Since Britain pioneered the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, mankind has gone through more than 200 years of industrialization. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, we have completed in just a few decades the industrialization process that took developed countries hundreds of years. The world marveled at the great achievements of our industrialization, and many foreign scholars also tried to crack the mystery. A review of China's industrialization process will find that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the decisive factor for the rapid industrialization.

The development experience of other countries shows that the successful industrialization of latecomer countries cannot be achieved without the ruling parties that stick to their original aspiration and have a strong sense of mission. Since its founding, the CPC has adhered to its original aspiration and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our Party has remained true to its founding mission and established the basic socialist system through socialist reform. We will press ahead with a great new revolution in reform and opening up and remove institutional obstacles that hinder the development of productive forces. In response to the severe test of economic and social development, we strengthened the Party's self-building, improved the governing ability, correctly handled the relations of reform, development and stability, and provided a fundamental guarantee for the smooth advancement of our industrialization.

Choosing the right path is the prerequisite for rapid industrialization. Due to different resource endowments and historical traditions, countries have different paths to industrialization. Whether they can choose the path of industrialization suited to their national conditions is a major test for the ruling parties of each country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our Party put forward the strategy of giving priority to the development of heavy industry and established an independent and relatively complete industrial system, laying a solid foundation for further industrialization. Since reform and opening up, our Party has earnestly summarized and drawn lessons from China's industrialization, given full play to China's comparative advantages in labor and resources, actively integrated into the global division of labor, and found a road to industrialization with Chinese characteristics through practice and exploration, which started China's rapid industrialization process.

To formulate national development strategies and plans with The Times is the guarantee for rapid industrialization. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our Party has formulated a national development strategy centering on China's development stage and realistic tasks. Whether it is the strategy of giving priority to heavy industry formulated at the beginning of the founding of New China, the "three-step" development strategy put forward after reform and opening-up, or the strategic arrangement for development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era put forward at the 19th National Congress of the CPC, they have all pointed out the direction and set up goals for China's industrialization development, and encouraged the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups in China to work hard to achieve industrialization.

A people-centered approach to development is fundamental to rapid industrialization. The people are the fundamental force to promote industrialization, and they also share the fruits of industrialization. Over the past 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our Party has put the people's interests first, united and led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in vigorously advancing industrialization, and vigorously promoted China's economic and social development and improved people's living standards. Today, the Engel coefficient of household consumption has fallen below 30 percent, the middle-income group has reached over 300 million, the average life expectancy has reached 76.7 years, the rural poor population has been reduced by 740 million, and the people have significantly increased their sense of gain, happiness and security. It is precisely because of our Party's insistence on relying on the people and for the people that our industrialization process has always received the support of the people and has made great achievements in just a few decades.

Planning development around solving the major social problems is the key to accelerating industrialization. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and especially since the beginning of reform and opening-up, our Party has correctly analyzed the principal contradiction facing Chinese society and proposed that we should take economic development as the central task to develop productive forces and realize industrialization. As we have entered the new era, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has been transformed, and it has become the principal contradiction between imbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life. This means that we need to further raise the level and level of industrialization, build a modern economy and promote high-quality economic development. To this end, we should vigorously implement the innovation-driven development strategy and strengthen independent research and development of key core technologies. We should persist in deepening reform across the board, try to break down the institutional disadvantages that hinder the development level and level of our industrialization, and promote the high-quality development of our industrialization.
