"Chinese-style modernization is deeply rooted in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, embodies the advanced nature of scientific socialism, learns from and absorbs all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, represents the development direction of human civilization progress, and presents a new picture different from the Western modernization model. It is a new form of human civilization."
On February 7, at the opening ceremony of the seminar on the study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China for members, alternate members, and major leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels of the Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping from The height and breadth of human civilization provide a comprehensive and profound interpretation of Chinese-style modernization, demonstrating the grand civilizational vision and broad world vision of leaders of major parties and major countries.

Modernization is a beautiful dream pursued by the Chinese nation since modern times, and it is a clear main line that runs through the century-old struggle of the Communist Party of China and the great transformation of the new era in ten years.
Since modern times, countless people with lofty ideals have risen repeatedly and never returned, striving for the realization of China's modernization.
The Communist Party of China, shouldering the heavy responsibility of exploring the road to modernization in China, has united and led the people in finding, exploring, and building roads to embark on the modernization road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, making important contributions to the progress of human civilization.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has continued to advance on the existing basis, "constantly achieved innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization."
On July 1, 2021, on the Tiananmen Gate, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a profound summary of the great achievements of the century-old party in opening up a new path of Chinese-style modernization:
"We uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization, create a new path of Chinese-style modernization, and create a new form of human civilization."
Adhere to the guidance of Marxism, combine the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality, and combine it with China's excellent traditional culture.
The new path of Chinese-style modernization is the path of national rejuvenation led by the Communist Party of China.
"Why should we emphasize the party's leadership in Chinese-style modernization? This is because the party's leadership is directly related to the fundamental direction, future, destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese-style modernization." At the opening ceremony, General Secretary Xi Jinping spoke sonorously.
Unlike some capitalist countries with political party disputes, party favoritism, inconsistent policies, and radical changes, our party has always adhered to its original mission and insisted on unifying lofty ideals with phased goals. The blueprint is drawn to the end.
The advanced nature of the party determines the inevitability of creating a new path of Chinese-style modernization and creating a new form of human civilization.
In a non-stop "relay race", generations of Chinese Communists have led the people to continue to struggle, to strive hard, and to strive unremittingly. They have completed the industrialization process that Western developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years in decades, and have eloquently proved that "China It is the only correct path for building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation."

For a long time, modernization that originated in the West has often been equated with Westernization.
Chinese-style modernization has broken the myth of "modernization = Westernization", dispelled the "thinking" that defines modernization with Western civilization, contributed a new look to the genealogy of human civilization, and provided a new plan for the development of human civilization.
"We have no intention and have not exported Chinese-style modernization or the 'Chinese model', but Chinese-style modernization has set a model for developing countries to move towards modernization independently, and provided them with some new choices." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words resounded loudly.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clarifies the Chinese characteristics in five aspects of Chinese-style modernization.
At the opening ceremony, the general secretary further analyzed and explained these five aspects one by one, revealing the scientific connotation of Chinese-style modernization.
Modernization with a huge population, common prosperity for all people, modernization with harmonious material and spiritual civilization, modernization with harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and modernization with peaceful development are the "significant features" and "essence" of Chinese-style modernization. "Characteristics", "Lovely Pursuit", "Distinctive Features", and "Prominent Features" show that Chinese-style modernization is very different from the capital-centered, polarized, materialistic modernization of the West, and foreign expansion and plunder.
"Many people in the West are used to seeing China as a modern nation-state in the perspective of Western modernization theories, and they do not look at China from the perspective of more than 5,000 years of civilization history, so it is difficult to truly understand China's past, present, and future." Xi Jinping The general secretary wrote in an important article.
At the opening ceremony, the general secretary pointed out profoundly that "the unique world outlook, values, history, civilization, democracy, ecology, etc. contained in Chinese-style modernization and its great practice are major innovations in the theory and practice of world modernization."
The world is the public, the people are the foundation of the country, the unity of nature and man, self-improvement, and virtue... These cultural genes embedded in the 5,000-year Chinese civilization and flowing in the blood of the Chinese people have established the Chinese-style modernization and human civilization. The spiritual foundation of a new form of civilization.
Peaches and plums, the next from Seikei.
The successful practice of Chinese-style modernization has given developing countries new hope and new choices.

Any kind of civilization, no matter which country or nation it is born in, is fluid and open.
The Chinese-style modernization of "learning from and absorbing all the outstanding achievements of human civilization" demonstrates the strong inclusiveness of Chinese civilization, and demonstrates the structure and responsibility of the Communist Party of China as the world's largest Marxist ruling party.
On July 6, 2021, at the Summit of the Communist Party of China and World Political Party Leaders, to the leaders of more than 500 political parties and political organizations in more than 160 countries around the world, and more than 10,000 representatives of political parties and all walks of life, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared:
"The Communist Party of China is willing to exchange and learn from each other's experience in modernization construction with political parties in other countries, to jointly enrich the path to modernization, and to better seek happiness for the people of its own country and the people of all countries in the world."
At present, human civilization has reached an intricate fork in the road.
Should we follow the "law of the jungle" and "zero-sum game", or insist on open cooperation and mutual benefit?
At the opening ceremony, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a clear request to "continuously expand high-level opening up to the outside world, deeply participate in the global industrial division of labor and cooperation, make good use of both domestic and international resources, and expand the development space of Chinese-style modernization."
Persisting in both developing itself and benefiting the world, China is developing and progressing with more civilizations through exchanges and mutual learning, constantly achieving new breakthroughs in theory and practice, and contributing more wisdom to the progress of human civilization.
History never ends, and exploration continues.
Chinese-style modernization, adhering to the concept of civilizations of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness, will surely transcend the barriers of civilizations with exchanges of civilizations, the conflict of civilizations with mutual learning of civilizations, and the superiority of civilizations with the coexistence of civilizations, and inject vitality into the development of human civilization.
