(2) The Important Connecting Role of the 15th Five-Year Plan Period

Realizing socialist modernization is a phased, progressive and continuous historical process that requires relentless efforts and sustained struggle. The 15th Five-Year Plan period is a crucial stage for consolidating the foundation and making all-out efforts. Shenzhen must accurately position itself in the overall development of the country and the province, consolidate and expand its advantages, break through bottleneck constraints, strengthen weak areas, forge ahead with determination, and strive to push economic and social development to a new level, making decisive progress in taking the lead in realizing socialist modernization.

(3) The Development Environment Faced by Shenzhen During the 15th Five-Year Plan Period

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China’s development environment will undergo profound and complex changes, with strategic opportunities coexisting with risks and challenges, and more uncertainties and unpredictable factors emerging. At the same time, China has a stable economic foundation, numerous advantages, strong resilience and great potential. The supporting conditions and basic trend of long-term sound development remain unchanged. The institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the advantages of a super-large market, a complete industrial system and abundant human resources have become more prominent. As a special economic zone, a pilot demonstration area of socialism with Chinese characteristics, a central city and a core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen embodies these national advantages more distinctly. It also boasts more comprehensive and stronger advantages, including a better geographical location and development foundation in the new development paradigm, leading advantages in large-scale and systematically improved industries, top-notch advantages in industrial science and technology innovation, first-mover advantages in emerging industries and future industries, a world-class market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment, advantages in reform and opening-up, and the advantages of a large and young population. Meanwhile, problems of unbalanced and inadequate development still exist. The matching degree between supply and demand needs to be improved, the transformation of old and new growth drivers has a long way to go, and there are still shortcomings in promoting high-quality development and balancing development and security.

Changes bring opportunities, and challenges inspire fighting spirit. The whole city must deeply understand the decisive significance of the “Two Establishments”, strengthen the “Four Consciousnesses”, enhance the “Four Matters of Confidence”, and uphold the “Two Upholds”. We must maintain strategic resolve, strengthen confidence in victory, actively identify, adapt to and shape changes, dare to fight and be good at fighting, overcome difficulties, combat risks and meet challenges with a proactive historical spirit, take action, work in a down-to-earth manner, blaze new trails and explore new areas, foster new drivers and advantages for development, strive to create a new situation in Shenzhen’s modernization drive, and make new and greater contributions to advancing the cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
