President Xi Jinping says, as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved. What we now face is the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life. This is the latest and the most authoritative description of the principal contradiction facing the Chinese society.

Better life is an upgrade of the current social development in China. After solving the problem of feeding 1.3 billion people, we’re entering a stage of securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and of moving on to all-out efforts to build a great modern socialist country.

The Chinese people are seeking a higher quality of life. For instance, we’re not satisfied with just an average quality of air or drinking water, but a good quality of air and water. We even look for better environment and living conditions. This is the better life we’re talking about today. To me, Better Life reflects the CPC’s continued commitment to our people-centered philosophy of development.

Taking the people's ever-growing needs for a better life as the core task of the CPC, shows how the ruling party is adjusting to China’s current social development.

中国特色社会主义进入新时代,我国社会主要矛盾已经转化为人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾。我国稳定解决了十几亿人的温饱问题,总体上实现小康,不久将全面建成小康社会,人民美好生活需要日益广泛,不仅对物质文化生活提出了更高要求,而且在民主、法治、公平、正义、安全、环境等方面的要求日益增长。同时,我国社会生产力水平总体上显著提高,社会生产能力在很多方面进入世界前列,更加突出的问题是发展不平衡不充分,这已经成为满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要的主要制约因素。
