Abstract:

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that one of the overall goals for China's development by 2035 is to "ensure that rural areas basically meet the requirements for modern living." Currently, there is a lack of research on this topic, and it is urgent to strengthen related studies. Based on a review of existing policy documents and reports, combined with the characteristics of rural development in China, this paper proposes a scientific connotation of "three dimensions and one integration" for rural areas to basically achieve modern living conditions. On this basis, an evaluation index system covering rural infrastructure, rural public service levels, and rural living conditions is constructed, with target values set for 2035. Comparing these target values, this paper analyzes the main challenges China faces in achieving this goal and proposes strategies to accelerate the process. These strategies mainly include categorically promoting the modernization of key rural infrastructure, substantially improving rural public service levels, and leveraging new quality productive forces to achieve high-quality upgrades in rural living conditions.

Key words: rural areas basically meeting modern living conditions, indicators, strategies
