It is necessary to analyze the current economic development in China from a dialectical approach and try to keep a balance between the overall strategy and specific tactics.
Strategically speaking, China needs to focus on the general picture, stay confident about its economy, and believe that small setbacks are only temporary.
As for specific tactics, China should always calculate the potential risks, prepare for the worst and make plans in advance in accordance with the right approaches so as to ensure the long-term stability of its economy.
It should be noted that China has secured progress in its economic development in the first three quarters.
Major economic indicators remained within a reasonable range in the first ten months, yet some fluctuated to some extent, indicating that the Chinese economy is faced with downward pressure.
Globally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lowered its world economic growth forecast for five consecutive times this year.
In the face of complex internal and external environment, China must effectively guard against major risks, focus on its problems, goals and results, and continue to apply reform and opening up so as to tackle the problems in development one by one and step by step.
China should focus on solving prominent issues. To implement macro-control based on local conditions, the priority is to accurately identify potential risks and eliminate them little by little.
For example, the common problem found in all regions lies in the insufficiency of effective demand. However, the same problem is caused by various reasons in different regions, such as weak manufacturing and private investment, sluggish consumption, especially in rural areas, and poor implementation of capacity relocation.
In this regard, regions should make clear their main targets and priorities of work, adopt different policies, allocate resources, and act timely and accordingly.
China needs to fill the gap and address inadequacies in accomplishing the regional tasks and targets for the year.
The annual plans for economic and social development of, as solemn commitment to the people that is legally binding, require all regions to make great efforts to fulfill the goals.
If faced with increasing financial pressure and striking imbalance between revenue and expenditure, the local government should step up their efforts in optimizing the business environment to promote the production and operation of manufacturing enterprises.
To guarantee the supply of important commodities that affect people’s living standards and stabilize prices, the government must break down the tasks and evaluate how well they are achieved separately.
Only by filling the gap responsibly and turning weakness into motives can the work concerning stabilizing employment, finance, foreign trade, foreign investment, domestic investment and market expectations be solidly accomplished.
China must discard formalism and bureaucracy and only concentrate on making solid achievements.
All regions need to make actual efforts, which is not an easy thing to do, to deepen supply-side structural reform, unswervingly fight the three tough battles of preventing and defusing financial risks, targeted poverty alleviation and pollution control.
In some places, the officials spoke a lot about structural deleveraging to keep leverage ratios in major sectors under control, yet when implementing it, they tend to be conservative and reserved.
Besides, some regions have made ambitious plans to develop key core technologies, but they tried little to make it easier to approve the projects and introduce talents.
China must focus on its own business and make use of an effective mechanism to push relevant departments to complete the tasks and ensure the steady growth of major economic indicators.
As 2019 draws to a close, China must remain optimistic about its economy and work harder to achieve better economic performance.
Chinese officials and cadres at all levels should be aware that GDP is not the only standard in measuring economic development, but it doesn’t mean that it is not important to fight for better GDP data. Instead, it means securing a more comprehensive and high-quality development.
The burden that falls on the government is heavier and all officials should bear their own responsibilities and fulfill the targets.
Under the centralized and unified leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the country, along with the concerted efforts from all its people, will be able to bring into full play the strengths of the socialist system and the allocation of resources in the market economy, so as to lay a more solid foundation for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020.
确保中国经济航船行稳致远

看待当前的中国经济发展，需要坚持辩证法的观点，稳妥处理战略与战术的关系。战略上，观全局、察大势，信心满满，保持定力，一切前进中的困难不过是“纸老虎”，总体上看好、看多中国经济。但在战术层面，又必须时刻居安思危、未雨绸缪，树立起风险意识与底线思维，坚持正确工作方法，确保中国经济航船行稳致远。
应当看到，在前三季度稳中有进基础上，10月份主要经济数据继续处于合理区间，但部分指标出现了一定波动，经济面临下行风险压力。从国际情况看，今年以来，国际货币基金组织连续5次下调世界经济增长预期。面对错综复杂的内外部环境，我们要有效防范化解重大风险，坚持问题、目标、结果导向，运用改革开放的办法解决发展中的困难和问题，一步步攻坚克难，一招招克敌制胜。
把解决突出问题作为工作重点。因地制宜落实宏观调控，第一位的就是要精准识别风险隐患点，逐个排除、一一击破。比如，各地共性问题主要是有效需求不足，但有的是制造业和民间投资不力，有的是消费尤其是农村消费不振，还有的是对转移的产能“接招”不够。对此要明确主攻方向、有所侧重，科学组合政策、配置火力，及时对症下药、靶向施策。
对照全年目标任务找差距、补短板。各地的经济和社会发展年度计划，是对人民群众的庄严承诺，是有法律刚性约束力的，必须尽全力实现目标、完成任务。比如有的地方基层财政压力增大、收支矛盾凸显，就要加快改善营商环境，力促制造业企业安心专心做好生产经营。再如对影响民生的重要商品的保障，必须层层分解任务、层层对表考核，不遗余力做好保供稳价。只有把差距落实为责任、把短板转化为动力，“六稳”工作才能不落空、不打折。
力戒形式主义、官僚主义，以工作实效作为衡量标准。无论深入推进供给侧结构性改革，还是坚定不移打好三大攻坚战，都贵在一个“实”字，也都难在一个“实”字。比如，有的地方结构性去杠杆喊得震天响，但落到属地责任又顾虑多、留一手；有的地方关键核心技术攻关方案做得漂亮，可在项目审批、人才引进上“关卡”还不少。集中精力办好自己的事，必须利用倒逼机制，一件件压茬推进，确保主要经济指标实现稳中有进。
为官避事平生耻。年终将近，做好当前经济工作，既要有战略上的乐观自信，又要有战术上的只争朝夕、奋力拼搏。各级领导干部都要清醒认识到，“不简单以GDP论英雄”不等于“不要GDP”，而是强调要更全面、更高质量的发展，我们肩上的担子不是变轻了，而是更重了，更需要人人敢于担当、人人勤勉任事。在党中央的集中统一领导下，尽心竭力、稳扎稳打，我们一定能将社会主义制度优势和市场经济资源配置优势结合好、发挥好，为2020年全面建成小康社会打下更坚实基础。
