"Seeking Truth" magazine published an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping, "Chinese-style modernization is a broad road to building a powerful country and national rejuvenation." Central Committee of the Communist Party of China | Magazine | Xi Jinping
The article emphasizes that when a country moves towards modernization, it must not only follow the general laws of modernization, but also conform to its own reality and have its own characteristics. Chinese path to modernization not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has its own distinctive characteristics based on its own national conditions. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly summarized the five aspects of Chinese characteristics of Chinese path to modernization, and profoundly revealed the scientific connotation of Chinese path to modernization. This is not only a theoretical summary, but also a practical requirement, pointing out a broad path for comprehensively building a socialist modernized strong country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The article points out that it requires arduous efforts to turn the Chinese characteristics of Chinese path to modernization into successful practice and to turn distinctive characteristics into unique advantages. Firstly, modernization with a huge population size. This is a prominent feature of Chinese path to modernization. China's population of over 1.4 billion has entered modernization, surpassing the total population of developed countries, which will greatly change the world map of modernization. This is the largest and most difficult modernization in human history. When we think about problems, make decisions, and do things, we must first consider the issue of population base, and take into account the actual differences in development levels between urban and rural areas in China. We cannot aim too high or follow the old ways. We must maintain historical patience, adhere to steady progress, gradual progress, and continuous progress. Secondly, the modernization of common prosperity for all people. This is the essential feature of Chinese path to modernization, and it is also a significant symbol different from western modernization. While promoting high-quality development and doing a good job in expanding the "cake", we should further divide the "cake", so that the achievements of modernization construction can benefit all people more and more fairly, and resolutely prevent polarization. Thirdly, modernization that coordinates material civilization and spiritual civilization. It is the lofty pursuit of Chinese path to modernization to be both material and spiritual. We must adhere to two pronged approach and two pronged approach, promoting the coordination and mutual promotion of material civilization and spiritual civilization. To build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, continuously enrich the spiritual world of the people, improve the level of civilization of the whole society, and promote comprehensive human development. Fourthly, the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Respecting nature, conforming to nature, protecting nature, and promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature are distinctive features of Chinese path to modernization. We must firmly establish and practice the concept that green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets, and support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment. Fifth, modernization that follows the path of peaceful development. Adhering to peaceful development, seeking self-development in the firm maintenance of world peace and development, and better maintaining world peace and development with self-development, and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind are prominent features of Chinese path to modernization. We must always hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, adhere to an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, practice true multilateralism, promote the common values of all mankind, and strive to make greater contributions to human peace and development.
The article emphasizes that since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, we have spent decades completing the industrialization process that developed Western countries have gone through for hundreds of years, creating miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and opening up broad prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Practice has proved that Chinese path to modernization is feasible and stable, which is the only correct way to build a strong country and revive the nation.
