Scientific Outlook on Development

The Scientific Outlook on Development means putting people first and aiming at comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development.

To put people first, we should take people's interests as the starting point and foothold of all of our works, make continuous efforts to meet various needs of the people and promote an overall development of the people. To enact comprehensive development, we should quicken the pace of building socialist political and spiritual civilizations while we constantly improve the socialist market economy and maintain coordinated, healthy economic development, thus constructing a structure that features mutual improvement and common development of material, political and spiritual civilizations. To enact coordinated development, we should promote a balanced growth between urban and rural areas, different regions, economic and social undertakings, man and nature as well as domestic progress and opening-up to the world. To conduct sustainable development, we should foster a harmony between man and nature, tackle problems inherent in economic construction, population growth, resource utilization and environmental protection, and push society onto a path toward civilized development featuring growing production, an affluent lifestyle and a sound ecosystem.

科學發展觀

科學發展觀是堅持以人為本，全面、協調、可持續的發展觀。

以人為本，就是要把人民的利益作為一切工作的出發點和落腳點，不斷滿足人們的多方面需求和促進人的全面發展；全面，就是要在不斷完善社會主義市場經濟體制，保持經濟持續快速協調健康發展的同時，加快政治文明、精神文明的建設，形成物質文明、政治文明、精神文明相互促進、共同發展的格局；協調，就是要統籌城鄉協調發展、區域協調發展、經濟社會協調發展、國內發展和對外開放；可持續，就是要統籌人與自然和諧發展，處理好經濟建設、人口增長與資源利用、生態環境保護的關系，推動整個社會走上生產發展、生活富裕、生態良好的文明發展道路。
