wide distribution. I myself have lived in an urban village and know the importance of urban village renovation. From serving as a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to serving as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, I have always paid attention to Shenzhen's (深圳) urban renewal and have proposed suggestions for the renovation of urban villages in super-large cities during the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which have been actively responded to by relevant departments. Shenzhen (深圳) has issued the "Implementation Opinions on Actively and Steadily Promoting the Renovation of Urban Villages to Achieve High-Quality Development," and the living environment and urban appearance of urban villages are constantly being renewed.
Shao Anlin (邵安林): To build high-standard, high-quality, and high-level modern cities, we must work hard to build a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network and make full use of underground space. I once visited the east-west axis project of the starting area of Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区) during my research. This axis not only carries ground transportation but also makes full use of underground space, integrating rail transit, comprehensive pipe corridors, underground commerce, and public passages. The person in charge of the project told me that hundreds of traffic organization and construction plans were simulated before construction, striving to achieve "no congestion on the ground and no chaos underground" after completion. This "three-dimensional + digital" construction concept is reflected in key projects such as the Beijing-Xiong'an Express Line and the Xiong'an Guomao Center (雄安国贸中心), which is to create a future city without "urban diseases."
Breaking the "Emphasis on Construction, Neglect of Governance" Mentality
Q: How can urban management be as refined as embroidery?
Huang Xiqin (黄西勤): Providing the people with refined urban management and good public services is a major task of urban work, and we cannot "see things but not people." We must break the traditional thinking of "emphasizing construction and neglecting governance" and promote highly efficient urban governance. Some time ago, a piece of news in Shenzhen (深圳) attracted the attention of netizens: "Ruler Brother" used a ruler to "find fault" with urban details, and the problems he reflected could be effectively dealt with within an average of 3 days. This phenomenon was written into the 2026 Shenzhen (深圳) Municipal Government Work Report. The interaction between "Ruler Brother" and relevant departments is a vivid reflection of Shenzhen's (深圳) accelerated promotion of the modernization of the urban governance system and governance capabilities. In recent years, Shenzhen (深圳) has created the "@Shenzhen—People's Opinion Express Handling" platform, integrating the original 537 channels for people's livelihood demands, realizing "case governance" from solving "one thing" to handling "one type of thing," and embarking on a new path of governance that conforms to the characteristics of super-large cities.
Shao Anlin (邵安林): To promote the modernization of urban governance, digital empowerment is the key. Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区) simultaneously built a digital twin city at the beginning of its planning. Xiong'an's (雄安) urban computing center, full-domain perception system, and other infrastructure have been fully put into use, providing a strong digital foundation for urban governance. Taking Rongdong (容东) area as an example, various intelligent sensing devices have been installed in some communities to monitor real-time data such as people flow, vehicle flow, environment, and energy consumption. Through the "one call, all response" mechanism, rapid response to residents' demands is achieved.
Zhang Junping (张军萍): In urban governance, we must fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the people in participating in urban governance to achieve co-construction, co-governance, and sharing. Kangcheng Community (康城社区) has explored and implemented the "Beautiful Community Partner" program, inviting more than 100 residents to participate in community governance, assisting the community in renovating dozens of non-motor vehicle charging places, and promoting the implementation of many practical things for people's livelihood. Cities are built by the people and for the people. We must integrate whole-process people's democracy into the modernization of urban governance and build a community of urban governance in which everyone participates, everyone is responsible, everyone contributes, and everyone shares.
Return to TopCommittee Member Liao Xiangzhong (廖祥忠)——
Promoting Innovation in Higher Education Models
"In the intelligent era, talent evaluation standards are facing updates and iterations." Liao Xiangzhong (廖祥忠), member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) and Party Secretary of the Communication University of China (中国传媒大学), said that the accelerated reconstruction of teaching models, research paradigms, and governance methods is driving a holistic transformation of education models. Educators need to soberly understand what artificial intelligence "can" and "cannot" do, and what "changes" and "remains unchanged" in human society, focus on improving human-machine collaboration and other capabilities, and better cultivate and demonstrate the value of people in education.
Liao Xiangzhong (廖祥忠) believes that the key to promoting innovation in higher education models lies in classroom teaching reform. It is necessary to take classroom effectiveness as the guide, organically integrate ideological and political education, general education, and professional education, promote the transformation of teachers' roles, highlight the "teacher-student-machine" ternary collaboration, and improve teaching effectiveness.

Representative Xu Haoyu (徐浩宇)——
Helping High-Quality Health Resources Reach Lower Levels
How can more people understand and benefit from traditional Chinese medicine? Xu Haoyu (徐浩宇), National People's Congress (全国人大) representative and Party Secretary of Yangzijiang Pharmaceutical Group (扬子江药业集团), relies on the characteristic construction of the "Home Station" for National People's Congress representatives to carry out public welfare teaching, expert free clinics, health markets and other activities at the National People's Congress representative liaison station, benefiting company employees and surrounding people.
"As a representative from the pharmaceutical field, fulfilling my duties requires deep cultivation at the intersection of industrial development and people's health." Xu Haoyu (徐浩宇) found in his research that some people simply equate "health" with "treating diseases." Based on this, he suggested actively carrying out health popularization, holding health lectures, health culture festivals, etc., to help high-quality health resources reach lower levels and promote the transformation of people's health concepts.

Committee Member Zhou Chaonan (周超男)——
Cultivating Professional Talents in the Intelligent Computing Field
"Intelligent computing centers are an important foundation of the artificial intelligence industry and the infrastructure of Digital China." Zhou Chaonan (周超男), member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) and Chairman of Runze Intelligent Computing Technology Group Co., Ltd. (润泽智算科技集团股份有限公司), said, "To promote the high-quality development of the intelligent computing industry, we must not only build a solid 'hard foundation' of infrastructure, but also cultivate a 'soft echelon' of professional talents."
Zhou Chaonan (周超男) suggested closely focusing on the electricity demand of the intelligent computing industry and promoting the deep integration and development of clean energy infrastructure such as hydropower and nuclear power with computing power infrastructure. At the same time, actively promote the deep integration of schools and enterprises, build a professional talent training platform in the field of intelligent computing, promote the opening of relevant professional directions in universities, and carry out order-based and customized talent training.

In December 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部) announced the first batch of L3-level conditionally automated driving vehicle access permits in China. As a specific stage of intelligent driving development, the key feature of L3 level is the shift from "human-machine co-driving" to "machine-led" under specific conditions, which is conducive to improving travel experience and reshaping lifestyles. During this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国两会), many deputies, members, experts, and scholars focused on industry laws and regulations, industrial collaborative development, consumer awareness, and other aspects, offering suggestions for promoting the development of the intelligent driving industry.
Improving Laws, Regulations, and Management Policies
Not long ago, Mr. Liu (刘先生) in Shenzhen (深圳市), Guangdong Province (广东省), encountered a sudden situation while using the L3-level function of an autonomous vehicle on a city expressway. The system promptly prompted him to take over, and Mr. Liu (刘先生) safely avoided the danger with a simple operation. Subsequently, based on the Shenzhen (深圳市) Intelligent Connected Vehicle Management Regulations implemented in 2022, the determination of responsibility for the incident was completed quickly and accurately.
"The division of rights and responsibilities adapted to new technologies helps China's autonomous vehicles accelerate from technology verification to mass production and application," said Wang Jiangping (王江平), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协委员) and former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部). He noted that autonomous driving-related regulations are a new phenomenon worldwide and need to be piloted through exchanges, especially to improve data governance-related rules.
Ao Li (敖立), Vice President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (中国信息通信研究院), believes that the iteration speed of intelligent connected vehicle technology is very fast, and the driving mode has also changed from "human-led" to "human-vehicle collaboration." The existing road traffic safety system is difficult to fully meet the development of the intelligent driving industry, and relevant laws and regulations should be accelerated.
Industry insiders believe that the global policy window for autonomous driving is getting shorter and shorter. China should adhere to the bottom line of legal safety and have a long-term vision in establishing and improving laws and regulations, conduct applicability assessments of traffic regulations, and construct behavioral norms applicable to both human driving and machine driving.
Promoting the Integrated Development of Vehicle-Road-Cloud
In the Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integration Demonstration Zone in Wuxi (无锡市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), an unmanned minibus equipped with an L3-level system is driving smoothly on urban roads, automatically decelerating and stopping when the red light turns on, and quickly stopping in case of emergencies. Behind this is the full-chain collaboration of road radar, 5G-A technology, and the urban transportation cloud brain, rather than a "technology show" by a single company.
"Relying on the advantages of vehicle-road-cloud integration, massive scenario data, and full-industry chain collaboration, China's 'controllable commercialization' path has taken a differentiated development path," said Zou Bosong (邹博松), Executive Deputy Director of the Key Laboratory of Intelligent Connected Driving Testing and Evaluation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (智能网联驾驶测试与评价工业和信息化部重点实验室). Compared with the "single-vehicle intelligence" of foreign car companies, the integrated development of vehicle-road-cloud can reduce costs and ensure safety.
Qin Kongjian (秦孔建), Chief Expert of China Automotive Technology & Research Center Co., Ltd. (中国汽车技术研究中心有限公司), believes that the large-scale application of key hardware such as lidar and high-computing chips is promoting the formation of a virtuous ecosystem of technology, industry chain, and talent in the autonomous vehicle industry. It is necessary to ensure that key links are independent and controllable by increasing industrialization subsidies, simplifying testing processes, and cultivating compound talents.
He Xiaopeng (何小鹏), a deputy to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表) and Chairman of Guangdong Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. (广东小鹏汽车科技有限公司), proposed that the full-stack self-developed physical AI system can realize technology reuse. He suggested increasing support for end-side large models and building an industrial technology base. At the global competition level, the practice of China's vehicle-road-cloud integration development should be transformed into international standards, so that the Chinese solution can go to the world.
Establishing an Assessment and Certification System
In 2025, a domestic car company, in conjunction with local traffic management departments, carried out L3-level conditional automated driving user training, using simulated experience, real vehicle teaching, online courses, and other methods for popular science. An experiencer who received training for the first time said that he had a clearer understanding of the system functions, usage scenarios, and operating specifications of L3-level conditional automated driving and L2-level assisted driving, and felt more at ease when experiencing it.
"Only when consumers understand technology, trust technology, and use technology can autonomous driving technology enter thousands of households and achieve technological benefits for all," called for Zhu Huarong (朱华荣), a deputy to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (中国长安汽车集团有限公司). In response to consumers' related concerns, he called for the establishment of a collaborative popular science mechanism, with the government issuing authoritative guidelines, enterprises opening up simulated experiences, and the media accurately interpreting technology.
Qin Kongjian (秦孔建) said that the improvement of the insurance mechanism can also increase consumer acceptance. It is necessary to design more pragmatic and comprehensive insurance plans by improving the data interaction mechanism and exploring dynamic pricing models, which is complementary to the construction of consumers' related cognitive system.
Industry insiders believe that updating the content of driver training and assessment and clarifying the boundaries of the use of autonomous driving functions are key to reducing accidents. It is necessary to start with the training of novice drivers of autonomous driving, adding the use specifications and boundary awareness of autonomous driving functions, and establishing a unified national assessment and certification system to build a solid foundation for traffic safety in the era of intelligent vehicles.
Return to TopInnovative China is Very "Cyber" (People's Daily Review)
Shang Dan (尚丹)
Humanoid robots are showing their skills in multiple scenarios, domestic large models are catching up with each other, and artificial intelligence video generation has achieved breakthroughs... When science fiction becomes reality, many netizens comment that China is very "cyber."
Where does the "cyber" feeling come from?
It relies on the power of innovation, relying on the coordinated advancement of technological innovation and industrial innovation. The "Global Innovation Index Report 2025" released by the World Intellectual Property Organization shows that China's innovation index has entered the top ten globally for the first time. The breakthrough of key technologies is turning many "impossibles" into "definitely possibles."
Innovation is accelerating, which is inseparable from perfect policy support and fertile cultivation soil. In recent years, various regions have built hard support, improved the soft environment, and launched combined punches, constantly solving "bottleneck" problems, data silos, and industry barriers, and other "growing pains." Innovation is a complex social system engineering, not a matter of one place or one field, and cannot rely solely on fighting alone. It needs to gather collective wisdom and strength to allow vitality to continue to surge.
In the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," deputies to the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议) brought "new" ideas to the Two Sessions (两会) venue. We look forward to more innovative breakthroughs accelerating their implementation, and in the surging "new" tide, the magnificent atmosphere of Chinese-style modernization will rise.
Return to TopFinance is an important supporting force for the development of scientific and technological innovation. Bank of Communications places the task of promoting science and technology finance in an important strategic position, making good plans and designs, improving the service system, and clearing service bottlenecks. With the responsibility of a state-owned major bank, it injects strong financial impetus into accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
Strengthen Planning and Design
Create an Efficiently Linked Professional Service System
To do a good job in science and technology finance, the primary task is to understand the situation, and the key lies in planning the overall strategy. Bank of Communications actively builds a governance system that matches the strategic deployment of the "Five Major Articles" of finance, realizing the systematic restructuring of the group's strategic promotion mechanism. It established the Group Science and Technology Finance Committee, optimized the organizational structure system of science and technology finance, and formed an efficient and linked working mechanism. It formulated the "Action Measures for Bank of Communications to Accelerate the High-Quality Development of Science and Technology Finance," systematically sorted out policy measures to support the development of technology-based enterprises, and promoted the bank to improve work efficiency and enhance overall collaboration capabilities.
Under the guidance of the group's strategic plan, Bank of Communications integrated resources to launch the "Jiaoyin Kechuang (交银科创)" professional brand. It created a "4+3" service model to accompany the growth of enterprises, established four major product systems: "Kechuang Yidai (科创易贷)," "Kechuang Yitou (科创易投)," "Kechuang Yirong (科创易融)," and "Kechuang Yizu (科创易租)," and built three major scenario ecosystems: the industrial chain "Kechuang Yilian (科创易链)," the science and technology innovation circle "Kechuang Yizhi (科创易智)," and the science and technology park "Kechuang Yiyuan (科创易园)," integrating innovation chain, talent chain, capital chain and other elements resources, serving the entire life cycle of enterprises, and creating a science and technology finance ecosystem.
At the same time, Bank of Communications independently developed a "1+N" evaluation model for technology-based enterprises, scoring and accurately portraying technology-based enterprises from five dimensions. It created exclusive product lines and promoted the "active credit granting" model. Through a full-chain relay-style "credit +" product system, it meets the financing needs of technology-based enterprises in different stages of development.
Serving the Overall Development
Helping the Construction of Three Major International Science and Technology Innovation Centers
The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2025 proposed "building Beijing (Jingjinji) (北京（京津冀）), Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) (上海（长三角）), and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区) international science and technology innovation centers." Bank of Communications seized the policy opportunities, relied on the integrated effect of the "Jiaoyin Kechuang (交银科创)" brand, deepened the service layout of the three major regions, extended high-quality science and technology financial services through cross-regional collaboration and data interconnection, and focused on serving the overall development.
Based on the "home field" advantage of the group headquarters in Shanghai, the Shanghai Branch of Bank of Communications focused on building a system and mechanism, product services, and incubation ecosystem that adapt to technological innovation. For example, it established more than 20 science and technology sub-branches and characteristic sub-branches, achieving full coverage of major areas in Shanghai; used digital technology to actively "deliver loans to the door" for enterprises, so that technology companies no longer have to wait for "loans"; and jointly built the Jiaoyin Kechuang Shanghai Joint Innovation Laboratory with the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission (上海市科学技术委员会) and the Shanghai Technology Entrepreneurship Center (市科技创业中心) to incubate high-quality projects, and linked state-owned capital platforms and more than 180 leading venture capital institutions to provide systematic support. As of the end of January 2026, it has provided loans of more than 42 billion yuan for the three leading industries of integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence, achieving full industrial chain coverage in fields such as integrated circuits.
Deeply cultivating the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Beijing Branch of Bank of Communications connected with the Torch High Technology Industry Development Center (火炬中心) of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部). In response to the characteristics of "high growth, high investment, and light assets" of growing technology-based enterprises, it innovatively launched the online customized product "Jiaoyin Torch Loan (交银火炬贷)," accurately serving the financing needs of growing technology-based small and micro enterprises.
Laying out the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Guangdong Branch of Bank of Communications built an integrated service system of "Science and Technology Finance Committee + Science and Technology Innovation Center + Special Class + Characteristic Sub-branch," giving full play to the advantages of full licenses to create comprehensive service solutions, and implemented AIC (Financial Asset Investment Company) equity investment funds to achieve full coverage of equity, debt, lease and other types of science and technology financial businesses. It implemented the new venture fund business of "national special bonds for government investment funds" to inject patient capital into technological innovation.
Guided by national strategy, Bank of Communications adheres to systematic planning and coordinated promotion, and uses the pen of finance to write a high-quality answer sheet for serving the construction of a strong science and technology country. In the future, Bank of Communications will continue to contribute more to accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and the construction of Chinese-style modernization as a pioneer.

Return to TopAs the first domestic and globally leading digital bank, WeBank (微众银行) has always adhered to the mission of "making finance inclusive for the masses." With technological innovation as its development engine, it uses precise and efficient financial services to nourish the fertile soil of the real economy, applies digital technology to help cultivate new quality productive forces, earnestly fulfills the responsibilities and duties of financial institutions, and contributes to promoting the construction of a strong financial nation.
Adhering to the concept of inclusive finance,
Nourishing the real economy with financial vitality
Since its establishment, WeBank (微众银行) has relied on leading digital technology to continuously broaden the breadth and depth of inclusive financial services, accurately solving the pain points and difficulties of customer groups such as small and micro enterprises, individual businesses, and the vast number of individual customers. As of the end of 2025, WeBank (微众银行) has cumulatively served over 430 million individual customers and over 7 million small and micro enterprise customers, a large number of whom are first-time borrowers.
Deeply cultivating inclusive finance and consolidating the foundation for the development of the real economy. Small and micro enterprises and individual businesses are important components of the real economy. In response to their characteristics of small scale, weak risk resistance, and lack of effective collateral, WeBank (微众银行) launched the "Weiyedai" (微业贷) enterprise financing product. Relying on fully online processes, big data risk control, and other digital capabilities, it has embarked on a path of "affordable cost, controllable risk, and commercially sustainable" small and micro financial services, enabling enterprises to realize the transformation from "daring not to borrow" to "daring to borrow, willing to borrow, able to borrow, and knowing how to borrow."
As of the end of December 2025, "Weiyedai" (微业贷) has covered 30 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government), with a cumulative credit granted to over 1.8 million customers, amounting to 1.8 trillion yuan. Approximately 50% of the credit customers have no prior enterprise credit records. Over the past 8 years, a cumulative total of 390,000 enterprises have obtained their first enterprise loan from WeBank (微众银行); private enterprises account for nearly 100% of the credit customers, with over 70% of these enterprises having annual operating revenue below 10 million yuan. WeBank (微众银行) achieves an organic combination of "universality" and "benefit" with low-threshold, wide-coverage financial services. In 2025, it cumulatively provided credit to 330,000 individual businesses. In addition, WeBank (微众银行) innovatively launched a "enterprise + business owner" dual credit granting model. Eligible small and micro enterprises can obtain a maximum of 10 million yuan in enterprise working capital loans for public operations. At the same time, the legal representative of the enterprise can apply for a personal business loan of up to 500,000 yuan based on personal credit, achieving an upgrade in the quality of financial services from "standardized coverage" to "refined adaptation."
Adapting to development trends and stimulating industrial vitality. WeBank (微众银行) actively serves the implementation of policies such as "trade-in," "stabilizing foreign trade," and "supporting scientific and technological innovation."
In supporting "trade-in," WeBank (微众银行) and China UnionPay Business (银联商务) jointly launched the "Weiyedai National Subsidy Merchant Exclusive Loan" (微业贷国补商户专享贷款), accurately serving merchants in industries such as home appliances and 3C (computer, communication, and consumer electronics) products, effectively solving development pain points such as tight funding, and building a virtuous interaction of "policy guidance, industrial linkage, and financial support," and gradually extending services to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, achieving full-link, all-round financial support.
In supporting the "stabilizing foreign trade" field, facing the difficulties of small and micro foreign trade enterprises such as pressure on profits, inconvenient financing, and long collection cycles, WeBank (微众银行) joined forces with the Shenzhen Branch of the Export-Import Bank of China (中国进出口银行深圳分行), the Shenzhen Branch of China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (中国信保深圳分公司), and other parties in May 2025 to innovatively launch the pure online foreign trade financing product "Weimaodai" (微贸贷). Relying on the four-party collaborative mechanism of "policy bank + digital bank + credit insurance + government data platform," this product achieves full mobile phone operation, no paper materials, and fast arrival of funds, accurately adapting to the "short, frequent, and urgent" funding characteristics of small and micro foreign trade enterprises with a maximum amount of 10 million yuan, helping small and micro foreign trade enterprises to "dare to take orders, be able to take orders, and take good orders," and providing escort for small and micro foreign trade enterprises to "go overseas to expand markets."

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "An important experience in China's governance achieving world-renowned achievements is to follow the path of socialist political development with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), and to adhere to and develop whole-process people's democracy." The "Suggestions" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party proposed: "Adhere to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and the rule of law, and develop whole-process people's democracy." Whole-process people's democracy is a great political creation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), based on China's national conditions, rooted in the land of China, and with profound historical and cultural heritage. To develop whole-process people's democracy, it is necessary to fully understand and firmly grasp the leading position and role of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党). The Party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee for the development of whole-process people's democracy, running through the entire chain, all fields, and all aspects of whole-process people's democracy practice, ensuring that the people being the masters of the country is fully implemented, and must always be adhered to and comprehensively strengthened.
The Party's Leadership is the Fundamental Guarantee for the Development of Whole-Process People's Democracy
The leading position and role of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) in whole-process people's democracy has profound theoretical, historical, and practical logic.
The inevitable conclusion of Marxist democratic political theory. Based on the criticism of the hypocrisy of capitalist democracy, Marxist classic writers outlined the blueprint for proletarian democracy. Marxism believes that the historical mission of the proletariat is to establish a democracy that truly belongs to the people. Socialist democracy, as a new type of democracy, is essentially the proletariat and the broad masses of the people being the masters of the country. However, the realization of the people being the masters of the country cannot be completed spontaneously, and must be organized and led by an advanced proletarian political party. Marx and Engels clearly pointed out in the "Communist Manifesto": "The first step in the workers' revolution is to raise the proletariat to the ruling class and win democracy." This shows that winning democracy and establishing a regime in which the people are the masters of the country is the primary task of the proletarian political party. Socialist democracy is the democracy of the vast majority of people, and must have the strong leadership of the proletarian political party to ensure that democracy develops in the right direction and prevent it from degenerating into anarchism or being re-utilized by the bourgeoisie. Interest expression and interest aggregation, or representation, are important functions of all political parties. People's democracy can only be led and promoted by political parties that represent the interests of the people. The Communist Party of China (中国共产党) always represents the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the Chinese people and does not have any special interests of its own. Therefore, it can effectively integrate the will and demands of all classes and aspects of society in a complex interest pattern, and gather a strong joint force for national governance. Whole-process people's democracy is a great creation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), combining Marxist democratic political theory with outstanding traditional Chinese political culture and China's specific reality, ensuring the people-oriented nature of democracy and avoiding the drawbacks of Western democracy's capital games and political shows.
The inevitable choice of more than a century of historical development of people's democracy in China. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has repeatedly emphasized: "History is the best textbook." The historical development shows not only the experience and lessons, but also the historical laws. The history of the Communist Party of China's (中国共产党) struggle is a history of uniting and leading the Chinese people to seek national independence, people's liberation, national prosperity, and people's happiness, and also a history of continuously exploring and developing people's democracy. Since its birth, the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) has taken "the people being the masters of the country" as its unswerving value pursuit, and has always adhered to the mass line in the process of leading the revolution, construction, and reform, forming the fundamental working method of "**从群众中来，到群众中去**" (cóng qún zhòng zhōng lái, dào qún zhòng zhōng qù - "from the masses, to the masses," the principle of collecting ideas from the masses and then implementing them). From military democracy and worker-peasant democracy in the revolutionary war years to the "three-thirds system" democratic regime construction in the anti-Japanese base areas; from the establishment of the people's congress system as the fundamental political system after the founding of New China to the establishment and improvement of the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), the ethnic regional autonomy system, and the grassroots mass autonomy system, the magnificent history shows that without the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), there would be no people being the masters of the country, and there would be no establishment and development of socialist democracy. The Party's leadership and people's democracy are inherently unified, and only the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) can lead and guarantee the people being the masters of the country.
The inevitable requirement for promoting whole-process people's democracy in the new era. In the process of modernization, a strong political core is an inevitable requirement for a country to maintain a balance between development and stability. To develop whole-process people's democracy and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, it is necessary to adhere to and strengthen the Party's leadership. The Party's leadership is comprehensive, systematic, and holistic, and inevitably includes the leadership of democratic politics. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Only the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) can adhere to being for the public and governing for the people, and fully promote democracy." The Party's leadership is the "compass" to ensure that whole-process people's democracy always moves in the socialist direction, the "booster" to stimulate the democratic vitality of the whole society and promote the continuous deepening of democratic practice, and the "ballast stone" to cope with various domestic and foreign risks and challenges and maintain national political stability and social stability. In the practice of whole-process people's democracy, the Party plays the leading core role of overall planning and coordination of all parties, which can effectively prevent the situation of having no leader and being a heap of loose sand, overcome the checks and balances and internal friction between different interest groups, and transform the value and concept of democracy into scientific decision-making, efficient execution, and effective supervision, so as to realize the unity of process democracy and result democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, and people's democracy and national will. Only by adhering to the Party's leadership can we ensure that all links of democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic supervision are closely linked and form a joint force, build a democratic political pattern with a full chain, all-round, and full coverage, and make the people being the masters of the country more specific, deeper, and more effectively reflected in all aspects of national political life and social life.
The Specific Embodiment and Institutional Guarantee of the Party's Leadership in Whole-Process People's Democracy
The Party's leadership in the development of whole-process people's democracy is specifically and realistically reflected in the whole process and all aspects of governing the country through a series of scientific and complete institutional arrangements and specific operating mechanisms.
The Party's leadership of whole-process people's democracy is realized through the fundamental political system and basic political system. The Party's leadership of whole-process people's democracy is first embodied as an institutionalized leadership. The people's congress system, as China's fundamental political system, is the most important institutional carrier for the Party to lead whole-process people's democracy. Through the people's congress system, the Party's propositions become the national will through legal procedures, the candidates recommended by the Party organization become the leaders of the national power organs through legal procedures, and the Party's line, principles, policies, and decisions are fully implemented and effectively executed in the national work. The multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) provides a basic institutional framework for democratic consultation. Through the CPPCC (政协) (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference), a specialized consultative body, the Party conducts extensive consultations with various democratic parties, non-party figures, and people from all walks of life on major national policies and major issues in economic and social development, widely soliciting opinions and gathering wisdom to achieve scientific and democratic decision-making. In addition, the ethnic regional autonomy system and the grassroots mass autonomy system are also important institutional arrangements under the leadership of the Party to ensure that people in specific regions and grassroots masses exercise their rights as masters of the country.
The Party's leadership of whole-process people's democracy runs through the entire chain of democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic supervision. Whole-process people's democracy is a complete chain, and the Party's leading role is reflected in every key node of this chain. In the democratic election link, adhering to the principle of the Party managing cadres in combination with the people's election according to law, through deliberation, consultation, recommendation, and other methods, ensure that the elected people's representatives and leaders of state organs are both loyal to the Party and the people and have the ability to perform their duties, so as to specifically unify the Party's leadership and the people being the masters of the country. In the democratic consultation link, the Party is the advocate, organizer, and leader of consultative democracy. Party consultation, people's congress consultation, government consultation, CPPCC (政协) consultation, people's organization consultation, grassroots consultation, and social organization consultation are all carried out in an orderly manner under the unified leadership of the Party. For example, in the process of drafting the "15th Five-Year Plan," the Party Central Committee adhered to opening the door to solicit opinions and gather wisdom, and widely listened to opinions from all sectors of society through online solicitation of opinions and other forms, vividly practicing the consultative spirit of whole-process people's democracy. In the democratic decision-making link, adhere to democratic centralism and integrate the Party's leadership into the entire process of major decision-making. Major legislative plans and important draft laws related to the national economy and people's livelihood are reported to the Party Central Committee for approval or requested instructions from the Party Central Committee by the Party Group of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in accordance with procedures. This set of procedures ensures that major decisions not only conform to the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, but also reflect the Party's centralized and unified leadership, realizing the scientific and democratic nature of decision-making. In the democratic management link, the Party mobilizes and organizes the people to manage state affairs, economic and cultural undertakings, and social affairs in accordance with the law through a wide range of organizational systems and mass work networks, transforming the Party's leadership into social governance effectiveness. In the democratic supervision link, the Party leads and supports the people's congresses, CPPCC (政协), supervisory organs, judicial organs, and other organs to perform their supervisory duties in accordance with the law, and at the same time supports and guarantees that the people supervise the operation of power through various channels. For example, the establishment of a system for the State Council to report on the management of state-owned assets to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is a major decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee to strengthen the supervisory function of the people's congress and ensure that the power given by the people is always used to serve the people.
The Party Group system is a key mechanism for the Party to play a leading role in state power organs. In order to ensure that the Party's theories, lines, principles, and policies are implemented in the national work, the Party establishes Party Groups in the leading organs of central and local state organs, people's organizations, economic organizations, cultural organizations, and other non-Party organizations. The Party Group plays the core leading role of "grasping the direction, managing the overall situation, and ensuring implementation" in its unit. Taking legislative work as an example, the Party Group of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress plays a key role in the formulation of the legislative agenda, the deliberation of important draft laws, and the coordination of major differences in legislative work. Before an important draft law is submitted to the Standing Committee meeting for deliberation, it is often studied and discussed by the Party Group meeting of the Standing Committee to reach a consensus on the major principles and key clauses; for complex issues involving major institutional and policy adjustments, the Party Group promptly reports to the Party Central Committee for instructions, and then continues to promote the subsequent statutory deliberation procedures after the Party Central Committee clarifies the direction. This mechanism ensures that legislative work always adheres to the correct political direction and ensures that the Party's propositions and the people's will are accurately transformed into national laws. It can be said that the Party Group system is a "converter" and "connector" for realizing the organic unity of the Party's leadership and the state organs' performance of their duties in accordance with the law, and is an important institutional guarantee for the Party to implement specific leadership in whole-process people's democracy.
Further Strengthen the Party's Overall Leadership and Promote the Continuous Development of Whole-Process People's Democracy
Under the strong leadership of the Party, the practice of whole-process people's democracy in the new era has achieved fruitful results, demonstrating strong vitality, profoundly changing China's political ecology, and contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the world's political civilization. To develop whole-process people's democracy, we must unswervingly adhere to and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, constantly improve the Party's ability and level of leading democratic political construction, and let the people being the masters of the country radiate more brilliant brilliance.
Continue to deepen the understanding of the regularity of adhering to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and the rule of law. Adhering to the organic unity of the three is an inevitable requirement for the development of socialist democratic politics, and it is also the core concept that must be firmly grasped in promoting whole-process people's democracy. Adhering to the Party's leadership is to better realize the people being the masters of the country; the people being the masters of the country is the essence and core of socialist democracy, and must be realized under the leadership of the Party; the rule of law is the basic way for the Party to lead the people in governing the country, providing a legal guarantee for the Party's leadership and the people being the masters of the country. The three are not separated, but an inseparable whole. We must constantly deepen our understanding of the inherent unity of the three and truly achieve thorough understanding in our thinking. At the same time, we must be good at using the Marxist stand, viewpoint, and method to analyze and solve the practical problems in China's democratic political construction, accelerate the construction of a democratic discourse system with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese spirit, confidently tell the story of Chinese democracy, and enhance our confidence in the path, confidence in the theory, confidence in the system, and confidence in the culture. Adhere to the concept first, and guide the whole Party and the whole society to deeply understand the scientific connotation and great significance of whole-process people's democracy through strengthening theoretical arming and publicity and education, and gather the broadest consensus of values for the development of whole-process people's democracy.
Constantly improve the institutional system for the Party to take overall control and coordinate all parties. To strengthen the Party's leadership of whole-process people's democracy, we must constantly improve the Party's leadership of the people's congresses, governments, CPPCC (政协), supervisory organs, judicial organs, procuratorial organs, armed forces, people's organizations, enterprises and institutions, grassroots mass autonomous organizations, social organizations, and other systems, to ensure that the Party fully plays a leading role in various organizations. Further improve the mechanism for implementing the Party Central Committee's major decisions and deployments, and improve the Party Central Committee's leadership and decision-making procedures for major issues in legislative, judicial, and other work. Optimize the setting and operation mechanism of Party Groups in state organs, clarify the scope and procedures for Party Group deliberation and decision-making, and ensure that Party Groups can effectively play a leading core role and fully support and guarantee that state organs independently and responsibly carry out their work in a coordinated manner in accordance with the law. In terms of decision-making mechanisms, improve the rules of procedure and decision-making procedures of Party committees (Party Groups), and take public participation, expert argumentation, risk assessment, legality review, and collective discussion and decision as the statutory procedures for major decisions, and improve the scientific, democratic, and legal level of decision-making. In terms of execution mechanisms, strengthen the pivotal role of the Party's organizational system in implementing decisions, and ensure that the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments are unimpeded and strictly enforced. In terms of supervision mechanisms, with internal Party supervision as the leading factor, promote the organic connection and mutual coordination of various types of supervision such as people's congress supervision, democratic supervision, administrative supervision, judicial supervision, mass supervision, and public opinion supervision, form a regular and long-term supervision joint force, and ensure that democratic practice does not deviate or change its form.
Constantly improve the Party's level of scientific governance, democratic governance, and governance in accordance with the law. Adhere to promoting people's democracy with intra-Party democracy. Intra-Party democracy is the life of the Party and an important embodiment of people's democracy. We must constantly improve the intra-Party democratic system, further broaden the channels for Party members to participate in intra-Party affairs, and lead and promote the formation and development of a democratic atmosphere in the whole society with the fuller development of intra-Party democracy. Improve the ability to use the thinking and methods of the rule of law to deepen reform, promote development, resolve contradictions, maintain stability, and respond to risks, be good at making the Party's propositions become the national will through legal procedures, be good at making the candidates recommended by the Party organization become the leaders of state power organs through legal procedures, and be good at implementing the Party's leadership over the country and society through state power organs. Adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao Experience" (枫桥经验) of the new era, follow the mass line of the Party in the new era, improve the system of Party members and cadres contacting the masses, unblock and standardize the channels for the masses to express their demands, coordinate their interests, and protect their rights, and ensure that the people's rights to know, participate, express, and supervise are implemented in all fields and aspects of national governance.
The leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) is to support and guarantee the people's realization of being the masters of the country. Only by unswervingly adhering to and strengthening the Party's overall leadership, and constantly promoting the theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation of whole-process people's democracy, can we give full play to the advantages and characteristics of China's socialist democratic politics, and provide a solid and reliable political guarantee for the smooth implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the smooth realization of the goals of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection: "To confine power in the cage of institutions, we must not only continuously improve institutional regulations to make them dense but not cumbersome and effective, but also focus on improving the enforcement of institutions and enhance rigid constraints." "Dense but not cumbersome" focuses on the scientific nature of institutional design, and "effective and useful" focuses on the vitality of institutional implementation. The two are unified in the governance practice of "confining power in the cage of institutions," which is the key to breaking formalism in institutional construction and improving the overall effectiveness of institutions. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition profoundly reveals the core meaning and inherent laws of institutional construction, and points out the direction and provides fundamental guidance for improving the level of governing the Party with institutions and according to regulations.
"Dense" refers to the rigor and comprehensiveness of the system, which is the premise and cornerstone of its effectiveness. To manage power, affairs, and people with institutions, it is necessary to focus on the entire process of authorization, exercise of power, and restriction of power, focusing on leading organs, leading cadres, especially the "top leaders" and key personnel, and focusing on important matters such as policy formulation, project approval, fund allocation, and selection and appointment of personnel, to ensure that the norms for the subject, content, and procedures of power operation are rigorous and in place. "Dense" not only reflects the coverage dimension of the system, but also puts forward important requirements for the structure of the system design. Only when various systems are interlocked and support each other to form a systematic and coordinated supervision network can we eliminate supervision blind spots and effectively curb the abuse of power.
"Not cumbersome" emphasizes the simplicity and feasibility of the system, highlighting its pertinence and guidance. The key to "not cumbersome" is to achieve effective and strict constraints with necessary rules. If the articles are lengthy, empty, and divorced from practice, not only will they fail to play the role of regulating the system, but they will also damage the credibility of the system because they are difficult to grasp and leave the executors at a loss. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "no matter what system is established and improved, it should be based on the principle of being legally sound and simple in practice," pointing out the main connotation of "dense but not cumbersome." Among them, the core of being legally sound lies in "dense," weaving a dense network of systems to achieve system integration, coordination, and efficiency; the key to being simple in practice lies in "simple," eliminating redundancy and ensuring that the system can be established, implemented, and truly effective.
The value of a system must ultimately be tested by practice. "Effective and useful" is the functional scale of the system's operation, highlighting the high degree of unity between execution and effectiveness. Whether a system is effective depends on whether it is easy to understand and operate, and whether it can be transformed into governance effectiveness in practice. Whether a system is useful depends on whether it can truly solve problems, prevent risks, and achieve goals. A good system can not only prescribe the right medicine and effectively solve the prominent problems that have been exposed, but also get to the root of the problem, plug loopholes through mechanism innovation, effectively prevent problems from rebounding, and achieve both short-term and long-term solutions.
"Dense but not cumbersome" and "effective and useful" are complementary and mutually reinforcing. "Dense but not cumbersome" is the premise and path to achieve "effective and useful," while "effective and useful" is the standard and foothold for testing the effectiveness of "dense but not cumbersome." For example, the "Regulations on Internal Supervision of the Communist Party of China" (中国共产党党内监督条例) embodies the characteristics of concise articles and specific requirements. For example, it clearly stipulates that internal Party supervision must strengthen the supervision of the main leaders of Party organizations and leading cadres in key positions, and clarifies the key areas of supervision from the aspects of political stance, implementation of Party resolutions, and selection and appointment of personnel, which is easy to implement; at the same time, it is not an isolated article, but forms a systematic internal Party supervision system through connection and coordination with multiple Party regulations and normative documents such as the Disciplinary Regulations, the Inspection Work Regulations, and the Accountability Regulations.
The system must be continuously tested in practice and maintain dynamic improvement in resonance with the development of the times and practical needs. Therefore, dense but not cumbersome and effective and useful is a dynamic and developing state of balance. We must closely focus on the risk points of power operation, the weak points of supervision and management, and the key points where corruption is prone to occur, accurately formulate institutional norms, and solve new situations and new problems. We should do a good job in the "big article" of institutional coherence and coordinated efforts, adjust and update the content that is not in line with the times in a timely manner, and promote the effective connection between power supervision and cadre selection, assessment, and evaluation. We should conform to the trend of modern technological development, deeply embed institutional requirements into the information process of power operation, realize dynamic early warning and intelligent supervision, and empower the rigidity and effectiveness of institutional implementation with technology. By continuously optimizing and improving institutional regulations, we can ensure that the institutional system is full of vitality and demonstrates its advantages, and provide a strong institutional guarantee for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "We must firmly adhere to the bottom line of territorial space development and protection, improve the ecological environment zoning and control system, and consolidate the ecological foundation for high-quality development." The "Suggestions" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party required: "Deeply promote ecological environment zoning and control, strengthen the connection with territorial space planning, and synergistically optimize industrial layout." Improving the ecological environment zoning and control system is a strategic measure to optimize the pattern of territorial space development and protection and build a national ecological security barrier, demonstrating the firm determination of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core to focus on building a beautiful China and deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system.
In recent years, China has strived to create an ecological environment zoning and control system that covers the entire territory, coordinates across departments, and integrates multiple elements. By establishing the "three lines and one list" (三线一单) mechanism (ecological protection red line, environmental quality bottom line, resource utilization upper line, and ecological environment access list), clarifying constraints and access conditions, and implementing refined management measures of "one strategy per unit," precise implementation of governance for the three types of environmental control units—priority protection, key control, and general control—has been achieved. For different control units, according to their ecological characteristics and functional positioning, adhering to problem orientation and adapting to local conditions, different work goals, work priorities, and work ideas are clarified, effectively refining macro bottom line constraints into targeted specific measures. Deeply promoting ecological environment zoning and control, transforming control goals into concrete practical plans, and deeply implementing them in spatial governance to form a closed-loop control of the entire chain is an important path to accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.
Improve spatial guidance and optimize the pattern of territorial resource development. Ecological environment zoning and control focuses on promoting high-quality development with high-level protection, and its core function lies in strengthening strategic leadership and planning coordination. The ecological environment zoning and control system should actively serve national strategies and regional development, and fully connect with territorial space planning and various special plans. In the governance process of different ecological function zones, coordinate environmental constraints and major project planning, continuously explore and improve the implementation path of system connection, and guide industries to scientifically layout according to environmental capacity. At the provincial level, focus on the scientific rationality of spatial planning and the uniformity and standardization of control standards, and effectively ensure that the control requirements between different functional sections such as ecological corridors, upstream and downstream of river basins, atmospheric transmission channels, cities, and industrial belts are organically coordinated and mutually adapted; at the city level and below, focus on practice, and focus on strengthening access management for specific economic and social activities such as project construction and transportation, and powerfully maintain the stability and sustainability of ecological environment carrying capacity. For example, Hainan Province (海南省) continues to optimize the regional coordinated development pattern of "three poles, one belt, and one zone" (三极一带一区) (Haikou Economic Circle (海口经济圈), Sanya Economic Circle (三亚经济圈), Danzhou-Yangpu Economic Circle (儋洋经济圈), coastal urban belt, and central ecological conservation area), and implements spatial guidance strategies that integrate land and sea and link mountains and seas. Strengthen pollutant emission constraints in the coastal economic circle to guide the green and low-carbon layout of industries. In the central ecological conservation area, focus on maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem, promote the linkage of the forest "four reservoirs" (四库) (reservoir, money reservoir, grain reservoir, and carbon reservoir), and explore the path to realize the value of ecological products.
Explore zoning policies and improve the effectiveness of ecological construction according to local conditions. Under the premise of adhering to systematic governance, take zoning control as the starting point, and deeply identify the differences between different regions in terms of natural endowment, ecological sensitivity, development stage, and main functions based on factors such as the natural ecological conditions, main ecological problems, industrial layout, and population living characteristics of each region. Based on the regional ecological background and carrying capacity, scientifically determine the dominant ecological functions and environmental control priorities, implement "one policy per place" for precise governance, and promote the transformation of governance measures from 大水漫灌 (dà shuǐ màn guàn - "great water floods," indiscriminate approach) to "precise drip irrigation." Specifically, for areas with important ecological functions and ecological sensitivity and fragility, the focus is on protection and restoration, and development and construction activities are strictly restricted; for areas with greater development potential and prominent environmental pressure, the focus is on strengthening emission constraints and industrial access, optimizing structure and improving efficiency; for areas with limited development conditions and mainly maintaining ecological stability, the focus is on prevention and control, and maintaining the bottom line of environmental quality. Through differentiated and refined policy implementation methods, the pertinence and effectiveness of ecological protection and restoration can be effectively improved, and the overall improvement of ecological environment quality can be achieved. Tongren (铜仁) in Guizhou (贵州) carried out comprehensive management of "one mountain and two rivers" (一山两水) in the Wuling Mountains (武陵山区), established 3 restoration units, and implemented 6 types of projects in a coordinated manner. In the Fanjingshan (梵净山) biodiversity protection unit, in response to the fragmentation of the habitat of the Guizhou golden monkey (黔金丝猴), 46 kilometers of ecological corridors were precisely laid out and constructed; in the Yuanjiang River Basin (沅江流域) ecological environment comprehensive improvement unit, ecological restoration was promoted in combination with the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside; in the Wujiang River (乌江) main stream soil and water conservation and rocky desertification control unit, the upstream and downstream, left and right banks, and main and tributary streams were systematically managed in a coordinated manner, and soil erosion was effectively curbed and rocky desertification control was assisted through measures such as slope land soil and water conservation and ecological bank protection construction.
Consolidate the support system to ensure that control measures take root. Further improve the guarantee of laws and regulations, incorporate ecological environment zoning and control, ecological environment damage compensation system, etc. into special laws and regulations, and accelerate the promotion of local laws and regulations and related standards and norms to include ecological environment zoning and control requirements. Improve the tracking evaluation and dynamic update mechanism, optimize the ecological environment zoning and control evaluation methods in a timely manner, improve regulatory efficiency, and ensure that the ecological environment zoning and control requirements are implemented. For the problems existing in different control units, especially the problems that arise in the process of ecological environment protection and improvement, increase supervision and promote problem rectification in accordance with laws and regulations. At the same time, focus on strengthening the central and provincial ecological environment protection supervision, order relevant localities and departments to earnestly fulfill their rectification responsibilities and complete the rectification tasks within the prescribed time limit, and continuously improve the long-term mechanism for ecological environment zoning and control. Further strengthen information construction, and make full use of technical means to promote the quality and efficiency of the operation of the ecological environment zoning and control system. Use artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve the intelligence level of the information platform, and effectively improve control capabilities. For example, Shandong Province (山东省) has built an ecological environment zoning and control information platform covering the entire region to realize "one map" visualization management, and through spatial overlay analysis and intelligent research and judgment functions, it provides a scientific basis for the site selection of major projects, reduces environmental disturbance and saves investment costs, and improves the accuracy of digital control.

Return to TopOn the sunny side of the Shen River, a surge of progress is underway: in BMW's sixth-generation power battery workshop, robotic arms operate with precision; Neusoft Medical's production lines are filled with orders; the EH216-S autonomous aerial vehicle takes off and lands smoothly on the south bank of the Hun River; and researchers at the Liaoning Materials Laboratory are working hard to overcome key core technologies. These thriving industrial scenes vividly illustrate Shenyang's (沈阳市) solid steps in driving high-quality development with strategic emerging industries as the engine, and demonstrate the responsibility and commitment of this "Northeast Asia International Center City" to implement the task of "building a modern industrial system and consolidating the foundation of the real economy."
Shenyang (沈阳市) has always been anchored to the goal of building a regional science and technology innovation center with national influence, focusing on the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, accurately exerting efforts and making breakthroughs in multiple points in the cultivation and growth of new quality productive forces and the development of emerging industries, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality transformation of the old industrial base in Northeast China.
**Innovation Source Foundation**
Building a High Ground for Cultivating New Quality Productive Forces
The cultivation of new quality productive forces cannot be separated from the support of high-level innovation platforms. Shenyang (沈阳) adheres to the concept of "platform priority," constructs a scientific and technological innovation space pattern of "one city, one park, three districts, and multiple clusters" centered on Hunnan Science and Technology City (浑南科技城), and promotes the efficient aggregation and precise allocation of innovation elements. In 2025, major innovation platforms such as Liaoning Materials Laboratory (辽宁材料实验室) and Liaoning Liaohe Laboratory (辽宁辽河实验室) were successively built and put into operation, and three new national key laboratories and two national enterprise technology centers were newly approved. The city has 1,924 science and technology innovation platforms of various levels and types, forming a full-chain innovation ecosystem of "basic research + technology tackling + achievement transformation + industrial application."
In 2025, Shenyang's (沈阳) investment in innovation continued to increase, with total social R&D expenditure reaching 26 billion yuan, an increase of 11.2% year-on-year, and the investment intensity reaching 2.88%, steadily improving the ability to supply science and technology at the source. The construction of ultra-large-scale deep engineering disaster physical simulation facilities was accelerated, the Yazhou Bay National Laboratory (崖州湾国家实验室) Shenyang Grain and Oil Crop Experimental Base (沈阳粮油作物试验基地) was signed and settled, and the Northeast Asia Embodied Intelligence Innovation Center (东北亚具身智能创新中心) was unveiled. A number of "national heavyweights" were laid out and implemented, contributing "Shenyang's (沈阳) capabilities" to the national strategic scientific and technological forces.
The innovation capacity has achieved a leapfrog improvement. The "National Innovative City Innovation Capacity Evaluation Report 2025" shows that Shenyang (沈阳) has achieved a ranking upgrade for national innovative cities for five consecutive years, ranking first in Northeast China, and has entered the list of the world's top 100 innovative city clusters for five consecutive years, laying a solid foundation for the development of new quality productive forces.
**Technology Tackling Breakthrough**
Forging the Core Competitiveness of Emerging Industries
Scientific and technological innovation can spawn new industries, new models, and new momentum, and is the core element for developing new quality productive forces. Shenyang (沈阳) focuses on key areas such as high-end equipment manufacturing and new materials, implements major science and technology projects, forms innovation consortia, and has cumulatively overcome 337 key core technology problems, reaching the international leading level in some fields.
In the field of high-end equipment manufacturing, Shengu Group's (沈鼓集团) "Hua Pump No. 1" (华泵一号) has achieved complete localization of the third-generation shaft seal main pump technology, providing a solid guarantee for the independent control of national nuclear power equipment; China Aero Engine Heavy-duty Gas Turbine's (中国航发重型燃气轮机) "Taihang 110" (太行110) first commercial unit was successfully shipped, marking a new stage in the commercial application of China's independently developed 110-megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine; Liaoning Liaohe Laboratory (辽宁辽河实验室) and related institutions released two new generation industrial wireless communication chips completely independently developed. The general-purpose chip reduces the full-link latency between industrial terminals to within 50 microseconds, equipping intelligent manufacturing with a "smart brain."
In the field of new materials, the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院金属研究所) has broken through aluminum-based composite material technology and applied it to aerospace, successfully realizing the industrial preparation of high-purity ton-level Hastelloy (C276) metal substrate, providing core material support for national major projects such as "artificial sun"; Shenyang Sinochem's (沈阳中化) "Chemical New Material Pilot Platform" (化工新材料中试平台) was selected as the first batch of national-level manufacturing pilot platforms, successfully overcoming technical difficulties such as the hydrolysis resistance of lithium battery adhesives, achieving technological breakthroughs in the tackifier field, and opening up the key link from "laboratory" to "production line."
**Industrial Upgrading Empowerment**
Building a New Pattern for the Development of Emerging Industries
To cultivate and develop new quality productive forces, we must lead industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation. Shenyang (沈阳) adheres to the principle of "industry as the key and innovation as the foundation," promotes the deep integration of the industrial chain and the innovation chain, and the scale of emerging industries continues to grow and the structure continues to optimize.
The innovation subject status of enterprises continues to be strengthened. In 2025, the city carried out more than 60 cultivation activities such as science and technology enterprise declaration guidance and entrepreneurial roadshows, dispatched 915 science and technology commissioners to enterprises, and jointly launched exclusive credit products such as "Shengke Loan" (盛科贷) and "Science and Technology Points Loan" (科技积分贷) with financial institutions, providing more than 2.6 billion yuan in financing for science and technology enterprises. The city added 4,765 science and technology enterprises, with a total of 30,083, and is expected to exceed 34,000 by the end of 2026; 632 new fledgling eagle, gazelle, and unicorn enterprises were added, with a total of 2,853, accounting for 40% of the province. All five new unicorn enterprises in the province came from Shenyang (沈阳), forming a gradient cultivation system of "science and technology small and medium-sized enterprises - high-tech enterprises - fledgling eagle, gazelle, and unicorn enterprises." The cluster effect of emerging industries is prominent.
Five academician workstations have been established in Hunnan Science and Technology City (浑南科技城), and 87 projects such as the Northeast Center of the Torch High Technology Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部火炬中心东北中心) have been signed and settled; Shenbei Science and Education Integration Park (沈北科教融合园) Aviation Industry Innovation Port (航空产业创新港) is fully operational, the 2-ton large cargo unmanned aerial vehicle SUNNY-T2000 (SUNNY-T2000) was successfully launched, and the four-seater electric-electric hybrid aircraft RX4M (RX4M) made its first successful flight, accelerating the rise of the low-altitude economy industry; Shenyang High-tech Zone (沈阳高新区) ranked 32nd in the country in the 2024 National High-tech Zone Comprehensive Evaluation, achieving a historic breakthrough. 7 science and technology innovation blocks and 13 science and technology innovation parks have gathered 345 innovation platforms, incubated more than 4,300 enterprises, and the scale of emerging industrial clusters such as robots and intelligent manufacturing, aerospace, and biomedicine continues to expand.
The effectiveness of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements has been significantly improved. Shenyang (沈阳) has deepened the reform of empowering the rights of duty-related scientific and technological achievements, organized universities in Shenyang (沈阳) to implement "one school, one policy" and "one institute, one policy" achievement transformation actions, and promoted the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院金属研究所) to cooperate with 77 enterprises and institutions to transform 131 achievements. The city has laid out 55 municipal-level concept verification centers, added 6 university science parks, and 4 pilot platforms have been shortlisted for the key cultivation list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部), ranking first in the province. In 2025, the city's technology contract turnover reached 83.06 billion yuan, an increase of 14.9% year-on-year, and strives to reach 92 billion yuan by the end of 2026, accelerating the transformation of innovative achievements into real productive forces.
**Talent Support Guarantee**
Activating the Primary Resource for Innovation and Development
The development of new quality productive forces ultimately requires a high-quality talent team. Shenyang (沈阳) has deeply implemented the "Xing Shen Yingcai Plan" (兴沈英才计划), comprehensively cultivating, introducing, and using talents to provide intellectual support for the development of emerging industries.
High-end talents are accelerating their gathering. In 2025, one new academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院) was added, and the city has 29 academicians of the two academies; the Northeast Asia (Shenyang) Talent Exchange Conference (东北亚（沈阳）人才交流大会) was held, and the "Students Pursuing Dreams in Shenyang" (莘莘学子 逐梦沈阳) special action was implemented, attracting 172,500 college graduates to come to and stay in Shenyang (沈阳); an overseas talent introduction map was created, and 182 overseas talents were introduced. One foreign expert won the Chinese Government Friendship Award (中国政府友谊奖). The city authorized 346 employers to carry out independent talent identification, introduced and cultivated 606 high-level talents, and a number of academician achievement transformation projects such as graphene thermal film and special metals have taken root. The integration of industry and education has been deepened. Shenyang (沈阳) supports 17 universities in Shenyang (沈阳) to carry out "double first-class" construction, and 63 disciplines have been selected as provincial "double first-class" construction disciplines, accounting for 53% of the province; 3 provincial-level municipal industry-education joint bodies and 18 industry-education integration communities have been built; the "dual system" vocational education model has been introduced, 112 "order classes" have been opened, 25 vocational education professional innovation teams and more than 60 industry-education integration internship training bases have been cultivated; 28,500 new highly skilled talents have been added, creating a large-scale and reasonably structured industrial talent team.
Talent security continues to be optimized. Shenyang (沈阳) has raised 2,288 sets of guaranteed rental housing to effectively meet the housing needs of talents, allowing all kinds of talents to work and live comfortably, and injecting "source of living water" into the cultivation and growth of new quality productive forces and the development of emerging industries.
The tide surges in the Shen River, and thousands of sails compete, and innovation-driven momentum is like a rainbow. In 2026, Shenyang (沈阳) will continue to focus on the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, build Hunnan Science and Technology City (浑南科技城) to a high standard, cultivate and expand the echelon of science and technology enterprises, and prospectively lay out future industries such as embodied intelligence and quantum technology, striving to break through 3,000 fledgling eagle, gazelle, and unicorn enterprises, more than 40,000 science and technology enterprises, and a technology contract turnover of 92 billion yuan. Standing at a new historical starting point, Shenyang (沈阳) is breaking the path dependence of traditional industries with the vigorous vitality of new quality productive forces, embarking on a high-quality development path led by innovation, striving to **挑大梁、担大任** (tiāo dà liáng, dān dà rèn - "shoulder the heavy beam, undertake the important task," to take on major responsibilities and play a leading role) in the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China, and writing a new chapter in the revitalization and development of the new era.

When the sunlight shone into the room through the window, the 95-year-old man began to recount all the stories he remembered, stories that spanned the founding of New China, the reform and opening up, and up to the new era of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. This is a story spanning decades, connecting two places, integrating cultures and urban and rural areas. It is also a story witnessing the tremendous changes in the countryside, the development of the times, and personal destinies. After retiring, the old man wrote a stack of manuscripts, feeling that these stories should be remembered and continued.
The old man's surname is Li. His childhood was spent in a small mountain village in Longde County (隆德县), Xihai Gu (西海固) area of Ningxia (宁夏). The people here, in their spare time from farming, enjoy writing beautiful calligraphy, belting out a few lines of mellow Qin腔 opera, or beating waist drums and performing Yangge dances during festivals. But this place also suffers from years of poverty due to famine, and the land cannot support its people. After living in poverty for a long time, people always want to change. When the old man was 8 years old, his father, a hired laborer, gritted his teeth and said, "Our family has been poor for generations. Everyone praises you for being smart, so I will send you to school to see if you can change our family's fate."
The schooling his father spoke of meant spending one dan of wheat a year to send him to an old scholar in the neighboring village to study the *Three Character Classic* (*三字经*) and *Hundred Family Surnames* (*百家姓*), etc. He was the only child in the village to go to school. It was not until a year later, with the help of his uncle, that he was able to enter school, receive formal education, and, a few years later, was admitted to a normal school in Gansu (甘肃) with excellent grades. Upon receiving the admission notice, he happily walked more than 100 li home to tell his parents the good news, but the high tuition fees were beyond what his small family could afford. For a time, whether or not to go to school became the most difficult choice.
It was also at this time that Longde (隆德) was liberated. The newly arrived local cadre heard that he had studied and had good grades, so he said to him, "You are 18 years old, why don't you come and be our clerk?" In this way, he became the only person in the village to change his fate because of reading.
From then on, he left his village. Later, due to work reasons, he was arranged by the organization to continue working in Longde (隆德). 1982 was an important year for the entire Xihai Gu (西海固) area, because in this year, the state launched the "Sanxi" (三西) (Dingxi (定西) and Hexi (河西) in Gansu (甘肃), and Xihai Gu (西海固) in Ningxia (宁夏)) poverty alleviation and development plan. Under the promotion of the plan, Ningxia (宁夏) formulated "Diaozhuang Immigration" (吊庄移民) measures. On both sides of the Yellow River (黄河), there were still many vacant lands. As long as the Yellow River (黄河) could be diverted for irrigation, these areas could become everyone's second home. With ideas, there must be action. Immigration and relocation were carried out in Longde (隆德) and Jingyuan (泾源) and other places, and the old man himself applied to work in the Immigration Work Leading Group Office in 1983 and participated in related work. In the old man's manuscript, he wrote: "Diaozhuang Immigration (吊庄移民) is successful. After the villagers moved, they built brick houses and raised sheep, and their lives gradually stabilized. The central government allocated funds to build ferroalloy plants and other factories here, giving it industry. It also combines industry and agriculture, and combines poverty alleviation and development - with agriculture as the foundation and industry as the main body..."
In 1992, the old man retired. He did not live in the urban area of Dawukou (大武口) in Shizuishan (石嘴山), but in the current Linhu Village (临湖村). This stack of manuscripts was also written during this period, detailing the process of immigration and relocation and the development of the village. He has deep feelings for both his old home in Longde (隆德) and his current life in Linhu Village (临湖村). He also calmly analyzes the current situation of rural changes and some of the problems in his manuscripts. But more, he is telling about the tremendous changes brought to the people in this process. He hopes that more people will understand this history, and also expects more people to pay attention to the countryside, understand the countryside, and let more young people take root in the countryside and build the countryside.
The second half of the manuscript is the old man's meticulous excerpt of the allusions left on the land of Ningxia (宁夏) from Meng Tian's (蒙恬) garrisoning of the border in the Qin Dynasty (秦朝) to the immigrants in the Qing Dynasty (清代). History slowly walks from between the lines, re-imprinting the traces that once existed on a piece of land. And the countryside has gradually transformed from relying on the sky for food in the earliest days, to relying on the Yellow River (黄河) for food later, and now to the diversified development of the countryside, in the old man's more than 90 years. The countryside with lack of food and clothing and suffering from hunger has become a thing of the past, and new rural construction is gradually being carried out. This change is not overnight or **一蹴而就** (yī cù ér jiù - "one kick then accomplish," achieved in one step; to get things done at one stroke), but is completed through the implementation of one national policy after another. Whether it is the past immigration and relocation or the current rural revitalization, the goals are the same - to make people live a better life and make the country more prosperous and strong.
The old man's yard is full of flowers and plants. The first thing he does every morning is to look at these flowers and plants. He is always followed by the kitten he raises. Outside the yard on the village road are newly planted trees, newly installed street lights, and everyone is busy going to work and farming, and children are going to school in groups. The village's loudspeaker broadcasts some policies, and the village committee is studying how to develop the village's collective economy. Every day, he turns on the TV, pays attention to the news on the news channel, and learns about the latest national policies. He loves this land so much, and also looks forward to a more beautiful countryside.

I remember reading sentences like this in Qi Jun's (琦君) essays: "At the third watch, dreams accompany books as pillows; a thousand miles away, thoughts of loved ones linger on the moonlit peaks." A quiet night, a lonely pillow, a bright moon, verdant peaks, old friends, and of course, books – a beautiful and elegant picture appears before my eyes. The book should be the "eye" of this sentence, its aura illuminating all the people, events, scenery, and objects around it. It can be said that books, reading, constitute the beautiful moments of an ordinary life.
In 2024, I became a judge for the Malaysian "Hua Zong Literature Award" (花踪文学奖). On October 11th of that year, I went to Johor Bahru (新山), Malaysia, to attend the award ceremony. On the flight from Beijing (北京) to Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡), I captured this scene: the large cabin was not crowded, and most passengers were dozing off. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a quiet girl sitting to my right and behind me, reading a book with great concentration. She was wearing a blue sweater and a scarf casually draped over her dark pants. The book she was so engrossed in was Alai's (阿来) "Red Poppies" (《尘埃落定》). She was reading the version published by People's Literature Publishing House (人民文学出版社) in 1998 as a "Representative Work of Contemporary Chinese Master Novelists," which was quite old. This girl lived in Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡) and was a piano teacher. With her permission, I captured this touching moment and sent it to Alai (阿来) immediately. Alai (阿来) quickly sent back a picture of two blue gentian flowers standing in full bloom on a high mountain meadow. The blue highland flowers seemed to echo the girl's blue top. Alai (阿来) also added a special sentence: "Indeed a beautiful moment."
Another beautiful moment related to reading that I remember is also related to Alai (阿来). Last year, I came with a dozen overseas sinologists to Alai's (阿来) hometown, Barkam (马尔康市) in Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (阿坝藏族羌族自治州), Sichuan (四川). One day, the car was driving on the road between blue sky, white clouds, and green grass, and I was sitting next to Alai (阿来). I noticed that he was constantly reading, reading on his phone. He was using a folding phone with a large screen, probably to make reading easier. I curiously leaned over to look and found that he was reading two kinds of books, one was "The Complete Works of Su Dongpo" (《苏东坡全集》), and the other was "Continuation of Zizhi Tongjian Long Compilation" (《续资治通鉴长编》) without punctuation. In that moment, I seemed to truly understand why Alai (阿来) is who he is, and I knew where his extraordinary qualities lay – it was the cherishing and utilization of every bit of time, the reading habit that he never forgets for even a moment. Not long ago, Alai's (阿来) non-fiction masterpiece about Su Dongpo (苏东坡), "Still Like a Northerner Returning Home" (《依依还似北归人》), was published in "People's Literature" (《人民文学》). Who knows if the seed for that work wasn't planted on that car speeding through Barkam (马尔康)?
Su Shi (苏轼) once wrote an essay called "Record of Books in the Mountain House of the Li Family" (《李氏山房藏书记》), in which he talked about the changes in people's reading behavior and habits at that time, which is thought-provoking. When people had difficulty finding a book, they treated it like a precious treasure when they finally got one, "copying it by hand, reading it day and night, fearing they wouldn't have enough time." Later, the printing of books flourished, and "scholars had many books and could easily obtain them." But what was the result? Many people "put the books away without reading them, and their discussions were without foundation." Is this contrast, this scene, still being replayed today?
This is also why the Malaysian girl immersing herself in the snow and lark sounds of "Red Poppies" (《尘埃落定》) on the plane, and Alai (阿来) conversing with Dongpo (东坡) while traversing a thousand years of history in the car, become beautiful moments of reading, lingering in my heart for a long time.

I remember when I read Guo Moruo's (郭沫若) "The Goddess" in my youth, my heart was filled with longing for goddesses. I always felt that goddesses were the source of inspiration and the eternal theme of literature. This source and theme were inseparable from the excavation and shaping of men of letters. It was literature that gave the goddesses wings to soar, allowing them to descend from mythology to the human world, becoming the emotional sustenance or spiritual totem for generations. In 2002, I went to western Liaoning (辽西) to serve as a temporary cadre. Before I left, a friend who worked in the cultural system told me that western Liaoning was the hometown of the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神), and the Hongshan Culture (红山文化) was a symbol of the dawn of Chinese civilization. You could accumulate some creative material and write something about the Hongshan Goddess.
In 1983, archaeologists discovered a clay female head statue dating back more than 5,000 years in the Goddess Temple (女神庙) at the Niuheliang Site (牛河梁遗址) in western Liaoning. The head statue is life-size and has a full image, and is known in archaeological circles as the "Hongshan Goddess." Niuheliang (牛河梁), at the junction of Lingyuan City (凌源市) and Jianping County (建平县) in Liaoning, is the location of the "Hongshan Goddess" temple, and that mysterious mountain range is therefore known as the "hometown of the Goddess." The Hongshan Culture, represented by the "Hongshan Goddess," has a long history and significant value.
When I set foot on the land of western Liaoning, it was early autumn. When I stood on the Niuheliang (牛河梁) with the autumn wind just beginning, looking at the surrounding dignified black pine forest, I found a large area of excavated ruins, filled with artemisia. The Goddess Temple (女神庙) site was exposed to the autumn sun without any shelter, and the excavated stone tombs stared hollowly at the sky. Due to lack of funding, the so-called protection was only a symbolic iron wire fence on the ridge, which could not stop people and animals from coming and going. I had a lot of feelings at the time. The "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神), which should have been radiant, was too lonely. She had been silent on the hill for more than 5,000 years, but I didn't expect that she would still return to silence after being unearthed. I know that many people in the archaeological community believe that the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神) is related to the legend of Nüwa (女娲), and the clay statue itself is reminiscent of the legend of Nüwa (女娲) creating humans from clay. It is a pity that no one has enriched and highlighted these associations.
As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协委员), I and several colleagues hoped to do something for the protection and research of Hongshan Culture (红山文化). In order to write a good proposal, I came to western Liaoning (辽西) again, to Niuheliang (牛河梁). This revisit gave me too strong an impact. More than 20 years have passed, and the hometown of the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神) has undergone earth-shaking changes. The temple site, altar site, and numerous stone tombs on Niuheliang (牛河梁) have all been protected. Next to the road I walked, an exhibition hall rose from the ground. From a distance, the overall shape of the exhibition hall resembled a deformed jade pig-dragon. At the other end of the road, a Goddess Temple (女神庙) protection exhibition hall was built in the dense pine forest, shaped like a jade box, echoing the large number of jade artifacts unearthed from the site. The two exhibition halls themselves are two unique cultural symbols.
In the wide square of the Niuheliang Site Museum (牛河梁遗址博物馆), seeing the past desolate hills transformed into today's crowded cultural scenic spot, I had a feeling of being in another world. I know that those who come here are not ordinary tourists. They may be looking for their roots, or asking about their ancestors, or wanting to decipher the cultural code of the nation... In short, visitors are also learners and pilgrims.
A fellow traveler asked me: "There are countless legendary goddesses in the world, why are you so fond of the 'Hongshan Goddess' (红山女神)?"
I understand this question. Judging by today's aesthetic standards, the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神) with her high cheekbones, flying eyebrows, almond eyes, and upturned corners of the eyes, seems to lack some gentleness. But I don't see it that way. The goddess of ancient times should be full of strength. You should know that what she "commands" are all strong and powerful hunting men!
In addition to the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神), various exquisite jade artifacts have also been unearthed here, including jade pig-dragons, jade rings, jade bracelets, jade bi discs, jade turtles, and so on. Jade ornaments accompany the "Goddess," which cannot help but lead to reverie: The images of ancient Chinese goddesses are mainly concentrated on some legendary women such as Nüwa (女娲), Chang'e (嫦娥), Luo River Goddess (洛神), and Xiangfei (湘妃). Although they are "gods," their "human" side is also very distinct. Clothing and accessories often become part of their image and "divine beauty." We can easily find evidence of this in ancient murals and literary classics. When we talk about Nüwa (女娲), we always think of her with a human head and snake body, wide sleeves and long robes. When we talk about the Luo River Goddess (洛神), we always think of silk clothes. When we talk about Chang'e (嫦娥), we think of her sleeves stretching out in dance. When we write about Xiangfei (湘妃), we think of her in countless layers of red clouds. Clothing was an important symbol of the evolution of human civilization in ancient times, and the emphasis on clothing reflects the progress of civilization. The large number of exquisite jade artifacts unearthed at Niuheliang (牛河梁), the jade pieces inlaid in the eyes of the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神) head statue, and the perforations for earrings on the earlobes all indicate that jade ornaments had become the standard for the "Goddess" at that time. From body shape to clothing to jade ornaments, the "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神) demonstrates the civilization form and height of the Hongshan Culture (红山文化).
When I left Niuheliang (牛河梁), I turned back several times, feeling quite reluctant to leave. Suddenly, I remembered a famous line: "神女应无恙，当惊世界殊。" (shén nǚ yīng wú yàng, dāng jīng shì jiè shū - "The goddess should be well, surprised by the world's great changes," a line from a poem by Li Shangyin, expressing the idea that even a goddess would be astonished by the changes in the world). The "Hongshan Goddess" (红山女神) should be gratified, because her descendants have not forgotten her.

Recently, I reread Qian Zhongshu's (钱锺书) "Seven Suites," and a sigh in the preface triggered some thoughts. The author said, "It seems that readers in our country have a habit of writing letters to the often powerless author to complain when they cannot buy a book." This is indeed a kind of distress for writers, because they are powerless, this distress becomes a kind of annoyance. However, for the vast majority of writers today, isn't such annoyance carrying a hint of sweetness or even a bit of "tsundere"? Nowadays, the writing environment has changed, and the reading environment has changed even more. Anyone with a mobile phone can almost get any book they want. The supply and demand relationship of publishing, writing, and reading has undergone complex changes. It is hard to imagine that today there are still readers who try to contact the author, hoping to buy a book, or hoping that the author will publish a book as soon as possible. The former annoyance is almost a good story.
Reading should have a bit of a sense of hunger. When I was in middle school, it was still an era when books were hard to find and one would 饥不择食 (jī bù zé shí - "hungry not choose food," to eat indiscriminately due to hunger; to accept anything in desperation). It was very common for classmates to borrow "idle books" from each other. When I entered university, a library could greatly satisfy the demand for reading, but some popular books still had a sense of urgency that was difficult to borrow in time. Going to bookstores has become a habit of mine. No matter where I travel on business, from cultural centers to small mountain towns, bookstores are a must-visit place. The scale of the bookstore, the number of new books, the professional level of book classification in the store, and the probability of finding old books have all become important indicators for evaluating the cultural quality of a city—at that time, it was hard to imagine that years later, even "physical bookstores" would become objects that need special support.
Reading and writing, publishing and distribution, are undergoing tremendous changes in coexistence and iteration, and many topics about writing seem to be rarely mentioned. The talent of the writer and the level of the editor seem to be marginal topics or even ignored compared to the sales ability of the merchant. In this situation, the writer's responsibility, what kind of reader group the writer has in mind, and how to truly affect them through writing are actually more worthy of discussion.
I thought of an earlier example than Qian Zhongshu (钱锺书). Lu Xun (鲁迅) also lamented the responsibility of writing: "I still remember three or four years ago, a student came to buy my book, took out money from his pocket and put it in my hand, the money still had body temperature. This body temperature imprinted my heart, and even now when I write, it often makes me afraid of poisoning this kind of young people, and I hesitate to write." ("Written Behind 'The Grave'") It is this temperature that makes him dare not be negligent in writing, and even more unable to deceive readers in order to satisfy his own wishes. This is the attitude that a writer should have. When readers take out the purchase money full of hunger with body temperature, what kind of spiritual food can the writer offer, whether it can satisfy those who are hungry and thirsty, get enjoyment, experience and harvest the beauty of reading, isn't this worthy of the writer's serious consideration and careful action?

When I first handed the four characters "Fireworks Index (烟火指数)" to the Chengdu Art Museum (成都市美术馆), I was a little apprehensive. Fireworks? Index? One is extremely sentimental, and the other is extremely rational. Would putting these two words together make people think we curators were playing word games? However, this city full of the atmosphere of fireworks gave me confidence. During the recent Spring Festival holiday, the "Fireworks Index · Chengdu Biennale (烟火指数·成都双年展)" received 140,000 visitors. Although some friends online said "some works are incomprehensible," the audience voted with their feet, making us feel that the Biennale and the art museum had already spoken "common language."
The "Fireworks Index · Chengdu Biennale (烟火指数·成都双年展)" juxtaposes the sentimental warmth of the marketplace with the rational observation of the times, providing us with a yardstick to measure the relationship between Chinese art and the public. As contemporary art biennials become increasingly internationalized and embedded in urban cultural tourism, cognitive barriers, expressive gaps, and participatory absences still exist between artworks and the public. The theme of "Fireworks Index (烟火指数)" is an effort to break the binary opposition between art and life, trying to break out of the "elite narrative," and take the atmosphere of fireworks—the city's most vivid daily life, the most simple emotions, and the most vivid cultural memories—as the core of artistic creation and exhibition expression, so that art is not a concept floating in the air, but has a sense of temperature rooted in the streets and alleys, becoming a catalyst for fireworks life and urban space. From the outdoor exhibitions in Tianfu Art Park (天府艺术公园) to the dynamic performances of Tao Body Theater (陶身体剧场), from installations that echo the urban texture to interactive expressions that focus on the living conditions of ordinary people, the exhibition uses "fireworks" as a link to generate "spillover" energy from art and bring it closer to the public.
In major cities in China, the main audience group for biennials is young people. The so-called localized thinking, in addition to culture, also focuses on people. This exhibition made bold attempts from concept generation to section division. The core reason stems from a set of numbers I read before: According to the data from the Seventh National Population Census, Chengdu (成都) has more than 9.6 million people aged 14 to 45. What is the concept? Nearly half the city is a "vitality factor." But data is data, and life is life. Which young person today does not live in an "index"? Likes, rankings, KPIs... We are defined by various external data, and even anxiety is quantified into "depression index" and "stress index." But can these numbers tell you what wine to pair with tonight's hot pot? Can it calculate the degree of leisure of a bowl of tea in People's Park (人民公园)? The "Fireworks Index (烟火指数)" wants to make a fuss in this gap. In the economic field, the index is data, but in the Biennale, it can be a mood, love, a "sense of being alive," and the young people's search for artistic value. What we want to do is to implant sentimental artistic impulses into the rational urban texture, so that aesthetic education penetrates into the blood of young people, and then extends to all age groups, to achieve the family fun of art, just like Qi Baishi's (齐白石) calligraphy work in this exhibition—from the masses, to the masses. Therefore, for this Biennale, we simply let "outdoor first" be a resounding opening. Nine large-scale installations were directly "thrown" into the commercial district of Tianfu Art Park (天府艺术公园), without walls, without tickets, and without "please keep quiet" signs. The indoor exhibition, which opened on February 8, features 328 works/sets by 251 artists from 29 countries and regions. The themes of each section tell you "where is worth it," how to "return to life," and how to spend your "24 hours"...
The artist Xu Bing (徐冰) once said: Sketch training can turn you from a rough person into a refined person, a person who knows how to observe details in the relationship between the whole and the part. This is the deep meaning of aesthetic education, specific and difficult. It is not an immediate educational result, but through continuous immersion, it cultivates the public's ability to "get along" with art. The generation of this ability not only depends on the audience, but also requires the art museum, as a public cultural service facility, to elegantly speak "common language." All two-way efforts stem from the unique magnetic charm of art.

The old saying goes, "Mom is home." Many years ago, after bringing my parents to live in Taiyuan (太原), where I work, I rarely returned to my hometown except to visit relatives during the Spring Festival each year. In the past two years, my aunt also passed away, and my aunt is used to traveling, so my half-century-long career of visiting relatives in my hometown, which started in infancy, has come to an end. However, the value of life lies in continuous growth. Since my daughter was born, we have started taking her back to her maternal grandparents' home to visit relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year. Last year, my daughter was admitted to university, and this Spring Festival, the second day of the Lunar New Year, is no exception. One generation partially overlaps with the life of another generation, the same yet different: the same visiting of relatives, but now taking the high-speed train, the 200-plus-kilometer journey takes just over an hour. Before we even hang up the phone, my child's uncle is already waving to us at the exit. Thinking back to when I was a child visiting relatives, the villages were only within a 10-li radius. My father rode his "Double Bar" bicycle, I sat on the front crossbar, and my mother held my younger brother or sister, sitting sideways on the back seat. We wouldn't get home until dark. Back then, visiting relatives in my hometown, the hardship was for my parents, we children were just excited, especially when riding on the smooth asphalt road, my father would ride very fast, and I couldn't help but cheer, which would cause my mother to scold from behind: "Close your mouth, or the wind will get in and your stomach will hurt!" At that time, going to relatives' homes inevitably involved walking a long stretch of rural dirt road, which was a road where the car wheels had pressed out mud ruts after rain and then dried in the sun. My father struggled to ride crookedly. Sometimes we had to go down a long, steep slope, down to the bottom of a huge gully, and then climb up the steep slope on the other side. For safety, my mother and I had to get off and walk. I was happy to run down to the gully because there was a large jujube forest at the bottom, and there were still jujubes from last autumn that hadn't been picked, which I could pick up stones by the river and aim at to knock down. Sometimes we would pass through the town that was then called the commune. The whole family would get out of the car and stand at the intersection waiting for the coal train to roar past. I could also not get off, sit on the crossbar, and lie on the handlebars to count the carriages. Once I counted more than 100 carriages and it wasn't over yet, which made me dizzy and almost fall off.
In our southern Shanxi (晋南), visiting relatives in those years was a very tiring thing. In addition to the maternal grandparents' home, the paternal aunt's home, and the maternal aunt's home, which were the children's favorite places to go, there were also many distant relatives to visit, and relatives' children who had just gotten married needed to be congratulated. Therefore, parents had to re-plan the route every year in order to be fast, good, economical, and avoid unnecessary detours. But we children didn't care about these things. When we arrived at anyone's home, we would first find something good to eat, and then the older and younger cousins would get together and play wildly, and couldn't be pulled apart when it was time to leave.
Everyone visits relatives, but in my hometown of Linfen (临汾), visiting relatives is not only a custom and etiquette, but also a national intangible cultural heritage. Linfen (临汾) was known as Pingyang (平阳) in ancient times, and it is said to be the place where Emperor Yao (帝尧) established his capital. I grew up in Ganting Town (甘亭镇), Hongdong County (洪洞县), which is said to be the hometown of Emperor Yao (帝尧). Unlike other places that respectfully call Emperor Yao (帝尧), the people there, young and old, have called Emperor Yao (帝尧) "Grandpa" for generations, and his two daughters, Ehuang (娥皇) and Nuying (女英), "Aunt," and his son-in-law, Emperor Shun (大舜), "Uncle." Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the people of "Emperor Yao's Hometown" beat gongs and drums to go to Emperor Shun's (大舜) place to welcome the two aunts back to their parents' home; and on the twenty-eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the people of "Emperor Shun's Hometown" beat gongs and drums to come to our place to bring their empress back to participate in the summer harvest with the people. Every year from the third day of the third lunar month to the twenty-eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the grand temple fair activities, lasting nearly two months, attract countless people from the surrounding areas to participate. Famous actors of various local opera genres perform in turn, which is very lively, and also attracts many researchers from folk custom majors in famous universities. From the perspective of exploring the origin of Chinese civilization, it is deeply rooted in Chinese wedding customs and gong and drum tunes, and is a living specimen of Chinese traditional culture. When I was working in Hongdong County (洪洞县), I received many folk custom scholars and doctoral supervisors and doctoral students from well-known universities. With their help, the "Hongdong Visiting Relatives Custom" was successfully included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. This ancient "visiting relatives" custom is a long-standing mass cultural activity and a vivid and rich evidence of China's civilization history.
From the era of Yao (尧) and Shun (舜) to the new era, visiting relatives contains the cultural code of the Chinese nation's continuous growth.
