Advancing Chinese-Path Modernization Must Strengthen Strategic Thinking

Strategic issues are fundamental to a political party and a country. In advancing Chinese-path modernization, one must be adept at strategic thinking and at viewing and considering problems from a strategic perspective. In his important speech at the opening ceremony of a study session on studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that advancing Chinese-path modernization requires “enhancing the foresight of strategy, accurately grasping the inevitable trends of things’ development, keenly discerning the opportunities and challenges that may arise on the road ahead, and using science-based strategy to foresee and lead the future. It requires enhancing the comprehensiveness of strategy, so that strategic goals, measures, and deployments are all focused on solving major problems that bear on the success or failure of the Party and the country’s cause and that affect the whole situation if one part is touched. It requires enhancing the stability of strategy; once a strategy is formed, it must be adhered to over the long term, implemented thoroughly, and carried out well, without arbitrary changes. The principled nature of strategy must be organically combined with the flexibility of tactics, so that one can be flexible and adaptable, make decisions on the spot, and seize the strategic initiative by adapting to local conditions, responding to trends, and going along with the current.” This important exposition points the way for us to deeply understand and correctly grasp the connotation and essence of strategy, and provides the fundamental guidance for using strategic thinking to advance Chinese-path modernization.

战略问题是一个政党、一个国家的根本性问题。推进中国式现代化，要善于进行战略思维，善于从战略上看问题、想问题。在学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想和党的二十大精神研讨班开班式上发表重要讲话时，习近平总书记强调，推进中国式现代化“要增强战略的前瞻性，准确把握事物发展的必然趋势，敏锐洞悉前进道路上可能出现的机遇和挑战，以科学的战略预见未来、引领未来。要增强战略的全局性，谋划战略目标、制定战略举措、作出战略部署，都要着眼于解决事关党和国家事业兴衰成败、牵一发而动全身的重大问题。要增强战略的稳定性，战略一经形成，就要长期坚持、一抓到底、善作善成，不要随意改变。要把战略的原则性和策略的灵活性有机结合起来，灵活机动、随机应变、临机决断，在因地制宜、因势而动、顺势而为中把握战略主动。”这一重要论述为我们深刻理解和正确把握战略的内涵与本质指明了方向，为运用战略思维推进中国式现代化提供了根本遵循。

I. Enhancing the Foresight of Strategy

一、增强战略的前瞻性

Foresight is an important feature of strategic thinking. Strategic foresight refers to making judgments about the general trend and direction of the development of objective things, foreseeing new situations and changes that may arise as early as possible, and creating conditions for timely prevention and resolution of risks on the road ahead. In the process of advancing Chinese-path modernization, enhancing the foresight of strategy and firmly grasping the strategic initiative will enable better guidance of practice, promotion of work, and correct response to various opportunities and challenges.

前瞻性是战略思维的重要特征。战略前瞻性是指对客观事物发展的总趋势和走向作出预判，及早预见可能出现的新情况新变化，为及时防范化解前进道路上的风险创造条件。在推进中国式现代化进程中，增强战略的前瞻性，牢牢掌握战略主动权，方能更好地指导实践、推动工作，正确应对各种机遇和挑战。

Enhancing the foresight of strategy is an inevitable requirement for winning the strategic initiative. Strategy governs the long term and the general situation. Only by having a clear picture in mind and a method in hand can one prepare for a rainy day, respond calmly, and win the strategic initiative. Advancing Chinese-path modernization is a pioneering undertaking without precedent, and it will inevitably encounter various predictable and unpredictable risks, challenges, difficulties, and obstacles. Only by enhancing the foresight of strategy can one make the first move to prevent and resolve risks, shift from passive “encounter” to active “foresight,” and fight the active battle and win the initiative. On the road ahead, Party members and cadres must be adept at summing up experience, discovering laws, making inferences and predictions, observing and thinking about problems from the forefront of the times, unifying planning for the present and the future, and grasping the development trends of modernization; starting from the overall international and domestic situation, they must combine planning for specific matters with planning for the general situation, study the trending phenomena in the process of modernization, base themselves on the present, gather momentum and plan for the long term, solve development difficulties, shape development advantages, and strive to advance the various undertakings of Chinese-path modernization.

增强战略的前瞻性是赢得战略主动的必然要求。战略是管长远、管大势。心中有数、胸中有法才能做到未雨绸缪、从容应对，才能赢得战略主动。推进中国式现代化是一项前无古人的开创性事业，必然会遇到各种可以预料和难以预料的风险挑战、艰难险阻。增强战略的前瞻性才能下好防范化解风险的先手棋，才能从被动“遇见”转向主动“预见”，才能打好主动仗、赢得主动权。前进道路上，党员、干部必须善于总结经验、发现规律、推理预判，站在时代前沿观察思考问题，将谋当下和谋未来统一起来，把握现代化的发展趋向；从国际国内大势出发，将谋事和谋势结合起来，研判现代化进程中的趋势性现象，立足当下、聚势谋远，解决发展难题，塑造发展优势，着力推进中国式现代化各项事业发展。

Enhancing the foresight of strategy is inseparable from the guidance of scientific theory. Strategic thinking embodies far-sightedness, overall planning, and the ability to grasp laws from complex and contradictory phenomena. Strategic thinking ability cannot emerge from nothing; it needs to be built on a correct understanding of historical laws and a scientific analysis of practical problems. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era adheres to the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method, upholds the basic principles of scientific socialism, and puts forward a series of new concepts, ideas, and strategies with pioneering significance. On the new journey, Party members and cadres must strengthen the theoretical armament of the Party’s innovation, comprehensively study and grasp Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, comprehensively and systematically master the basic viewpoints and scientific system of this thought, properly grasp its worldview and methodology, adhere to and apply the stance, viewpoint, and method that run through it, improve strategic thinking ability, enhance the ability to judge a series of major issues facing future development, and improve governance capability and leadership level.

增强战略的前瞻性离不开科学理论的指导。战略思维体现的是高瞻远瞩、统揽全局，善于从纷繁复杂的矛盾中把握规律。战略思维能力不能凭空而来，需要建立在对历史规律的正确认识和对现实问题的科学分析基础上。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想坚持马克思主义立场观点方法，坚持科学社会主义基本原则，提出一系列具有开创性意义的新理念新思想新战略。新征程上，党员干部必须加强党的创新理论武装，全面学习领会习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想，全面系统掌握这一思想的基本观点、科学体系，把握好这一思想的世界观、方法论，坚持好、运用好贯穿其中的立场观点方法，提高战略思维能力，提高对未来发展面临的一系列重大问题的判断力，提高执政能力和领导水平。

Enhancing the foresight of strategy must use science-based strategy to foresee and lead the future. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The general trend of history is that its development does not depend on human will. Humans can understand, adapt to, and apply historical laws, but cannot prevent historical laws from taking effect.” China’s development faces new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and new strategic environments; the risks and challenges to be addressed, and the contradictions and problems to be resolved, are more complex than ever. To seize the opportunity of historical transformation, and to plan and scientifically lay out the grand goals, future blueprint, and strategic arrangements of Chinese-path modernization from a forward-looking perspective, one must master the basic skill of foreseeing the future. One must have foresight and be good at prediction, grasp the general trend, discern the direction of development, assess the situation, and enhance the foresight of work and the scientific nature of decision-making. One must grasp the laws and general trend of historical development, keep the overall situation in mind, focus on major events, identify the entry points and focal points of work, plan according to the situation, respond to trends, and go along with the current, thereby planning well the “general situation” and “specific matters” of Chinese-path modernization.

增强战略的前瞻性必须以科学的战略预见未来、引领未来。习近平总书记指出：“历史大势，就是其发展是不依人的意志为转移的。人类可以认识、顺应、运用历史规律，但无法阻止历史规律发生作用。”我国发展面临新的战略机遇、新的战略任务、新的战略阶段、新的战略要求、新的战略环境，需要应对的风险和挑战、需要解决的矛盾和问题比以往更加错综复杂。抓住历史变革的时机，从前瞻性的角度统筹谋划、科学布局中国式现代化的宏伟目标、未来蓝图和战略安排，必须练好预见未来的基本功。要有远见、善预见，把握大势、辨清走势、审时度势，增强工作的前瞻性和决策的科学性。把握住历史发展规律和大势，胸怀大局、着眼大事，抓准工作切入点和着力点，做到因势而谋、应势而动、顺势而为，谋划好中国式现代化的“势”与“事”。

II. Enhancing the Comprehensiveness of Strategy

二、增强战略的全局性

He who does not plan for the whole situation is not fit to plan for a single part. [1]1 A classical Chinese saying emphasizing the importance of considering the whole before the part. Only by always taking the overall situation as the starting point and foothold for observing and handling problems, achieving coordinated efficiency, comprehensive advancement, and systematic integration, and realizing historic changes, systemic remodeling, and holistic restructuring in key areas, can the cause of Chinese-path modernization achieve breakthroughs, development, and progress in all respects.

不谋全局者，不足以谋一域。唯有始终把全局作为观察和处理问题的出发点和落脚点，做到协同高效、全面推进、系统集成，在关键性领域实现历史性变革、系统性重塑、整体性重构，中国式现代化事业才能全面突破、全面发展、全面进步。

Keep in mind the “two overall situations.” [2]2 A key concept in Xi Jinping’s strategic thinking, referring to the domestic goal of national rejuvenation and the international context of global transformation. Chinese-path modernization is the fruit of the long-term practical exploration of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, and it is a great and arduous undertaking. The basic starting point for planning this great undertaking is the “two overall situations”: one is the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the other is the changes unseen in a century in the world. Chinese-path modernization must be placed within these two overall situations to observe its momentum and respond to its timing. When thinking about problems and handling affairs from the overall and strategic perspective, all work must be premised on implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee; one must not harm the overall interest for the sake of partial interests, nor harm fundamental and long-term interests for the sake of temporary interests. To comprehensively advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, it is necessary to firmly establish the thinking of the whole country as a single chessboard, make judgments and decisions from the overall, long-term, and general situation, strive to enhance the ability to command the overall situation, plan for one part with the whole in view, grasp the situation to plan for major events, and with the bearing and breadth of mind of “climbing Mount Tai to find the world small,” [3]3 An allusion to Confucius’s saying in *Mencius*, used here to evoke a broad perspective. always take the overall situation as the starting point and foothold for observing and handling problems.

胸怀“两个大局”。中国式现代化是中国共产党和中国人民长期实践探索的成果，是一项伟大而艰巨的事业。谋划这项伟大事业的基本出发点是“两个大局”，一个是中华民族伟大复兴的战略全局，一个是世界百年未有之大变局，必须把中国式现代化放到两个大局中来观其势、应其时。站在全局和战略的高度想问题、办事情，一切工作都要以贯彻落实党中央决策部署为前提，不能为了局部利益损害全局利益、为了暂时利益损害根本利益和长远利益。以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴，需要牢固树立全国一盘棋思想，从全局、长远、大势上作出判断和决策，努力增强总揽全局的能力，放眼全局谋一域，把握形势谋大事，以“登东山而小鲁”“登泰山而小天下”的气度和胸襟，始终把全局作为观察和处理问题的出发点和落脚点。

Grasp the strategic key. The overall situation is not a simple sum of its parts; grasping the overall situation does not mean attending to everything equally, nor “grabbing at eyebrows and beards all at once,” [4]4 A Chinese idiom meaning to try to handle too many things at once without prioritizing. but rather grasping the strategic key. Multiple contradictions are interwoven in the overall situation; only by grasping the principal contradiction can one grasp the overall situation. In advancing Chinese-path modernization, it is necessary to focus on the principal contradiction in Chinese society in the new stage and the central task of the Party, prioritize solving the main aspect of the principal contradiction, and grasp the “outline” of the work. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The Party’s century-long struggle tells us that whether the cause of the Party and the people can advance in the correct direction depends on whether we can accurately recognize and grasp the principal social contradiction and determine the central task.” China is undergoing extensive and profound social changes; the task of advancing Chinese-path modernization is very heavy, and promoting reform and development and adjusting interest relations often affects the whole situation if one part is touched. To enhance the comprehensiveness of strategy, one must proceed from the holistic nature of things’ existence, grasp the principal contradiction and the overall problem, focus on solving major problems that bear on the success or failure of the Party and the country’s cause, and use the effective resolution of the principal contradiction and overall problem to drive the resolution of partial contradictions and problems, thereby continuously promoting the comprehensive development of China’s economy and society and the all-round progress of various undertakings.

把握战略关键。全局不是局部的简单相加，把握全局不是面面俱到，不是“眉毛胡子一把抓”，而是要把握战略关键。全局中交织着多种矛盾，抓住主要矛盾才能把握全局。推进中国式现代化，要围绕新阶段我国社会的主要矛盾和党的中心任务，优先解决主要矛盾的主要方面，抓住工作的“纲”。习近平总书记指出：“党的百年奋斗历程告诉我们，党和人民事业能不能沿着正确方向前进，取决于我们能否准确认识和把握社会主要矛盾、确定中心任务。”我国正在经历广泛而深刻的社会变革，推进中国式现代化的任务十分繁重，推进改革发展、调整利益关系往往牵一发而动全身。增强战略的全局性，就要从事物存在的整体性出发，抓住事物的主要矛盾和全局性问题，着眼于解决事关党和国家事业兴衰成败的重大问题，以主要矛盾和全局性问题的有效解决，带动推进局部性矛盾和问题的化解，不断推进我国经济社会全面发展和各项事业全面进步。

Adhere to systematic planning. The systemic concept means understanding objects according to the objective reality of things, and insisting on observing and handling problems from the perspective of universal connection, comprehensive system, and development and change. The nine essential requirements of Chinese-path modernization are closely linked and mutually penetrating; they clarify both the leading force of modernization and its lofty goals; they encompass both the material dimension of modernization and point to its spiritual aspirations; they are both rooted in China and concerned with all of humanity, embodying the fundamental characteristics and value pursuit of Chinese-path modernization, forming an organic whole. Comprehensively advancing the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan [1]1 A classical Chinese saying emphasizing the importance of considering the whole before the part. and promoting coordinated development in all aspects and dimensions of modernization requires organic synergy based on a deep grasp of the operation and interconnection of various factors such as China’s current economy, politics, culture, society, and ecology. Rooted in China and looking out to the world, we promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, create a new form of human civilization, provide Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese strength for solving the common problems facing humanity, and strive to make new and greater contributions to human peace and development.

坚持系统谋划。系统观念就是按照客观事物的本来面目来认识对象，坚持以普遍联系的、全面系统的、发展变化的观点来观察和处理问题。中国式现代化九个方面的本质要求紧密联系、相互贯通，既明确了现代化的领导力量，又明确了现代化的崇高目标；既涵括了现代化的物质维度，又指出了现代化的精神诉求；既立足中国，又关照全人类，体现了中国式现代化的根本特点和价值追求，构成了一个有机整体。全面推进“五位一体”总体布局，促进现代化建设各个环节、各个方面协调发展，需要在深刻把握我国现阶段经济、政治、文化、社会和生态等诸要素运行和关联的基础上，实行有机协同。立足中国、放眼世界，推动构建人类命运共同体，创造人类文明新形态，为解决人类面临的共同问题提供中国智慧、中国方案、中国力量，努力为人类和平与发展作出新的更大贡献。

III. Enhancing the Stability of Strategy

三、增强战略的稳定性

Major strategies concern the overall situation of the cause of the Party and the state; a single move may affect the whole situation. On the new journey, we must ensure that a blueprint is drawn to the end, that one term follows another in carrying out the work, fearing no risks, swayed by no distractions, and marching forward courageously toward the established strategic goals.

重大战略关系党和国家事业发展大局，牵一发而动全身。新征程上必须做到一张蓝图绘到底，一任接着一任干，不为任何风险所惧，不被任何干扰所惑，向着既定的战略目标勇毅前行。

Maintain historical patience. Chinese-path modernization is a cause carried forward by Chinese Communists through successive efforts. On the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since reform and opening up, and through theoretical and practical innovations and breakthroughs since the 18th National Congress of the CPC [2]2 A key concept in Xi Jinping’s strategic thinking, referring to the domestic goal of national rejuvenation and the international context of global transformation., our Party has successfully advanced and expanded Chinese-path modernization. The 20th National Congress of the CPC [3]3 An allusion to Confucius’s saying in *Mencius*, used here to evoke a broad perspective. drew a grand blueprint for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, profoundly expounded the Chinese characteristics, essential requirements, and major principles of Chinese-path modernization, and made comprehensive arrangements for comprehensively building a modern socialist country. We must place Chinese-path modernization within the long river of history and a global perspective, deeply recognize that advancing Chinese-path modernization is a long-term and arduous undertaking, use the “yardstick of history” to measure the great cause concerning national rejuvenation, maintain historical patience, anchor the strategic goal of realizing Chinese-path modernization, and persistently advance it, generation after generation.

保持历史耐心。中国式现代化是中国共产党人接续奋斗的事业。在新中国成立特别是改革开放以来长期探索和实践基础上，经过党的十八大以来在理论和实践上的创新突破，我们党成功推进和拓展了中国式现代化。党的二十大擘画了全面建成社会主义现代化强国、以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴的宏伟蓝图，深刻阐述了中国式现代化的中国特色、本质要求和重大原则，对全面建成社会主义现代化强国进行全面部署。必须将中国式现代化放到历史长河和全球视野中考量，深刻认识到推进中国式现代化是一项长期而艰巨的事业，要用“历史的尺度”衡量关乎民族复兴的伟大事业，保持历史耐心，锚定实现中国式现代化的战略目标，一以贯之，一代接一代地接力推进。

Maintain strategic resolve. Standing at the historical intersection of the Two Centenary Goals [4]4 A Chinese idiom meaning to try to handle too many things at once without prioritizing., we must enhance strategic stability and continuously open up new prospects for the cause of the Party and the state. Maintaining strategic resolve and concentrating on handling our own affairs well is the key to responding to various risks and challenges. Since the founding of New China, especially since reform and opening up, China has completed in just a few decades the industrialization process that took Western developed countries several hundred years, creating the twin miracles of rapid economic growth and long-term social stability, and opening up broad prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. On the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, the most crucial thing is to adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, improve strategic thinking ability, maintain strategic confidence, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up new horizons for the development of the cause.

保持战略定力。站在“两个一百年”奋斗目标的历史交汇点上，我们必须增强战略稳定性，不断开创党和国家事业发展新局面。保持战略定力，集中精力办好自己的事情，这是应对各种风险挑战的关键。新中国成立特别是改革开放以来，我国用几十年时间走完西方发达国家几百年走过的工业化历程，创造了经济快速发展和社会长期稳定的奇迹，为中华民族伟大复兴开辟了广阔前景。在全面建设社会主义现代化国家的新征程上，最关键的是坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，提高战略思维能力，保持战略自信，依靠顽强斗争打开事业发展新天地。

Maintain a broad mind. Maintaining strategic stability requires leading cadres to establish a correct view of power, outlook on political performance, and view of the cause, and to enhance their sense of responsibility and mission. Leading cadres must have the realm and pattern of “achievements do not necessarily have to be made during my tenure” and the responsibility and commitment of “achievements must necessarily include my contribution.” Maintaining strategic stability requires handling the relationship between visible achievements and latent achievements well. We must both make visible contributions and make latent contributions; we must both strive to complete explicit work tasks and, more importantly, do solid work that benefits the long term, one batch after another, without indulging in empty fantasies or chasing vain fame, taking solid steps one after another, and doing the work earnestly and solidly. Maintain policy stability and continuity, avoid phenomena such as frequent changes of orders, keep the direction unwavering, maintain resolve without slackening, start well and end well, and achieve success through good work.

保持宽广胸怀。保持战略的稳定性需要领导干部树立正确的权力观、政绩观、事业观，增强责任感和使命感。领导干部要有“功成不必在我”的境界格局和“功成必定有我”责任担当。保持战略的稳定性要处理好显绩和潜绩的关系。既要做显功，也要做潜功；既要努力完成显性工作任务，更要做好埋头苦干、利在长远的实事，一茬接一茬，不驰于空想、不骛于虚声，一步一个脚印，踏踏实实干好工作。保持政策稳定性、连续性，避免出现朝令夕改等现象，保持方向不动摇，保持定力不松劲，善始善终、善作善成。

IV. Organically Combining the Principled Nature of Strategy with the Flexibility of Tactics

四、把战略的原则性和策略的灵活性有机结合起来

On the new road of the examination [5]5 The “road of the examination” (赶考路) is a metaphor originating with Mao Zedong in 1949, comparing the Party’s governance after seizing national power to a candidate taking an imperial examination; it has been revived under, the weight of tasks for reform, development, and stability, the multitude of contradictions, risks, and challenges, and the magnitude of tests in governing the country are unprecedented. To properly respond to various major challenges and major risks, we must both keep in mind the “greatest concerns of the state” [6] and maintain strategic resolve; and also “reach the vast and vast and exhaust the subtle and subtle” [7], accurately grasping and focusing on the entry points and focal points of work. Party members and cadres must formulate tactics based on reality, promptly summarize and evaluate, and flexibly respond to the difficulties that arise in the process of advancing Chinese-path modernization.

新的赶考路上，改革发展稳定任务之重、矛盾风险挑战之多、治国理政考验之大前所未有，妥善应对各种重大挑战、重大风险，既需要牢记“国之大者”，保持战略定力；又要“致广大而尽精微”，抓准抓好工作的切入点和着力点。党员、干部必须立足实际制定策略，及时总结评估，灵活应对中国式现代化推进过程中出现的难题。

Grasp the dialectical unity of strategy and tactics. Strategy involves making judgments and decisions from the overall, long-term, and general trend perspective; tactics are formulated under the guidance of strategy and serve strategy; correct strategy requires correct tactics to implement. Correctly handling the dialectical and unified relationship between strategy and tactics is a successful secret of our Party in overcoming various risks and challenges and continuously moving from victory to victory. To advance Chinese-path modernization, we must summarize and apply this important experience well. It requires not only strategic planning but also tactics, wisdom, and methods. Strategic intentions need to be realized through formulating specific tactics; we must combine the firmness of strategy with the flexibility of tactics, both grasping the direction, major issues, and long-term planning, and accurately grasping and focusing on the entry points and focal points of work. Maintain sufficient strategic resolve and tactical vitality, avoid problems such as being overly concerned with gains and losses, wavering, and losing one’s footing, and seize and make good use of development opportunities.

把握战略和策略的辩证统一。战略是从全局、长远、大势上作出判断和决策，策略是在战略指导下为战略服务的，正确的战略需要正确的策略来落实。正确处理战略和策略辩证统一的关系，是我们党战胜各种风险挑战、不断从胜利走向胜利的成功秘诀。推进中国式现代化必须把这一重要经验总结好、运用好，不仅要有战略谋划，还要有策略、有智慧、有方法。战略意图需要通过制定具体的策略来实现，必须把战略的坚定性和策略的灵活性结合起来，既要把方向、抓大事、谋长远，又要抓准抓好工作的切入点和着力点。保持足够的战略定力和策略活力，避免出现患得患失、摇摆不定、进退失据的问题，抓好用好发展机遇。

Adhere to the principled nature of strategy. To advance Chinese-path modernization, we must observe and think about problems from the forefront of the times, unifying planning for affairs and planning for trends, planning for the present and planning for the future. Adhering to the principled nature of strategy, when determining work ideas, work deployments, policies, and measures, we must consciously align and calibrate deviations with the Party’s theories, line, principles, and policies in a timely manner. The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC provided a comprehensive and systematic explanation of the strategies for invigorating China through science and education, the innovation-driven development strategy, and the strategy for strengthening the country through talent in the New Era. Regarding these major strategic issues concerning the overall situation, we must think strategically, plan strategic goals, formulate strategic measures, and make strategic deployments. Adhering to the principled nature of strategy does not mean the rigidity and solidification of strategy. As the overall economic and social situation changes and the trend of the times evolves, strategic adjustments should be made in a timely manner. Currently, China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunity, but the connotation of this period of strategic opportunity has undergone profound changes; making a sober and calm new strategic response is an inevitable requirement.

恪守战略的原则性。推进中国式现代化要站在时代前沿观察思考问题，把谋事和谋势、谋当下和谋未来统一起来。恪守战略的原则性，确定工作思路、工作部署、政策措施，要自觉同党的理论和路线方针政策对标对表、及时校准偏差。党的二十大报告对新时代实施科教兴国战略、创新驱动发展战略、人才强国战略等作出了全面系统的阐释。针对这些事关全局性的重大战略问题，要从战略上进行思考，谋划战略目标、制定战略举措、作出战略部署。恪守战略的原则性并不意味着战略的僵化与凝固。随着经济社会全局的变化、时代大势的演进，要适时进行战略调整。当前，中国发展仍处于重要战略机遇期，但战略机遇期的内涵已经发生深刻变化，清醒冷静作出新的战略性回应是必然要求。

Enhance the flexibility of tactics. To comprehensively advance the systematic project of Chinese-path modernization, we must enhance the flexibility of tactics, flexibly adjust according to the actual situation and its changes during implementation, and firmly grasp the initiative in development through creative execution. To enhance the targeted, pragmatic, and operable nature of tactical arrangements, we must formulate work tactics and methods that conform to reality, focus on grasping accurately and doing meticulously, and promote the development of the cause of Chinese-path modernization to a new level through overcoming difficulties. Specific policies and tactics formulated under the guidance of strategy must be targeted, adjust relevant measures according to local conditions, time, and circumstances, continuously enhance the flexibility, coordination, and complementarity of policy measures, and achieve maximum policy effects. Enhance awareness of potential dangers, adhere to bottom-line thinking, strengthen the will to struggle, enhance the ability to struggle, and use correct strategy and tactics to respond to changes, foster new opportunities, and open up new prospects.

增强策略的灵活性。全面推进中国式现代化系统工程，必须增强策略的灵活性，在落实的过程中依据实际情况及其变化灵活调整，以创造性的执行力牢牢把握发展主动权。增强策略安排的针对性、务实性和可操作性，必须制定符合实际的工作策略和方法，在抓得准、做得细上下功夫，在攻坚克难中推动中国式现代化事业发展迈上新台阶。在战略指导下制定出来的具体政策策略要有的放矢，因地制宜、因时因势及时调整相关的措施，不断增强政策举措的灵活性、协调性、配套性，取得最大政策效应。增强忧患意识，坚持底线思维，坚定斗争意志，增强斗争本领，以正确的战略策略应变局、育新机、开新局。
