Ma Jiantang, former Party Secretary of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that in the “Proposal” of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, the concept of “putting people first” was extremely prominent. In particular, it was highlighted that the “15th Five-Year Plan” should more closely integrate investment in goods with investment in people. The “Proposal” lays out various tasks relating to the common prosperity of the people. To narrow the income distribution gap, we must keep in mind the steady promotion of common prosperity in high-quality development, and properly handle the relationship between production and distribution; we must firmly grasp the relationship between efficiency and fairness in the socialist market economy. Efficiency still needs to be prioritized. On this basis, we must pay more attention to fairness, firmly handle the relationship between “raising up” and “supporting down”, and focus more on “investing in people” in people's livelihood and disadvantaged groups.
