Page 2 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

Fellow Members,
On behalf of the Standing Committee of the 13th National Committee of

the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), I present
this report on our work for your deliberation.

I. 2021 in Review: Fulfilling Our Duties with a Focus on Implementing
the 14th Five-Year Plan and Embarking on a New Journey

Last year was a milestone in the history of the Communist Party of China
(CPC) and the history of the People’s Republic of China. Confronted with a
complicated international landscape and the challenging tasks of pursuing
reform and development and ensuring stability at home, the CPC Central

Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core rallied and led the entire Party
and the Chinese people in responding with composure to once-in-a-century

changes taking place in the world and a once-in-a-century pandemic. We
celebrated the CPC’s centenary, triumphed in the battle against poverty on
schedule, achieved the First Centenary Goal of building a moderately
prosperous society in all respects, embarked on a new journey toward the

Second Centenary Goal of building a modern socialist country in all respects,
and got off to a good start with the 14th Five-Year Plan.

The Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on the Major
Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century,
which was adopted at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central
Committee, brought greater unity and cohesion to the whole Party and the

entire nation and further fortified our conviction and determination to learn
from history and create a bright future.

Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the CPPCC
National Committee and its Standing Committee followed the guidance of Xi
Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era;
enhanced our consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think

in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with
the central Party leadership; increased our confidence in the path, theory,
system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and stiffened

our determination to uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on
the CPC Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and to uphold the
CPC Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership.
