  A key

  The planning "Proposal" was formulated under the personal leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

  In March this year, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee decided that the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee would consider the proposal of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and set up a document drafting group, with General Secretary of the Supreme Leader as the team leader and Li Keqiang, Wang Huning and Han Zheng as the deputy team leaders.

  In the past seven months, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over two Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party meetings, three The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meetings and two drafting group meetings to study and consider the overall framework, basic ideas, guiding principles and important contents of the draft of the Planning Proposal.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered a series of important speeches and made many important instructions to grasp the general direction, determine the general idea and put forward the grand strategy for planning the drafting of the "Proposal".

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally made many in-depth investigations at local and grass-roots levels, personally listened to opinions and suggestions from all walks of life, personally revised the draft of the approval document for many times, made strategic planning, and devoted a lot of efforts to ensure that the drafting of the draft of the "Proposal" was completed with high quality.

  An important feature

  An important feature of the planning "Proposal" is to persist in promoting democracy, open the door and ask questions, and brainstorm.

  At the end of last year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader asked the CPC Central Committee and relevant departments in the State Council to organize preliminary research on the economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan. The Central Finance Office and the National Development and Reform Commission entrusted more than 60 research institutions and relevant departments, including national high-end think tanks, to carry out research on 37 major topics, resulting in more than 130 research reports. The National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference organized special research discussions and formed a series of research reports.

  In March and August this year, the CPC Central Committee twice solicited opinions within and outside the Party, and the drafting group carefully studied and absorbed the opinions and suggestions put forward by various regions, departments and relevant parties.

  At the beginning of August this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions to unify the strengthening of top-level design and the insistence on asking questions from the people, to encourage the broad masses of the people and all sectors of society to make suggestions in various ways, and to fully absorb social expectations, the wisdom of the masses, expert opinions and grassroots experience. Qi Xin worked together to compile the 14 th Five-Year Plan.

  From August 16th to 29th, the drafting of the 14th Five-Year Plan was solicited for comments online, which was the first time in the history of drafting documents of the Central Plenary Session. The broad masses of the people actively participated, and there were more than 1 million online messages, from which more than 1,000 opinions and suggestions were sorted out.

  From July to September, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the symposium of non-party people, entrepreneurs, solidly promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, experts in the economic and social fields, scientists, grassroots representatives and experts in the fields of education, culture, health and sports, and listened to opinions and suggestions from all sides in person. 

  Five principles

  First, handle the relationship between inheritance and innovation, and do a good job of organically connecting the goals of "two hundred years".

  The second is to handle the relationship between the government and the market and give full play to China’s institutional advantages.

  The third is to handle the relationship between openness and autonomy and better coordinate the two overall situations at home and abroad.

  The fourth is to properly handle the relationship between development and security, so as to ensure that there will be no systematic risks affecting the modernization process.

  The fifth is to handle the relationship between strategy and tactics, so as to be far-sighted and pragmatic. 

  Three major plates

  There are 15 parts in the planning proposal, which can be divided into three parts in general.

  The general part mainly expounds the achievements of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the development environment of our country, the long-term goal in 2035, the guiding ideology, principles and main goals during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

  The discussion part is generally organized according to the connotation of the new development concept, and expounds the key tasks of economic and social development and reform and opening up during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period in different fields.

  The last part mainly expounds strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee and improving the planning mechanism to provide a strong guarantee for the implementation of the plan. 

  A logical main line

  After building a well-off society in an all-round way, to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we should scientifically grasp the new development stage, thoroughly implement the new development concept, speed up the construction of a new development pattern, take promoting high-quality development as the theme, and deepen the supply-side structural reform as the main line, so as to achieve economic stability, social stability and harmony, and make a good start for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. 

  Three core essentials

  The core essence of the planning proposal is embodied in three "newness", namely, new development stage, new development concept and new development pattern.
