General secretary Serving country's 1.4 billion people is great responsibility

Keeping the people in mind, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has been working hard to enable all Chinese people to live a better life and navigate the giant ship of China, steering on a steady course toward national rejuvenation.

With a global vision, Xi, who is also China's president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, has been promoting international cooperation for win-win results to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

As China's top leader, Xi said that serving the 1.4 billion Chinese people and working with them for a better life is a great challenge and a great responsibility. I shall put aside my own well-being and live up to people's expectations, he told United States President Joe Biden during a virtual meeting on November 16.

Under his leadership, China has eliminated absolute poverty in rural areas, with around 100 million poverty-stricken people in countrysides lifted out of penury, and it has completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and is embarking on a new journey to become a modern socialist country by the middle of this century.

One month after he was elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in November 2012, Xi braved the winter cold to visit poor villagers in Hebei province. Sitting down with them, he asked about their income, and if they had sufficient food and enough quilts and coal to stay warm through the winter. Xi said his heart sank when he saw that some villagers were still struggling to make ends meet.

Since then, on his inspection tours nationwide, he always visits poverty-stricken villagers to learn about their difficulties and help them resolve problems. Over the past nine years and more, Xi has visited all the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions on the Chinese mainland, including very poor villages in mountainous areas.

Raphael Tuju, secretary-general of Kenya's ruling Jubilee Party, said China's poverty reduction achievements are a great miracle, and the people-centered development philosophy of the CPC with Xi at the core precisely illustrates how the miracle was created.

China has eliminated poverty 10 years ahead of the schedule stipulated by the United Nations, and this has happened before my eyes, Tuju said. Under Xi's leadership, China is a welcome development in the world today, he added.

China's strength had significantly risen after more than 30 years of reform and opening-up. Yet, it was not without problems, including downward pressure on the economy, wealth disparities, environmental damage and social problems.

Modernization model

At a critical moment for China's development, Xi proposed a Chinese model of modernization characterized by a new development philosophy featuring an innovative, coordinated, green and open development path that is for all. Based on the new development stage, he called for upholding the new development philosophy and fostering the new development paradigm in order to pursue high-quality growth for the country.

From 2013 to 2020, China's GDP grew about 6.4 percent each year on average, contributing more than 30 percent of world economic growth on average for many years in a row. China's GDP exceeded the 100 trillion yuan ($15.8 trillion) threshold in 2020, or about seven-tenths that of the United States.

In 2021, China ranked 12th in the Global Innovation Index, higher than Japan, Israel, and Canada. It is the top recipient of foreign direct investment and the world's No 1 consumer market.

Yuri Tavrovsky, a renowned Russian Sinologist who has visited China many times and has written many reports on the Belt and Road Initiative, said that President Xi is a leader who provides inspiration and long-term goals to his people and designs the path to achieving those goals. He plays a role recognized by all the members of the CPC and the Chinese people, Tavrovsky added.

Vision wins acclaim

From the BRI, which was proposed in 2013, to the Global Development Initiative that was presented to countries around the world last year for participation, Xi's global vision of promoting true multilateralism and international solidarity and cooperation to overcome common challenges and to seek mutually beneficial, win-win results has won acclaim from the international community.

Tavrovsky said that in this era full of complexities and contradictions, the BRI unites nations around the world and bears abundant significance in history and civilization.

Gulnar Shaimergenova, an international relations researcher and director of the China Studies Center in Kazakhstan, said the BRI has provided a great opportunity for Kazakhstan to export its products to other Asian countries, offering broader prospects for the country to develop closer economic and trade ties with other countries.

She said that President Xi is a leader with great foresight, and under his leadership, a progressive China, an open world and a promising future are there for all to see.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Xi has called for global solidarity and cooperation to fight the virus. Under his instruction, China provided anti-virus materials for more than 150 countries and 14 international organizations. He also pledged to make Chinese COVID-19 vaccines a global public good.

China has sent a total of more than 2 billion vaccine doses so far to over 120 countries and international organizations. It will provide an additional 1 billion doses to African countries, including 600 million donated doses, and will also donate 150 million vaccine doses to ASEAN countries, Xi announced at the 2022 World Economic Forum Virtual Session on Jan 17.

Altay Atli, a scholar based in Istanbul, Turkey, said that under Xi's leadership, there is a transformation of China's participation in international affairs, whether economic or diplomatic. The world is witnessing the emergence of a major country with global influence, Atli added.

当有人幸福着你的幸福……

“世界上最大的幸福莫过于为人民幸福而奋斗。”

什么是幸福？人世间再没有比这更动听的答案。2022年春节团拜会上，习近平总书记的话语，春风般馥郁、暖阳般和煦，拂照亿万人民的身心。

什么是幸福？“心中装着百姓，手中握有真理，脚踏人间正道，我们信心十足、力量十足。”习近平总书记代表共产党人作出响亮的回答。这就是人民领袖的幸福观。“乐以天下，忧以天下”，党的十八大以来，习近平总书记思之所及、言之所至、行之所向，一切为了人民。他一次次深入基层访贫问苦，察民情、听民声、纳民意，行程万里，步步情深。他把人民工作做实、做深、做细、做透，民贫他忧，民富他喜，亲民爱民，一片赤诚。他为实现中国梦、人民的幸福梦夙夜在公，“我将无我，不负人民”，赤子之心，人民情怀。

什么是幸福？为人民服务是最大的幸福。中国共产党从成立的那一天起，就把全心全意为人民服务奉为自己的宗旨。在波澜壮阔的历史进程中，无数志士为了实现这一理想，不惜牺牲自己的利益甚至生命。在砥砺奋进的新时代征程上，无数共产党人与人民心心相印、与人民同甘共苦、与人民团结奋斗。

什么是幸福？“我”愿坚守“我”的初心，幸福“你”的人生，以“我”之辛劳托举成就“我们”之富强。民有所呼，“我”有所应：“人民对美好生活的向往，就是我们的奋斗目标”“要坚持发展为了人民、发展成果由人民共享”“切实解决好群众的操心事、烦心事、揪心事”，把14亿多人的所思所盼融入国家发展、民族复兴顶层设计。而今，“在更高水平上实现幼有所育、学有所教、劳有所得、病有所医、老有所养、住有所居、弱有所扶”的期盼，正成为现实。

岁月曾著风雨，更待满树繁花。有人幸福着你的幸福，这是温暖人间的祝福，这是人民情怀的写照，这是人间正道的注脚。

人民至上，天下归心！

以人民为中心贯彻新发展理念

人民是推动发展的根本力量。以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，把增进人民福祉、促进人的全面发展作为一切工作的出发点和落脚点，发展人民民主，维护社会公平正义，保障人民平等参与、平等发展的权利，充分调动人民的积极性、主动性、创造性。这充分体现了马克思主义政治经济学的根本立场、体现了百年大党的初心和使命，也是新时代新征程部署工作、制定政策、推动发展的重要遵循。

需要看到，为人民谋幸福、为民族谋复兴，这既是我们党领导现代化建设的出发点和落脚点，也是新发展理念的“根”和“魂”。只有坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，坚持发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享，才会有正确的发展观、现代化观。完整、准确、全面贯彻新发展理念，就要从根本宗旨把握新发展理念，在贯彻新发展理念的过程中必须始终坚持以人民为中心的发展思想。

第一，坚持人民主体地位，推动创新发展。创新是引领经济社会发展的第一动力，必须坚持创新在我国现代化建设全局中的核心地位。需要看到，人是最活跃的创新要素，推动创新发展就必须站稳人民立场、坚持人民主体地位、尊重人民首创精神。新时代新征程，我们必须坚持人才是第一资源的理念，聚天下英才而用之，充分释放广大科技工作者的才华和能量，依靠人民群众推动创新创业创造向纵深发展。坚持科技创新面向世界科技前沿、面向经济主战场、面向国家重大需求、面向人民生命健康，组织实施重大科技创新项目，加强创新链和产业链对接，推动创新与增进民生福祉、促进人的全面发展、推进全体人民共同富裕相衔接，走从人才强、科技强到产业强、经济强、国家强的创新发展新路径。

第二，着眼于满足人民美好生活需要，促进协调发展。协调既是发展手段，又是发展目标，同时还是评价发展的标准和尺度。实现城乡协调、区域协调发展，是我们党领导人民进行社会主义现代化建设追求的重要目标，也是坚持以人民为中心的发展思想的重要体现。新时代新征程，我们要更好解决人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾，必须把以人民为中心的发展思想贯穿于促进协调发展的全过程和各领域。要正确处理发展中的重大关系，促进现代化建设各个方面、各个环节相协调；要健全城乡融合发展体制机制，促进城乡公共资源均衡配置，不断缩小城乡发展差距；要统筹东中西、协调南北方，实施好区域重大战略和区域协调发展战略，努力实现基本公共服务均等化、基础设施通达程度比较均衡、人民基本生活保障水平大体相当；要在发展经济的同时投入更多精力和资源做好教育、住房、医疗卫生等领域的工作，解决好人民最关心最直接最现实的利益问题，推动经济建设与社会建设相协调。

第三，锚定人民更高层次需求，实现绿色发展。良好生态环境是最公平的公共产品，是最普惠的民生福祉。我们推动生态文明建设的根本目的是改善人民生活环境、提高人民生活质量。当前，人民日益增长的优美生态环境需要凸显，广大群众从“盼温饱”转向“盼环保”、从“求生存”转向“求生态”。对此，需要坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，大力推动生态文明建设，建立健全绿色低碳循环发展的经济体系，推动经济社会发展全面绿色转型。新时代新征程，我们要像保护眼睛一样保护自然和生态环境，从生态系统整体性出发，推进山水林田湖草沙一体化保护和修复，提升生态系统质量和稳定性；要健全党委领导、政府主导、企业主体、社会组织和公众共同参与的环境治理体系，提高生态环境治理体系和治理能力现代化水平；要增强全民节约意识、环保意识、生态意识，倡导简约适度、绿色低碳的生活方式，把建设美丽中国转化为全体人民自觉行动。

第四，着力增进全人类福祉，坚持开放发展。开放是国家繁荣发展的必由之路，也是满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要的客观要求。党的十八大以来，习近平总书记提出“共同构建人类命运共同体”，强调“中国开放的大门只会越开越大”“欢迎各国搭乘中国发展的‘顺风车’”，充分体现了我国实行更加积极主动的开放战略的坚定决心。新时代新征程，世纪疫情冲击下，百年变局加速演进，外部环境更趋复杂严峻和不确定，我们必须始终坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，着眼于增进全人类福祉，秉持人类命运共同体理念，推动经济全球化朝着更加开放、包容、普惠、平衡、共赢的方向发展；加快构建新发展格局，在更好实施扩大内需战略的同时，推动制度型开放，推动共建“一带一路”高质量发展，更加积极地融入全球市场，更加主动地深化对外合作，让全球化发展的红利惠及中国人民和世界各国人民。

第五，扎实推动全体人民共同富裕，推进共享发展。共享是中国特色社会主义的本质要求。党的十八大以来，我们党坚持全民共享、全面共享、共建共享、渐进共享，采取有力措施保障和改善民生，促进幼有所育、学有所教、劳有所得、病有所医、老有所养、住有所居、弱有所扶，依靠广大人民群众的勤劳智慧，打赢脱贫攻坚战，全面建成小康社会，为促进共同富裕创造了良好条件。新时代新征程，我们推动共同富裕要统筹考虑需要和可能，按照经济社会发展规律循序渐进，既要把“蛋糕”做大，又要把“蛋糕”分好，在发展中保障和改善民生。要在高质量发展中促进共同富裕，正确处理效率和公平的关系，构建初次分配、再分配、三次分配协调配套的基础性制度安排，加大税收、社保、转移支付等调节力度并提高精准性，扩大中等收入群体比重，增加低收入群体收入，合理调节高收入，自觉主动解决地区差距、城乡差距、收入差距等问题，形成中间大、两头小的橄榄型分配结构，推动社会全面进步和人的全面发展，促进社会公平正义，使全体人民朝着共同富裕目标扎实迈进。
