"Material is rich, but development is extremely uneven, great disparity between the rich and the poor, social inequality, polarization, can win the hearts of the people?" in March 18, 2014, the Henan provincial Lankao County Committee Standing Committee enlarged meeting, general secretary Xi Jinping's great teaching. From 2012 when the Standing Committee of the eighteen Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee met with Chinese and foreign journalists, they stressed the need to "unswervingly take the road of common prosperity". At the tenth meeting of the Central Committee on finance and economics this year, the principles and measures to promote common prosperity were comprehensively discussed. Xi Jinping always put the four words of "common prosperity" in the important position of governing the country. one Why is common prosperity so important? The reality is at hand: more than 40 years of reform and opening up, great achievements have been made in economic and social development, and earth shaking changes have taken place in people's lives. However, China's vast territory, unbalanced and insufficient development, widening gap between the rich and the poor, uneven income distribution, class solidification, young people lying flat and rolling inside are all social worries. The lesson is profound: at present, the problem of global income inequality is prominent. In some countries, the polarization between the rich and the poor and the collapse of the middle class lead to social tear, political polarization and the proliferation of populism. Xi Jinping pointed out clearly that "economic development and material life improvement are not all", "development and common prosperity". To achieve social harmony and stability and consolidate the party's long-term ruling foundation, we must resolutely prevent polarization and promote common prosperity. There are many opinions about common prosperity in society: some people think that China has made a big "cake", and common prosperity is to divide the "cake"; Some people believe that China is still a developing country and can wait until it is truly "developed" before considering the issue of common prosperity; What's more, common prosperity is simply understood as robbing the rich to help the poor, equalizing the rich and the poor, or the government takes all ownership and engages in "welfarism" In this regard, Xi Jinping made it clear that common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and an important feature of China's modernization. Common prosperity depends on diligence and wisdom; Unblock the upward flow channel and create opportunities for more people to get rich; Some people should be allowed to get rich first. At the same time, we should emphasize that getting rich first leads to getting rich later and helping get rich later; The government should not cover everything. The focus is to strengthen the construction of basic, inclusive and comprehensive livelihood security; We should not raise too high goals, make too much security, and resolutely prevent falling into the trap of "welfare" raising lazy people. Common prosperity is a long-term goal, which requires a process and cannot be achieved overnight. We should fully estimate its long-term, arduous and complex nature. Xi Jinping said, "we can't wait until we can do this well." two If you are not in a hurry, you should seek truth from facts; Wait, you have to make a difference. Xi Jinping said: "our country is in and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. We can not do things beyond the stage. However, it does not mean that we will do nothing in terms of achieving common prosperity gradually, but we must do what we can do according to the existing conditions, and try our best to win the battle for the common prosperity of all the people." Since the eighteen Congress, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has grasped the new changes in the development stage, put the gradual realization of the common prosperity of all the people in a more important position, promoted the coordinated development of the region, adopted effective measures to protect and improve people's livelihood, win the battle against poverty and build a well-off society in all aspects. These new and hard moves have created good conditions for promoting common prosperity. Especially on the occasion of the centennial of the founding of the party, China solemnly declared an all-round victory in the battle against poverty. Under the current standard, 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty. From the snowy plateau, Gobi desert to remote mountainous areas, the fate of countless people has changed. Beautiful villages with beautiful mountains and rivers, livable and prosperous have gradually appeared in China. Our party has taken a solid step forward in uniting and leading the people to create a better life and achieve common prosperity. In addition, new progress has been made in educating the young, learning and education, income from work, medical treatment for the sick, support for the elderly, housing and support for the weak, and the people have a greater sense of gain. By 2020, the consolidation rate of nine-year compulsory education in China will reach more than 95%; The annual disposable income of residents has steadily stood at 30000 yuan, and the ratio of per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents has steadily decreased for 13 consecutive years since 2008; By the end of June this year, the number of people covered by China's basic old-age insurance had reached 1.014 billion, and the coverage of basic medical insurance had exceeded 1.3 billion; At present, more than 80 million sets of indemnificatory housing and shed reform resettlement houses have been built, and the largest housing security system in the world has been built This is "accumulating small victories into big victories". Xi Jinping said, we must be patient and do well in one field, one thing and one thing. three At present, China is in the historical stage of solidly promoting common prosperity and needs to promote common prosperity in high-quality development. In recent years, the state has cracked down on insider trading and financial fraud in the securities market, strictly investigated tax evasion and sky high price film remuneration in the entertainment industry, increased the management of income distribution in monopoly industries and state-owned enterprises, cleaned up the distribution chaos of increasing executive income in the name of reform, banned illegal income and reasonably adjusted high income. At the same time, assistance to low-income groups has been increasing. It is easy to observe in Chinese society that the educational burden of poor families has been reduced, the gap between urban and rural pension and medical security treatment has been narrowed, and the minimum living security level in urban and rural areas has been continuously improved. Xi Jinping likened the rational distribution structure to olive: large in the middle and small in both ends. The middle-income group is the largest, and the high-income and low-income groups are the small at both ends. The middle-income group is the stabilizer of society. At present, it has more than 400 million people in China and is further expanding. Xi Jinping mentioned that the problem of increasing income of college graduates, skilled workers, small and medium enterprises owners and individual businesses, migrant workers and civil servants in the cities is also very specific, such as helping college graduates adapt to the needs of social development as soon as possible. Improve the wages of skilled workers; Help small and medium-sized business owners and individual industrial and commercial households operate stably and continuously increase their income; Solve the education problems of migrant workers' accompanying children in cities; Appropriately improve the wages of civil servants, especially grass-roots front-line civil servants and grass-roots employees of state-owned enterprises and institutions. In June this year, the central government announced the construction of a "demonstration area of common prosperity" in Zhejiang. Through this pilot first way, it explored and solved a series of reform problems, and provided a provincial example for the whole country to promote common prosperity. As far as the whole country is concerned, the timetable for common prosperity has been clear: by the end of the 14th five year plan, all people will make solid steps towards common prosperity, and the gap between residents' income and actual consumption level will gradually narrow. By 2035, the common prosperity of all people will make more obvious substantive progress, and the equalization of basic public services will be realized. By the middle of this century, the common prosperity of all people will be basically realized, and the gap between residents' income and actual consumption level will be narrowed to a reasonable range. Xi Jinping said: "we can not build a well-off society in an all-round way, nor can we fall behind on the road to common prosperity." China is making every effort to realize the common prosperity of the 1 billion 400 million people. (outlook new era)
