and effectively upgrade and appropriately expand China’s economic output. We
must continue to improve living standards and maintain social stability.

With these efforts, we will set the stage for building a modern socialist country
in all respects.
In carrying out specific work, we need to apply systems thinking, uphold
fundamental principles and break new ground, and work hard to achieve full
