Chapter 31 The Scientific Outlook on Development is the Direct Inheritance of Deng Xiaoping's Outlook on Development

You said: "Some people say that the scientific concept of development is a new concept of development, and that Deng Xiaoping's 'development is the last word' is an old concept of development. That is wrong." Why?In addition to environmental protection, is there any other reason?Is there a better reason? In the past two years, there have been many strange arguments.Fortunately, at the "two sessions" last year, Hu Jintao made it very clear that the direction of reform of the socialist market economy cannot be shaken. We must speed up reform and seize opportunities for reform.Wen Jiabao also reiterated reforms when answering reporters' questions.Since the central government has such a direction, I think our reform will advance.Of course, relying on a few leaders is not enough, it needs the consensus of the whole nation.This consensus is: China's socialist reform and opening up initiated by Deng Xiaoping is a great historic innovation, which has achieved epoch-making success, strengthened the belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and brought social productivity, comprehensive national strength and people's living standards to a new level. The people have shared the fruits of reform and opening up to varying degrees.Moreover, reform and opening up have also brought China into integration with the world, and its international status has risen unprecedentedly.Not only has the Chinese people's thinking and spiritual realm made historic progress, but China's participation has promoted the historical process of economic globalization.This consensus should also include that although the reform and opening up of the socialist market economy has made great achievements, it is far from being completed.In the product market, our reform is basically relatively complete, but in terms of the production factor market, especially the financial market, capital market, and human resource market, I am afraid that the reform has just begun.State-owned enterprise reform has always been a difficult problem.Not only that, but the reform of the political system, science and technology, education, cultural system, and social system must be continuously promoted, and the legal system must also be strengthened.Therefore, we must engage in the scientific outlook on development.The Scientific Outlook on Development is a concentrated expression of the world outlook and methodology on development of the three generations of the central leadership of the party. Theory is an important guiding principle for my country's economic and social development, and a major strategic thought that must be adhered to and implemented in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The core of the scientific outlook on development is development, and development is the last word.Without development, there is no science at all.Commanding everything with the scientific concept of development means emphasizing and improving the inherent scientific nature of development.For the scientific outlook on development, first of all, it is necessary to have a scientific attitude.Without a scientific attitude, it is not a scientific outlook on development.For example, per capita income, poverty, and polarization all need to be solved and considered with a scientific attitude.Its essence is to seek truth from facts, proceed from reality, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth.Second, everything is done according to scientific laws.We must act in accordance with the common law of human development, the law of socialist development, and the law of socialism with Chinese characteristics.To modernize, we must act in accordance with the laws of modernization, the laws of peaceful rise, and the laws that center on economic construction. "Development is the last word" must be grasped.Adhere to the reform and opening up as the basic driving force, deepen the reform of the economic system and political system, deepen the reform of the scientific and technological and cultural systems, let some regions get rich first, let some people get rich first, adhere to the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, expand opening up, and share the world The interests of transformation, and so on.Thirdly, to implement the scientific outlook on development, we must have scientific methods and look at problems dialectically, rather than extreme, rigid, and metaphysical.Marx asked us to look at problems comprehensively, analyze specific problems in detail, and grasp the main contradiction in everything.We absolutely must not be lost by side details, and we must never make right or "left" tendentious mistakes again.As a new great revolution, reform and opening up cannot be smooth sailing, nor can it be accomplished overnight.The most fundamental thing is that reform and opening up conforms to the aspirations of the Party and the people and conforms to the trend of the times. The direction and path are completely correct. The achievements and achievements cannot be denied, and there is no way out for stagnation and retrogression.
