General Secretary Xi Jinping recently gave important instructions, pointing out that "Yiwu's small commodities have broken into a large market and developed into a industry, forming the 'Yiwu development experience', which is a successful practice of developing the county-level economy in accordance with local conditions", and emphasizing the need to combine it the study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, to further summarize and apply the "Yiwu development experience" well. The "Yiwu development" embodies a method of doing things and starting businesses based on seeking truth from facts and respecting laws, providing profound enlightenment for all regions to establish and practice a correct view of political achievements promote high-quality development.

Adhering to People-Centeredness: A Correct View of Political Performance Guiding the Path of Development
"For whom is performance achieved?" is a question that every Party member and cadre must answer, and it is the touchstone for testing their Party spirit. Yiwu's transformation from "ex feathers for candy" to a "world supermarket" is a vivid practice of adhering to people-centeredness to create genuine political achievements.
Once the view of political performance deviates from people, development will degenerate into a numbers game, or even alienate into image projects that waste manpower and money. Yiwu has remained unwavering in its commitment to "promoting commerce building the city," providing a platform for millions of business entities, keeping the public interest at heart, putting the people first, not coveting temporary achievements, not seeking false fame maintaining strategic determination in development, and taking the people's sense of gain and happiness as the ultimate standard for measuring development.
The people are the creators of history and the source power for development. The institutional breakthroughs in Yiwu's development process are often not "written" in documents, but "walked out" by the masses in practice. the masses explore new paths, the government does not make decisions for them, but grasps development trends, believes in the people's creativity, removes obstacles through institutional innovation, allows's ideas to grow into towering trees, and lets policies come from the masses and go into the market. Practice has proven that only when the people are kept in mind will they the heavy responsibility of development. The vast number of Party members and cadres should adhere to the principle that development is for the people, relies on the people, and its fruits are shared the people, and write an answer sheet that is worthy of the times and the people by respecting, relying on, and serving the masses
Adhering to a Problem-Oriented Approach: Daring to Explore and Innovate to Activate Development Momentum
Problems are voice of the times and the precursor to reform. Adhering to a problem-oriented approach primarily means facing problems head-on and not avoiding contradictions. Development is never smooth sailing once old contradictions are resolved, new problems may emerge. Yiwu's market started with spontaneous street vending, but problems such as "dirt, disorder, and poor quality and "lack of licenses" existed for a long time. The local government sought development through regulation, taking problem-solving as an opportunity for improvement and enhancement. Daring to face provides the starting point for solving them; being good at discovering problems provides the key to opening up the situation.
Adhering to a problem-oriented approach cannot stop at ""; it must culminate in "resolution." The key to solving problems lies in daring to explore and being good at innovating. Yiwu's market grew larger and larger, problems such as difficulties in export tax rebates, foreign exchange settlement, and customs clearance for small commodities once became important factors restricting development. Yiwu creatively introduced the market procurement trade mode achieving "controllability, fast clearance, and traceability." This innovation was not the product of working behind closed doors, but the result of targeted measures taken after repeatedly researching the points of business operators and carefully analyzing transaction processes. It is precisely this mindset of "wherever the problem is, reform follows" that has allowed Yiwu to break through institutional and constraints time and again, continuously expanding its development space.
Discovering problems requires keen insight, facing problems requires a fearless spirit of responsibility, and solving problems requires superb practical wisdom. difficulties faced by different regions in the development process vary, whether constrained by a single industrial structure, plagued by a shortage of talent resources, or limited by institutional and mechanism obstacles. In, we must always adhere to a problem-oriented approach, identify the breakthrough points, make up for shortcomings, forge development strengths, accumulate new development momentum in the process of solving problems one by one, and lead economic and social development toward a higher-quality and more sustainable new stage.
Adhering to a Systemic Approach: Regional Synergy Plays a Harmonious Symphony of Development
A systemic approach is an important category Marxist epistemology and methodology. The value of the "Yiwu development experience" lies not only in creating market miracles that seem "inexplicable," "out of thin air and "turning stone into gold," but more importantly in Yiwu's conscious application of a systemic approach to coordinate relationships between the local and the overall, the short-term the long-term, the economic and the social, and development and security. By activating overall synergy through regional collaborative development, Yiwu has forged a path of high-quality-level development guided by a systemic approach.
A systemic approach requires predicting directions in a dynamic environment. Yiwu's clear grasp of trade trends is backed by its proactive of changes in international trade rules. With a systemic mindset of "taking one step and looking three steps ahead," it has achieved an upgrade from "buying and selling nationwide" to " and selling globally." Emphasizing urban-rural coordination is an important part of the "Yiwu development experience." A series of powerful measures such as "supporting agriculture with, strengthening agriculture with commerce" and "leading the countryside with the city, promoting urban-rural mutual development" have strongly guaranteed the continuity of Yiwu's development.
iwu's reform and innovation are not simple piecemeal efforts, but follow a clear logic of institutional integration and policy synergy. Throughout its development, it has consistently adhered to principle of government and enterprises working in the same direction and effective industrial linkage, seeking the overall optimum of comprehensive benefits. It is evident that only by adhering to systemic synergy and multi- co-governance can we maintain strategic resolve in complex changes, gather an invincible and powerful synergy, and pave a broader path for entrepreneurship and development
Adhere to Reality: Adapting to Local Conditions to Pave the Way for Endogenous Development
Development must start from actual, and resource endowments are composed of factors such as geographical location, industrial base, cultural traditions, and population structure. Starting from the reality of being neither coastal nor bordering, Yiw took its historical tradition of "small commodity distribution" as a starting point and forged a development path to become the world's largest small commodity market.
Different counties in China vary in terms of natural conditions and industrial bases, so their development paths will inevitably differ. Various regions should refer to and learn from Yiwu's thinking method of starting from advantages and continuously reforming and innovating, forming development models that are each unique and complementary to one another. For example, places with tourism resources can take the path of "cultural and tourism," while places with ecological resources can explore the mechanism of "value enhancement of ecological products."
Adapting to local conditions to pave the way for endogenous development is a concrete application of guiding principle of seeking truth from facts in the field of regional development. It is essential to oppose a one-size-fits-all approach, oppose unrealistic ambitions, and oppose simple. Various regions should learn from the "Yiwu development experience," strengthen their role as the leaders and designers of their own development, and be "deep" in research,accurate" in planning, "resilient" in execution, and "diverse" in evaluation. Especially when evaluating the actual development effectiveness of various regions, one should not simply look at whether numbers are growing, but examine whether they have achieved unique and sustainable development based on their own endowments.
A correct view of political performance guides a correct view of development. In the year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, all regions should be guided by a correct view of political performance, further summarize and apply the "Yiwu development experience grasp the scientific methodology contained therein, base themselves on their own resource endowments, adhere to reform and innovation, work earnestly, persevere over the long term, and explore a path of highquality development that conforms to their own actual conditions.
