Five Concepts for Development

At its fifth plenary session from October 26 to 29, 2015, the 18th CPC Central Committee called for "development that is innovative, coordinated, green, open, and inclusive". Development as a process is evolving, and so are the environment, conditions and concept for development. These concepts for development did not emerge from thin air. They are based on thorough reviews of development experiences at home and abroad, and also an assessment of the major trends in development. They were developed in response to prominent conflicts and issues in China's development and embody the CPC's deeper understanding of the laws of development. 

The five new concepts represent a profound transformation in the way China pursues its development as they present a path that China must take to achieve a development that is effective, efficient, fair, and sustainable. Innovative development focuses on developing new drivers for China's development; coordinated development addresses imbalances in development; green development highlights the importance of harmony between man and nature; open development means pursuing development in the context of a closer relationship with the rest of the world; and inclusive development is aimed at promoting social equity and justice. 

The five concepts for development, in a very succinct manner, present the theories, course of action, and priorities for China's development in the 13th Five-year Plan period, and for many years to come, They will serve as guide to China as it pursues development in all respects with its fundamental and long-term goals. The five concepts form an integral whole with mutually complementing components, and the development process would suffer serious harm if any of them is not properly managed.

五大發展理念

2015年10月26日至29日，中共十八屆五中全會，首次提出了“創新、協調、綠色、開放、共享”的五大發展理念。發展是一個不斷變化的進程，發展環境不會一成不變，發展條件不會一成不變，發展理念自然也不會一成不變。創新、協調、綠色、開放、共享的發展理念不是憑空得來的，而是在深刻總結國內外發展經驗教訓、分析國內外發展大勢的基礎上形成的，也是針對我國發展中的突出矛盾和問題提出來的，集中反映了中國共產黨對我國發展規律的新認識。新發展理念，深刻揭示了實現更高質量、更有效率、更加公平、更可持續發展的必由之路，是關系我國發展全局的一場深刻變革。創新發展注重的是解決中國發展的動力問題，協調發展注重的是解決中國發展中的不平衡問題，綠色發展注重的是解決人與自然和諧相處的問題，開放發展注重的是解決中國發展內外聯動的問題，共享發展注重的是解決社會公平正義問題。

五大發展理念，集中體現了中國“十三五”乃至更長時期的發展思路、發展方向、發展著力點，是管全局、管根本、管長遠的導向。五大發展理念相互貫通、相互促進，是具有內在聯系的集合體，哪一個發展理念貫徹不到位，發展進程都會受到影響。
