Since the reform and opening up, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and guided by the Party's policies, China's private economy has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and has continuously developed and expanded. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the continuous advancement of comprehensive deepening reforms, China's policy system supporting the development of the private economy has become more refined. Several policy documents, such as the "Opinions on Creating a Better Development Environment to Support the Reform and Development of Private Enterprises" and the "Opinions on Promoting the Development and Expansion of the Private Economy," have been issued, effectively promoting the sustained, healthy, and high-quality development of the private economy. The private economy has become an indispensable force in driving China's development, serving as the main area for entrepreneurship and employment, an important entity for technological innovation, and a significant source of national tax revenue. It has played a crucial role in the development of China's socialist market economy, the transformation of government functions, the transfer of rural surplus labor, and the exploration of international markets. Practice has fully demonstrated that the private economy is a vital force in advancing Chinese-style modernization, an important foundation for high-quality development, and a significant force in promoting the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Currently, influenced by various domestic and international factors, the development of the private economy is facing some difficulties and challenges. However, it is important to recognize that these difficulties and challenges generally arise during the process of reform and development, and industrial transformation and upgrading. They are partial rather than overall, temporary rather than long-term, and surmountable rather than insurmountable. Moreover, in the new era and on the new journey, China's social productivity will continue to leap forward, the standard of living will steadily improve, and reform and opening up will be further comprehensively deepened. In particular, the rapid development of education and technology, a large and high-quality talent pool and labor force, a well-matched industrial and infrastructure system, and the enormous market potential of a population exceeding one billion will bring many new opportunities and provide greater development space for the private economy. The socialist system with Chinese characteristics has multiple significant advantages, and the continuous improvement and perfection of the socialist market economy system and the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics will provide stronger guarantees for the development of the private economy. Private enterprises and entrepreneurs should see the prospects, the light, and the future amidst difficulties and challenges, maintain development resilience, enhance development confidence, and keep the spirit of striving to win.

党的二十届三中全会和年底召开的中央经济工作会议对促进民营经济发展作出了系统部署。在这次座谈会上，习近平总书记明确要求，“扎扎实实落实促进民营经济发展的政策措施，是当前促进民营经济发展的工作重点”，“凡是党中央定了的就要坚决执行，不能打折扣”。要把思想和行动统一到党中央对国内外形势的判断上来，统一到党中央对经济工作的决策部署上来。坚决破除依法平等使用生产要素、公平参与市场竞争的各种障碍；强化执法监督，切实依法保护民营企业和民营企业家合法权益；认真落实各项纾困政策，对企业一视同仁；进一步构建亲清政商关系，统筹抓好促进民营经济发展政策措施的落实。企业是经营主体，企业发展内生动力是第一位的。广大民营企业和民营企业家要满怀创业和报国激情，弘扬企业家精神，坚定做中国特色社会主义的建设者、中国式现代化的促进者；坚定不移走高质量发展之路，不断提高企业质量、效益和核心竞争力；按照中国特色现代企业制度要求完善企业治理结构，重视企业接班人培养；坚持诚信守法经营，以实际行动促进民营经济健康发展；积极履行社会责任，多向社会奉献爱心。

As the spring tide surges, it is the perfect time to set sail. The vast number of private enterprises and entrepreneurs should "harbor the ambition to serve the country, focus wholeheartedly on development, operate lawfully and wisely, and promote common prosperity by leading the way in wealth creation." They should propel the private economy onto a broader stage, making new and greater contributions to advancing Chinese-style modernization.
