The country has won the victory in the battle against poverty, built up a moderately prosperous society in all respect as scheduled, and accomplished the First Centenary Goal.

公有制为主体、多种所有制经济共同发展，按劳分配为主体、多种分配方式并存。
In China’s basic socialist economic system, the public ownership plays the dominant role with ownership in multiple forms developing together. While distribution according to work being the mainstay, distribution in other forms exist alongside.
社会主义市场经济体制等社会主义基本经济制度，是中国共产党和人民的伟大创造，是中国特色社会主义制度的重要支柱，是中国国家制度和国家治理体系的一大显著优势。
The basic socialist economic system, including the socialist market economy, is a great innovation of the CPC and the Chinese people. They are also important pillars of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Moreover, they embody significant advantages of China’s national institutions and governance system.
民营经济作为中国经济制度的内在要素，始终是坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的重要经济基础；始终是中国共产党长期执政必须团结和依靠的重要力量。
As an inherent part of China’s economic system, the private sector will always be a vital economic foundation which China must uphold and develop in its socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it will always be an important force which the CPC must unite and rely upon during its long-term governance.
