The Scientific Outlook on Development incorporatesscientific socialism,sustainable development,social welfare,ahumanisticsociety, increased democracy, and, ultimately, the creation of aSocialist Harmonious Society.According to official statements by the CCP, the concept integrates "Marxismwith the reality of contemporary China and with the underlying features of our times, and it fully embodies the Marxist worldview on and methodology for development. "[1]

The ideology is lauded by the Chinese government as a successor and extension ideology toMarxism–Leninism,Mao Zedong Thought,Deng Xiaoping Theoryand theThree Represents.It was ratified into theCCP constitutionat the17th Party Congressin October 2007, and to the preamble of theChinese Constitutionat the first session of the13th National People's Congressin March 2018.

Ideology[edit]

The Scientific Outlook on Development reflected a departure fromJiang Zemin'sThree Representsin that it laid emphasis on correcting the unbalanced growth that had been much more favorable to wealthier, coastal provinces, neglecting the Chinese inland. It also put more emphasis on the masses rather than the elites, according toDavid Shambaugh.[2]

Humanism is at the center of the scientific development concept.[3]The people-oriented concept is "to take the interests of the people as the starting point and end point of all work, to continuously meet people's multifaceted needs and promote the overall development of people."[4]: 50 It includes 4 specific aspects:[5]

  • On the basis of economic development, continuously improve the people's material and cultural living standards and health standards
  • Respect and protect human rights, including the political, economic and cultural rights of citizens
  • Continuously improve people's ideological and moral quality, scientific and cultural quality and health quality
  • Create a social environment where people develop equally and give full play to their intelligence.

The Scientific Outlook on Development aims to address income inequality andenvironmental degradation.[4]: 50 

Development[edit]

On April 15, 2003, Hu Jintao put forward for the first time during his inspection in Guangdong: "We must adhere to a comprehensive outlook on development." On July 28 of the same year, Hu Jintao put forward in a more complete way at the National SARS Prevention and Control Work Conference: "We must better adhere to the development concept of coordinated development, all-round development, and sustainable development." This is considered Scientific Outlook on Development. The first appearance of the term.[6]

On October 14, 2003, at the Third Plenary Session of the Sixteenth Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, Hu Jintao clearly put forward "Adhere to people-oriented, establish a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development concept, and promote the all-round economic, social and human development."[citation needed]The meeting put the spirit of Hu Jintao's speech into the final resolution, and the concept of the scientific development concept was perfected and formally established as one of the ruling ideas of the Chinese Communist Party.[7]

After that, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party quickly organized the "Special Research Class on the Establishment and Implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development by Provincial and Ministerial Leading Cadres". On February 29, 2004, at the completion ceremony of the seminar, Wen Jiabao asked the whole party to "unify thinking and strengthen Establish and conscientiously implement the scientific outlook on development" and raise the scientific outlook on development to the height of the "unified thinking" of the whole party.

On March 10, 2004, Hu Jintao delivered a speech on the scientific outlook on development at the Central Forum on Population, Resources and Environment, "To achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and create a new situation in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must adhere to the implementation of the" Three Representing the "important thinking and the spirit of the 16th National Congress", firmly establish and conscientiously implement the people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development concept, and earnestly grasp development, the party's first priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. ", referring to the scientific development concept Parallel to the" Three Represents ", it is considered to be the most complete and comprehensive exposition of the scientific outlook on development so far.

On November 21, 2007, the Scientific Outlook on Development was written into the Party Constitution at the 17th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party.[8]

Beginning in September 2008, the Politburo of the CCP Central Committee held a meeting on September 5, 2008, and decided to start in September 2008, in about one and a half years, to carry out in-depth study and practice of the scientific concept of development activities throughout the party in batches.

Legacy[edit]

Some observers attribute the political origins of China's low-carbon development strategy to this concept, although some industrial support in low-carbon technology had already begun before Hu's formulation of the Scientific Outlook on Development.[11]: 23 

By around 2005 Hu Jintao was using the Scientific Outlook on Development concept as a catch-all for a wide variety of policies that had no other unifying theme. These included: improving rural areas, speeding up economic growth, using resources efficiently, and more.[2]
