The successful completion of the 14th Five Year Plan for the construction of the PLA is of great significance to the realization of the centennial goal of building the PLA on schedule and to the comprehensive promotion of the great cause of building a powerful country and national rejuvenation with Chinese path to modernization. President Xi stressed at the plenary meeting of the PLA and the armed police delegation at the third session of the 14th National People's Congress that the relationship between progress and quality, cost and efficiency, overall situation and priorities, development and supervision, planning implementation and capacity formation should be handled well, and the path of high-quality, cost-effective and sustainable development should be taken to ensure that the construction achievements can stand the test of history and practice. This important discourse is a profound summary of our party's history and practical experience in governing the country and strengthening the military, providing scientific methodological guidance for winning the final battle of the 14th Five Year Plan for military construction. We must deeply study, understand, and implement it. The 14th Five Year Plan for the construction of our military is the starting plan for the new "three-step" strategy of national defense and military modernization, and also the blueprint design for achieving the centenary goal of building the military. At present, the implementation of the 14th Five Year Plan for the construction of our military has entered the final stage, and various strategic tasks and major engineering construction have entered the final sprint stage. At this time point, it is particularly important to handle the relationship between progress and quality. Progress is an important guarantee for implementing high-quality requirements. Reasonably formulating plans and implementing them according to plans is a scientific method for our party, country, and military to promote the development of the cause. Only by ensuring the efficient implementation of our military's 14th Five Year Plan according to the timeline can we provide a solid foundation and time guarantee for the high-quality development of our military. If the progress lags behind, it will face pressure such as uneven development and tight time in the later stage, making it difficult to ensure the high-quality completion of various construction tasks. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the sense of time and efficiency, maintain the momentum of tackling key issues, accelerate the construction process, and ensure that all construction tasks are completed on time and with quality. Quality is the fundamental standard for measuring the effectiveness of construction. While pursuing progress, we must not overlook the lifeline of quality. The 14th Five Year Plan for the construction of our military involves various aspects of national defense and military modernization, and each construction task is related to the generation and improvement of combat effectiveness. We push forward and inspect various tasks according to time nodes, ultimately to ensure the quality of construction. If we give up quality in order to catch up with the progress, it will deviate from the original intention of planning, inevitably bury safety hazards, and affect the long-term development and combat effectiveness of the troops. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of quality first, strictly adhere to standards, and strictly control quality to avoid falling into the misconception of "rushing for work and lowering quality". We must achieve both progress and quality, ensuring that every construction task can withstand the test of history and practical experience. The 14th Five Year Plan for military construction is an important component of the top-level design and major strategic deployment of national economic and social development, and must adhere to the path of high-quality, high-efficiency, low-cost, and sustainable development. Cost and efficiency are two sides of the same coin. We face the constraints of cost and efficiency in any work or decision, and we must do a good job of overall planning and consideration. At present, China's economic and social development is facing a complex situation of increasing external pressure and internal difficulties. While promoting sustainable and healthy economic and social development, it requires us to handle the relationship between cost and benefit well, and ensure that every penny of defense expenditure is spent wisely. Make efforts to reduce costs. Cost reduction is not simply about cutting expenses, but about improving resource utilization efficiency and reducing waste through scientific management, technological innovation, and other means. For example, in the procurement and research and development of weapons and equipment, procurement costs and technology research and development costs can be reduced through centralized procurement, optimized design schemes, and other methods; In terms of military logistics support, logistics expenses can be reduced by implementing refined management and improving logistics service efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen budget management, establish a mindset of living a tight life, implement the requirements of diligence and frugality in building the military, strictly control various expenditures, implement the concept of cost control and economic affordability throughout the entire project construction cycle, and ensure that every fund is used in the most important and critical areas. Efforts should be made to increase efficiency and benefits. Improving quality and efficiency is not blindly pursuing high speed and unrealistic high targets, but adhering to the principle of quality first and efficiency priority, implementing practical requirements in actual combat, scientifically arranging and meticulously calculating, and promoting the transformation of national defense and military construction from "quantity" growth to "quality" improvement. This requires us to focus on connotative, intensive, and sustainable development, further liberate and develop combat effectiveness, and enhance the vitality of the military. For example, advanced training concepts and methods can be introduced to improve training effectiveness and combat effectiveness; By promoting information technology construction and improving management efficiency, management costs and time costs can be reduced. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen strategic management, plan and design the investment of military resources from the top level, effectively maximize the benefits of spending money, and ensure the high efficiency and sustainability of national defense and military construction. The key to achieving overall optimization is to handle the relationship between the global and key aspects and promote each other. This means that we should not only focus on overall planning and strategic layout, but also ensure the coordinated promotion and balanced development of various tasks; We must also highlight key areas and critical links, identify the main direction of attack, and concentrate our efforts on overcoming the bottleneck of core technologies and combat effectiveness. We need to guide and adjust the direction and intensity of highlighting key tasks by strengthening the global perspective, ensuring consistency between key tasks and overall goals. We also need to promote the achievement of global goals by highlighting key areas, ensuring that military construction can make significant breakthroughs in key areas and links, and thus drive the overall level improvement. The global perspective requires us to have a macro perspective and be able to examine issues from a strategic perspective. It is not only a comprehensive understanding of the current situation, but also an accurate prediction of future trends. In the process of implementing the 14th Five Year Plan for the construction of our military, we must always start from national security and strategic interests, comprehensively consider all aspects of national defense and military modernization, not only focus on current urgent needs and priorities, but also anticipate future development trends, respond to potential threats and challenges, and ensure that military construction always moves in the right direction. Highlighting key points requires us to give special attention and priority support to key areas and critical links based on a global perspective, and focus limited resources and energy on those areas and tasks that have a decisive impact on the generation and improvement of combat effectiveness. When identifying and determining priorities, it is necessary to consider both current practical needs and long-term development goals, ensuring the implementation of major construction tasks and the achievement of key capability indicators. Managing the relationship between development and regulation is a fundamental principle, and regulation is a necessary guarantee. Without effective scientific supervision, development may lose direction, deviate from the track, and even lay serious hidden dangers. Therefore, in promoting the "14th Five Year Plan" for the construction of our military, in order to achieve high-quality development of national defense and the military, we must adhere to the equal emphasis on development and supervision, ensuring that the two promote and complement each other. Strengthen regulatory awareness and establish a sound regulatory mechanism. Regulation is not meant to constrain development, but to better safeguard it and promote sustainable development. We need to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation process of the plan, improve the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of fund utilization, better play the service and promotion functions of supervision in the execution of the plan, and ensure that every construction task can be carried out in a standardized, orderly, scientific and effective manner according to the requirements of the plan. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the supervision of key areas and key links, timely discover and correct existing problems, prevent small problems from gradually turning into big problems, and ensure that the quality, ability, and integrity of the planning and completion are guaranteed. Innovate regulatory methods to improve overall regulatory efficiency. With the continuous advancement of national defense and military modernization construction, the tasks and environment faced by supervision are also constantly changing. We need to adapt to the new situation and requirements, build a complete and effective regulatory system, innovate regulatory methods and approaches, strengthen integrated supervision and joint auditing, fully leverage the role of information technology in regulation, timely discover and solve problems through data analysis and intelligent warning, and achieve real-time dynamic monitoring of key projects in our military's 14th Five Year Plan. Handling the relationship between planning execution and capability formation is complementary in promoting the "14th Five Year Plan" process of our military construction. Planning execution and capability formation complement each other. We need to closely integrate the execution of planning with the formation of capabilities, so that every step of planning execution focuses on promoting the formation of capabilities, and dynamically adjusts the relevant content of planning according to the actual needs of capability formation, making the planning more in line with the goals of capability formation. Planning and execution are the solid foundation for the formation of abilities, and we must adhere to the goal oriented approach to ensure implementation. Planning leads the direction of construction, which is the "big picture" of development and the "iron rule" of action. To establish a scientific planning and execution mechanism, strengthen the authority and seriousness of planning, clarify the priority and timetable of various construction tasks, and ensure that every aspect of the plan can be implemented. To establish an effective supervision and evaluation system, regular inspections and evaluations of the implementation of plans should be conducted to promptly identify and solve problems, ensuring that the implementation of plans does not deviate from the predetermined goals. Ability formation is the long-term goal of planning and implementation, and we must adhere to the problem oriented approach to ensure implementation. Our military's 14th Five Year Plan always focuses on the fundamental requirement of being able to fight and win battles, and is committed to comprehensively improving our capabilities and qualities. We must firmly grasp the formation of capabilities as a top priority, focus on key areas and key links such as strategic strength and the construction of new domain and new quality combat forces, increase scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the modernization of military theory, military organizational form, military personnel, and weapons and equipment, and continuously improve the practical level of the troops and their comprehensive ability to respond to various complex situations.
