General Secretary, President, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping presided over and delivered an important speech at a symposium on the economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period for some provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities on the morning of the 30th in Shanghai. Xi Jinping pointed out that the Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization that aims at common prosperity for all people. In planning the economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, we must not forget our original aspiration, take benefiting the people as the fundamental value orientation, insist on safeguarding and improving people's livelihoods in development, and steadily promote common prosperity. We must deeply study and implement effective measures to optimize regional layout, promote coordinated regional development, consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, promote comprehensive rural revitalization and urban-rural integration, and accelerate agricultural and rural modernization, in order to steadily increase the incomes of urban and rural residents. We need to introduce a series of balanced and accessible livelihood policies and measures, focusing on solving urgent problems faced by the masses. When it comes to issues concerning the people, the key lies in implementation. All policies and measures must be real, effective, and practical, and efforts must be made within the scope of our capabilities.
