"from now on, the central task of the cpc is to unite and lead the chinese people of all ethnic groups in building china into a great modern socialist country in all respects, realizing the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation through chinese-style modernization," said the report to the party's 20th national congress. this important statement scientifically points out the central task of the party and the path to its realization, and profoundly clarifies the great significance of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation through chinese-style modernization.
first, chinese-style modernization is the right path to the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. chinese modernization and socialism with chinese characteristics are closely linked and organically united. they did not fall from the sky. rather, they are the precious achievements made by the communist party of china (cpc), which has united and led the people through untold hardships and at various costs. in the mid-19th century, the western powers intensified their frenzied plunder of the ancient oriental nations with their powerful ships and guns built on the basis of industrialization, and china was plunged into a dark situation of internal troubles and foreign aggression. in order to realize the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation, the chinese people have made arduous explorations and made all kinds of attempts, but they have failed to solve the problem of china's future and destiny. not until the communist party of china stepped onto the stage of history and guided the chinese people through the long night with marxism did the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation embrace a bright future. during the new-democratic revolution, our party led the chinese people in achieving national independence and liberation, ushering in a new era in china's development. during the period of socialist revolution and construction, our party creatively proposed the strategic goal of "four modernizations" and made great achievements under this guidance, laying the fundamental political prerequisite and institutional foundation for realizing the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. in the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our party formulated and gradually advanced the three-step modernization development strategy, providing an institutional guarantee full of new vitality and material conditions for rapid development for the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. on the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of new china, especially since reform and opening up, and since the 18th cpc national congress, the party central committee with comrades at its core has made a comprehensive understanding of the overall strategy for the rejuvenation of the chinese nation and the profound changes unseen in the world in a century. it has made a two-step strategic plan for building china into a great modern socialist country in all respects, and made a series of theoretical and practical breakthroughs. we have successfully advanced and expanded chinese-style modernization, provided a more solid material foundation and improved institutional guarantees for china's development, and entered an irreversible historical process to achieve the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. the 20th national congress of the cpc made a comprehensive and systematic exposition of the chinese characteristics, essential requirements and major principles that must be firmly grasped in the chinese modernization, which marked that the theoretical understanding of the chinese modernization of the communist party of china reached a new height on the basis of the practice of the new era.
second, chinese modernization has provided new answers to many difficulties in human modernization. from the historical process of world modernization, human beings often meet some difficult problems in the process of modernization, and chinese modernization provides a new answer to solve these problems. first, correctly understand and deal with the internal relationship of modernization process. it takes only a few decades for china to complete the industrialization process that took developed countries hundreds of years. unlike the western developed countries, which follow the sequence of industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and informatization, china's modernization is a superimposed and "parallel" development process of industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization. in this process, we paid attention to the correct balance between reform, development and stability. in particular, since the 18th national congress of the cpc, the central committee has adhered to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, reflecting the dialectic of the positive interaction between "stability" and "progress", and created two major miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. second, we emphasize mutual benefit and win-win cooperation with other countries. at the beginning of the 19th century, capitalist modernization in western europe entered a period of rapid development. human society not only saw the development of industrial civilization and the progress of general exchanges, but also saw the increase of social contradictions and the intensification of western plunder from the east. marx criticized this paradox of modernity in the mid-19th century, and the latin american attachment theory also began to reflect on it in the 1960s. china strives to uphold and promote social equity and justice, promote common prosperity for all its people, and resolutely prevent polarization. china will not follow the old path of some countries to achieve modernization through war, colonization and plunder, and will stick to the path of peaceful development. this has opened up a new path for mankind to achieve modernization and provided a brand new choice for other countries and nations to achieve modernization. third, promote the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. how to maintain the balance between the development of material civilization and spiritual civilization is often a major problem in modernization. the experience and lessons of modernization in some countries show that, seeing things and not seeing people, instrumental rationality overshadows value rationality, and "human development" lags behind "material construction", which is easy to cause the loss of humanistic spirit and ethics. since the reform and opening up, chinese communists have focused on "both hands" and "both hands" to avoid the modern disease of being rich in material and lacking in spirit. the report of the 20th national congress of the communist party of china pointed out: "chinese modernization is a modernization in which material and spiritual civilization are coordinated. material prosperity and spiritual prosperity are the fundamental requirements of socialist modernization." this is a profound summary of china's modernization development experience. fourth, coordinate economic development and environmental protection. in the traditional process of industrialization, people used to simply take nature as the object of conquest and transformation, which often resulted in soil erosion, air pollution and resource exhaustion. chinese communists are deeply aware that man and nature form a community of life, that clean waters and lush mountains are gold and silver mountains, and that civilization prospers when ecology prospers. with the theory of ecological civilization, they have surpassed "anthropocentrism" and "nature centrism" in theory, and with a high degree of ecological consciousness, they have surpassed in practice the model of "pollution first, treatment later". "chinese modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature", this statement profoundly shows the firm and confident balance between economic development and environmental protection.
third, chinese modernization heralds bright prospects for the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. china's modernization has not only features in common with the modernization of other countries, but also has chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. in accordance with the essential requirements of china-style modernization and the strategic plan to build china into a great modern socialist country in all respects, by the time modernization is basically realized by 2035, china's economic, scientific and technological strength, and overall national strength will have greatly improved, and its per capita gdp will have reached a new level and reached the level of moderately developed countries. to achieve a high level of scientific and technological self-reliance, into the forefront of innovative countries; we will build a modernized economy, form a new pattern of development, and basically realize a new type of industrialization, it application, urbanization, and agricultural modernization. we will basically modernize the country's governance system and capacity, improve the people's democratic system throughout the process, and basically build a law-based country, government, and society. china will become a strong country in education, science and technology, human resources, culture, sports and health, and its cultural soft power will be significantly enhanced. and so on. on this basis, with 15 years of hard work, we will build china into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful. by then, china's material, political, spiritual, social and ecological progress will have been fully enhanced, its governance system and capacity will be modernized, and it will become a country with a leading overall national strength and international influence. more tangible progress will be made in the common prosperity of all its people, and the chinese people will enjoy a happier and healthier life. the chinese nation will stand in the forest of nations in the world with a more ambitious attitude. it is to be expected that as long as we continue to advance along the chinese-style path of modernization and firmly adhere to the major principles of "upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the party, upholding the path of socialism with chinese characteristics, upholding the philosophy of people-centered development, deepening reform and opening up, and carrying forward the spirit of struggle", the goal of building china into a great modern socialist country in all respects will be realized, and the chinese dream of national prosperity, rejuvenation and people's happiness will be realized.
fourth, we should promote the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation through chinese-style modernization and enrich and develop new forms of human civilization. chinese modernization insists on carrying forward excellent traditional chinese culture, but not simply continue the master version of our history and culture; adhere to the guidance of marxism, but not simply apply the template envisioned by classic marxist writers; learn from the positive and negative experiences of other countries' socialist practices, but it is not a reprint of other countries' socialist practices; absorbing the positive achievements of foreign modernization, but not a copy of foreign modernization development. all these reflect the internal combination of the excellent genes of chinese civilization, the essential provisions of socialism and the general laws of world modernization. because of this, chinese modernization has achieved multiple transcendence. first, it "abandoned the old western modernization road of capital-centered modernization, polarization modernization, materialism expansion modernization, foreign expansion and plunder", and broke the single mode of western modernization development road. second, following the logic of the history of the chinese civilization, the logic of modernization and the logic of socialist practice, we have extracted from the chinese civilization those fine traditions that transcend historical time and space, are of eternal charm and have contemporary value, and achieved the modern transformation and development of the chinese civilization. third, adhere to the essential provisions and value requirements of marxism on socialism, but do not adhere to the specific conclusions and expressions of classical marxist writers, and continue to give scientific socialism distinct chinese characteristics, times and practical characteristics, so that it will glow with new vitality in 21st century china. in short, as the most populous country and the largest developing country in the world, china's modernization with such a huge population is unprecedented in the world. this will undoubtedly completely rewrite the modern world map, create a new look of human civilization, and have a profound and significant impact on the history of human civilization.
