The Strategic Vision for Developing Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era

The period between the 19th and the 20th CPC national congresses is the period in which the timeframes of the Two Centennial Goals converge. In this period, not only must we finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieve the first centennial goal, we must also build on this achievement to embark on a new journey toward the second centennial goal of fully building a modern socialist country. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the international and domestic environments and the conditions for China’s development, we have drawn up a two-stage development plan for the period from 2020 to the middle of this century.

In the first stage from 2020 to 2035, we will build on the foundation of the completion of the moderately prosperous society with a further 15 years of hard work to see that socialist modernization is basically realized. The vision is that by the end of this stage, the following goals will have been met:

? China’s economic and technological strength has increased significantly. China has become a global leader in innovation.

? The rights of the people to participate and to develop as equals are adequately protected. The rule of law for the country, the government, and society is basically in place. Institutions in all fields are further improved; the modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance is basically achieved.

? Social etiquette and civility are significantly enhanced. China’s cultural soft power has grown much stronger; Chinese culture has greater appeal.

? People are leading more comfortable lives, and the size of the middle-income group has grown considerably. Disparities in urban-rural development, in development between regions, and in living standards are significantly reduced; equitable access to basic public services is basically ensured; and solid progress has been made toward prosperity for everyone.

? A modern social governance system has taken shape, and society is full of vitality, harmonious, and orderly.

? There is a fundamental improvement in the environment; the goal of building a Beautiful China is basically attained.

In the second stage from 2035 to the middle of the 21st century, we will, building on having basically achieved modernization, work hard for a further 15 years and develop China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful. By the end of this stage, the following goals will have been met:

? New heights are reached in every dimension of material, political, cultural and ethical, social, and ecological advancement.

? Modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance is achieved.

? China has become a global leader in terms of composite national strength and international influence.

? Common prosperity for everyone is basically achieved.

? The Chinese people enjoy happier, safer, and healthier lives.

? The Chinese nation will become a proud and active member of the community of nations.

This is our strategic vision for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era: Complete building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, move on to basically realizing modernization, and then turn to making China a great modern socialist country in every dimension.

新時代中國特色社會主義發展戰略安排

從中共十九大到二十大，是中國“兩個一百年”奮斗目標的歷史交匯期。中共十九大報告提出，既要全面建成小康社會、實現第一個百年奮斗目標，又要乘勢而上開啟全面建設社會主義現代化國家新征程，向第二個百年奮斗目標邁進。中共十九大綜合分析國際國內形勢和中國發展條件，提出從二〇二〇年到本世紀中葉可以分兩個階段來安排。

第一個階段，從二〇二〇年到二〇三五年，在全面建成小康社會的基礎上，再奮斗十五年，基本實現社會主義現代化。到那時，中國經濟實力、科技實力將大幅躍升，躋身創新型國家前列；人民平等參與、平等發展權利得到充分保障，法治國家、法治政府、法治社會基本建成，各方面制度更加完善，國家治理體系和治理能力現代化基本實現；社會文明程度達到新的高度，國家文化軟實力顯著增強，中華文化影響更加廣泛深入；人民生活更為寬裕，中等收入群體比例明顯提高，城鄉區域發展差距和居民生活水平差距顯著縮小，基本公共服務均等化基本實現，全體人民共同富裕邁出堅實步伐；現代社會治理格局基本形成，社會充滿活力又和諧有序；生態環境根本好轉，美麗中國目標基本實現。

第二個階段，從二〇三五年到本世紀中葉，在基本實現現代化的基礎上，再奮斗十五年，把中國建成富強民主文明和諧美麗的社會主義現代化強國。到那時，中國物質文明、政治文明、精神文明、社會文明、生態文明將全面提升，實現國家治理體系和治理能力現代化，成為綜合國力和國際影響力領先的國家，全體人民共同富裕基本實現，中國人民將享有更加幸福安康的生活，中華民族將以更加昂揚的姿態屹立于世界民族之林。

從全面建成小康社會到基本實現現代化，再到全面建成社會主義現代化強國，是新時代中國特色社會主義發展的戰略安排。
