China’s modernization is more than skyscrapers and tech parks—it’s a "people-centered" journey! At its core, this approach makes citizens the starting point and the goal of progress. 🇨🇳👥
First coined at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the "people-centered" idea has become the compass guiding policies. It asks big questions: Who is development for? Who drives it? Who shares its fruits? The answer: the people. ✨
In practice, this means reforms like Zhejiang’s "one-trip at most" admin services, Sanming’s medical overhaul, and the Fengqiao Experience, where over 90% of local disputes are solved at village centers. These steps show how innovation meets everyday needs. 🏥📝
People are not just beneficiaries but active agents. By tapping into local wisdom, China harnesses collective creativity—building social networks and digital platforms that speed up approvals with "one seal", "one network", or "one-stop" services. 🚀💻
Even lawmaking reflects this spirit. During the Civil Code drafting, public feedback flowed in—1.02 million comments! From courtyard deliberation halls to household consultation meetings, citizens weigh in on urban renewal and rule-making, ensuring their voices shape the future. 🏛️🗣️
Why does it matter? A people-centered path blends practical logic, historical context, and theoretical insight, making modernization not just a technical feat but a shared journey. It’s modernization designed by the people, for the people—and with the people, too. 🌱🤝
In the new era, this approach aims for common prosperity, cultural and ethical growth, and sustainable green development. The measure of success? People’s happiness, satisfaction, and sense of well-being. ❤🏞️
From grassroots democracy to high-quality growth, China’s people-centered modernization is reshaping how progress feels—turning policies into everyday improvements and dreams into reality. 🚀🌏
