Major Strategic Arrangements and Route Choices for Accelerating the Creation of a New Development Pattern

The construction of a novel development pattern is a remarkable achievement of contemporary Marxist political economics, and its theory and practice embody significant trend characteristics that necessitate a comprehension of numerous critical relationships. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the acceleration of the construction of a new development pattern that prioritizes domestic circulation, while boosting domestic and foreign circulation in tandem. This new development pattern has a robust theoretical foundation that is in line with Marxist political economy and a vital component of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics. The implementation of this new development pattern necessitates a “dual-drive” approach that relies on the supply side of innovation and the demand side to increase domestic demand. High-level institutional openness to the outside world is crucial to support both local and international dual circulation. The construction of a new development pattern aims to shift from unbalanced and insufficient development to balanced and sufficient development. The creation of a new development pattern is a strategic decision based on changes in China's development stage, environment, and conditions, and it is also the inevitable outcome of correctly understanding the laws of socialist construction.
