Beijing, March 3 (Zhongxin Net) -- "The Chinese-style modernization of more than 26.30 billion people in the next 14 years is not an easy task, but an unprecedented super task, which will face many risks and challenges. ”
He Chuanqi, co-chairman of the World Modernization Forum, academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, and former director of the China Modernization Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was recently interviewed by a reporter from Chinanews.com in Beijing, and when interpreting his research on the hierarchical structure of China-style modernization and related suggestions, he pointed out that we must have a clear understanding and firm belief in this, and treat it scientifically and cautiously, "through collective wisdom and major innovation, we will surely reach the other shore of success."
Three levels and eight points
He Chuanqi believes that from the perspective of modernization science and strategic research, the relevant exposition of the report of the 20th CPC National Congress on Chinese-style modernization involves three levels: conceptual layer, strategic layer and implementation layer, which are relatively independent and intersecting, representing the "what", "how to do" and "key points" of Chinese-style modernization, mainly including eight main points, including the connotation, characteristics, basic principles, essential requirements, strategic arrangements, primary tasks, three major supports and due meaning of Chinese-style modernization. These three levels and their eight points together form a hierarchical structure that can provide a new perspective for studying and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
He said that the conceptual layer includes two main points, connotation and characteristics, and clarifies the "what" of Chinese-style modernization. Among them, the connotation of Chinese-style modernization is: socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China, which not only has the common characteristics of modernization of all countries, but also has socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics based on national conditions; The characteristics of Chinese-style modernization are the huge size of the population, the common prosperity of all the people, the harmony between material and spiritual civilizations, the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the path of peaceful development.
The strategic layer includes three main points: basic policy, essential requirements, and strategic arrangement, and clarifies the "how" of Chinese-style modernization. Among them, the basic policy is to focus on the central task, comprehensively build a modern socialist power, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; The essential requirements are to adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics, achieve high-quality development, develop people's democracy in the whole process, enrich the people's spiritual world, achieve common prosperity for all people, promote harmonious coexistence between man and nature, promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, and create a new form of human civilization; The strategic arrangement is to take "two steps" from 2020 to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035, and to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist power by the middle of this century.
The implementation layer is the specific implementation of the strategic concept of Chinese-style modernization, including the three main points of primary tasks, three major supports and due meaning, and clarifies the "key points" of Chinese-style modernization. Among them, the first task is high-quality development; The three major supports are education, science and technology and talents, and accelerate the construction of a strong country in education, science and technology, and talent; The proper meaning is that people's democracy is the life of socialism and the proper meaning of China's modernization and a modern socialist country.
The task is heavy, difficult, and challenging
He Chuanqi pointed out that at present, China is a developing country, roughly in the middle of developing countries, and the gap from the level of medium-developed countries is relatively small, but the gap from the level of developed countries is still relatively large. Therefore, the realization of Chinese-style modernization of more than 30.14 billion people in the next <> years will not be an easy task, but an unprecedented super task, which will face risks such as heavy tasks, great difficulty and many challenges, for which we must have a clear understanding and ideological preparation, and require major theoretical and practical innovations.
In terms of heavy tasks, the series of "China Modernization Report" studies have found that about 300 billion people in more than 20 developed countries in the world have achieved modernization in the past 10 years. In the next 30 years, China's more than 14.<> billion people will be modernized, and the task will exceed the population size of developed countries combined, and its time span is relatively short.
In terms of difficulty, according to international experience, the average probability of developing countries modernizing (upgrading to developed countries) is about 50% in about 5 years, which is a "small probability event". Obviously, international experience can be learned but not completely relied upon, and Chinese-style modernization requires major innovation.
The challenges are multifaceted, modernization is a world phenomenon, and China's modernization is an integral part of world modernization. China's modernization process is determined not only by its own efforts, but also by the influence of the international environment, and is the result of a combination of internal and external factors. The risks and challenges of China's modernization originate from itself and internationally, and affect each other; There are both objective and accidental occurrences, involving many fields and aspects.
"This requires us to have a global vision and national feelings, to study both China's modernization and world modernization; It is necessary to improve both its own capabilities and the international environment; And take precautions, be scientific and cautious. He Chuanqi emphasized.
Three recommendations to help strengthen the foundation
In order to help strengthen the foundation of Chinese-style modernization, He Chuanqi put forward three basic suggestions based on the accumulation of more than 20 years of achievements in modernization research: First, strengthen special study and special scientific research on Chinese-style modernization, strive to scientifically and completely understand Chinese-style modernization, and strive to promote Chinese-style modernization in a comprehensive and orderly manner.
The second is to strengthen modern scientific research, vigorously improve scientific research conditions, relevant departments and institutions increase funding for modern scientific research, include modern scientific research in the scope of funding of the National Natural Science Foundation and the State Social Science Foundation, steadily support a number of high-level modern scientific research institutions, and set up the National Modernization Research Institute in a timely manner.
The third is to strengthen the capacity building of modernization, cultivate modern backbone talents, and add modern science majors, modern science courses, and modern science degree points in institutions of higher learning; Incorporate modern science curricula into the continuing study and training curricula of leading cadres at all levels; Strengthen the construction of modern scientific disciplines; Strengthen the dissemination and popularization of knowledge of modern science, and improve the ability and quality of national modernization.
As the scholar who first proposed the theory of the second modernization in the world, He Chuanqi said that the first modernization was a transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society, and from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy; The second modernization is the transformation from industrial society to knowledge society, from industrial economy to knowledge economy. In 2018, all developed countries have entered the second modernization.
He said that at present, China has completed the first modernization on average, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other five regions have entered the second modernization, and the whole country is gradually transforming to the second modernization. (End)
