Those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for one area. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has based on the overall situation of the party and the country's cause, adhered to the national plan of economic work, and has overcome many medium- and long-term problems in my country's economic development. It has continuously enhanced the resilience of economic development in the accelerated evolution of major changes unseen in the world in a century. General Secretary Xi Jinping has published a series of important expositions on adhering to the national one-game chess, many of which are included in the first volume of "Selected Economic Writings of Xi Jinping". For example, "Several Relationships That Need to be Correctly Grasped to Promote the Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt" states: "To promote the development of a huge collective, we must properly handle the relationship between its own development and coordinated development. We must first solve ideological and cognitive problems, and then work hard in terms of institutional mechanisms and policy measures. husband, do a good job in the "one game of chess" for regional coordinated development"; "Principles to be adhered to in achieving the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality" points out: "National coordination means adhering to the national one game of chess, strengthening top-level design, giving full play to institutional advantages, implementing the same responsibilities of the party and government, and consolidating the responsibilities of all parties"; etc. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition provides fundamental guidance for us to establish a national game of chess and promote high-quality development. On the new journey, we must be guided by Xi Jinping’s Economic Thought, adhere to the national plan of economic and social development, concentrate on running our own affairs, actively recognize, respond to, and seek changes, win strategic initiative in fierce international competition, and promote major breakthroughs in strategic tasks related to the overall situation of China-style modernization.

Adhering to the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess is an inevitable requirement for transforming our country’s institutional advantages into development resilience.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in "In-depth Understanding of New Development Concepts and Promoting Supply-side Structural Reform": "To play the national game of development during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, coordinated development is the key to victory." In "In-depth Study and Understanding of the Spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee," General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Adhere to the system concept, coordinate and implement policies dialectically, and handle major relationships such as economy and society, government and market, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, development and security." As a systemic, holistic and collaborative governance concept, adhering to a national game of chess is an important working method to promote my country's economic and social development. It requires us to integrate the forces of all parties, coordinate various interests, and coordinate various tasks under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee to achieve the country's overall strategic goals and safeguard the country's fundamental interests.

Our country is a big country, which not only means that our country has scale advantages in development and can concentrate its efforts on major tasks, but also means that different regions have different situations and endowments. Socialist modernization covers a wide range of areas and involves many aspects. Only by taking all aspects into account, coordinating all parties, bringing everyone's strength together, and pooling wisdom from all aspects can we enhance development confidence to the greatest extent and gather development synergy to the greatest extent. Adhering to the national one-game chess strategy was put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping on the basis of his profound insight into the general trend of my country's economic and social development. It is the inheritance and development of our party's core leadership role and fine traditions of overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties. It provides fundamental guidance for gathering development synergies and completing major strategic tasks in the new era and new journey.

From a theoretical logic point of view, the idea of adhering to a national game of chess creatively combines the Marxist system view with my country's specific reality, viewing the country as a complex, dynamic, and open system, emphasizing the coordination between subsystems to achieve the optimization of the overall goal; from a historical logic point of view, adhering to the thought of a national game of chess is deeply rooted in the history and culture of our country and the leadership of our party The practice of revolution, construction, and reform, which has been continuously enriched and improved with the development of the times, is the inheritance and sublimation of the wisdom of our party in governing the country; from a practical logic point of view, in the current complex and severe situation, adhering to the national one-game thinking provides important guidelines for coordinating national forces, resisting various risks and challenges, helping to ensure national security, resolving internal contradictions, and achieving long-term development goals.

In general, adhering to the national one-game chess requires that under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, we must correctly handle a series of relationships between the whole and the parts, democracy and centralization, coordinate various regions, departments, and fields, promote dynamic balance, optimize resource allocation, form a strong synergy, and promote the realization of the country's overall strategic goals. This is not only a need to cope with the current and future complex and severe environments at home and abroad, but also demonstrates the advantages of my country's socialist system in concentrating efforts to accomplish major things. Since the new era, it is precisely by adhering to the national game of chess and focusing on "ten fingers playing the piano" that the whole country is connected into one heart and twisted into a rope, so that various policies are complementary and coupled with each other, and we have formed a majestic force to promote socialist modernization. When faced with the test of floods, earthquakes, epidemics, and the challenges of financial crises and trade frictions, we have managed to take risks and turn dangers into opportunities. Deeply understanding and implementing the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess is not only an inherent requirement to strengthen institutional confidence, make good use of institutional advantages, and unleash the power of the system, but also a practical need to uphold and improve the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.

Currently, we are planning for economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Pay attention to the systematic and holistic synergy of goals, tasks and policy measures, and complete the planning and preparation work with high quality." The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for basically realizing socialist modernization, laying a solid foundation, and making full efforts. Our country's development environment is facing profound and complex changes, and various contradictions and risks are intertwined and superimposed. From an external perspective, major changes in the world that have not been seen in a century are accelerating. Geopolitical risks are intertwined with economic globalization. Global industrial and supply chains are facing impact and restructuring. Global problems such as weak world economic growth, intensified impacts of climate change, and frequent food and energy crises are superimposed on each other. From an internal perspective, our country's economy is in a critical period of transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the growth momentum. The economic rebound needs to be further consolidated. The problem of unbalanced and inadequate development is still prominent. The reform has entered a critical period and a deep-water zone. At the same time, it also faces some internal challenges, such as the urgent need for deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, the quality and efficiency of financial services to the real economy and the integration of industry and finance need to be improved, and regional development strategies still need further coordination and linkage.

This requires us to consider all aspects of the situation more carefully and make overall arrangements. It is necessary to further firmly establish a sense of the overall situation, always adhere to a national game of chess to coordinate and promote various undertakings of the party and the country, and pay more attention to system integration to further consolidate the foundation of our country's economic development and enhance the security and stability of development. At the same time, we must unify firm institutional confidence and deepen reform and innovation, continuously enhance the integrity, systematicness, and synergy of work on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, transform institutional advantages into governance efficiency and development resilience, continue to win strategic initiative, and enhance our country's survivability, competitiveness, development, and sustainability in various foreseeable and unforeseen storms and storms.

Adhering to the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess leads our country's economy to show strong resilience in a complex and severe environment

Economic resilience generally refers to an economy's comprehensive ability to withstand, recover, adapt and transform when it suffers external shocks. It is an important component of its development security and stability. Economic resilience not only focuses on whether an economy can recover from shocks, but also focuses on whether it can maintain the momentum and trend of long-term development in the process of responding to shocks, and even upgrade to a higher stage of development. Strong economic resilience is not only a prerequisite for successfully coping with various uncertainties and winning strategic initiative in complex changes, but also a solid foundation for promoting high-quality economic development and an important guarantee for ensuring the realization of the country's long-term strategic goals.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that my country's economic development is highly resilient and pointed out in "How to View the New Normal and How to Do the New Normal" that "the fundamentals of my country's economic development are good, with great potential, strong resilience, and large room for maneuver." It is precisely because our country has always maintained and continuously enhanced the resilience of economic development that it has the confidence to "despite the rising waves and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai" to maintain the continuity and stability of development, not to change its strategic direction and development rhythm due to external pressure, and to move towards a higher form, better structure, and more sustainable direction. Staying on top of the national game is critical to building economic resilience. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always insisted on systematically planning and promoting my country's economic development with the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess. It has achieved historic achievements, demonstrated strong vitality, and significantly improved the resilience of economic development, which is mainly reflected in the following areas.

Building a new development pattern provides a strategic path to enhance the resilience of economic development. Building a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles reinforcing each other is an inevitable choice to adapt to the requirements of my country's new development stage and create new advantages in international cooperation and competition. The construction of a new development pattern is based on the domestic circulation based on the unified national market. The key lies in the unimpeded economic circulation, which can achieve a positive interaction between high-quality development and high-level security in a complex and changing international environment, ensuring that our country can maintain basic normal economic operation and overall social stability under extreme circumstances. Adhere to the national game of chess, clarify their respective development positioning in the overall development of the country, and explore effective ways to promote a smooth domestic cycle, which can make all links of production, distribution, circulation, and consumption smoother. In recent years, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, all regions and departments have solidly promoted the construction of a new development pattern. my country's institutional rules have accelerated the unification, the level of free flow of factors has continued to improve, resource allocation has been further optimized, economic efficiency has been further improved, the vitality and confidence of the large market have continued to increase, and the emergency response and recovery capabilities of the economic system have been significantly improved in the face of various risks and challenges.

Developing new productive forces provides the core driving force for improving the resilience of economic development. Cultivating and developing new productive forces will help promote the dynamic balance of supply and demand through technological innovation, deeply rooted our economy in a more synergistic industrial ecology, and become the key to resisting external risks and maintaining endogenous power. The cultivation and development of new productive forces have regional characteristics and spatial differentiation laws. We must resolutely prevent rushes and bubbles, and we cannot simply think that the development of new productive forces is only a matter for developed regions. Instead, on the basis of adhering to a national game of chess, we must adapt to local conditions, implement classified policies, and constantly open up new areas and new tracks. In recent years, our country has adhered to the national game of chess and given full play to the advantages of the socialist system in concentrating efforts to accomplish major tasks. It has made historic achievements in science and technology, and has continued to make breakthroughs in key core technologies, providing core elements for the development of new productive forces. For example, smart agriculture realizes precise planting and intelligent management through satellite remote sensing, Internet of Things and big data technology, and effectively improves agricultural risk resistance; the integration of industrial Internet and artificial intelligence has spawned a number of "black light factories" to achieve 24-hour unmanned production, and production efficiency and product quality have been greatly improved; large-scale development of clean energy such as offshore wind power and photovoltaics has optimized my country's energy structure and improved energy security capabilities; the UHV DC transmission project Tibet-Guangdong DC project has started construction, promoting the optimal layout of energy resources across the country; and so on.

Comprehensively deepening reforms will provide institutional guarantees for improving the resilience of economic development. Comprehensively deepening reforms is a major strategic deployment related to the overall cause of the party and the country. It can effectively break down the institutional obstacles that constrain economic development and stimulate the endogenous power of my country's development. Comprehensively deepening reform is a systematic project. We cannot go it alone or advance alone, and we must not focus on the "one-third of an acre" of a certain field or department, nor can we mess up the war and grab the eyebrows and beards. Instead, we must establish the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess, put our own work in the overall work of the party and the country, plan and consider it as a whole, and cannot allow departmental interests and local interests to affect the overall reform situation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have persisted in promoting comprehensive and deepening reforms through a nationwide game of chess. The basic institutional framework in various fields has been basically established. Historical changes, systemic reshaping, and overall reconstruction have been achieved in many fields. The modernization level of the national governance system and governance capabilities has been significantly improved. Especially in the economic field, a series of reform measures have effectively eliminated obstacles that restrict regional development such as local protectionism and market segmentation. The flow of commodity factors and resources has become smoother, macro-control capabilities have continued to increase, economic development has strong vitality and resilience, and has effectively dealt with various risks and challenges such as changes in the international environment and the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Regional strategies provide spatial support for enhancing the resilience of economic development. Those who are good at chess will seek the advantage, and those who govern well will seek the overall situation. Coordinating regional coordinated development has always been a major issue and needs to be considered from the overall development perspective. Different regions have different strategic positionings, strategic missions and goals. Adhere to the national game of chess, follow the path of reasonable division of labor and optimized development based on the conditions of each region, and coordinate and promote regional coordinated development strategies, regional major strategies, main functional area strategies, etc., to form a regional economic layout with complementary advantages and high-quality development. It will not only promote the overall improvement of economic momentum, but also help smooth the domestic circulation, laying a solid foundation for better coping with changes in the external environment and enhancing the resilience of economic development. In recent years, all regions and departments have implemented the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess and transformed the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee into the work tasks of their respective regions and departments based on their own actual conditions. Regional strategies are interconnected and proactively connected, and regional coordinated development is moving to a higher level. The regional economic aggregate continues to increase, the relative gap continues to narrow, the leading role of major regional strategies continues to appear, and the magnificent picture of regional development of east-west mutual assistance, north-south coordination, and land and sea coordination is accelerating.

High-quality financial development provides a "shock absorber" to enhance the resilience of economic development. The real economy is the foundation of economic development, and finance is the blood of the national economy. The two coexist and prosper together. Adhering to the "one game of chess" between finance and the economy, correctly handling the relationship between the real economy and finance, and coordinating the promotion of high-quality economic and financial development can provide a solid foundation and a broad market for the construction of the financial system with a strong economic foundation, while promoting capital flows through a good financial environment and enhancing the economy's ability to resist risks. In recent years, our country has coordinated the promotion of high-quality economic and financial development, strengthened the consistency of top-level design and policy orientation, and promoted the deepening of reforms through systematic collaboration; it has continuously promoted market-oriented interest rate reforms, improved the transmission efficiency of monetary policy, and driven social financing costs to stabilize and decline; it has actively promoted financial supervision horizontally and vertically to maintain the stability of the financial market; it has accelerated the construction of a reasonably structured financial market system, and continued to optimize financial products and service systems. my country's financial resource allocation efficiency and capabilities continue to improve, and its international competitiveness and rule influence continue to increase.

Overall, these areas are interlocking and mutually supportive, demonstrating that adhering to the national one-game thinking has led our country's economy to demonstrate strong resilience in complex and severe changes. It also fully proves that adhering to the national one-game mentality provides an important guarantee for enhancing the resilience of my country's economic development.

Adhere to the idea of ​​​​a national game of chess to further stimulate the vitality of economic development and enhance the resilience of economic development

The current and future period is a critical period for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in "Several Major Theoretical and Practical Issues in Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform": "The connotation of Chinese-style modernization is very rich, and further comprehensively deepening reform must be all-round." Facing the increasingly complex external environment, we need far-sighted and systematic thinking more than ever before, adhere to the national one-game chess work ideas and methods, further stimulate economic vitality, and comprehensively enhance the resilience and security of our country's economic development.

Accelerate the construction of a unified national market and enhance the resilience of the economic cycle. Implement the basic requirements of "five unifications and one openness", resolutely eliminate local protection and market segmentation, truly smooth the domestic circulation, consolidate the endogenous cornerstone of economic operation, and enhance the stability of economic operation. Actively promote each region to clarify its position in the overall development of the country, deeply promote the construction of a unified national market, abandon small self-circulation within the province, city, etc., adhere to the combination of goal orientation and problem orientation, and use systematic thinking to boost consumption and expand domestic demand. Coordinate consumption and investment, do a good job in expectation management, build a unified, transparent, and legalized basic market institutional system, improve the consistency assessment mechanism of macro policy orientation, and enhance the systematicness and forward-lookingness of the design of institutional rules. Promote the construction of coordinated supporting systems, strengthen the coordination of the unified market basic system and deepening the reform of market-oriented allocation of factors, and consider the chess game of government supervision, industry supervision, and social supervision, and establish a national unified industry self-discipline and social supervision system and mechanism to lay a solid foundation for smoothing the domestic cycle, enhancing the resilience of economic development, and promoting high-quality development.

Coordinate industrial development and create a more resilient industrial system. Creating a modern industrial system that is independent, controllable, safe, reliable, and highly competitive is an intrinsic requirement for accelerating the development of new productive forces and promoting high-quality development. The modern industrial system is characterized by digitalization, intelligence, greenness, integration, etc., which not only requires giving full play to the supporting role of scientific and technological innovation, but also requires adapting measures to local conditions and giving full play to local characteristics and advantages. To accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, we cannot unilaterally focus on the development of one or a few industries, but must adhere to innovation-led and coordinated development to enhance the overall strength of the industry, create a more resilient industrial system, and provide an important carrier for the development of new productive forces. Facing the future, we must adhere to the national game of chess and guide superior scientific research forces, leading enterprises, financial capital, etc. across the country to form an innovation consortium to collaboratively tackle key problems and form synergy. On this basis, we will strengthen the traction of scene innovation, promote the cross-regional flow of scene resources, data elements, talents, capital, etc., promote the implementation of new technologies and the vigorous development of emerging industries. At the same time, a classified and hierarchical industrial safety governance system is set up to build a resilient and strong industrial ecosystem through classified policies. For example, for key industries related to national security, independent and controllable production capabilities and backup systems can be formed under unified national planning and layout; for strategic emerging industries, "chain owner" companies can be encouraged to build an open, collaborative, risk-sharing supply chain ecosystem, and rely on key common technologies and cutting-edge leading technologies to cultivate and expand emerging industries.

Further comprehensively deepen reform, expand opening up, and improve the overall effectiveness of openness and resilience. Comprehensively deepening reform is the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, and opening up is a distinctive symbol of Chinese-style modernization. It is necessary to coordinate scientifically, adhere to the unity of reform and opening up, promote the two to complement each other and promote each other, and continuously enhance the ability of economic development and the ability to withstand risks. Use systematic thinking to plan and promote various reform measures, enhance the stability and systematicness of the system, form overall effectiveness, and enhance development confidence with stable expectations. Continue to steadily expand institutional opening-up, actively align with international high-standard economic and trade rules, promote reform through opening-up, identify weak links and risk points in high-level opening-up, form a feedback mechanism, and lead reforms in related domestic fields. At the same time, we should strengthen the overall coordination of opening-up policies in various regions in the country, avoid policy fragmentation, and form a nationwide opening-up pattern. We should give full play to the comparative advantages of various regions in opening up to the outside world, match the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee, strive to create a highland for opening up to the outside world, optimize the layout of regional opening up, and expand the space for external resilience.

Strengthen regional strategic coordination and integrated development to build a more resilient new regional economic pattern. Strengthening the systematic docking and collaborative linkage of regional strategies, and coordinating the implementation of regional coordinated development strategies, major regional strategies, main functional area strategies, new urbanization strategies, etc. can enhance the resilience of regional economic development. We should adhere to the national game of chess, adhere to the coordination of land and sea, and mutual assistance between mountains and seas, better play the guiding role of national development planning strategies, and strengthen the construction of corridors between major strategies and between hinterland and ports. At the same time, from the perspective of the overall national regional development layout, the positioning and development ideas of local development in the national overall situation should be clarified, so that each locality can take its place. Encourage different regions to proactively connect with major regional strategies, proceed from regional characteristics, give full play to their respective comparative advantages, and form complementarities in terms of industrial layout and collaboration. Guide advantageous land-based industries to continuously expand to the ocean, give full play to the leading role of coastal areas in scientific and technological innovation, promote regional integrated development, and continuously improve economic stability. We will coordinate and take into account diverse needs such as economy, life, ecology, and security, develop clustered, networked modern city agglomerations and metropolitan areas, and achieve infrastructure interconnection, free flow of factor resources, and coordinated linkage of governance mechanisms on a larger scale.

Strengthen financial empowerment for high-quality economic development and firmly follow the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics. Adhere to the fundamental purpose of financial services for the real economy, properly handle the relationship between the real economy and finance, and actively establish and improve a modern financial system that is highly adaptable, competitive, and inclusive to cope with the increasing sources of global turbulence and risk points, and provide strong support for the construction of a financial power. On the one hand, we insist on considering science and technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance as a whole, and are demand-oriented to further optimize financial products and services, develop accurately adapted financial products, and continuously improve the coverage of financial services and the level of high-quality development of the financial empowerment economy. On the other hand, efforts should be made to prevent and resolve systemic financial risks, and risk prevention and control should be regarded as the eternal theme of financial work. Focus on one region and plan for the overall situation, strengthen the coordinated supervision of financial management departments, macro-control departments, industry authorities, judicial organs, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies, etc., implement local risk disposal and stability maintenance responsibilities, and improve the financial risk disposal responsibility mechanism with consistent powers and responsibilities.
