Socialist modernization in the PRC in the decisions of the October Plenum of the CPC Central Committee

Socialist modernization in the PRC in the decisions of the October Plenum of the CPC Central Committee

Against the backdrop of major international events, with which this autumn is rich, somehow internal problems fade into the background. Each country and group of countries have their own. But if the collective West is fighting together in a coronavirus hysteria, thickening the paint without paying attention to the growing protests of its own population, and in the United States, factors of deepening social, including racial division and electoral confrontation, then China has long removed the viral topic from the agenda. Complex dynamics of global events, the leitmotif of which for the Celestial Empire is the deepening confrontation with the United States, does not become an obstacle to progressive internal development, the border of which this year is the completion of the XIII five-year plan and the launch from January 2021 next year, XIV five-year plan. A distinctive feature of the current change of five-year plans should be considered the fact, What's on 2021 the year is the century of the creation of the CCP. Plans for the construction of a middle-income society in the country were timed to this date. (or, in PDA terminology, "Average prosperity"), constituting the first stage of the country's strategic development, proclaimed by Xi Jinping in the context of the concept of "the great revival of the Chinese nation".

This circle of questions - a report on the fulfillment of this task and the formulation of subsequent ones - was devoted to the next plenum of the Central Committee of the CPC, held in Beijing since 26 by 29 October. And recently, its main results were published in the Chinese media.. Since in our country two generations have already grown up and entered life, unfamiliar with the style of the largest leading party events of this level, which were carried out in a similar way in the USSR, it makes sense to offer the reader a synopsis of the main milestones of the report, with which Xi Jinping spoke. And which formed the basis for the decisions of the plenum. It is equally important for us, than for the Chinese, for it is no secret that the popularity of the ideas of social justice and socialism has grown rapidly among Russian youth., and, respectively, Soviet historical experience. Join this tradition, preserved for us thanks to China, whose rise, what the Chinese leaders themselves do not hide, closely related to the ideas and legacy of the Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia, it is important for our country for the sake of further strategic rapprochement between Moscow and Beijing, and in order to understand their own historical perspectives. When are we before, finally, we will live and come out of the prolonged depression, caused by the collapse of the USSR, this, without a doubt, will encourage us to be grateful to the Chinese comrades who have preserved this heritage.

And I would especially like to emphasize here the absolute unjustification of the favorite speculations of the Russian bourgeois media about, that the PRC allegedly underwent a "capitalist restoration". The falsity of this thesis is easily proved by two facts.. the, that in China there was no large-scale privatization and the absolute dominance of public forms of ownership of the means of production remained; and since coming to 2012 the year Xi Jinping came to power, its share in the overall structure of the economy only grew. And also those, that private companies, including the renowned high-tech sector, At first, have grown not instead of and not in place of state and people's enterprises, and next to them. That is, due to the initiative and competence of their founders, owners and management, and not by the "big hapk" and the appropriation of public property by the nouveau riches. Secondly, the formation of the private sector took place under strict party control, in conditions, in fact, compulsory membership of entrepreneurs in the CPC, and this significantly limited both the ambitions and appetites of the nascent business, and ways to satisfy them, influencing also the predominance of private industrial companies, production profile. As recorded in the materials of the plenum, the private sector is better than the public sector in reallocating resources, and this position migrated into them straight from the report of Xi Jinping at the XIX Congress of the CPC in October 2017 of the year.

The first part is ascertaining, it is connected precisely with ideology. This is how it sounds in the materials of the plenum.. "ATHolding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, guided by the teachings of Marxism-Leninism, ideas of Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping's theory, important ideas of the concept of "three offices", the concept of scientific development and Xi Jinping's ideas about socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era ... " Let's recall the experience of our Communist Party. Unlike I. AT. Stalin, emphatically retained continuity until the 19th Congress of the CPSU, where he is 1952 year repeated Lenin's thesis about the originality of the revolutions in the East of January 1923 of the year, Khrushchev first of all "debunked" Stalin, initiating the leapfrog of redrawing the party-state course with each new leader. And here is the Chinese continuity, included in the materials of the plenum from the Party Charter as amended by the XIX Congress of the CPC, stretched through five rotations with the transfer of power to the next generation of leaders. Mao, Dan and Xi are pointed directly, and as for Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, then their contribution is packaged in the concepts of "three representations" and "scientific development", respectively, on the basis of which their rule was carried out. And all this with reference to Marxism-Leninism and the communist perspective, again from the materials of the 19th Congress of the CPC. Not a single stage is thrown away! How commitment and loyalty to the general goal is maintained.

Further. The plenary session stated the unswerving adherence to the course of reforms and openness as a basic concept, which made it possible to simultaneously and quickly cope with the epidemic, and ensure the resumption of socio-economic development. Major achievements in the context of the milestone 2021 the year proclaimed the elimination of poverty and taking control of the environmental situation, previously very difficult, especially in numerous metropolitan areas. These results, as follows from the materials of the Central Committee forum, achieved by strengthening the leadership of the CPC and the socialist system, state and party discipline, as well as the reform of the public administration system. It's hard not to see impressive anti-corruption successes behind this, facilitated by the coordination of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CKPD) with the ministry of control, whose powers were streamlined and expanded within the framework of administrative reform.

Here are the concrete results in the socio-economic sphere, fixed by the plenum against the background of stabilization and ongoing optimization of the economy:

  • GDP c 2020 year is expected to be higher 100 trillion yuan (about 15,25 trillion dollars);
  • almost 56 million people, mostly in rural areas (here should be added, that the epicenter of this work was the least developed and most problematic regions, in which, as seen in the example of Xinjiang and Tibet, the scale of lifting out of poverty is significantly higher than the national average);
  • at the level 650 million tons for the fifth year in a row, the volume of grain production has been stable;
  • the standard of living has noticeably increased in cities and towns, where the average annual growth rate of new jobs exceeded 60 million;
  • the most powerful social security system has been built: coverage of medical insurance - 1,3 billion people, pension insurance - about 1 billion, and this is without any manipulation of the retirement age, which remains at the level, inherited from the USSR, — 60 years for men and 55 for women. There is something to think about in comparing "wild" capitalism with progressively developing socialism? While, that in the materials of the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPC it is said about the achievement of socialism in the PRC so far only one of the lowest stages of development.

Disadvantages are not hidden either, which include interregional unevenness and underdevelopment, the complexity of administrative and sectoral reform, lagging behind the needs of developing innovative potential, too slow strengthening of the foundation of agricultural production. Environmental issues are also discussed separately., but not in the context of carbon tax strangling businesses, as proposed in Russia by Chubais and his liberal henchmen, and for development. Therefore, it is stated, that emissions will increase, then they stabilize and only after that they will begin to decline as the industry reaches a certain technological level. Estimated timeline for achieving "carbon neutrality", that is not stopping emissions, and bringing their volumes in accordance with the absorptive resource of the environment, pushed back to 2060 year. Development comes first, and this is unaware of those, who sets out to cut the domestic industry in an ecological way. Moreover, China is not alone here: approximately the same procedure for the notorious "greening" is now articulated in the United States. Moreover, on the basis of a bipartisan consensus.

“The participants in the plenum believe, that now and in the future, China's development will still be in a period of important strategic opportunities, however, there have been new changes in opportunities and challenges. The modern world is undergoing unprecedented changes in a century, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformations is gaining momentum, the balance of international forces is radically changing. Peace and development are still the main theme of the era ", - this is how the description of the current stage of global development sounds in the decisions of the plenum, from which the priorities set by the forum follow:

  • a combination of plans for a new five-year plan with a strategy of socialist modernization to 2035 year (this is an intermediate line between 2021 year and 2049, when the second of the "two centuries" will be celebrated - the centenary of the creation of the PRC, to which the task of turning the country into a developed modern socialist power is set). Special attention in these plans, along with material production and technological progress, allocated to health care, education and culture;
  • the focus is on further optimization of the economy based on the priority development of the domestic market; and this is understandable: in Beijing are disillusioned and well understood, that confrontation with the United States and the West will last for a long time in any electoral situation in the White House and Congress;
  • innovative modernization of industrial and agricultural production, the formation of an open market economy of an order of magnitude higher, than today, based on maximum dynamism and creativity of market entities;
  • unconditional condition for any transformations: continuous improvement of defense and security, as a public, and the state;
  • formation of a new development structure for the needs of the domestic market; the times of the "world factory" are irrevocably a thing of the past, in the West, especially in the USA, regardless of the party affiliation of power, industrial chains will go back. "New industrialization" is coming, in which China will no longer have the advantages of the last quarter of the last century; understanding this prompts the adoption of appropriate decisions today;
  • a separate important task is to optimize the spatial development of the PRC; coordinating ongoing urbanization with the alignment of regional strategies (in USSR, I remember, it was called "territorial-production complexes");
  • regarding international cooperation, considerable attention is paid to the promotion of the "Belt and Road" project, in which, along with the infrastructure component, significant attention is paid to the development of cultural influence, called "soft power".

We emphasize again: we are talking specifically about the synopsis, literally thesis presentation of the materials of the plenum, based on the report, with which Xi Jinping spoke. Even these theses show, what should and can be the dynamics of development, able to respond flexibly and effectively to the growing and increasingly complex challenges of our time. China today has a lot to learn from this.. And do it, contrary to some speculation, not at all shameful, for any long journey begins with the first step. We remember well, that this step was taken by the newly emerging People's China with the support of the USSR. Let times and specific historical interiors change. But the friendship of our two countries and the regular exchange of development experience, including historical, an indispensable condition for strengthening sovereignty and promoting national interests in the difficult situation that has befallen our lot today.
