Therefore, "reform and opening up conforms to the aspirations of the party and the people, conforms to the trend of the times, the direction and path are completely correct, and the results and achievements cannot be denied. There is no way out for stagnation and retrogression." He also emphasized: "Today's world Extensive and profound changes are taking place, and contemporary China is undergoing extensive and profound changes. Opportunities are unprecedented, challenges are also unprecedented, and opportunities outweigh challenges. The whole party must unswervingly hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and lead the people from a new historical starting point Set out, seize and make good use of the important strategic opportunity period, seek truth and be pragmatic, forge ahead with determination, continue to build a well-off society in an all-round way, accelerate socialist modernization, and complete the lofty mission entrusted by the times."

To fulfill the lofty mission entrusted by the times, we must earnestly resolve a series of major issues in development and reform.For example: Ensure that the material and cultural needs of the growing population of 1.3 billion to 1.5 billion are coordinated with the development of resources, environment, and productivity; ensure the supply of capital necessary to solve the problem of large-scale development of the population of more than one billion; properly handle the issues of human resource development and labor quality Improve; solve the "three rural" issues, promote the process of industrialization, informationization, urbanization, marketization, and internationalization, both to accelerate development and maintain social stability; in the process of participating in economic globalization, build a socialist core value system and strengthen socialism. The attraction and cohesion of communist ideology, leading the fashion with the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, form a strong cultural force; continue to give full play to the special advantages of overseas Chinese in the world, and form a powerful joint force that not only maintains world peace but also promotes common development.

To fulfill the lofty mission entrusted by the times, we must carefully study and properly handle international relations and national security issues while realizing the strategic goal of China's peaceful rise. For example: in participating in the process of economic globalization, safeguarding national sovereignty and security; in the new round of major power adjustments, properly handling relations with other major powers; properly handling relations with neighboring countries; properly handling relations with developing countries relationship; form a long-term mechanism for dealing with the United Nations and other international organizations; establish and form a community of interests or a community of interests related to my country; ensure the smooth passage of my country's strategic resources; deal with the current international order with correct strategies and superb strategies and international relations.

To fulfill the lofty mission entrusted by the times, we must also resolve the issue of complete reunification of the motherland while adhering to the path of peaceful rise and development. In short, in order to fulfill the lofty mission entrusted by the times, we must unswervingly follow the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, hold higher the banner of peace, development, and cooperation, and make the internal and external aspects of building socialism with Chinese characteristics more important. Clearly unify, more clearly unify socialism that constantly develops social productive forces with socialism that advocates peace, more clearly unify "keep a low profile" and "make a difference", firmly seize new strategic opportunities, Win more friends and sympathizers, resolve all kinds of resistance and interference, and deal with various predictable and unpredictable risks and challenges, from building a well-off society in an all-round way to basically realizing modernization, from a political power to an economic power, getting rid of underdevelopment and achieving To achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation at the level of a moderately developed country.

In short, in order to fulfill the lofty mission entrusted by the times, we must use the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the concept of China's peaceful development path to dispel China's "economic threat theory", "military threat theory" and "model threat theory" and eliminate international The society has various doubts, jealousy, vigilance, and precautions about China's rise, and guides the majority of domestic cadres and masses to combine learning from international experience with promoting Chinese characteristics, and build a national cultural system and a sound national mentality that are compatible with the general trend of China's peaceful rise. Persist in using all of your words and actions, adhere to the new development concept, new civilization concept, new security concept and new international political and economic order concept that are compatible with China's peaceful development, and adhere to the socialist harmonious society, that is, democracy and the rule of law. "Open society", "learning society", "resource-saving society", "environment-friendly society" and "urban-rural coordination" society", proving to the world that a peacefully developing China can indeed become a political and economic power and at the same time be amiable to the world.

In short, the sky does not change, and the Tao does not change.The sky has changed, how can the Tao not change? The changes here, for Chinese people who have crossed the threshold of the new century, internally means that the era of planned economy has changed into the era of post-planned economy, that is, the era of socialist market economy; era of globalization. In the era of globalization, learning and learning from international experience is an inherent, long-term and objective need for China's peaceful development.However, there are four things we can’t learn: we can’t learn the barbaric act of plundering other countries’ resources by launching a war; we can’t learn the Cold War mentality that is keen to export ideology, export our own values, and engage in group politics; In the process of industrialization, the predatory management that consumes a large amount of human non-renewable resources cannot be learned; the expansion behavior of a large number of immigrants to establish overseas colonies cannot be learned.

To learn something but not to learn, to do something but not to do it, this is a kind of "concept of turning contradictions into harmony".Lei Mo, a senior consultant of Goldman Sachs and the author of the "Beijing Consensus", believes that such a "idea of ​​turning contradictions into harmony" is "the traditional value concept that China has continued to this day."With such a "traditional value concept that China has continued to this day" and "independent innovation ideas" that "understand what is happening in China today in a simple way", then we can "make domestic and foreign aligning views and making its rise appear more harmonious."

In short, the most distinctive feature of the new era is reform and opening up, the most notable achievement of the new era is rapid development, and the most prominent symbol of the new era is advancing with the times.As long as we adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must also adhere to the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics, the path of new industrialization with Chinese characteristics, the path of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics, the path of urbanization with Chinese characteristics, and the path of political development with Chinese characteristics; then, we will be able to As Hu Jintao said, shoulder the historical mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and promote the cause of the party and the people to achieve new and greater victories.
