To promote Chinese modernization, we need to handle several major relations well.※

Supreme leader

　　Promoting Chinese modernization is a systematic project, which requires overall consideration, systematic planning and overall promotion, and correctly handles a series of major relations. Here I emphasize six aspects.

　　一是顶层设计与实践探索的关系。党的二十大报告深刻阐述了中国式现代化的中国特色、本质要求和重大原则，是对推进中国式现代化的最高顶层设计。中国式现代化是分阶段、分领域推进的，实现各个阶段发展目标、落实各个领域发展战略同样需要进行顶层设计。进行顶层设计，需要深刻洞察世界发展大势，准确把握人民群众的共同愿望，深入探索经济社会发展规律，使制定的规划和政策体系体现时代性、把握规律性、富于创造性，做到远近结合、上下贯通、内容协调。同时，推进中国式现代化是一个探索性事业，还有许多未知领域，需要我们在实践中去大胆探索，通过改革创新来推动事业发展，决不能刻舟求剑、守株待兔。各地区各部门要结合各自具体实际开拓创新，特别是在前沿实践、未知领域，鼓励大胆探索、敢为人先，寻求有效解决新矛盾新问题的思路和办法，努力创造可复制、可推广的新鲜经验。

　　The second is the relationship between strategy and tactics.Strategy and tactics are powerful weapons for our party to lead the people to transform the world, change practice and promote historical development. The correct use of strategy and tactics is the secret of our party’s success in creating brilliant history, achieving great achievements in the future, overcoming various risk challenges and constantly moving from victory to victory. To promote Chinese modernization, we must inherit, apply and develop this secret of success. It is necessary to enhance the forward-looking strategy, accurately grasp the inevitable trend of things, keenly understand the opportunities and challenges that may arise on the road ahead, and foresee and lead the future with scientific strategies. To enhance the overall situation of the strategy, plan strategic objectives, formulate strategic measures and make strategic arrangements, we must focus on solving major issues that have a bearing on the success or failure of the cause of the party and the state. To enhance the stability of the strategy, once the strategy is formed, it must be adhered to for a long time, grasped to the end, done well, and not changed at will. To achieve this, we need to improve our political stance, establish a world perspective, be mindful of "the country is the biggest", connect history, reality and future, connect China with the world, enhance our strategic thinking ability, make our formulated strategy practical and effective, and provide strong strategic support for Chinese modernization. Strategies provide scientific methods for strategy implementation. The environmental conditions for implementing the strategy are changing at any time, and new situations and new problems will be encountered every moment. This requires us to organically combine the principle of strategy with the flexibility of strategy, be flexible, improvise and make decisions on the occasion.Grasp the strategic initiative in adapting to local conditions, moving according to the situation and taking advantage of the trend.

　　The third is the relationship between integrity and innovation.Being upright and innovating is an important way of thinking for our party to govern the country in the new era. Only by being upright can we not lose our way and make subversive mistakes, and only by innovating can we grasp and lead the times. The exploration of Chinese modernization is a historical process of development in inheritance and innovation in keeping the right. In advancing the new journey of Chinese modernization, we must first keep the roots, roots and souls of Chinese modernization, unswervingly adhere to the China characteristics, essential requirements and major principles of Chinese modernization, adhere to the party’s basic theory, basic line and general plan, and adhere to a series of major principles and policies since the 18th CPC National Congress to ensure the correct direction of Chinese modernization. At the same time, we should put innovation in a prominent position in the overall development of the country, conform to the requirements of the development of the times, focus on solving major theoretical and practical problems, actively adapt to changes, vigorously promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation and other aspects of innovation, constantly open up new areas and new tracks for development, and shape new development momentum and new advantages. Actively create a strong atmosphere of advocating innovation, encouraging innovation and being brave in innovation, so that innovation becomes a common practice in the whole society. Leading cadres at all levels should speed up the transformation of ideas, ways of thinking, ways of behavior and working methods that do not meet the requirements of innovation and development, and truly become the leaders and promoters of innovation.

　　The fourth is the relationship between efficiency and fairness.中国式现代化既要创造比资本主义更高的效率，又要更有效地维护社会公平，更好实现效率与公平相兼顾、相促进、相统一。要坚持和完善社会主义基本经济制度，毫不动摇巩固和发展公有制经济，毫不动摇鼓励、支持、引导非公有制经济发展，充分发挥市场在资源配置中的决定性作用，更好发挥政府作用。构建全国统一大市场，深化要素市场化改革，建设高标准市场体系，营造市场化、法治化、国际化营商环境，持续优化劳动、资本、土地、资源等生产要素配置，着力提高全要素生产率。加快建立以权利公平、机会公平、规则公平为主要内容的社会公平保障体系，保证人民平等参与、平等发展权利。深入推进司法体制改革，努力让人民群众在每一项法律制度、每一个执法决定、每一宗司法案件中都感受到公平正义。破除阶层固化的体制机制障碍，畅通社会上升通道。健全基本公共服务体系，提高公共服务水平，增强均衡性和可及性，扎实推进共同富裕取得更为明显的实质性进展。

　　The fifth is the relationship between vitality and order.In the historical process of modernization, it is a worldwide problem to handle this relationship well. Chinese-style modernization should and can achieve a dynamic balance of living but not chaotic, active and orderly. It is necessary to deepen the reform of institutional mechanisms in all aspects, fully release the creative potential of the whole society, and encourage scientists, entrepreneurs, writers and artists and other talents, especially young talents, to innovate and create. Actively develop inner-party democracy, safeguard party member’s rights, take practical and effective measures to solve the problems of unwilling, afraid and poor responsibility, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of cadres and officials in party member to start businesses. Strengthen the guidance of public opinion, form the correct orientation of labor to create wealth, work hard to create performance, and strive to create happiness, prevent the growth and spread of bad ideas such as belittling labor, getting something for nothing, getting rich overnight, enjoying the success, and lying passively on equal footing, and fully stimulate the creative vitality of the whole society. Coordinate development and security, implement the overall national security concept, improve the national security system, enhance the ability to safeguard national security, and firmly safeguard the security of state power, system, ideology and key areas. Improve the level of public security governance, improve the social governance system, and enhance the efficiency of social governance. Develop people’s democracy in the whole process, correctly handle contradictions among the people under the new situation, strive to resolve contradictions and disputes at the grassroots level and in the bud, educate and guide the people to express their interests and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests through rational and legal channels. Strengthen the overall prevention and control of public security, severely punish all kinds of illegal and criminal activities strongly reflected by the masses according to law, and ensure that people live and work in peace and contentment.

　　Sixth, the relationship between self-reliance and opening up.To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must adhere to independence, self-reliance, the development of the country and the nation on the basis of our own strength, and firmly grasp the fate of China’s development and progress in our own hands. It is necessary to speed up the construction of a new development pattern, realize internal recycling, and rely on the advantages of China’s ultra-large-scale market to attract global resource elements and enhance the linkage effect of domestic and international markets. Maintain economic security, especially food security, energy security, and industrial chain supply chain security. Improve the new national system, strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, take the national strategic needs as the guide, gather strength to carry out original and leading scientific and technological research, and resolutely win the key core technology battle. Constantly expand high-level opening to the outside world, improve the quality and level of trade and investment cooperation, steadily expand institutional opening such as rules, regulations, management and standards, promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road", optimize the regional opening layout, implement the promotion strategy of free trade pilot zones, expand the network of high-standard free trade zones facing the world, deeply participate in global industrial division of labor and cooperation, maintain a diversified and stable international economic structure and economic and trade relations, and expand the development space of Chinese modernization.
