Comprehensively understand and grasp the certainty of China's high-quality economic development (China's Economic Monopoly under the guidance of Xi Jinping's economic thought)

The world today is in chaos, the development environment is turbulent, and certainty is increasingly becoming a scarce resource for the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that in the face of a complex external environment, we must be confident, unswervingly do our own business well, unswervingly expand high-level opening up, focus on stabilizing employment, enterprises, markets, and expectations, and respond to various uncertainties with the certainty of high-quality development. The chaotic clouds are still calm. In recent years, my country's economic operation has withstood the pressure and made steady progress. New achievements have been made in high-quality development. China's modernization has been steadily advancing, becoming the main contributor and stable anchor of world economic growth.

The certainty of my country's development strategy ensures that China's economy always maintains a certain direction. Chinese-style modernization is a journey of hard work. For a long time, our Party has led all the people to promote modernization and guide economic and social development through medium- and long-term plans. Strategic goals and short-term goals have been superimposed on each other, and we insist on drawing a blueprint to the end. Our country has formulated and implemented 14 five-year plans (plans), and does not seek to achieve success in one battle, but works one after another, with sesame seeds blooming step by step. In contrast, some Western countries are volatile in their national policies, turning their hands into clouds, turning their hands into rain, and even turning their hands into "reversal" in history: they were advocates of economic globalization in the past, but now they pursue their own priority and self-enclosure; in the past, they advocated high-profile response to global climate change, but now they withdraw from the Paris Agreement regardless of their commitments to developing countries. China's development strategy has remained stable for a long time and has been continuously promoted. China's future is completely predictable.

The certainty of my country's macro policies ensures that China's economy has the conditions and is stable and stable operation. No matter how complex and changeable the external environment is, China's macroeconomic policies have always adhered to the general tone of work of seeking progress while maintaining stability in fiscal, monetary and other macroeconomic policies, and timely and appropriately adjust the policy intensity and direction according to changes in the situation. Macropolitical adjustments focus on long-term and strategic considerations, rather than just looking at immediate short-term and local interests. In contrast, some Western countries have obvious tendency to short-sighted macro policies, and policy continuity is often interrupted by the election cycle. After new political parties come to power, they often overturn the economic policies of the previous government and "turn the cakes" back and forth. In contrast, China's macro policies are not swayed by any special interest groups. They are both credible and reliable, and the market can completely take a "peace of mind".

The certainty of my country's market space ensures that China's economy has huge potential for future growth. China's economy is a vast ocean, with a population of more than 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of more than 400 million, and is rapidly growing into the world's largest consumer market. China has the most complete industrial system in the world, and the scale economic effect of the super-large market is obvious, making it the largest test site for innovative technologies in the world. For example, leveraging the advantages of a wide range of application scenarios and massive data, my country is comparable to the United States in the field of artificial intelligence, resulting in excellent companies such as DeepSeek with leading technology and lower development costs. Compared with Western developed countries, China's urbanization rate is still a gap of more than ten percentage points, and nearly 300 million agricultural migrant population is accelerating urbanization. In the future, investment in infrastructure, people's livelihood and other fields still has great potential. The future growth space for the Chinese market is still huge. Believing in China means believing in tomorrow, and investing in China means investing in the future.

The certainty of my country's development resilience ensures that China's economy can withstand the stormy waves. China's economy is a giant ship, not a small sampan, with strong development resilience, great potential, sufficient vitality, and sufficient ability and confidence to deal with internal and external risks and challenges. In recent years, the United States has built a "small courtyard and high wall" in technology, suppressing high-tech enterprises, restricting the export of high-tech products to my country, and trying to lock my country in the middle and low end of the global innovation chain value chain. However, a few years have passed, my country's innovation achievements have frequently emerged, and it has surpassed some key core technologies. Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the United States' abuse of so-called "reciprocal tariffs", we have dared and good at fighting, and have taken multiple measures to help enterprises affected by tariffs. We have achieved economic growth of 5.3% in the first half of the year, enduring the dual pressure of trade protectionism and contraction of foreign demand. We use our actions to show the world that the giant ship of China is a loud "economic aircraft carrier" that cannot be blown down, crushed, or broken, and is unafraid of wind and rain.

The certainty of my country's investment environment ensures that China's economy has always been a fertile ground for investment and business development of all types of enterprises. China regards opening up to the outside world as its basic national policy, continues to optimize the first-class business environment in market-oriented, law-based and internationalized, and strives to ensure the treatment of foreign-invested nationals. A large number of foreign-invested enterprises regard deepening the Chinese market as their strategic choice. As of the end of 2024, foreign investors have invested and established more than 1.239 million enterprises in China, and the actual scale of foreign investment in my country has reached 20.6 trillion yuan. In particular, my country's society has maintained long-term stability and the level of rule of law has been continuously improved, and the legitimate rights and interests of all types of enterprises, including foreign-funded enterprises, have been effectively protected. In contrast, in some Western countries, social problems such as gun violence and racial discrimination are prominent, and basic social stability cannot be guaranteed, and it is even more difficult to ensure the safety of investors' personal, property, etc. China has long been committed to creating a first-class business environment and effectively protecting investors' rights and interests. Now and in the future, it is a "safe haven" for investors at home and abroad to start their business with peace of mind and invest with confidence.
