The successful practice of Shenzhen and other special economic zones has fully proved that the strategic decision of the Party Central Committee to establish special economic zones is completely correct. The special economic zones should not only continue to be built, but also be built better and at a higher level.

Xi Jinping stressed that Shenzhen and other special economic zones have accumulated valuable experience in 40 years of reform and opening up, which has deepened our understanding of the laws governing the construction of socialist special economic zones with Chinese characteristics. First, we must adhere to the leadership of the Party in the construction of special economic zones and always maintain the correct direction in the construction of special economic zones. Second, we must adhere to and improve the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and promote the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics to become more mature and stereotyped through reform practice. Third, we must adhere to the principle that development is the absolute principle, adhere to the principle of daring to try, dare to be the first, and lead the reform to break through the ice with ideas. Fourth, we must adhere to all-round opening up, and constantly improve the attraction of "bringing in" and the competitiveness of "going out". Fifth, we must adhere to the principle that innovation is the first driving force and win the initiative in the global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Sixth, we must adhere to the people centred development idea, so that more and more equitable results of reform and development will benefit the people. Seventh, we must adhere to scientific legislation, strict law enforcement, fair justice, and law abiding people, so that the rule of law becomes an important guarantee for the development of special economic zones. Eighth, we must practice the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, and realize the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of economic society and ecological environment. Ninth, we must fully and accurately implement the basic principle of "one country, two systems" and promote the integrated development and mutual promotion of the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. Tenth, we must adhere to the principle of giving better play to the role of special economic zones in radiating and driving the development of the whole country and making contributions to national development.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the world today is experiencing great changes that have not occurred in a century. China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the economy has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. Shenzhen should build a pilot demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics, create a city model of a modern socialist power, improve its ability and level of implementation of new development concepts, form a new pattern of comprehensively deepening reform and expanding opening up, promote the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Bay Area, enrich the new practice of "one country, two systems", and take the lead in achieving socialist modernization. First, unswervingly implement the new development concept. We should adhere to the main line of supply side structural reform, unswervingly implement the innovation driven development strategy, increase investment in basic research and applied basic research, cultivate new drivers and enhance new potential energy. We should vigorously develop the modern service industry and improve its development level and competitiveness. We should implement a more open talent policy and pool talents from all over the world. Second, keep pace with the times and comprehensively deepen reform. After in-depth research, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China supported Shenzhen in implementing the pilot comprehensive reform, and granted Shenzhen more autonomy in important areas and key links of reform by means of list and batch authorization. The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone should shoulder its responsibilities, firmly grasp the right direction, and strive to introduce a number of major reform measures in important areas. Third, we are determined to open up in an all-round way. We should optimize and upgrade the system of production, distribution, circulation and consumption, strengthen the function of unblocking the domestic circulation and connecting domestic and international double circulation, speed up institutional opening such as rules and standards, and take the lead in building a new system of open economy at a higher level. We should strengthen multi-level and multi field practical cooperation with countries and regions along the "Belt and Road". Fourth, we should innovate ideas to modernize the urban governance system and capacity. We should establish the awareness of full cycle management, accelerate the modernization of urban governance system and capacity, and strive to find a new way of governance that conforms to the characteristics and laws of super large cities. Fifth, we should really do our best to implement the people centred development thought. We need to take more reform and innovation measures to solve the problems of employment, education, medical care, social security, housing, old-age care, food safety, ecological environment, social security and other issues one by one, and strive to make people feel better, more sustainable, and more secure. We should respect the initiative of the people and constantly draw innovative and creative energy from the people for the development of special economic zones. Sixth, actively promote the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. We should seize the major historical opportunity in the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, promote the convergence of rules and mechanisms in the economic operation of the three regions, and improve the level of market integration. We should continue to encourage and guide compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese to give full play to the important role of investment and two-way opening up, and make new contributions to the development of special economic zones.

Xi Jinping stressed that a single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring. We unswervingly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, which not only draws development momentum from the world, but also makes China's development better benefit the world. The 40 year practice of the construction of special economic zones is inseparable from the joint participation of all countries in the world, which has also created broad development space and shared development benefits for all countries. We welcome countries all over the world to participate more in the reform, opening up and development of China's special economic zones, and build a new pattern of mutual consultation, construction, sharing and win-win results.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the special economic zones are at the forefront of reform and opening up, and there are higher requirements for strengthening the overall leadership of the Party and building the Party. We should thoroughly implement the general requirements for Party building in the new era, and take the lead in strengthening the Party's overall leadership and Party building with the spirit of reform and innovation. The majority of Party members and cadres should strengthen their ideals and beliefs, update their knowledge and concepts, master excellent skills, and consciously stand on the overall situation of the Party and the country to think about problems and do things. We should stimulate the enthusiasm and energy of Party members and cadres to start their own businesses. We should uphold the principle of upholding integrity and upholding discipline, resolutely punish corruption, resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy, and create a good political environment with a clean and upright atmosphere.

Xi Jinping stressed that socialism with Chinese characteristics is a socialism with all-round development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. The special economic zones should adhere to the principle of "both hands, both hands must be hard" and give excellent answers in both material and spiritual civilization construction. We should strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs, cultivate and practice the core socialist values, carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, continue to carry forward the spirit of the special zone of daring to try, daring to be the first, and working hard, and educate and guide the cadres and the masses, especially the young people, to be confident in the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and theory Confident in system and culture.
