Q: Adhering to the concept of system is one of the principles that must be followed in economic and social development during the 14th Five Year Plan period. How to understand the connotation of system concept and its significance to the development of the new stage?
Dong Zhenhua: The so-called system concept is a way of thinking that uses the viewpoints and methods of system theory to understand things and strive to achieve optimal problem handling.
Understanding the connotation of system concept should start from the characteristics of the system. First, the system has integrity, which is an organic whole formed by the interaction of various elements. Secondly, the system has a structure. The structure of the system emphasizes the understanding of the function of the system from the perspective of the structure of the system, and the understanding of how the elements of the system are connected according to the structural model and how to achieve interaction. Thirdly, the system is hierarchical. The arrangement and combination of various elements in the system is not disorderly, but a hierarchical and orderly structure. Fourth, the system is open and needs to exchange material, energy and information with the external environment, so as to realize the survival and development of the system itself.
Adhering to the concept of system is of great significance to the development of the new stage. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee clearly stated that the economic and social development during the "14th Five Year Plan" period must follow the principle of adhering to the system concept. First of all, adhering to the concept of system is an inevitable requirement for analyzing new changes in the development environment. As China has entered a new stage of development, the development environment we are facing has undergone profound and complex changes compared with the past. Although we have made many achievements in development, there will be no fewer problems after development than before. We need to comprehensively grasp the unprecedented changes in the world and the new situation, new tasks and new requirements of the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, It is necessary to adhere to systematic thinking, enhance the concept of the overall situation, and analyze and judge the situation.
Secondly, adhering to systematic thinking is an inevitable requirement to solve the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the unbalanced and inadequate development has become a prominent problem. We can effectively solve this problem only by putting this problem into the system for investigation and analysis, and doing a good job in overall planning and coordination.
Thirdly, adhering to systematic thinking is an inevitable requirement to deal with contradictions in economic and social development. According to materialist dialectics, contradiction itself exists as a system, and we must adhere to the concept of system to deal with contradictions. The contradictions presented in the economic and social development are more complex. Different contradictions are often intertwined and affect the whole body. Therefore, we should adhere to the concept of system and properly handle and solve them.
Q: Why is it said that adhering to the concept of system is the only way to enhance the overall synergy of development?
Dong Zhenhua: To achieve the integrity and synergy of development is to achieve systematic development. The so-called integrity of development is to realize the common development of various elements and fields within the development system, rather than just the development of a certain field; The so-called synergy of development means that all elements and fields within the development system should interact and promote each other, rather than fetter each other. From this point of view, development itself is a system, and to enhance the overall synergy of development is inseparable from adhering to and using the concept of system.
The integrity principle of the system tells us that the integrity of the system is not a simple superposition of various elements, but refers to the organic connection of various elements through a certain structure, so that the whole has a function that a single element does not have. In the process of development, we should not only focus on the development of a single field, but also adhere to the system concept, establish a sense of the overall situation, use the idea of "one game for the whole country", and enhance the integrity of development by strengthening top-level design and overall planning.
The principle of system synergy tells us that the coordination and collaboration between the various elements of the system form a pulling effect to promote the common progress, overall strengthening and common development of things. It is because of the coordination of elements that the system can develop in a positive direction. If the elements cannot be well coordinated, or even conflict with each other, the system will be in a disordered state. To enhance the synergy of development, we need to adhere to the system concept, fully understand the relevance and synergy of various fields in the development process, do a good job in overall coordination, handle the relationship between key and non key points, and prevent one-on-one; At the same time, we should also adhere to the awareness of problems, be good at finding problems, and then make up for weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, so as to finally realize the coordination, coexistence, mutual promotion and common progress of development in all fields.
Q: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, what successful experience has our party accumulated in adhering to and applying the concept of system?
Dong Zhenhua: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has adhered to the systematic planning and coordinated promotion of various undertakings of the party and the country, formed a series of new layouts and new strategies according to new practical needs, and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to achieve historic achievements. In this process, the system concept is a basic idea and working method. By adhering to the concept of system, we have accumulated some successful experiences, mainly as follows:
Adhering to the concept of system has formed the overall layout of "Five in One". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we have formed a "five in one" overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics for economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization. All aspects of the "Five in One" are interrelated, mutually reinforcing and inseparable, and jointly build the overall situation of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Under the guidance of the overall layout of "Five in One", we can better achieve the goal of focusing on economic construction and promoting coordination in all aspects of economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization. In particular, we have incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout. Through the use of systematic thinking, we have effectively solved the problem of pollution prevention and control in the overall economic development and environmental protection, formed a new way of green development, and realized the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
Adhering to the concept of system has formed the strategic layout of "four comprehensiveness". After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have formed the "four comprehensive" strategic layout of "building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, deepening reform in an all-round way, governing the country in an all-round way, and governing the party strictly in an all-round way". The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China developed this strategic layout into "building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, deepening reform in an all-round way, governing the country in an all-round way, and governing the party strictly in an all-round way". The "four comprehensive" strategic layout is an inevitable choice for our party to stand at a new historical starting point and strengthen the systematic, holistic and coordinated development and governance. This strategic layout itself is a system, which has both strategic objectives and strategic initiatives, and each "comprehensive" has a close internal logic. The "four comprehensive" strategic layout clearly reflects the systematic thinking, and is the successful experience that we adhere to the system concept to promote the cause of the Party and the country.
Adhere to the concept of system, calmly and forcefully respond to various risks and challenges. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has taken precautions and made strategic plans, adhered to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, focused on preventing and resolving major risks, maintained sustained and healthy economic development and overall social stability, and made a decisive decision to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and win the great victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era The realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation provides a strong guarantee.
Q: There is a lot of systematic work ahead of us to promote economic and social development during the 14th Five Year Plan period. How should we highlight the concept of systems, adhere to the "one game for the whole country", and comprehensively promote modernization in all fields and aspects?
Dong Zhenhua: It is mainly to deal with the following pairs of relationships: First, deal with the relationship between overall promotion and key breakthroughs. To promote modernization, on the one hand, we should do a good job of overall promotion, and strive to achieve the optimization of the system structure by strengthening the overall concept and establishing the idea of "the whole country playing a chess game". On the other hand, we should do a good job in making breakthroughs in key areas, find breakthroughs in the modernization drive, carry out point to area, and drive the overall development through point to point breakthroughs. Specifically, during the "14th Five Year Plan" period, we should promote the overall layout of "Five in One" and the strategic layout of "Four Comprehensions" in a coordinated manner, focus on solving the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development, firmly establish the concept of coordinated development, and promote the common prosperity of all people. At the same time, we should still focus on economic development and vigorously liberate and develop the productive forces.
The second is to handle the relationship between overall planning and long-term success. In a big country like China, the modernization of more than one billion people is an unprecedented great cause, but also a very arduous and long-term cause. We must make an overall plan. At the same time, the openness of the system makes the system always in a dynamic process. To adhere to the system concept, we must persist for a long time. During the "14th Five Year Plan" period, on the one hand, we should make reasonable long-term plans and forward-looking strategies, develop timetables and roadmaps, and steadily achieve various development goals on the basis of historical realities and future needs of development. On the other hand, we should draw a blueprint to the end, one after another, ensure the consistency of the policy, and make continuous development and progress in the continuous struggle with the realm of "success does not have to be in me" and the responsibility of "success must have me".
The third is to properly handle the relationship between strengthening top-level design and focusing on implementation. Promoting the socialist modernization drive is a complex and systematic project. It needs to do a good job in top-level design, strengthen the relevance, systematicness and feasibility study of all links, achieve overall consideration, comprehensive demonstration, scientific decision-making, and pay more attention to mutual promotion and positive interaction between various fields. The so-called "one deployment, nine implementation", no matter how good the planning and design can not be implemented. In the process of promoting socialist modernization, we should carry forward the spirit of nailing nails, adhere to hard work, and refrain from empty talk, so as to truly implement the long-term plans of the Party Central Committee.
