For more than a hundred years, all the struggles, sacrifices, and innovations that the CPC has united and led the Chinese people have come down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The history of our party uniting and leading the people in pursuing national rejuvenation is also a history of constantly exploring the path of modernization. Chinese path to modernization is a major achievement of the long-term exploration and practice of our party's leadership of the people. The leadership of the party is directly related to the fundamental direction, future, destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese path to modernization. Both the essential requirements of Chinese path to modernization and the major principles that must be firmly grasped on the way forward put the adherence to the leadership of the CPC in the first place. To promote Chinese path to modernization, we must adhere to the leadership of the CPC, which is not only a summary of scientific theory, but also a summary of historical experience and fundamental practical requirements.
The Party's leadership determines the fundamental nature of Chinese path to modernization
The CPC is the initiator, leader and promoter of the theory and practice of Chinese path to modernization because of its "qualitative prescriptiveness" and the progressiveness nature it endows. In the process of promoting Chinese path to modernization, the CPC's own "qualitative prescriptiveness" is embodied in three aspects: guiding ideology, fundamental purpose and highest ideal.
The Party's guiding ideology keeps pace with the times, innovates and develops, and provides scientific guidance for Chinese path to modernization. As a party armed with Marxism, the guiding ideology of the CPC has always been firm and advancing with the times. Marxism reveals the general law of the development of human society, highlights the great practical power of transforming the world, and lays a scientific foundation for the theory of Chinese path to modernization;
The fundamental purpose of the Party continues to be inherited, and its position is firm, so as to pool tremendous power for Chinese path to modernization. The purpose of the Party is the fundamental purpose and real intention for the existence of a political party. The fundamental purpose of the CPC is to serve the people wholeheartedly. In the theoretical perspective of the CPC, serving the people wholeheartedly is both historical and specific. From the "All Party movements must go deep into the masses" put forward at the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "Party's general line is to win over the masses" put forward at the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, to the first comprehensive and systematic exposition of the thought of serving the people in "Serving the People", and to the new era, reiterating that "all Party members should put the people at the top of their hearts and adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly", serving the people wholeheartedly has always been the highest code of conduct of the CPC. To serve the people wholeheartedly in the new era is to put effort into achieving modernization for common prosperity for all people, and continuously realize the people's aspirations for a better life.
The Party's highest ideal points out the way forward for Chinese path to modernization. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed the mission and task of the CPC for a new era and a new journey, emphasizing that "from now on, the central task of the CPC is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to comprehensively build a strong socialist modernization country, achieve the second centennial goal, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization". This requires us to regard the promotion of Chinese path to modernization as the realistic requirement and specific strategy for achieving the great goal of communism in the new era, anchor the specific direction of Chinese path to modernization under the guidance of the lofty ideal of communism, and profoundly reveal that the realization of the highest ideal of communism cannot be separated from the promotion of Chinese path to modernization. Theory and practice have also proved time and again that only by adhering to the leadership of the Party can the Party's highest ideal and Chinese path to modernization be truly integrated and mutually promoted.
The leadership of the Party ensures that Chinese path to modernization is anchored and the goal is carried forward steadily
To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the historical aspiration of the CPC. One of the key reasons why Chinese path to modernization can recover the "lost two hundred years" and write the most magnificent epic in the Chinese nation's thousands of years of history is that the Party has always grasped the historical initiative, anchored the goal of struggle, and continued to promote socialist modernization with the tenacity of "drawing a blueprint to the end".
During the period of the New Democratic Revolution, the Party united and led the people to fight bravely, overthrowing the "Three Great Mountains" and achieving national independence and people's liberation. The Party deeply recognizes the importance of industrialization and proposes that the central purpose of democratic revolution is to liberate farmers from the hands of aggressors, landlords, and compradors, and establish a modern industrial society, creating necessary and fundamental social conditions for achieving modernization.
During the period of socialist revolution and construction, the Party united and led the people to eliminate the feudal system that had lasted for thousands of years in China, achieving the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation. During this period, the Party initially established the goal of socialist modernization construction. In 1964, the first session of the third National People's Congress proposed to build China into a socialist strong country with modern agriculture, modern industry, modern national defense, and modern science and technology in a relatively short historical period, catching up with and surpassing the world's advanced level. Through the "two-step" strategic planning, an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system have been established, laying the political prerequisite and material foundation for China's modernization construction.
In the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction, the Party has made historic decisions on reform and opening up, and implemented a socialist market economy system. During this period, the Party further deepened its understanding of the goals of socialist modernization construction. The 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made "moderately prosperous" the overall goal of economic construction for the first time; The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build China into a prosperous, democratic, and civilized socialist modernized country; The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build China into a socialist modernized country that is prosperous, democratic, civilized, and harmonious. While scientifically and comprehensively expanding the strategic goal of modernization, it has achieved a historic breakthrough in economic aggregate, providing Chinese path to modernization with a new dynamic institutional guarantee and material conditions for rapid development.
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a new top-level design for promoting China's socialist modernization construction in the new era, proposing a strategic arrangement of building a socialist modernized strong country in two steps by the middle of the 21st century; The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly outlined the overall goal of China's development by 2035, and outlined a grand blueprint for comprehensively building a socialist modernized strong country and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It can be said that the decade of the new era is the decade in which the CPC has anchored the goal of modernization, continued to struggle and forge ahead. The historical achievements and changes made in this period have provided a more perfect system guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more proactive spiritual force for Chinese path to modernization.
