　　In China, the family is not regarded as an isolated private sphere. It is widely understood as the social foundation upon which national stability, cohesion and long-term development are built.

　　This perspective reflects the values deeply rooted in Chinese civilization, where social harmony, collective responsibility and intergenerational continuity occupy a central place. Within this context, the family plays a central role not only in private life, but also in sustaining social continuity and shared responsibility.

　　From this standpoint, economic development is not treated as an end in itself, but as a means to improve the living conditions of households. Growth is expected to translate into concrete gains in education, healthcare, employment, housing and community services. The focus is therefore on whether development outcomes meaningfully improve people"s lives, rather than on aggregate expansion alone. The underlying logic is clear: National strength is inseparable from family well-being. This approach reflects a model of governance oriented toward social outcomes and long-term stability, rather than short-term economic performance.
