補(bǔ)短板
習(xí)近平指出,中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的主要矛盾在新時(shí)代發(fā)生了變化,需要新的發(fā)展方略。當(dāng)前中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的戰(zhàn)略目標(biāo)是全面建成小康社會(huì),戰(zhàn)略重點(diǎn)在于補(bǔ)齊短板,扶貧工作則是其中最薄弱的領(lǐng)域。
“補(bǔ)短板”思維是理解習(xí)近平扶貧工作思維方法的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵。早在2004年時(shí),時(shí)任浙江省委書(shū)記的習(xí)近平就在省域?qū)用嫣岢觥把a(bǔ)短板”的思維方法:“全面建成小康社會(huì),強(qiáng)調(diào)的不僅是‘小康’,而且更重要也更難做到的是‘全面’?!】怠v的是發(fā)展水平,‘全面’講的是發(fā)展的平衡性、協(xié)調(diào)性、可持續(xù)性。”
“補(bǔ)短板”的發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略是對(duì)馬克思主義基本立場(chǎng)的堅(jiān)守,同樣也是對(duì)中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義的創(chuàng)新和發(fā)展。習(xí)近平指出,“小康不小康,關(guān)鍵看老鄉(xiāng)”,“在發(fā)展中補(bǔ)齊民生短板、促進(jìn)社會(huì)公平正義”,體現(xiàn)了他對(duì)于什么是發(fā)展,什么是小康社會(huì)的深刻思考。
Improving Areas of Weakness
As the principal issues influencing China's economic and social development have changed in the new era, Xi Jinping points out that the country needs a new strategy for development. To fulfill the strategic goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the strategic focus should be on improving areas of weakness, of which poverty alleviation is the weakest link.
Xi made a similar proposal for Zhejiang Province in 2004 when he was secretary of its provincial CPC committee. To build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the focus should be equally on "a moderately prosperous society" and "in all respects" - the latter being more important and more difficult to achieve. "A moderately prosperous society" represents a certain level of development, while "in all respects" extends that level of development to one that is balanced, coordinated and sustainable.
The idea of improving areas of weakness reflects a Marxist stance and contribution to the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Xi Jinping's vision on development and moderate prosperity is like this: Whether China has achieved prosperity will be judged by the conditions of the rural areas, and China will improve the weak links related to people's wellbeing and enhance social fairness and justice through development.
