It has achieved a series of innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, providing theoretical guidance and injecting strong impetus for persisting in promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization., Has a profound impact on the process of world modernization.
The realization of modernization has been the goal pursued by all countries in the world since modern times. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in an important speech at the special seminar for major provincial and ministerial leaders: "On the basis of the long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. With innovative breakthroughs, we have successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization." To deeply understand and grasp Chinese-style modernization and persist in promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to deeply understand the innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice of Chinese-style modernization. to provide theoretical support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Conform to the ruling law of the Communist Party to promote and expand the Chinese style modernization
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The modernization we promote is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China". In the process of leading the socialist modernization drive, our party establishes the goals, tasks and value orientation of socialist modernization, and gives full play to the party's leadership core role in overtaking the overall situation and coordinating all parties. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental guarantee for the formation and expansion of the Chinese-style modernization road.
The people's character is the most distinctive character of Marxism, and the people's position is the fundamental political stand of a Marxist party. Our party comes from the people, roots in the people, and benefits the people. Since its birth, it has established its original mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "China's modernization adheres to the people-centered development thought". This important exposition profoundly embodies the essential requirements of the ruling law of the Communist Party, clarifies the value orientation of Chinese-style modernization, and highlights the fundamental political stand of our party. The nature, purpose, original intention and mission of the party determine that the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China insists on putting the interests of the people first, constantly realizing, safeguarding and developing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and uniting and leading the people to make continuous progress towards the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The Marxist political party takes the realization of the free and all-round development of human beings and the liberation of all mankind as its own responsibility. To achieve such a lofty mission, it must go through a long historical process. It needs to divide several development stages and make top-level design for the development goals of different stages. Under the condition of long-term governance, the continuous struggle around the common and clear development goal deeply embodies the ruling law of the Communist Party, which is also one of the remarkable advantages of Marxist political parties in power for a long time compared with western political parties. In the process of promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization, our party conforms to the ruling law of the Communist Party, strengthens the top-level design of socialist modernization, and unites and leads the people to build a modern socialist country. After the founding of New China, from the first five-year Plan to the 14th five-year Plan, from the overall well-off to the overall well-off, from the "four modernizations" to the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, the consistent theme is to build our country into a modern socialist country. In his opening speech at the first session of the first National people's Congress, Comrade Mao Zedong stressed: "it is planned to build an economically and culturally backward country like ours into an industrialized and great country with a high degree of modern education within a few five-year plans." After the reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping made strategic arrangements for my country's socialist modernization and put forward the "three-step" strategic goal. With the advancement of socialist modernization, on the basis that the two goals of solving the problem of food and clothing for the people and reaching a well-off level in general have been achieved ahead of schedule, our party has condensed the party's goal of struggle into "two centenary" goals according to the reality of China's development, which is a concentrated and distinct embodiment of the goal of Chinese-style modernization. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and our party's understanding of Chinese-style modernization has continued to deepen. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a strategic plan for building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way. The overall strategic arrangement is to take two steps: basically realize socialist modernization from 2020 to 2035; from 2035 to the middle of this century Build my country into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist country. This series of major strategic deployments have enriched the connotation of socialist modernization, clarified the path of socialist modernization, and further deepened our party's understanding of the laws of the Communist Party's governance.
Constantly improving the Party's governing ability and leadership level is an inherent requirement of the Communist Party's governing law. In the process of promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization, our party has closely integrated the improvement of the party's ruling ability and leadership level with the promotion of socialist modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities in the process of promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization. The third Plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee took "improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity" as the overall goal of comprehensively deepening the reform. The fourth Plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee made comprehensive arrangements for upholding and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Incorporating the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities into the category of socialist modernization not only makes important explorations and innovations for further strengthening the party's governance capabilities, but also provides a strong guarantee for the promotion and expansion of Chinese-style modernization.
Conform to the Law of Socialist Construction and Promote and Expand Chinese-style Modernization
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization not only suits China's reality, embodies the laws of socialist construction, but also embodies the laws of human social development." Conforming to the laws of socialist construction and advancing socialist modernization from the essential requirements of socialism are the distinctive features of Chinese modernization.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The liberation and development of social productive forces is the essential requirement of socialism, and it is a major issue that the Chinese Communists have explored and worked hard to solve." Entering a new era, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, our party is based on the new development stage, implements the new development concept, builds a new development pattern, promotes high-quality development, and endows a series of new characteristics of Chinese-style modernization. For example, Chinese-style modernization is committed to promoting the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization. The coordination and balance within the civilization system is an important feature of Chinese-style modernization and an important achievement of implementing the concept of coordinated development. For another example, Chinese-style modernization is a modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously. It pays attention to simultaneously promoting the construction of material civilization and ecological civilization, which not only meets the people's growing needs for a better life, but also meets the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. The realization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is an important feature of Chinese modernization and an important achievement of implementing the concept of green development. This series of new features has injected distinct connotations of the times into the construction of socialist modernization in theory and practice.
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism. Under the socialist system, it is necessary to continuously liberate and develop social productive forces, continuously create and accumulate social wealth, and prevent polarization. Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization and a modernization of common prosperity for all people. It adheres to the people-centered development thinking, consciously and actively solves regional gaps, urban-rural gaps, and income distribution gaps, promotes social fairness and justice, and gradually realizes the common prosperity of all people, Resolutely prevent polarization, clearly embodies the essential attributes of socialism. In the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has further clarified the goal of promoting common prosperity in the process of promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must thoroughly study the goals of different stages and promote common prosperity in stages: By the end of the'14th Five-Year Plan, all people will take solid steps towards common prosperity, and the gap between residents' income and actual consumption levels will gradually narrow. By 2035, more obvious and substantial progress will be made in the common prosperity of all people, and basic public services will be equalized. By the middle of this century, the common prosperity of all the people will be basically realized, and the gap between residents' income and actual consumption level will be narrowed to a reasonable range." In the process of modernization, we have continuously promoted common prosperity, profoundly reflected the socialist essential stipulation of Chinese-style modernization, and deepened and expanded our party's understanding of the laws of socialist construction in theory and practice.
Conform to the Law of Human Social Development and Promote and Expand Chinese Modernization
The process of modernization is the process of the development of human society and the progress of human civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "There is neither a fixed modernization model in the world, nor a universal modernization standard." Chinese-style modernization conforms to the law of the development of human society, insists on independently choosing the path of modernization, solves many problems in the development of human society, and breaks the myth that "modernization is Westernization.
In the history of mankind, no nation or country can achieve strength and rejuvenation by relying on external forces, copying foreign models, and following others. The ways to realize modernization are diverse. Different countries and nations should choose from their own historical traditions and actual national conditions, and cannot set a certain modernization model and modernization standard as a standard, let alone use hegemonic means to make a certain modernization. The model is imposed on others. Different countries and nations have different paths to modernization, and there is also diversity in the form of civilization. This diversity is the basic feature of the development of human civilization. The exchange and mutual learning of different civilizations to promote the development and progress of human civilization conforms to the law of human social development.
my country is the largest developing country in the world. The actual national conditions determine that it is impossible for my country to copy the modernization path of others in the historical process of modernization. Instead, it must follow its own path based on national conditions and insist on putting the development of the country and the nation on its own strength. On the basis of China's development and progress, firmly control the destiny of China's development and progress in its own hands. It is precisely by taking our own path as the party's entire theoretical and practical foothold that our party has led the people to successfully embark on the path of Chinese-style modernization and created a new form of human civilization. This new form of human civilization is a great achievement formed in theoretical and practical exploration by persisting in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture. it has enriched the path choice of human civilization towards modernization, expanded the way for developing countries to move towards modernization, and provided a Chinese plan for mankind's exploration of a better social system.
Peace and development are the common aspirations of all mankind. Chinese-style modernization takes the path of peaceful development and advocates the construction of a community of human destiny. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "China will never develop itself at the expense of the interests of other countries". Chinese-style modernization abandons the capital-centered modernization of the West, the modernization of polarization, the modernization of materialism expansion, and the modernization of external expansion and plunder. It has solved many problems in the development of human society and contributed Chinese wisdom to the promotion of the progress of human civilization. Chinese plan.
Chinese-style modernization conforms to the laws of the Communist Party's governance, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development. It has achieved a series of innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and has provided theoretical guidance and injected strong impetus for the persistence of Chinese-style modernization to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation., Has a profound impact on the process of world modernization, and shows the bright prospects for the development of human civilization.
