We need to build a unified, open and orderly market system, achieve smooth market access, open and orderly markets, full market competition, and standardized market order, and accelerate the formation of a modern market system in which enterprises operate independently and compete fairly, consumers choose freely and consume independently, and commodities and factors flow freely and evenly. We should build an income distribution system that reflects efficiency and promotes fairness, achieve reasonable income distribution, social fairness and justice, and common prosperity for all people, promote the equalization of basic public services, and gradually narrow the income distribution gap. It is necessary to build a urban-rural regional development system that highlights advantages, coordinates and links, realize regional benign interaction, urban and rural integrated development, and overall optimization of land and sea planning, cultivate and give play to regional comparative advantages, strengthen regional complementary advantages, and shape a new pattern of regional coordinated development.
