Socialist Market Economy
Taking economic development as the central task is vital to national renewal, and development still holds the key to addressing all the problems we have in China. In response to changes in both domestic and international economic developments, we should speed up the creation of a new growth model and ensure that development is based on improved quality.
Deepen economic structural reform across the board. We should follow more closely the rules of the market and better play the role of the government. We should unwaveringly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy; allow public ownership to take diverse forms; invest more state capital in major industries and key fields that comprise the lifeline of the economy and are vital to national security. We must unwaveringly encourage, support and guide the development of the non-public sector, and ensure that economic entities under all forms of ownership have equal access to factors of production in accordance with the law, compete on a level playing field and are protected by the law.
Implement the strategy of innovation-driven development. Scientific and technological innovation provides strategic support for raising the productive forces and boosting overall national strength, and we must give it top priority in overall national development. We should deepen reform of the system for managing science and technology, speed up the development of the national innovation system and establish a system of technological innovation in which enterprises play the leading role, the market points the way and enterprises, universities and research institutes work together.
Military Modernization
We must, following the three-step development strategy for modernizing national defense and the armed forces, intensify efforts to accomplish the dual historic tasks of military mechanization and full IT application, striving to basically complete military mechanization and make major progress in full military IT application by 2020.
We should attach great importance to maritime, space and cyber security. We should conduct active planning for the use of military forces in peacetime, expand and intensify military preparedness, and enhance the capability to accomplish a wide range of military tasks, the most important of which is to win the local war in an information age.
We should unswervingly pursue full IT application as the goal in achieving military modernization and step up this effort.
China pursues a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. Our endeavors to strengthen national defense aim to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and ensure its peaceful development. China's armed forces have always been a staunch force upholding world peace and will continue to increase cooperation and mutual trust with the armed forces of other countries, participate in regional and international security affairs, and thus play an active role in international political and security fields.
Cultural Development
Strengthen core socialist values. We should work hard to equip the whole Party with the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics and educate the people in these theories. We should carry out extensive education about our ideals and convictions. We should intensify education in patriotism, collectivism and socialism, and enrich people's cultural life and enhance their moral strength. We should promote prosperity, democracy, civility and harmony; uphold freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law; and advocate patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendship, so as to cultivate core socialist values.
Improve civic morality. We should press ahead with the program for improving civic morality, exalt the true, the good, and the beautiful and reject the false, the evil and the ugly. We should encourage people to willingly meet their statutory duties and obligations to society and family. We should create a social atmosphere in which work is honored and creation is lauded, and cultivate social trends of recognizing honor and disgrace, practicing integrity, encouraging dedication, and promoting harmony.
Enrich people's intellectual and cultural lives. We should set up more free public cultural service facilities. We should promote outstanding traditional Chinese culture. We should extend and standardize the use of the standard Chinese language. We should promote the development and flourishing of culture of ethnic minorities. We should launch reading programs for the general public. We should improve the contents of online services and advocate healthy themes on the Internet. We should foster respect for science and make the whole nation better educated in science. We should carry out fitness activities across the country and fully promote both recreational and competitive sports.
Enhance the overall strength and international competitiveness of Chinese culture. We should promote rapid development of the cultural industry and cultural services and ensure both social effect and economic benefits, with emphasis on the former. We should develop philosophy and the social sciences; the press and publishing arena; radio, television and films; and literature and art. We should develop new forms of cultural operations. We should develop a modern network to improve our capacity for communication. We should open the cultural sector wider to the outside world and draw on the cultural achievements of other countries |
