Chinese modernization is a modern development path that is always committed to creating peace and development. "The Chinese people should build a modern socialist country, but we insist on the path of peaceful development, and will not follow the path of expansionism and colonialism, nor will we cause chaos to the world." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words were loud and clear.

is different from the modernization path of some old-fashioned capitalist countries that violently plunder colonies and lag behind other countries. China's modernization is socialist modernization, emphasizing mutual benefit and win-win results with countries around the world, promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and striving to make new and important contributions to the peaceful development and progress of mankind.

Over the past decade, we have comprehensively promoted major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, firmly safeguarded international fairness and justice, advocated the practice of true multilateralism, and clearly opposed all hegemony and power politics, and unswervingly opposed any unilateralism, protectionism, and bullying.

We promote the construction of a new type of international relations, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, comprehensively carry out international cooperation in fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and won wide international praise. my country's international influence, appeal and shaping power have been significantly improved.

is different from Western

Looking back at history, starting from the 15th century, Western countries have made global navigation explorations, conquering nations with advanced weapons, establishing spheres of influence around the world, and plundering colonies. Marx once said: "The treasures obtained directly from plunder, enslavement and murder and robbery outside Europe flowed into the sect leader country and were converted into capital here."

18th century, major inventions such as steam engine appeared in Europe, which made the first industrial revolution , and started the process of modernization of human society. Modernization was almost born with Western industrial civilization, and Western countries enslaved and oppressed the vast majority of colonial semi-colonial countries to help them achieve modernization.

"Since capital came to the world, from head to toe, every pore dripped with blood and dirty things." According to statistics, since the end of the 15th century, Western colonists have stolen 2.5 million kilograms of gold and 100 million kilograms of silver from Central and South America alone for more than 300 years.

The " Encirclement Movement " in the United States, the " Westward Movement " in the United States, and the sinful slave trade, are marked with the "original sin" of Western capitalist modernization. The history of modernization of Western countries is a bloody and tears history of the exploitation and oppression of backward countries and nations in the world, and a history of development that excludes, curbs and squeezes foreigners, especially those that form competition.

1840 After the Opium War, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The country was humiliated, the people were distressed, and civilization was covered with dust. The Chinese nation suffered unprecedented disasters. Modern China has become a test ground for the Western bourgeoisie to take turns to take action. Westernization Movement , Reform Movement , 1991 Revolution , 1911 Revolution and other attempts and explorations to find a path of modern development, but none of them have been successful.

Practice has proved that in China, a large oriental country with a vast territory, a large population and a complex national conditions, we must explore a modernization path that suits us.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the modernization we build must have Chinese characteristics and conform to China's reality. The modernization we are promoting has both the common characteristics of modernization of various countries and the Chinese characteristics based on national conditions.

The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a prosperous road to create a better life for the people and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As long as we unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we will surely be able to build our country into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power.

Adhering to an independent and peaceful foreign policy and adhering to the path of peaceful development is our party’s consistent policy and proposition. If China wants to develop, it ultimately depends on ourselves. Looking back on the century-old struggle, our party has always adhered to independence and self-development of the road ahead, insisted on putting national and national development on the basis of its own strength, and insisted that China's affairs must be decided by the Chinese people themselves and handled by themselves.

Focus on the world

At present, the changes in the world, the changes in the times, and the changes in history are unfolding in unprecedented ways.

The world's major changes that have not been seen in a century are accelerating, and the world has entered a new period of turbulent and change. The haze of the epidemic in the century has not dissipated, and local conflicts have revived. The Cold War thinking and group politics have revived, unilateralism and protectionism have risen, and economic globalization has encountered a headwind, and the peace deficit, development deficit, trust deficit and governance deficit have increased. Human society is standing at a crossroads and facing unprecedented challenges.

Faced with the world question of "what is wrong with the world, what should we do?", President Xi Jinping systematically explained the theoretical connotation and goal path of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and advocated the construction of a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, and cleanliness and beautiful.

"Let the torch of peace be passed down from generation to generation, let the driving force for development continue, and let the light of civilization shine brightly is the expectation of the people of all countries and the responsibility of our generation of politicians." President Xi Jinping conveys common values ​​in a firm tone and powerful way, puts forward and shares profound thoughts, and demonstrates responsibility.

In March 2013, President Xi Jinping first proposed to the world during his visit to Russia that mankind has become increasingly "a community with a shared future in which you have me and I have you."

· On March 22, 2013, President Xi Jinping held talks with Russian President Putin at the Kremlin of Moscow. During his visit to Russia, President Xi Jinping proposed to the world for the first time that mankind has become increasingly "a community with a shared future with me and I have you."

The journey of the great way is the public. We always adhere to openness and not closure, adhere to mutual benefit and win-win, and not engage in zero-sum game, adhere to upholding justice and upholding justice, maintain and practice true multilateralism, and resolutely oppose unilateralism, protectionism, hegemony, and power politics, stand on the right side of history and on the side of human progress.

Peaceful development is the beautiful aspiration and fundamental interests of the Chinese people. In December 2017, a high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China and the world political parties was held in Beijing. General Secretary Xi Jinping told guests from all countries: "From 1921 to 1949, in order to achieve peace and stability in China and the Chinese people live and work in peace and contentment, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to carry out a 28-year armed struggle and made great sacrifices. Therefore, the Chinese Communists are well aware of the value of peace and have the firm determination to maintain peace."

After decades of rapid development, China's total economic output has ranked second in the world. In March 2014, President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech in Berlin at the invitation of the Colber Foundation in Germany, telling the world: "In the face of China's growing up, some people are beginning to worry, and some people always look at China with tinted glasses, believing that China's development will inevitably be a 'threat', and even portrayed China as a terrible 'Mephisto' (the devil in the work of Goethe Goethe's Goethe's work "Faust". It seems that one day China will absorb the soul of the world." "Looking at human history, what is often isolated from people is not the mountains and rivers, not the deep seas, but the barriers of people's mutual cognition.”

· On March 28, 2014, President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech in Berlin at the invitation of the Colber Foundation of Germany. This is the question of President Xi Jinping's executive vice chairman Weimeier after the speech.

On November 19, 2018, on the eve of the state visit to Philippines , President Xi Jinping published a signed article in local media, which wrote: "We will adhere to the path of peaceful development and always be the anchor of peace and stability in the world and the Asia-Pacific region. ”

In November 2021, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed the "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centennial Struggle", which profoundly summarized the top ten historical experiences of the Communist Party of China's 100 years of struggle, one of which is "adhering to the world": "As long as we adhere to the path of peaceful development, develop ourselves by maintaining world peace, and maintain world peace through our own development, and work with all the progressive forces in the world, not rely on others, do not plunder others, and never seek hegemony, we will be able to continuously contribute wisdom and strength to the progress of human civilization, and work with the people of all countries in the world to push the wheel of history towards a bright future. "

Mutual benefit and win-win

For more than two centuries, Western developed countries have experienced a "connected" modernization process, with industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and informatization developing in sequence. This modern development system and model that is first constructed and dominated has monopolized the process of world modernization development, and late-developed countries are very likely to passively be involved in the modernization process. It is conceivable how difficult it is to realize modernization independently. After the end of

After the end of World War II , although many countries successfully escaped the colonial rule of Western countries, the end of colonialism does not mean the demise of Western hegemony.

Recently, the US military stole oil in Syria and smuggled it to the US military base in Iraq , which aroused public outrage in the international community. Oil is related to national economy and people's livelihood And important strategic materials for industrialization and modernization, Syria, which has suffered from war, has been deprived of the momentum of independent development.

In the historical logic of "a strong country must be hegemony", Western countries use their hegemony to promote and sell their modernization concepts. Many developing countries simply copy and copy the Western model, which not only makes the governments and political parties of these countries lack the ability to effectively lead economic and social development, but also makes the economy controlled by foreign capital, the regime become a vassal of Western countries, and the social gap between the rich and the poor. Intensified.

The example set by China's modernization road has given more developing countries the courage and confidence to independently explore the modernization road.

··On October 1, 2022, at the construction site of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway Train Depot in Bandung, West Java Province, Indonesia. The Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is a landmark project for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road Initiative" between China and Indonesia.

On September 24, 2022, China's State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wang Yi's speech at the general debate of the 77th United Nations General Assembly attracted much attention. He said: "President Xi Jinping pointed out that countries around the world are riding on a ship with a shared future. To cross the stormy waves and sail towards a bright future, they must work together. A sustainable world should carry colorful civilizations, and the modernization of mankind should be compatible with diverse roads. Peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom are the common values ​​of all mankind. Institutional differences should not be the reasons for creating division, and democracy and human rights should not be politicized, instrumentalized, or weaponized. We should abandon the ideology markings, unite to unite to gather the greatest common divisor to promote world peace and development, and draw the largest concentric circle."

These words express the voices of many representatives of countries. After the debate, the venue was filled with representatives from various countries, waiting to exchange greetings with Chinese representatives such as Wang Yi.

So far, the population of countries and regions that have achieved modernization in the world is about 1 billion.China has a vast land area, a huge population size and a huge regional difference. It is a global and century-old problem to achieve modernization in such a super-large country.

China's modernization will create a miracle in human history and is a major event in the process of world modernization.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that our world's largest developing country has achieved modernization, which means that the Chinese people, who are more than the total population of all developed countries, will enter the ranks of modernization, and its impact will be global.

At the second plenary session of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, when talking about drawing wisdom and strength from the party's struggle, General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "Around July 1st this year, we received more than 1,500 congratulatory letters from more than 600 political parties and political organizations in more than 170 countries. The Summit on Leaders of the Communist Party of China and the World Political Party held in July included leaders of more than 500 political parties and political organizations in more than 160 countries, more than 10,000 political parties and representatives from all walks of life. Our party’s leadership has not only created an economy that is rare in the world. Rapid development and long-term social stability, and have successfully embarked on the path of Chinese-style modernization and created a new form of human civilization. These unprecedented innovations have solved many problems in the development of human society, abandoned the Western capital-centered modernization, polarized modernization, materialist expansion modernization, and external expansion and plundering old modernization paths, expanded the path for developing countries to move towards modernization, and provided a Chinese solution for mankind to explore a better social system. "

China must base itself on China's reality and comprehensively promote modernization. my country's development is a "parallel" process, and industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization are superimposed. The successful practice of Chinese-style modernization shows that there is more than one road to modernization. As long as you combine the actual situation of your own country and walk your own path, you will definitely be able to achieve modernization.
