Common prosperity is not a new concept and has its roots in China’s modern development history. In President Xi Jinping’s article on the “concrete actions to promote common prosperity”, he described the latter as “a general concept that involves all aspects of the society, […] the common prosperity we are pursuing is for all, affluence both in material and spiritual life, but not for a small portion nor for uniform egalitarianism.” This lays down the guiding principle that China’s growth should be people centric and that in the pursue of economic development, no one should be left behind.

Behind this pivotal moment is China’s determination in moving towards a more inclusive and equitable economic and social system.
