9. To thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, we must continue to deepen reform and opening up

To fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development and successfully achieve the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the most fundamental thing is to rely on deepening reforms, relying on institutional innovation, and winning new developments in various undertakings with new breakthroughs in reform and new situations of opening up.

Imperfect systems and mechanisms and inadequate reforms are important causes of many contradictions and problems in economic and social development. Without accelerating institutional reform and institutional innovation, there will be no solid institutional foundation for the sustained, rapid, coordinated and healthy development of the national economy. These problems are not only the fundamental reasons for repeated blind investment and large fluctuations in economic operation, but also major obstacles to achieving comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development. It is urgent to resolve these contradictions and problems. Of course, we must also realize that solving these problems is long-term and complex. It requires a process and cannot be solved overnight. It requires unremitting efforts.

Forming a more dynamic and open institutional environment is an inevitable requirement for achieving scientific development. It is necessary to adhere to the reform direction of the socialist market economy, improve the modern enterprise system and modern property rights system, establish a price formation mechanism that reflects market supply and demand conditions and resource scarcity, and give greater play to the fundamental role of the market in resource allocation〖BFfunction, improve the efficiency of resource allocation, effectively transform government functions, and improve the national macro-control system. Coordinate domestic development and opening up to the outside world, continuously improve the level of opening up to the outside world, and enhance the ability to promote development under the conditions of expanded opening up.

Our country is in a critical stage of reform and must accelerate reform with greater determination to achieve breakthrough progress in major institutional reforms related to the overall economic and social development. Focusing on transforming government functions and deepening reforms in enterprises, fiscal and taxation, and finance, we will accelerate the improvement of the socialist market economic system and form a mechanism that is conducive to transforming economic growth patterns and promoting comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. We will further expand opening up to the outside world and promote reform and development through opening up.

We insist on deepening reforms and improving systems and mechanisms as important guarantees for macro-control and scientific development. Economic fluctuations caused by investment expansion and low-level redundant construction have repeatedly appeared, which are largely caused by imperfect systems and mechanisms. To maintain the steady operation of the economy and improve the quality and efficiency of economic growth, we must address both the symptoms and root causes, intensify reform efforts, seize the opportunity to introduce reform measures that are conducive to stable growth and structural improvement, strive to break through institutional obstacles, and gradually form an institutional guarantee for scientific development.

Reform is the driving force for development and an important guarantee for achieving scientific development. The main task of the current reform is to solve the deep-seated contradictions and problems in economic and social development and eliminate the institutional obstacles that affect scientific development. Deepening reforms will inevitably involve more complex interest relationships and face more arduous tasks. We must fully understand the necessity, urgency and complexity of deepening reform, and unswervingly advance reform with greater determination and strength.
Hu Jintao's "Speech at the Central Economic Work Conference" (2005Year11month29日）

In the process of advancing reform, we must correctly grasp the relationship between reform, development and stability, continuously improve the scientific nature of reform decision-making and the coordination of reform measures, firmly promote various relatively mature reform measures, properly handle the adjustment of interest relationships caused by the reform, reasonably compensate for the loss of interests in relevant parties, and ensure the smooth advancement of reform.

Adhere to the mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy and improve the level of opening up to the outside world. With the end of the transition period for joining the WTO, my country's opening up is facing a new situation. On the basis of consolidating and expanding the existing results of opening up, we must accelerate the adjustment and improvement of the foreign economic development model, improve the quality and level of foreign w88 and utilization of foreign investment, effectively respond to new situations and new problems faced by the expanded opening up of the service industry, enhance the ability to participate in economic globalization and maintain national economic security, and promote foreign economic work to a new level.

Focus on optimizing the structure of imported and exported commodities and accelerate the transformation of foreign w88 growth patterns. The scale of my country's foreign w88 is already very large, but there is a large gap in export efficiency and quality. This is a reflection of extensive economic growth in foreign w88. It is necessary to intensify the adjustment of industrial structure, increase the proportion of exports of independent intellectual property rights and high value-added products, focus on implementing brand strategies, and effectively improve w88 efficiency. Consolidate and develop existing markets and strive to open up emerging markets. Strictly control the export of high energy consumption, high pollution and resource-based products, rationally adjust the scope of preferential policies for processing w88, and promote the transformation and upgrading of processing w88. Improve financial policies to support imports, increase imports of advanced technologies, key equipment and resource commodities that are urgently needed domestically, increase strategic reserves of important resources, and actively improve w88 imbalances.

Focus on introducing advanced technology, advanced management and overseas intelligence to improve the quality of utilizing foreign capital. Pay more attention to adjusting and optimizing the foreign investment structure, guide multinational companies to transfer more high-end manufacturing and research and development links to my country, develop and undertake service outsourcing business, and strictly control the transfer of high-energy-consuming and high-pollution industries to my country. Improve relevant laws and regulations, strengthen guidance and regulation of foreign mergers and acquisitions, encourage fair competition, prevent monopolistic mergers and acquisitions and malicious mergers and acquisitions, and improve control over important industries and key areas. Properly respond to the issue of expanding the opening up of the service industry after the end of the transition period, strengthen the construction of basic institutions in the financial market, enhance the international competitiveness and risk resistance of banking, securities, insurance and other industries, and maintain national economic security.

Focus on expanding energy resources and technology cooperation and continue to implement“Go out”Strategy. We must proceed from the strategic needs of my country's economic development, make overall plans, propose key areas for foreign investment cooperation by region and country, strengthen research on cooperation methods and market prospects, and formulate and implement industry guidance policies for overseas investment. Increase the intensity and depth of work in areas surrounding my country and areas with long-term strategic investment value such as Africa and Latin America. In foreign economic and w88 cooperation, especially energy and resource development cooperation, we must fully consider our needs and interests, as well as the reasonable interests of the partners, and pay special attention to bringing tangible benefits to the local people through mutually beneficial cooperation.

Deeply implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development requires us to continue to deepen reform and opening up. We must implement the spirit of reform and innovation into all aspects of state governance, unswervingly adhere to the direction of reform, improve the scientific nature of reform decision-making, and enhance the coordination of reform measures.

10. To thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, we must effectively strengthen and improve party building

We should regard establishing a correct view of political performance as an important part of the new great project of party building in the new era, and effectively guarantee it by strengthening ideological and political construction and deepening the reform of the cadre system. It is necessary to establish and improve a scientific performance evaluation system and reward and punishment system for cadres, and form a correct employment orientation and system. To assess the performance of cadres at all levels, we must look at both the results of economic construction and social progress; we must look at both urban changes and rural development; we must look at both the strengthening of the hard environment and the improvement of the soft environment; we must look at both current development and the sustainability of development; we must look at both the total amount of economic growth and the benefits received by the people; we must look at both the results of economic and social development and the effectiveness of party building. It is necessary to ensure through the system that cadres who work hard for the people and seek truth and pragmatism will be praised, and cadres who enjoy great achievements and commit fraud will be punished, so that a strong atmosphere of diligent service for the people and hard work can be formed among the whole party, especially leading cadres.

All comrades in the party must be clearly aware that in the face of the complex and changing international environment, the arduous and arduous domestic construction tasks, and the historical mission shouldered by our party, we must implement it well“Three Represents”The important thoughts and the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we must do a good job in development, the party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, implement a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development concept, and achieve sustained, rapid, coordinated and healthy economic development and overall social progress. We must vigorously promote the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic, and promote the spirit of seeking truth and pragmatism; we must persist in building the party for the public, governing for the people, and maintaining the party To maintain a flesh-and-blood relationship with the people and to effectively realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people, we must vigorously promote the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic, and promote the style of truth-seeking and pragmatism; to comprehensively promote the new great project of party building, strengthen the team building of party members and cadres, and improve the party's ability to govern, we must also vigorously promote the spirit of seeking truth and pragmatism, and promote the style of seeking truth and pragmatism. All comrades in the Party must keep in mind that the better the situation, the more active the masses are in accelerating development, the more we must persist in seeking truth and pragmatism, the more we must keep a clear mind, the more we must adhere to a good work style, do our work well step by step, and push forward reform, opening up, and modernization in a down-to-earth manner.

Establishing and implementing the scientific outlook on development is intrinsically unified with the Daxing style of seeking truth and pragmatism. Party committees, governments and leading cadres at all levels must regard the establishment and implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development as the focus of truth-seeking and pragmatism, adhere to the pursuit of truth and pragmatism in establishing and implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development, and use a truth-seeking and pragmatic style to establish and implement the Scientific Outlook on Development.

It is necessary to closely integrate the establishment and implementation of the scientific outlook on development with the correct outlook on political performance. The scientific outlook on development guides the establishment of a correct outlook on political achievements, and the correct outlook on political achievements ensures the implementation of the scientific outlook on development. Leading cadres at all levels must practice faithfully“Three Represents”Important thoughts: adhere to serving the people, being pragmatic and honest, insisting on acting in accordance with objective laws, doing a good job conscientiously, and creating real achievements. When assessing cadres' performance, we must focus on examining the actual results of implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development, and insist on using whether they serve the people and benefit the people, whether they follow objective and scientific laws, whether they promote coordinated economic and social development, and whether they are responsible for future generations and long-term development as the fundamental criteria for assessing cadres' performance. It is necessary to form a sound system to form an orientation that encourages the majority of cadres to be willing to do things, know how to do things, and do good things, and promote the implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development.

It is necessary to closely integrate the establishment and implementation of the scientific outlook on development with the promotion of excellent work style. The key to establishing and implementing the scientific outlook on development lies in action. Party committees and governments at all levels should regard the establishment and implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development as an important part of the construction of cadres' work style, effectively transform the cadres' work style, and resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy.
