Thirty-six years ago today, on November 9, 1989 (October 12, 1989 lunar calendar), the Fifth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held. The meeting venue was the Fifth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which was held in Beijing from November 6 to 9, 1989. Previously, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a Central Work Conference from October 30 to November 3 to seriously discuss and study the current economic problems in our country. The Plenary Session reviewed and adopted the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Governance, Rectification and Deepening Reform". The Plenary Session pointed out that in the ten years since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, we have taken economic construction as the center, adhered to the four basic principles, adhered to reform and opening up, sustained development of the national economy, the country's economic strength has been significantly enhanced, the lives of urban and rural residents have been significantly improved, great achievements have been made in various undertakings, and the face of the whole country has undergone profound historical changes. At the same time, there are also many problems and difficulties in the progress of our country's economy. These problems and difficulties have been accumulated over the years. As far as the nature of the difficulties we are currently facing is concerned, they are difficulties in progress, and temporary difficulties can be overcome with complete conditions. The Plenary Session decided that, including this year, it will take three years or longer to basically complete the task of governance and rectification. The main goals of governance and rectification are: to gradually reduce the inflation rate, so that the national retail price increase rate is gradually reduced to less than 10%; to reverse the situation of super-economic issuance of money, and gradually make the current year's currency issuance compatible with the reasonable demand of economic growth; to strive to achieve fiscal balance and gradually eliminate the fiscal deficit; on the basis of efforts to improve economic efficiency, economic quality and scientific and technological level, maintain a moderate economic growth rate, and strive for an average annual growth of 5% to 6% in GDP; to improve the irrational situation of the industrial structure, strive for the gradual growth of the production of major agricultural products, and gradually ease the contradiction between the tight supply of energy and raw materials and the shortage of transportation capacity; to further deepen and improve various reform measures, and gradually establish a macro-control system that is in line with the principle of combining planned economy and market regulation, and comprehensively uses economic, administrative and legal means. The Plenary Session requires that four important links must be grasped in governance and rectification. First, continue to compress the total demand of society, adhere to the policy of tightening finance and credit, solve the problem of excessive distribution of national income, and resolve to live a tight life for a few years. Second, vigorously adjust the industrial structure, increase effective supply, and enhance the potential for economic development. In particular, it is necessary to quickly create a boom in the whole party and the whole country to attach importance to agriculture, support agriculture, and develop agriculture, and make concerted efforts to promote agriculture and ensure the stable growth of major agricultural products such as grain and cotton. Third, seriously rectify the economic order, continue to make great efforts to clean up and rectify various companies, especially those in the circulation field, and overcome the serious chaos in the fields of production, construction, circulation, and distribution. Fourth, carry out in-depth campaigns to increase production and save, increase revenue and expenditure, make efforts to improve the operation and management of enterprises, tap internal potential, improve the level of science and technology, and take the path of economic development with less input, more output, high quality and good results. The Plenary Session stressed that the reform of our country's economic system is the self-improvement of the socialist economic system. We must correctly understand and handle the relationship between governance and rectification and deepening reform. Governance and rectification will not only create necessary conditions for the reform to be carried out in depth and healthily, but also itself needs the cooperation of reform. During the period of concentrating efforts on governance and rectification, reform should be carried out around governance and rectification and serve it. If you are not active in governance and rectification, you will not be active in reform. At present, it is necessary to focus on deepening and improving the reform in the aspects of the enterprise contract management responsibility system, the financial contract system, the financial system, and the foreign trade contract system. It is necessary to continue to adhere to the policy of opening up to the outside world, actively utilize foreign investment and introduce advanced technologies, and expand foreign trade and economic and technological exchanges more effectively. The basic policies and measures of Special Economic Zones and Coastal Open Areas remain unchanged and are gradually improved in practice. The Plenary Session discussed and adopted the "Decision of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Agreeing to Comrade Deng Xiaoping's Resignation as Chairperson of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China". Proceeding from the fundamental interests of the Party and the country, Comrade Deng Xiaoping resigned from his current position when he was still healthy and realized his long-cherished wish of completely retiring from his leadership position, which he repeatedly put forward over the years, showing the broad mind of a great proletarian revolutionary. All the comrades present at the meeting expressed their high respect for the example he personally set for the abolition of cadre leadership positions for life. The Plenary Session spoke highly of Comrade Deng Xiaoping's outstanding contributions to the establishment of our Party and country. Comrade Deng Xiaoping is recognized by the people of all ethnic groups in our country as an outstanding leader who enjoys high prestige and has made significant contributions in all historical periods of the revolution and construction led by the Party. Especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, Comrade Deng Xiaoping became the core of the second generation of our Party's leadership collective.

Under the strong leadership of the leading collective with him as the core, the people of our country have achieved world-renowned achievements in socialist modernization and ushered in a new period in the history of new socialist China. Revolutionary practice over the past few decades shows that Comrade Deng Xiaoping is worthy of being an outstanding Marxist, a firm communist, an outstanding proletarian revolutionary, statesman and strategist, and a time-tested leader of our Party, country and army. The Plenary Session stressed that the series of viewpoints and theories put forward by Comrade Deng Xiaoping in accordance with the principle of combining Marxism-Leninism with China's reality, especially the basic theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, are an important part of Mao Zedong Thought, the inheritance and development of Mao Zedong Thought under new historical conditions, and the precious spiritual wealth of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.
