What are the historic opportunities and challenges in the important strategic opportunity period of China's development?

China's development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities, but there are new developments and changes in both opportunities and challenges. The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core made this important conclusion at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, which reflected the general secretary and the CPC Central Committee's clear understanding and scientific grasp of the situation and tasks, and provided a fundamental basis for our party and country to plan new development.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee emphasized: "The whole party should coordinate the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the overall situation of the world's unprecedented changes in the past century, deeply understand the new features and new requirements brought about by the major contradictions and changes in our society, and deeply understand the new contradictions and new challenges brought about by the complex international environment".

Extended data:

In view of the domestic situation, we should deeply understand the new characteristics and requirements brought about by the changes in the main contradictions in our society. The principal social contradiction is an objective reflection of the development level and stage of social productive forces. With the development of social productive forces and the upgrading of social development stage, the main contradiction of a society will inevitably change gradually.

In the early days of reform and opening up, the Party judged that "the contradiction between people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production" was the main contradiction in society, mainly based on the relatively backward productivity and weak foundation of economic and social development at that time. Since the reform and opening up, China's social productive forces have been continuously improved, creating an economic and social miracle that has attracted worldwide attention, and the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way is about to be realized.
