The "13th Five-Year Plan" is about to come to a successful conclusion. Over the past five years, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has united and led the people across the country to effectively and orderly resolve the problems of unbalanced and inadequate development, calmly and calmly dealt with the complex situation of apparently rising external challenges, and resolutely and decisively fought the severe impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. , Resolutely move towards the set goals and tasks. The "Thirteenth Five-Year" plan was implemented smoothly, the main indicators will be achieved as planned, major strategic tasks and 165 major engineering projects have been fully implemented and effective, and the goals and tasks identified in the plan will soon be successfully completed. By the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's GDP will exceed 100 trillion yuan.

Behind such achievements is a great course of five years after five years. In every five-year plan and plan, the state has to identify more than a hundred major engineering projects as the locomotive for driving strong economic development. A major engineering project has become a resounding note for the booming Chinese economy!

From zero breakthrough to the world's most important project witnessed the overall strength jump

In Golden Autumn China, the four-in-one world-class cross-sea channel cluster project of "tunnels, islands, bridges, and underwater intercommunication" on Lingdingyang is stepping up the construction of the deep channel.

Two years ago, on October 24, 2018, the 55-kilometer longest cross-sea bridge in the world, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, was officially opened to traffic. This "super project" spanning the Lingdingyang waters has created multiple "world's best" from the moment of construction.

The rivers and rivers are silent, and the road is full of historical changes. The rivers across the land of China have witnessed the great changes of the Chinese Bridge. 61 years ago, on October 15, 1957, a huge project with a nationwide effort-the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and the "First Bridge on the Yangtze River in Ten Thousand Miles" was born. Since then, "one bridge spans north and south, and the sky becomes a thoroughfare." . The dream of the Chinese for thousands of years to build bridges on the Yangtze River has been realized.

From the first Wanli Yangtze River Bridge built with the assistance of the Soviet Union, to the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge designed and built by my country, to the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world built by ourselves, from the first five-year plan to the thirteenth five-year plan. During the period, China's engineering construction from the "zero" breakthrough to the struggle to reach the top of the world.

Standing at the end of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", looking back on the past, I am extremely emotional.

Changchun No. 1 Automobile Plant, Sanmenxia Hydropower Station, Baotou Iron and Steel Company, Shenyang No. 1 Machine Tool Plant, Luoyang Tractor Manufacturing Plant, North China Pharmaceutical Plant... In the first five-year plan opened in 1953, 156 heavy industry-based projects, Laid a preliminary foundation for socialist industrialization.

The "Tianwen No. 1" that is aspiring to the sky, the "Hualong No. 1" that travels through the sea, the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway, the China-Europe Railway, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge... From deep sea space station to quantum communication, from 5G to high-speed railway, "Ten In the Three-Five-Year Plan, 165 major engineering projects highlight the strategic and traction nature, and represent the direction of world technological development and industrial transformation.

From 156 items in the "First Five-Year Plan" to 165 items in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", two five-year, two groups of major engineering projects reflect the historical changes in a country. In this long historical river spanning more than half a century, from bridges to water conservancy, from energy to transportation, a number of major engineering projects that have attracted the attention of the world stand on the land of China, not only recording the rise of an economic power, but also witnessing This has led to a leap in China’s overall strength.

The competitiveness of a country is largely reflected in the manufacturing level, of which major projects are particularly critical. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, my country's economic and social development has achieved world-renowned achievements. Among them are the completion of major projects. The C919 large passenger plane flew into the blue sky, the main works of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge were completed, and the Fuxing high-speed rail galloped across the land of China...Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a series of major projects have appeared splendidly, making people proud and admiring the world.

Guided by the five-year plan and plan, and guided by major engineering projects, my country's economic and social development has achieved all-round and groundbreaking historical achievements, and deep-level and fundamental historical changes have taken place, which is a new journey for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. Laid a solid foundation.

Economic strength has risen sharply. In 2019, the GDP reached 99.1 trillion yuan, accounting for 16% of the global economy, and its contribution to world economic growth reached about 30%; the per capita GDP exceeded 10,000 US dollars, and my country is stepping forward to the level of a high-income country Take a solid step; it is expected that the GDP at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period will exceed 100 trillion yuan.

Comprehensive strength has reached a new level. From 2016 to 2019, my country's total industrial added value increased from 24.54 trillion yuan to 31.71 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 5.9%, much higher than the world's industry average annual growth rate of 2.9% during the same period. In 2019, the added value of my country's manufacturing industry accounted for 28.1% of the global total, maintaining its position as the world's largest manufacturing country for 10 consecutive years. At present, my country is the only country in the world that has all the industrial categories listed in the United Nations Industrial Classification.

Five years after five years, 13 five-year plans and plans have condensed the struggle of the Chinese people from standing up, getting rich, and getting stronger under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

From follow-up to leading-the-big country heavy equipment to innovate and strengthen the country's ambition

Throughout my country’s 13 five-year plans and plans, the formulation of each plan and plan has its own specific era background, and the major engineering projects listed therein are also marked with a distinct era.

Along the long river of history, tracing the construction process of a major project from design to completion, you will not only marvel at the extraordinary and rapid changes of its achievements, but also discover the rich historical experience behind it: from following to leading, From receiving aid to independent R&D and construction, this is a path of China's self-reliance and independent innovation, demonstrating the power of China's innovation.

On June 23, 2020, my country used the "Long March 3B" carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to send the 55th global networking satellite, the last of Beidou-3, into space. With this satellite successfully entering orbit, the deployment of the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system constellation has been fully completed. This is another achievement made by my country's major projects in the aerospace field during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period.

Back in time 50 years ago, on April 24, 1970, my country's first artificial satellite "Dongfanghong-1" was successfully launched. The satellite orbits the earth for 114 minutes, broadcasting the music of "Dongfanghong" at a frequency of 20.009 megacycles, resounding through the vast sky of thousands of miles.

The "History of Ascension" of Chinese satellites is the epitome of the innovation leaps of major projects that have been "indomitable" from the First Five-Year Plan to the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan. In the boundless space, in the vast land, and in the deep sea, major projects are like the "seeds" of great changes, which are thriving and lead major fields to achieve historic leaps.

In 2019, at Shanghai Pudong Airport, 106 C919 large passenger planes soared into the sky and successfully completed the first flight mission. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people realized their dream of "domestic-made large aircraft." Before one Jiazi, four J-5 aircraft produced by the Shenyang Aircraft Factory flew over Tiananmen Square to complete the National Day Capital Parade. The birth of the jet fighter changed from "made in foreign countries" to "made in China."

At the foot of the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, the old and the new Beijing-Zhangjiakou railways cross over a century of time and space. From 35 kilometers per hour to 350 kilometers per hour, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou line has witnessed a huge leap in China's railways.

In June 2017, China's standard EMU "Fuxing" with completely independent intellectual property rights was officially launched in both directions on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail. In May 2019, a high-speed maglev test prototype with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour and a series of key core technologies successfully rolled off the production line... The speed and passion of China's high-speed rail has attracted the attention of the world and has become a shining "Chinese business card".

Also in June 2017, in the waters of the Western Pacific, the "Jiaolong" manned submersible left the "Xiangyanghong 09" scientific research ship and entered the water for the final dive of China Oceania 38 voyage.

From the "two bombs and one satellite" to the "Chang'e" lunar exploration, from the "Long Five" flying to the "Jiaolong" entering the sea, from the advent of the optical quantum computer to the FAST "sky-watching giant eye" searching for cosmic signals tens of billions of light years away... From the First Five-Year Plan to the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, a major project in the field of science and technology, as a "big power tool", not only demonstrates the new height and level of China's manufacturing, but also refreshes the progress bar of China's independent innovation.

From digestion and absorption to independent innovation, from imitation and follow-up to leading the way, China's speed travels not only through time and space, but also a huge leap in technological innovation capabilities.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has created more than 400 new patents, many of which are "the best in the world"; nearly 1.2 million standard parts, 98% of the structure and system parts of the amphibious aircraft AG600 are all developed and provided in China; the Fuxing high-speed rail includes new Group breakthroughs in many key technologies, such as materials, advanced power, and computers... Almost every major project has set many "world firsts". They are a concentrated expression of China’s increasing technological innovation capabilities, and are a major country stepping through its core key technologies. A true portrayal of. The cutting-edge technology peaks on the plateau of innovation weave a magnificent vision of China's innovation in the new era.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country has achieved fruitful results in the construction of an innovative country, ranking second in the world in total R&D expenditure, and steadily increasing the labor productivity and contribution rate of scientific and technological progress. International patent applications have been submitted through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Quantum ranks first in the world, and a large number of major scientific and technological achievements have been made in the fields of manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, supercomputing, and quantum communications.

Create a miracle of development with the power of the whole country. Brilliant achievements highlight the advantages of China's governance

From scratch, from being to being strong, what is the password for a major engineering project in China to achieve an innovative leap?

The foreign media and people of insight commented like this: There is no country in the world like China that has been persistently and advancing with the times to compile implementation plans and plans to lead national economic and social development. This is a magic weapon to create the "Chinese model" and create the "Chinese miracle", and it has also become the code to interpret the miracle of China's development.

Proceeding from China’s reality, choose a path that is conducive to China’s development. Being good at making strategic plans is an important magic weapon for the Chinese Communists to win. Research by the research team of the Institute of Economics of the Academy of Social Sciences pointed out that the "five-year plan" has become an effective system for governing the country with Chinese characteristics. It is a tool that our party has gradually mastered after 70 years of active and persevering exploration. The persistence and improvement of the "Five-Year Plan" has become an important part of upholding and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.

Guided by five-year plans, nearly two thousand major projects have stood in China, casting the pillars of China's economy. This not only records the hardships and brilliance behind 70 years of extraordinary achievements, but also becomes a practical proof of the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Only by leveraging the advantages of the nationwide system and concentrating on major tasks can one project after another move from blueprint to reality.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, behind the successful completion of every major project, all come from the comprehensive efforts of scientific research, industry, capital, and talents, and all are filled with the hardships of exploration. Every major project is a comprehensive and systematic construction and advancement. It is the culmination of the accumulation of the "China Plan" and the strong voice of the times played by concentrated efforts to do major events.

China, which started its industrial construction from the "First Five-Year Plan", is poor and white. What lies ahead is the question of how a backward socialist country will move toward modernization.

China, where the "13th Five-Year Plan" is about to be successfully concluded, is holding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and exploring a glorious path for developing countries to modernize. my country is about to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realize the first century-old goal.

Entering the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country will embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and march towards the second centenary goal. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Party will study recommendations on formulating the fourteenth five-year plan for national economic and social development and long-term goals for 2035.

Standing at a new starting point, we look back on the past, full of enthusiasm, look forward to the future, and full of confidence. Great times create great projects, and great projects decorate great times. More major engineering projects will be laid out in the land of China, with major engineering projects as the pillars, accelerate the pace of innovation, and strive for a vigorous attitude. The vigorous and innovative China will achieve a new leap on its dream journey and move towards a more brilliant future. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
