Today, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Solidly Promoting the Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Areas and Fully Revitalizing Rural Areas" was announced to the public, marking the 14th guiding document for rural work issued continuously by the central government since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is another number one document with the theme of comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. The concept of "regular precise assistance" was first proposed in the central government's number one document. Lin Wanlong, Vice President of China Agricultural University, pointed out that the biggest difference is the three words "regular precise assistance". Before 2020, it was referred to as the "tackling period", from 2021 to 2025 it is the "transition period", and starting from 2026, it is specifically called "regular assistance", with the core idea being stability and minor adjustments. Overall, previous measures have been effective and need to be stabilized. However, there are also specific policy measures that need further optimization, hence the need for minor adjustments.
