Foreword

The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhered to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively and profoundly clarified the historical status, era background, scientific connotation, spiritual essence, and fundamental requirements of the Scientific Outlook on Development. It emphasized that in the new stage of development to continue to comprehensively build a moderately prosperous society and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must adhere to Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"As the guidance of important thoughts, we must thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development.

The Scientific Outlook on Development is the inheritance and development of the important thoughts on development of the party’s three generations of central leadership collectives. It is a concentrated expression of the Marxist worldview and methodology on development. It is the same as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"The scientific theory of important ideas that are both consistent and keep pace with the times is an important guideline for my country's economic and social development and a major strategic thought that must be upheld and implemented to develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.

In the scientific outlook on development, the first priority is development, the core is people-oriented, the basic requirement is comprehensive coordination and sustainability, and the fundamental method is overall planning and consideration. These four sentences are a concentrated summary of the scientific connotation, spiritual essence and fundamental requirements of the Scientific Outlook on Development.

——We must insist on making development the top priority of the party in governing and rejuvenating the country. Development is of decisive significance for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization. We must firmly focus on economic construction, persist in concentrating on construction and development, and constantly liberate and develop social productive forces. We will better implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country through talent, and the strategy of sustainable development, and strive to grasp the laws of development, innovate development concepts, transform development methods, solve development problems, improve the quality and efficiency of development, achieve good and rapid development, and lay a solid foundation for the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Strive to achieve people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable scientific development, achieve harmonious development in which all aspects of undertakings are organically unified and social members are united and harmonious, and achieve peaceful development that not only develops itself through maintaining world peace, but also maintains world peace through its own development.

——We must insist on putting people first. Serving the people wholeheartedly is the party's fundamental purpose, and all the party's struggles and work are to benefit the people. We must always regard the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and goal of all work of the party and the country, respect the people's dominant position, give full play to the people's initiative, protect the people's rights and interests, follow the path of common prosperity, promote the all-round development of people, and ensure that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people.

——We must adhere to comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. In accordance with the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must comprehensively promote economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, and social construction, promote the coordination of all links and aspects of modernization, and promote the coordination of production relations and productivity, and the coordination of the superstructure and the economic base. Adhere to the civilized development path of production development, prosperous life, and good ecology, build a resource-saving, environment-friendly society, achieve the unity of speed and structure, quality and efficiency, and coordinate economic development with population, resources, and the environment, so that people can work and live in a good ecological environment, and achieve sustainable economic and social development.

——We must insist on overall planning and consideration. It is necessary to correctly understand and properly handle the major relationships in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, coordinate urban and rural development, regional development, economic and social development, harmonious development of man and nature, domestic development and opening up to the outside world, coordinate the relationship between the central and local governments, coordinate individual interests and collective interests, local interests and overall interests, current interests and long-term interests, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties. We should coordinate both the domestic and international situations, establish a global perspective, strengthen strategic thinking, be good at seizing development opportunities and responding to risks and challenges from changes in the international situation, and create a good international environment. It is necessary to not only take an overall view and make overall plans, but also grasp the main tasks that affect the overall situation and outstanding issues related to the interests of the people, and strive to promote and make breakthroughs in key areas.

The Scientific Outlook on Development profoundly embodies the new requirements for the work of the party and the state in the new stage of development and the conditions of the new era. To fully implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, continue to emancipate the mind, adhere to reform and opening up, promote scientific development, promote social harmony, and strive for new victories in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, we must thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China:"All comrades in the Party must comprehensively grasp the scientific connotation and spiritual essence of the Scientific Outlook on Development, enhance the consciousness and firmness in implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development, strive to transform ideas that are inappropriate and incompatible with the Scientific Outlook on Development, strive to solve outstanding problems that affect and restrict scientific development, guide the development enthusiasm of the whole society to scientific development, and implement the Scientific Outlook on Development into all aspects of economic and social development."This is a solemn call to the entire party and a major requirement for party members and cadres, especially leading cadres at all levels.

Since the Scientific Outlook on Development was proposed, it has been widely recognized by the whole party and society, and has played an important guiding role in practice. In order to promote the in-depth implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development and coordinate with the Party-wide activities to carry out in-depth study and practice of the Scientific Outlook on Development, in accordance with the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China organized and compiled the "Study Book on the Scientific Outlook on Development" to provide important auxiliary materials for party members, cadres and the masses to learn the Scientific Outlook on Development.

1. The Scientific Outlook on Development is the latest achievement of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics

The Scientific Outlook on Development is our party’s insistence on Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"It is guided by the important thoughts of the Communist Party of China, based on the basic national conditions in the primary stage of socialism, deeply analyzes the stage characteristics of my country's development, summarizes my country's development practices, accurately grasps the world's development trends, learns from foreign development experience, and adapts to new development requirements. Standing at the height of history and the times, and focusing on the theme of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Scientific Outlook on Development profoundly answers a series of major issues in my country's socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and party building. It is an important innovative achievement of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

1. The Scientific Outlook on Development is the same as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"A scientific theory whose important ideas are both inherited from the same origin and keep pace with the times

The Scientific Outlook on Development adheres to the basic principles of Marxism, closely integrates the reality of my country's reform and opening up and socialist modernization, closely integrates the conditions of the new era, and unswervingly adheres to Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"The important thought also gives Marxism new vitality and is Marxism that keeps pace with the times.

In the long-term practice of leading China's revolution, construction, and reform, our party has integrated the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and the characteristics of the times, continuously promoted the sinicization of Marxism, and achieved two historic leaps. The first leap occurred during the New Democratic Revolution. After repeated explorations and on the basis of summarizing successful and failed experiences, the Chinese Communists found a revolutionary path with Chinese characteristics in which the countryside surrounded the cities and finally won nationwide victory. After the victory of the revolution, they actively explored a socialist construction path suitable for our country's national conditions and formed correct theoretical principles and experience summaries about the Chinese revolution and construction that have been proven by practice. This is Mao Zedong Thought. The second leap occurred after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. On the basis of summarizing our country's experience and studying the international situation, the Chinese Communists opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and formed correct theoretical principles and experience summaries on building, consolidating and developing socialism in China that have been proven by practice. This is the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,Including Deng Xiaoping Theory,"Three Represents"A scientific theoretical system including important thoughts and major strategic thoughts such as the Scientific Outlook on Development. This theoretical system upholds and develops Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, and embodies the wisdom and efforts of several generations of Chinese Communists in leading the people in unremitting exploration and practice. It is the latest achievement of the sinicization of Marxism, the most precious political and spiritual wealth of the party, and the common ideological basis for the united struggle of people of all ethnic groups in the country. In contemporary China, adhering to the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics means truly adhering to Marxism.

The Scientific Outlook on Development is an important part of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. After the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary focused on the overall development of the cause of the Party and the people and adhered to Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"As the guidance of important thoughts, we should adapt to the development and changes of domestic and international situations, carry forward the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic, pioneering and enterprising, constantly sum up practical experience, constantly expand theoretical horizons, constantly make theoretical generalizations, and propose to adhere to people-oriented and achieve scientific development; propose to adhere to overall planning, correctly understand and properly handle the major relationships in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics; propose to build a socialist harmonious society, and comprehensively promote socialism in accordance with the four-in-one overall layout Socialist modernization; proposed building a socialist core value system and firmly establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace; proposed building a new socialist countryside, building an innovative country, building a resource-saving, environment-friendly society, and building an ecological civilization; proposing to unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, adhering to a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, and promoting the construction of a harmonious world; proposing major strategic thoughts and strategic tasks such as comprehensively strengthening the party's governance capacity and advanced nature, forming a scientific outlook on development. The Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China scientifically summarized and profoundly elaborated on the Scientific Outlook on Development, enriching and developing the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The Scientific Outlook on Development is the same as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"Scientific theory whose important ideas are both consistent and keep pace with the times is the product of the combination of Marxism and contemporary China's reality and the characteristics of the times. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. Deeply implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development is the best persistence and practice of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, as well as Deng Xiaoping Theory and"Three Represents"The best persistence and practice of important ideas.

2． The Scientific Outlook on Development is based on my country's basic national conditions, in-depth analysis of the stage characteristics of my country's development, careful summary of my country's development practice, and adapting to new development requirements

Our country is still and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. This is a scientific judgment made by our party on the basic national conditions of contemporary China. This judgment is the fundamental basis and argumentative basis for the formation of our party's theory, line, principles and policies, as well as the fundamental basis and argumentative basis for the formation of the Scientific Outlook on Development. Through unremitting efforts since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, our country has achieved world-renowned development achievements. From productivity to production relations, from economic base to superstructure, far-reaching and major changes have taken place. However, the basic national conditions of our country are still in the primary stage of socialism and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. The people are increasingly The principal contradiction in society, the contradiction between growing material and cultural needs and backward social production, has not changed. The situation of large population, weak foundation, unbalanced urban and rural regional development, and underdeveloped productivity is still the biggest reality in our country. The contradictions and problems we encounter in development are rare in the world, both in scale and complexity. We still have a long way to go to build a higher-level moderately prosperous society that benefits more than one billion people. We still have a long way to go to realize socialist modernization and achieve common prosperity for all people. This requires us to always keep in mind the basic national conditions in the primary stage of socialism, recognize the long-term and arduous nature of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and basically realize modernization, and improve the consciousness of never being divorced from reality when thinking about problems, making decisions, and doing things. The Scientific Outlook on Development is put forward based on a profound understanding of contemporary China's basic national conditions and development reality.

The staged characteristics of my country’s economic and social development are the realistic basis for the formation of the Scientific Outlook on Development. In the new historical stage, our country has entered a critical period of development, a tough period of reform, and a period of prominent contradictions. Economic and social development has shown a series of new stage characteristics, mainly: economic strength has been significantly enhanced, while productivity levels are generally not high, independent innovation capabilities are not strong, long-term structural contradictions and extensive growth methods have not been fundamentally changed; the socialist market economic system has been initially established, and at the same time, the system that affects development Institutional obstacles still exist, and reform efforts are faced with deep-seated contradictions and problems; people's lives have generally reached a moderately prosperous level, and the trend of widening income distribution gaps has not been fundamentally reversed. There are still a considerable number of urban and rural poor and low-income people, making it more difficult to coordinate the interests of all parties; coordinated development has achieved remarkable results, while the situation of weak agricultural foundation and lagging rural development has not changed, narrowing the urban-rural and regional development gap and promoting economic development. The task of coordinated social development is arduous; socialist democratic politics continues to develop and the basic strategy of governing the country according to law is solidly implemented. At the same time, the construction of democratic and legal systems has not fully adapted to the requirements of expanding people's democracy and economic and social development. The reform of the political system needs to continue to deepen; socialist culture is more prosperous, and at the same time the people's spiritual and cultural needs are becoming increasingly strong. The independence, selectivity, variability, and difference of people's ideological activities have significantly increased, which is of great significance to the development of society. The advanced socialist culture has put forward higher requirements; social vitality has been significantly enhanced, and at the same time, social structure, social organization forms, and social interest patterns have undergone profound changes, and social construction and management are facing many new topics; opening up to the outside world is expanding day by day, and at the same time, international competition is becoming increasingly fierce. The pressure for developed countries to have advantages in economics and science and technology has long existed, foreseeable and unforeseen risks have increased, and the requirements for coordinating domestic development and opening up to the outside world are higher. These stage characteristics are the specific manifestations of the basic national conditions in the primary stage of socialism in the new century and new stage, and reflect the new situations, new contradictions and new problems faced by my country's economic and social development. If we do not deeply grasp these phased characteristics and promptly take measures to resolve outstanding contradictions and problems in progress, it will have a major impact on my country's economic and social development, especially long-term development. The scientific outlook on development is put forward based on accurately grasping the stage characteristics of my country's development and adapting to the new requirements of my country's development.

The practical experience of my country’s socialist construction and reform and opening up is the practical basis for the formation of the Scientific Outlook on Development. Being good at summing up experience is a fine tradition of our party and an important way to integrate the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality. In the course of decades of socialist construction in our country, our party has not only made brilliant achievements in building socialism through hard work, but also accumulated rich experience in developing socialism through hard exploration. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, our party profoundly summarized the positive and negative experiences of socialist construction and, on the basis of correctly judging the national conditions, formed a policy that centered on economic construction, adhered to the four basic principles, and adhered to reform and opening up"One center, two basic points"’s basic line opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th National Congresses of the Communist Party of China combined the summary of historical experience with the summary of fresh experience, formulated a series of principles and policies to promote reform and development, and continuously enriched and developed the party's basic theory, basic line, basic program and basic experience. The Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of my country made a long-term review and summary of the historical process and valuable experience of China's reform and opening up, emphasizing that to promote reform, opening up and socialist modernization, we must combine adhering to the basic principles of Marxism with promoting the Sinicization of Marxism, combine adhering to the four basic principles with adhering to reform and opening up, combine respect for the people's initiative with strengthening and improving the party's leadership, and combine adhering to the basic socialist system with the development of the market Integrate the economy, combine the promotion of economic basic reform with the promotion of superstructure reform, combine the development of social productivity with the improvement of the civilized quality of the entire nation, combine the improvement of efficiency with the promotion of social fairness, combine the persistence of independence with participation in economic globalization, combine the promotion of reform and development with the maintenance of social stability, combine the promotion of the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics with the new great project of party building. This"Ten combinations", vividly clarified how our party adheres to and develops Marxism, how to uphold and develop socialism, how to comprehensively promote socialist modernization, how to coordinate the domestic and international overall situations, and how to strengthen and improve the party's leadership in the practice of reform and opening up. It profoundly reveals the key and foundation for the success of our country's reform and opening up, reveals our country's socialist economic construction, political construction, and The true meaning of cultural construction, social construction and party building emphasizes the role of creating a good international environment, maintaining domestic social and political stability, and adhering to the core position of the party's leadership in ensuring reform and development. It is a concentrated summary of our party's experience in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization. It is a valuable experience for a large developing country with a population of more than one billion to get rid of poverty, accelerate the realization of modernization, and consolidate and develop socialism. The Scientific Outlook on Development is put forward based on a profound summary and persistent application of my country's long-term development practice experience.

3． The scientific outlook on development is put forward by deeply analyzing the international situation, complying with world development trends, and drawing on foreign development experience

The world today is in the midst of major changes and adjustments. Our country's development is facing both unprecedented opportunities and unprecedented challenges. On the one hand, peace and development are still the themes of the times. World multipolarity is irreversible. Economic globalization is developing in depth. The scientific and technological revolution is accelerating. Global and regional cooperation is in the ascendant. International cultural exchanges are expanding at an unprecedented pace. International security cooperation is strengthening day by day. Countries are increasingly interdependent. The role and influence of developing countries on the world stage are rising rapidly. The international balance of power is moving in a direction conducive to maintaining world peace. The overall situation of world peace and development is generally stable. But on the other hand, unstable and uncertain factors are increasing in the international environment, and the external conditions for my country's development are complex and changeable. Hegemonism and power politics still exist, the struggle between unipolarity and multipolarity remains acute, various political forces have profoundly adjusted their combinations, international strategic competition has become more intense, regional conflicts and hot-spot issues arise one after another, international terrorist activities are rampant, and traditional and non-traditional security threats are intertwined. The world's economic development is very unbalanced, with the gap between the North and the South widening, economic structural contradictions intensifying, w88 and investment protectionism rising, pressure on energy resources increasing, potential risks in economic development increasing, and the harm of climate change, major natural disasters, and serious infectious diseases increasing. It is the common aspiration of people of all countries in the world to jointly promote the democratization of international relations, promote economic globalization in a balanced, universally beneficial, and win-win direction, promote the prosperity and progress of human civilization, maintain world peace and stability, and protect the earth, our home, on which mankind depends for survival. It is our inevitable choice to deeply grasp the new changes in the international situation and world development trends, comply with the new requirements of the development of the times, and adhere to the path of scientific development, harmonious development, and peaceful development. The scientific outlook on development is put forward based on scientific judgment of the international situation and world development trends.

Contemporary China's relationship with the world has undergone historic changes. The role and influence of China's development on world development have continued to increase, and the role and impact of changes in the international environment on my country's development have also continued to increase. After these years of development, our country's economic strength and comprehensive national strength have been greatly enhanced, and our international status and international influence have continued to improve. The international community is generally optimistic about our country's development prospects, and attaches more strategic importance to our country. Our willingness to cooperate with our country has continued to increase, and factors favorable to our development in the international environment have continued to increase. This will help our country strengthen cooperation with other countries around the world and accelerate its own development. But we must also be soberly aware that our country is facing tremendous pressure from the economic and technological dominance of developed countries. Western hostile forces have not given up for a moment their strategic plans to implement Westernization and differentiation of our country. w88 frictions continue, resource competition intensifies, environmental problems are prominent, cultural exchanges and confrontations are frequent, and the task of maintaining national security is even more arduous. What we are facing will still be an environment that is generally conducive to my country's development, but unfavorable factors may also increase. We must think about China's development in the context of the world's overall situation, constantly improve our ability to coordinate both domestic and international situations, constantly improve our ability to seize opportunities, respond to risks and challenges, and always take the initiative in development. The Scientific Outlook on Development is put forward based on a profound understanding of the new changes in the relationship between China and the world.

The Scientific Outlook on Development reflects the development philosophy of the contemporary world, conforms to the development trend of the times, and is a profound summary and high-level summary of the development experience of human society. After the end of World War II, accelerating economic growth became the consensus of all countries in the world, and mankind created unprecedented economic growth achievements. However, due to the pure pursuit of economic growth, no attention to social development and social equity, and neglect of energy resource conservation and ecological environmental protection, some countries have encountered various problems in their development. Some countries have taken a path of development first and governance later, and have paid a high price to solve the problem of serious deterioration of the ecological environment; some countries have low development quality and insufficient stamina due to imbalanced economic structures and lagging social development; some countries have not dealt with the problem after entering the mid-stage of industrialization and becoming a middle-income country. The relationship between increasing wealth and income distribution, economic growth and social equity has led to the gap between the rich and the poor, increased unemployment, and intensified social conflicts; some countries blindly copy Western models, implement multi-party systems, privatization, and rely economically on Western multinational companies. Political parties continue to fight, the political situation is long-term, and the economic and social development has seriously regressed. The development practices of various countries around the world have shown that development is not just economic growth, but should be a comprehensive and coordinated development of economy, politics, culture and society. It should be a development in which social equity is better realized as social wealth increases. It should be a development that coordinates both domestic and international situations. It should be a sustainable development in which humans and nature are in harmony. As a developing socialist country, our country must complete the dual tasks of industrialization and informatization, and shoulder the dual missions of increasing social wealth, enabling people to share the fruits of development, and achieving social equity. It faces dual pressures to promote economic development, conserve resources, and protect the environment. This determines that we cannot repeat the old path traveled by other countries, but must embark on a development path with Chinese characteristics. The scientific outlook on development is put forward on the basis of drawing on the development experience of various countries around the world and absorbing the beneficial results of foreign development theories.

4． The Scientific Outlook on Development is a major strategic thought that must be upheld and implemented in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics

The Scientific Outlook on Development adheres to and develops the Party's basic theory, basic line, basic program, and basic experience, and further deepens the understanding of the laws governing the Communist Party, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of the development of human society. It is an important guiding principle for my country's economic and social development and a major strategic thought that must be upheld and implemented in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The Scientific Outlook on Development adheres to the basic principles of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, inherits and develops Marxism that the progress of human society is ultimately determined by the development of productive forces, and the Marxist ruling party must be committed to developing social productive forces. The people are the subject of historical development and the fundamental force to promote social progress. The future society is a society in which everyone develops freely and comprehensively. Socialism and socialism must constantly promote the all-round development of human beings. Social development must coordinate and adapt the production relations and productivity, the superstructure and the economic base. Human beings are dependent on nature, and humans and nature should live in harmony. Important viewpoints such as all departments, aspects, and links of social production are interconnected and inseparable. They are a concentrated expression of the Marxist worldview and methodology on development. The Scientific Outlook on Development focuses on building a prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious modern socialist country, and puts forward a series of closely related and interoperable strategic thoughts and major viewpoints. It gives contemporary Chinese Marxism distinctive practical characteristics, national characteristics and characteristics of the times, and opens up a new realm of the Sinicization of Marxism.

Scientific Outlook on Development continues to answer"What is socialism and how to build socialism"，"What kind of party to build and how to build the party"’s question, creatively answered"What kind of development is achieved and how to develop"'s issues have brought our party's understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics to a new height. The Scientific Outlook on Development covers a wide range of natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, involving all aspects of reform, development, stability, domestic affairs, foreign affairs, national defense, and party and state governance. It integrates the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the new great project of party building. It constitutes a systematic scientific theory with rich ideological connotation and strict internal logic. It is also an open scientific theory that is continuously developed in practice.
