Enabling the People to Have a Stronger Sense of Having Benefitted

The 10th meeting of the Central Leading Group on Comprehensively Expanding In-depth Reform, chaired by Xi Jinping, was held on February 27, 2015. At this meeting, he pointed out that the various tasks of reform had to be scientifically planned, and that the value of reform had to be put on full display so that the people had a stronger sense of having benefitted. 

A "sense of having benefitted" is the sense of satisfaction that people derive from obtaining some material or non-material gains. "Enabling the people to have a stronger sense of having benefitted" means that they should not only "benefit" from the goals, prospects and anticipated development, but should also have actual "benefits" which they can see, own and allocate, and which will continue to be enhanced in the course of future development. A "sense of having benefitted" emphasizes actual objective "benefits", both material and non-material. This term made possible the use of measurable indicators of benefits obtained by the people; it was very positively received by them and became the most popular of the "ten most popular phrases" of 2015. 

The suggestion drive to "enable the people to have a stronger sense of having benefitted" demonstrates how, with Xi Jinping at its core, the Party Central Committee has been aware of its mission to serve the public and govern for the people ever since the 18th CPC National Congress. It demonstrates the concept of making the people the central focus of development; it demonstrates that society must be built on the fundamental principle of "built by all to be enjoyed by all", and it demonstrates the guiding value that the aim of reform and innovation is to improve the wellbeing of the people.
