Modernization is the common pursuit of people of all countries in the world and the goal that the Chinese people have been striving for since modern times. After the founding of New China, the Communist Party of China led the people to carry out construction, implement reform and opening up, and continuously explored and practiced towards the goal of modernization. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization, and realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.
What is Chinese-style modernization? In his report, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. It not only has the common characteristics of modernization of various countries, but also has Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. Chinese-style 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.
Chinese-style modernization adheres to the people-centered development philosophy, pays attention to the coordinated development of man and nature, and pays attention to win-win cooperation. This modernization model is rooted in China and is in line with China's reality. It insists on putting national and national development on the basis of its own strength, and firmly grasps the destiny of China's development and progress in its own hands. Serbia Former President Boris Tadic pointed out that China has given new connotations and meanings to the term "modernization" and set an example for other countries.
At the same time, the report clarifies the essential requirements of 9 aspects of Chinese-style modernization - adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to the socialism with Chinese characteristics, realize high-quality development of , develop people's democracy throughout the process, enrich the spiritual world of the people, realize common prosperity for all people, promote harmonious coexistence between mankind and nature, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and create a new form of human civilization. This covers all aspects of economy, politics, culture, social and ecological civilization, and provides a guide to action for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
Looking around the world, China has completed the industrialization process that developed countries have experienced in hundreds of years in just a few decades, creating two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. The practice and experience of Chinese-style modernization have made important contributions to human modernization and provided new choices.
data shows that in the past decade, China's GDP has increased from 53.9 trillion yuan to 114.4 trillion yuan, accounting for 11.3% of the world economy to 18.5%, and the average contribution rate to world economic growth has reached 38.6%, exceeding the sum of the contribution rate of the G7 countries. As the world's largest developing country, , Chinese-style modernization practice itself is a huge contribution to the world.
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clarified the two-step strategic arrangements for building a modern socialist country in all respects. At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the next five years will be a critical period for the start of the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country" and made it clear that "high-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way." Kazakhstan China Trade Promotion Association President Hanat Bysek believes that Chinese-style modernization will drive China to achieve new economic and social development achievements and bring more new opportunities for cooperation and development to developing countries.
At the same time, the Chinese-style modernization path has expanded the path for developing countries to move towards modernization.Since Western countries took the lead in achieving modernization, some Western theorists claimed that "modernization is equal to Westernization", and as a result, some developing countries that use the Western model are not adapted to the local environment and are in trouble. The successful practice of Chinese-style modernization shows that modernization is not a patent of the West. Every country can also achieve leapfrog development if it finds a modernization path that suits its national conditions.
Chinese-style modernization emphasizes "taking the path of peaceful development", advocates exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, breaks the so-called "clash of civilizations theory" in the West, creates a new form of inclusive human civilization, and promotes world peace and development. British scholar Martin Jacques commented that China provides the world with a "new possibility", which is to abandon the law of the jungle , not engage in power and dominate, surpass the zero-sum game , and open up a new path of civilized development with win-win cooperation and joint construction and sharing.
There is neither a modernization model set for one, nor a universal modernization standard. Today, China is advancing at the same time that new industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization are being promoted simultaneously, and material civilization, political civilization, political civilization, , spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization are developing in a coordinated manner. The path of Chinese-style modernization will develop itself and benefit the world, and will surely become wider and wider!
