The Chinese path to modernization, which the CPC led the Chinese people to successfully promote and expand, shows a new picture different from the western modernization model, profoundly rewrites the world's modernization map, provides valuable experience and enlightenment for developing countries to move towards modernization, and expands the path choice. As a new form of human civilization, all parties are concerned about: what will Chinese path to modernization bring to the world?

From today on, our newspaper and the Foreign Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China jointly launched the column "Chinese path to modernization viewed by foreign party dignitaries and friendly personages", inviting foreign party dignitaries and friendly personages to tell their own stories about Chinese path to modernization, share their observations and thoughts on Chinese path to modernization, and their true feelings about Chinese path to modernization promoting human civilization and common development of mankind.

"China's infrastructure construction has achieved remarkable results, and the achievements of sustainable development are impressive. In China, various new things, new ideas, new technologies, and new trends are constantly emerging, and the Chinese people are working together with people from other countries to create a better future for humanity." South African Communist Party General Secretary Soli Mapela said in a recent interview with our reporter.

Ma Paila has visited China multiple times. In April of this year, he once again led a senior cadre inspection team of the South African Communist Party to visit China, visiting Shaanxi, Shanghai, Beijing and other places. "This visit has witnessed China's development and prosperity, and the breakthroughs China has made in many aspects such as scientific and technological modernization are admirable." Ma Paila said that the improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people, the improvement of the ecological environment, and the continuous acceleration of the modernization process have greatly impressed the members of the inspection team. The CPC is committed to making all people "one cannot fall behind" and has made great achievements worthy of pride.

In Shaanxi, Ma Paila and his delegation visited Yan'an Cadre College, Zaoyuan Revolutionary Site, Liangjiahe, Yangling Agricultural High tech Industry Demonstration Zone, and other places. Along the way, the mountains are lush and lush. "The staff told us that Yan'an City used to suffer from severe soil erosion. Now, the forest coverage rate of this city is 53.07%, and the urban green coverage rate is 42.65%. China has embarked on a path of ecological protection and restoration with Chinese characteristics, and is continuously promoting modernization to achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and nature." Ma Paila said.

"From urban construction to poverty alleviation, we have seen the efforts made by the CPC to meet the people's needs for a better life, which is very commendable." During the visit, Ma felt a lot about the vigorous development of China's economy and society and the happiness and well-being of people's lives. He recalled a visit five years ago: "At that time, we visited Tanbanpo Village, Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and saw that the local people, under the leadership of the Communist Party members, achieved poverty alleviation through the development of modern agriculture. Over the years, the majority of members of the CPC have actively played their subjective initiative to lead the people out of poverty."

"Poverty is a common challenge facing the world. China's practice of getting rid of poverty is a vivid manifestation of the CPC's people-centered approach." Ma Peila said that Chinese path to modernization is a socialist modernization led by the CPC. Adhering to the people-centered approach, it has solved the problem of absolute poverty historically and provided experience for other countries' modernization.

During the visit, Ma Paila visited and visited some high-tech enterprises to gain a comprehensive understanding of China's reform, opening up, and economic and social development. At Zhongdian Technology International Trade Co., Ltd. in Beijing, they saw a bright prospect of digital cooperation between China and Africa; In Shanghai Oriental Beauty Valley, they experienced cutting-edge technology in the biopharmaceutical industry; In Yangling Agricultural High tech Industry Demonstration Zone in Shaanxi, they learned about agricultural scientific and technological innovation and new achievements in smart agriculture... "In recent years, China has made great progress in scientific and technological innovation, and maintained a leading position in some fields in the world. Many of China's scientific and technological innovation achievements not only benefit the Chinese people, but also drive the development of other developing countries. Chinese path to modernization represents the development direction of human civilization progress, showing a new prospect different from the western modernization model. "It not only promotes China's own development, but also provides new opportunities for the development of the world."

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road". From the FAW South Africa Kuha factory to the Nigeria Lekki deep-water port, from the Guinea Keleta hydropower station to the Uganda Albert Lake oilfield, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative has yielded fruitful results in Africa. "These cooperation achievements have promoted the development of infrastructure such as power, ports, roads and airports in many African countries, created a large number of employment opportunities, provided vocational skills training for local employees, and effectively promoted regional economic development." Mapella said that in the process of comprehensively promoting Chinese path to modernization, China has promoted the strengthening of international cooperation to promote the common development of all countries.

After visiting the Central Institute of Party History and Literature of the Communist Party of China, Ma Paila and his delegation took a group photo in front of the bronze statue of Marx and Engels. Mapala said that Chinese path to modernization emphasizes the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. It is good at learning from history, focusing on reality, advancing with the times and being brave in innovation. He stated that the key to the success of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is to open up and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics based on the profound foundation of over 5000 years of Chinese civilization, and to combine the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and excellent traditional Chinese culture. The Communist Party of South Africa hopes to work with the CPC to further promote the development of socialism and promote world peace, development and prosperity.
