Grounding our efforts in the new development stage, applying the new development philosophy, and creating a new development dynamic are significant strategic judgments and choices made by the Party Central Committee, with General Secretary Xi Jinping at its core. These decisions were made to implement the national rejuvenation strategy within a wider context of the once-in-a-century changes taking place in the world, to elevate China’s economic development level, and to carve out new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition.

Xi Jinping has profoundly expounded on the substantial significance, rich implications, and practical requirements of understanding the new development stage, implementing the new development philosophy, and establishing a new development representative dynamic. He has clarified China’s historical juncture in development, the guiding principles of modernization, and the path choices for economic modernization. This reflects our Party’s fresh understanding of the laws of China’s economic development and enriches and develops the political economy of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Xi Jinping’s important statements on understanding the new development stage, implementing the new development philosophy, and establishing a new development dynamic are a vital part of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. They hold significant guiding value for promoting high-quality economic and social development in our country, for fully building a modern socialist country, and for realizing the Chinese Dream of National Rejuvenation.

To assist officials and the public in deeply studying Xi Jinping’s important statements, we have compiled his related statements into this current volume.

This volume includes 72 manuscripts by Xi Jinping on understanding the new development stage, implementing the new development philosophy, and establishing a new development dynamic since the 18th CPC National Congress, some of which are being published here for the first time.
