General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Looking one's own way is the whole theoretical and practical foothold of the Party, and it is also the historical conclusion drawn by the Party's 100 years of struggle. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental achievement achieved by the Party and the people through untold hardships and huge costs. It is the correct path for to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization, create a new path of Chinese modernization, and create a new form of human civilization." Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era profoundly answers major issues of the times such as what kind of socialist modernization power to build and how to build a socialist modernization power, and become a new guide for us to firmly follow the path of Chinese modernization.
The Party led the people to successfully embark on the path of Chinese-style modernization
As latecomers and latecomers of modernization, modern China has been bullied by those modern pioneers and has fallen into a difficult situation where the country is humiliated, the people are distressed, and civilization is covered with dust. In order to get rid of this difficult situation, the advanced Chinese people carried out continuous exploration, from Westernization Movement to Reform Movement , to New Deals at the end of the Qing Dynasty and Xinhai Revolution . The efforts made by some advanced Chinese people are extremely strong and the changes they have made are resolute, but they have all failed one after another.
How can we truly save the country and the people, strengthen the country and enrich the people, make China stand independent among the nations of the world, and become a prosperous country that continues to advance in the process of modernization? China urgently needs new ideas to lead the national salvation movement, urgently needs new organizations to gather revolutionary forces, and urgently needs to explore new paths to change its destiny.
A cannon in the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China. In the great awakening of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and in the close integration of Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers' movement, the Communist Party of China came into being. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese nation and the Chinese people have truly embarked on the right path to realize great rejuvenation. Even from the perspective of the time, this path was obviously different from the Western capitalist country , and was obviously different from other colonial semi-colonial countries. Compared with the socialist paths of countries such as the Soviet Union, it also has its own distinctive characteristics. It can be said that the construction of the Chinese-style modernization path not only conforms to the inevitability of history, but also reflects the active selectivity of the subject, which is a firm choice made by the Chinese Communists after grasping the inevitability of history.
After long-term efforts, the Chinese nation and the Chinese people have ushered in a great leap from "standing up", "being rich" to "being strong". The key to making such a leap is that the Communist Party of China unites and leads the people to continue to struggle, creates good conditions, and lays a solid foundation. Especially entering a new era, under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, our Party united and led the people to overcome many problems that have not been solved for a long time, accomplished many major and important things that are related to the long term, withstand the risks and challenges from politics, economy, ideology, nature and other aspects, and promote the cause of the Party and the country to achieve historic achievements and undergo historic changes. It is also in such historic achievements and historic changes that the Chinese-style modernization path that sprouted in the revolutionary era and shaped in the construction and reform era has emerged, and the beautiful scene of "the scenery is the only one here" is presented to the world.
The third historical resolution of the Party emphasized, "Over the past hundred years, the Party has not only seeks happiness for the Chinese people, rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, but also seeks progress for mankind and unity for the world. With its unremitting struggle to improve itself, the Party has profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development. The Party has led the people to successfully embark on the path of Chinese modernization, created a new form of human civilization, and expanded the path for developing countries to modernize, providing new choices for countries and nations in the world that want to accelerate development and maintain their own independence."
After long-term efforts, my country has become the world's second largest economy, the largest industrial country, the largest commodity trading country, and the largest foreign exchange reserve country. The GDP of reached 114.4 trillion yuan, the per capita GDP of exceeded US$12,000, the urbanization rate exceeded 60%, and the middle-income group exceeded 400 million. Building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and winning the battle against poverty on schedule has taken a new step forward, achieving a new leap from falling behind the times to catching up with the times, and also accumulating strong potential for embarking on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, laying a solid foundation for our country to march towards the second centenary goal.

The reason why the Chinese-style modernization path was established and forged in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is mainly because the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core is based on the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century, deeply grasped the changes in the main contradictions in our society, took the people's yearning for a better life as the goal, put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas and new strategies, stimulated the new vitality of the cause of the Party and the country, and the new vitality of the general public, and guided us to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects as scheduled and achieve the first centenary goal, providing a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more proactive spiritual strength for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Walking on the road of Chinese-style modernization, especially after long-term efforts, The great struggle since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has significantly enhanced the balance, coordination and sustainability of China's economic development in the new era. The country's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength have reached a new level, becoming the world's second largest economy, the largest industrial country, the largest commodity trading country, and the largest foreign exchange reserve country. The GDP reached 114.4 trillion yuan and the per capita GDP exceeded 12,000 US dollars. The people's living standards have significantly improved, and the world's largest education system, social security system, and medical and health system have been built, etc. History and reality have fully proved that the Chinese-style modernization path is the correct modernization path to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and is an inevitable choice for historical logic and practical logic.
Chinese-style modernization path is getting wider and wider
The path to modernization of human society is diverse, more than one. So far, there are many models for human society to achieve modernization:
First, the Western modernization model represented by European and American countries. This model adopts an economic system with private ownership as the main body, and establishes political and judicial systems such as separation of powers, rotation of political parties, and judicial independence in politics. The mainstream Western society and theories mistakenly believe that there is and only this path for human modernization.
Second, the modernization model of the Soviet Union and some Eastern European countries. This model adopts a planned economic system economically and is highly centralized politically. Although this model realizes the process of industrialization, with the occurrence of drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the model has failed.
Number 3. The East Asian modernization model represented by " Asian Four Little Dragons ". This model combines the strong government system with the market economic system and embarks on a modern East Asia path.
Fourth, China's modernization model. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, my country has combined the basic principles of Marxism with China's reality, forming a unique Chinese modernization model and modernization path, which has received widespread attention and recognition from home and abroad.
Road determines destiny, and the road leads the future. Building a modern and powerful country is the goal pursued by the Chinese Communists, and the Chinese-style modernization path is the only and correct way to build a modern and powerful country. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "my country has many important characteristics to build socialist modernization. There is neither a modernization model set in one place nor a universal modernization standard. The modernization we are promoting has the common characteristics of modernization of various countries, and also has the Chinese characteristics based on national conditions.my country's modernization is a modernization with a huge population size, a modernization of common prosperity for all people, a modernization that coordinates material civilization and spiritual civilization, a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and a modernization of the path of peaceful development. "He further pointed out that "Chinese-style modernization is in line with China's reality, reflects the laws of socialist construction, and also reflects the laws of human social development. We must unswervingly promote Chinese-style modernization, promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and continuously make new and greater contributions to mankind. "
Chinese-style modernization focuses on the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and emphasizes green and sustainable development. In recent years, Rongcheng City, Shandong Province has adhered to the concept of high-quality green development, promoted the development of green economic industries such as wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation, optimized the energy structure, and helped promote carbon peak carbon neutrality, and achieved ecological protection and sustainable development. The picture shows that wind turbines are operating near the northern bay of Rongcheng City on August 24, 2021. Photo by Li Xinjun
emphasizes that the modern road, or the modern Chinese style, will never go out of date. China is a big country, and must not make up for it on fundamental issues. Once it occurs, it will be irreversible and irreparable. As a result, it has more than 1.4 billion A big country with a population, China is the process of achieving modernization of a socialist modern country. We must not make subversive mistakes in fundamental directions and fundamental issues. To build a socialist modern country, we must firmly believe in the path of socialism, theory, system, and culture with Chinese characteristics, and firmly follow the path of Chinese modernization. In July 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at a special seminar for provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres, "The modernization we promote is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. We must adhere to the promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, neither follow the old path of closure and rigidity, nor follow the evil path of changing flags and changing banners, insist on putting the development of the country and nation on the basis of our own strength, and firmly grasp the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands. "
In this regard, on the one hand, the construction of a socialist modern power must adhere to reform and opening up, and resist the "old path of closed and rigidity". In 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out in his speech in the South that if China does not follow the path of reform and opening up, and takes any other path, there will be only a dead end. On the new journey of building a socialist modern power, we must continue to adhere to reform and opening up, and resist returning to the "old path" before reform and opening up. History has proved that the "old path of closed and rigidity" will not push China to modernize, nor will it lead China to achieve the goal of building a strong country. my country's 40 years of modernization construction practice has shown that reform and opening up is a key move that determines the fate of contemporary China and is also the source of motivation for the construction of a socialist modern power. We must unswervingly deepen reform and opening up and inject inexhaustible impetus into building a socialist modern power.
On the other hand, the construction of a modern power must avoid copying and copying, has fully westernized , resisting the "evil path of changing flags and changing banners". The lessons of the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe show that abandoning the socialist principle and taking the evil path of capitalism will make the people pay a heavy price. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once pointed out: Our modernization construction must start from China's reality. Whether it is revolution or construction, we must pay attention to learning and learning from foreign experience. However, copying the experiences and models of other countries will never be successful. We have learned a lot of lessons in this regard. After the end of the Cold War, many developing countries were forced to adopt the modernization model of the West. As a result, party struggles, social unrest, and people are displaced, it is difficult to stabilize until now.
It should be pointed out that as a holistic and systematic strategic goal, the construction of a socialist modern power is composed of many subsystem goals of a strong country, with high standards, realm and requirements.It is a collection of strong manufacturing power, strong science and technology power, strong quality power, strong aerospace power, strong cyber power, strong transportation power, strong , strong marine power, strong , strong trading power, strong sport power, cultural power, strong education power and talent power; it is also a collection of beautiful China , safe China, healthy China, digital China, innovative country, learning power, responsible power, peaceful power, smart society, etc.; it is also a collection of unified countries, because promoting the reunification of the motherland is the fundamental interest of the Chinese nation and is the strategic support for realizing the rejuvenation of the nationality.
It should also be noted that my country's modernization process has significant differences compared with the modernization process of Western countries. The modernization process of Western countries is a "connected" development process, with industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and informatization developing in sequence, and the modernization process took more than 200 years. my country's modernization process is highly compressed in time and space, and is a "parallel" process. It is necessary to promote the superposition of industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, but also to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and realize the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
Under the premise of historical inheritance, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated in his report of the 19th National Congress that the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country can be arranged in two stages: the first stage, from 2020 to 2035, on the basis of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, strive for another fifteen years to basically realize socialist modernization; the second stage, from 2035 to the middle of this century, on the basis of basically realizing modernization, strive for another fifteen years to build our country into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern country.
Under the conditions when human society enters a risky society, the superposition of the modernization process contains more risks and vulnerabilities. This requires strengthening the Party’s leadership over the construction of a socialist modern power, integrating the wisdom and strength of the Party, government, military, civilians, education, and all aspects of the East, West, South, North and Central, coordinate development and security, and promoting the construction of a strong country. In particular, we must strengthen the construction of relevant decision-making deliberative and coordination agencies of the Party Central Committee, improve the Party’s leadership system and mechanism for the construction of a modern and powerful country, and strengthen the top-level design, overall layout, coordinate, overall promotion, and supervise implementation.
The Chinese people rely on their wisdom and sweat to build a rich and beautiful home on the land of China, create colorful cultures, and realize the well-off life they have always dreamed of. To be happy, you must strive. China has a vast territory and a large population. If it wants to develop and revitalize, the most important thing is to base itself on national conditions and go its own way. Practice shows that the road to Chinese-style modernization is getting wider and wider, and will better develop itself and benefit the world.
On the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching towards the second centenary goal, the whole Party must hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the guidance of the latest achievements in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, strengthen confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and unswervingly advance the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must firmly grasp the Party’s central tasks in the new era and new journey, put forward new ideas, new strategies and new measures, continue to coordinate the promotion of the “five-in-one” overall layout of , coordinate the promotion of the “four comprehensive” strategic layout, work hard, move forward bravely, unite and strive to write a new chapter in the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
Chinese-style modernization path has made new contributions to mankind's exploration of the modernization path
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "The Communist Party of China will unite and lead the Chinese people to deepen the promotion of Chinese-style modernization and make new contributions to mankind's exploration of the modernization path." The Communist Party of China insists on starting from reality in everything and leads the Chinese people to explore the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
History and practice have and will further prove that this path is not only right and easy, but also can be steadily and well. We will unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, both developing ourselves and benefiting the world.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Looking one's own way is the whole theoretical and practical foothold of the Party, and it is also the historical conclusion drawn by the Party's 100 years of struggle. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental achievement achieved by the Party and the people through untold hardships and huge costs. It is the correct path for to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

History and practice have and will further prove that this path is not only right and easy, but also can be steadily and well. We will unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, both developing ourselves and benefiting the world.
He pointed out, "The road of modernization does not have a fixed model. The best one is suitable for oneself, and one cannot be used to suit one's feet. Every country's efforts to independently explore the modernization path that conforms to its national conditions should be respected. The Communist Party of China is willing to exchange and learn from the experience of modernization construction with political parties of all countries, jointly enrich the path to modernization, and better seek happiness for its people and people of all countries in the world."
The path of Chinese-style modernization has great theoretical significance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The modernization we are promoting has both the common characteristics of modernization of all countries and the Chinese characteristics based on national conditions." Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era emphasizes the promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and profoundly explains the five distinct characteristics of Chinese-style modernization.
In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the proposal of the Chinese-style modernization theory with these five distinct characteristics as the core has made the Chinese-style modernization path we must adhere to now and in the future have more distinctive characteristics, clearer in direction, more prominent in advantages, and significantly enhanced in self-confidence. Any other temptation and delusion will be difficult to shake the confidence and determination of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people to adhere to the path of Chinese-style modernization. It is precisely based on these five distinct characteristics that based on the reality of China's modernization and looking at the world's modernization, the Chinese-style modernization path has significant theoretical significance.
High-speed rail is an important symbol of transportation modernization and an important manifestation of a country's industrialization level. In 1909, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed; in 2019, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway was opened to traffic. From the breakthrough of independent design and construction to the world's most advanced level, from a speed of 35 kilometers per hour to 350 kilometers per hour, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Line has witnessed the development of China's railways and the leap of China's comprehensive national strength.

Chinese-style modernization fully demonstrates to the world in theory that although modernization is a global trend and realizing modernization is the common yearning of people of all countries, modernization cannot and should not be forced to be the same. Due to different national conditions, different history and culture, there is neither a modernization model set in one place nor a universal modernization standard. At the same time, the practice of human modernization also shows that some latecomer countries blindly copy the so-called standard model of modernization, and eventually fall into various traps and are unable to extricate themselves. Middle income trap , dependency traps and other phenomena have seriously occurred in many countries that follow the path of Western modernization, causing extremely serious economic and social problems, and the lessons have been profound.
also needs to realize that even in Western countries that have created the so-called modernization model, their modernization cannot be said to be the standard answer to modernization. Various existing problems, such as polarization, materialism expansion, ecological deterioration, external expansion and plunder, essentially require profound review and theoretical reflection. Chinese-style modernization theoretically proves that human modernization is not only the only way to Westernization, and the Western modernization path is not a reasonable way to modernize humans.
Chinese-style modernization path has important practical significance. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and an important feature of Chinese modernization. What we mean by common prosperity is the common prosperity of all people, the wealth of the people's material and spiritual life, not the wealth of a few people, nor is it a uniform egalitarianism."
Faced with the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has continuously deepened its understanding of the laws of the Communist Party's governance, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development with great historical initiative, great political courage, and strong sense of responsibility, and made a "two-step" strategic arrangement for the comprehensive building of a modern socialist country, issued a series of major policies, introduced a series of major measures, promoted a series of major work, overcome a series of major risks and challenges, and led and promoted socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era to achieve great achievements.
There is no doubt that these achievements have profoundly benefited the Chinese people.Our Party has always adhered to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, adhered to the people-centered development philosophy, focused on meeting the people's growing needs for a better life, increased efforts to make up for the shortcomings in people's livelihood security, solve the urgent and difficult problems of the people, do our best and do what we can, do one thing after another, year after year, and continue to work hard to educate children, educate students, work income, medical care for sick people, care for the elderly, housing, and support for the weak, improve people's lives in all aspects, and make solid progress towards achieving common prosperity for all people.
At the same time, it is unquestionable that China's achievements in the new era have also greatly benefited the world. We adhere to the concepts of equality, mutual trust, inclusiveness and mutual learning, win-win cooperation and common development, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, promote the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" high-quality development, promote the implementation of the Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative, develop ourselves not only by maintaining world peace, but also by maintaining world peace through its own development, and work together with all progressive forces in the world to contribute wisdom and strength to the progress of human civilization. From this we can see that taking the path of Chinese-style modernization has enabled China in the new era to continue to develop and strengthen, allowing the people of the new era to gain more benefits, and at the same time contributes positive energy and stability to the whole world.
stands on a vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, sucking the cultural nutrients accumulated by the Chinese nation's long struggle, and possessing the tremendous power of the aggregation of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. We take the path of Chinese modernization with both historical and realistic basis, theoretical guidance and practical support, and both Chinese characteristics and world significance. By adhering to the path of Chinese modernization, we will surely be able to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
