"What kind of modernization do we really need? How can it be modernized? On the 15th, at the high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China and world political parties, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and president of the People's Republic of China, answered the question of modernization.

Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "Chinese-style modernization" has increasingly become the key word to decode the development of contemporary China, and the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in the opening year have further refined the "construction" path of the Chinese-style modernization blueprint. In the eyes of the outside world, Xi Jinping's first major multilateral diplomatic event immediately after the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress (NPC) once again addressed the important issue of modernization to the world's political parties, or there may be two backgrounds worthy of attention.

First, in the face of multiple challenges and crises, the process of modernization of human society has once again come to the crossroads of history. "Polarization or common prosperity?" "Material supremacy or material and spiritual coordinated development?" "Zero-sum game or win-win cooperation?" A series of questions are mandatory questions for countries that are exploring modernization.

Second, in modern political life, political parties are becoming an important force leading and promoting the process of modernization. As the world's largest ruling party, after the Communist Party of China has completed its major political agenda, political parties from all over the world hope to exchange new experiences in governing the country and understand the new opportunities for the world by China's new development.

In this context, Xi Jinping's answer to the question of modernization first conveys China's clear proposition.

At this dialogue, Xi Jinping clearly pointed out China's understanding of modernization with five "musts": we must adhere to the concept of putting the people first, uphold the principle of independence and self-determination, establish a sense of integrity and innovation, carry forward the spirit of self-reliance and enlightenment, and maintain a vigorous attitude.

Especially in response to some erroneous concepts of modernization, Xi Jinping clearly said "no": modernization is not a "patent product" of a few countries, nor is it an either-or "single-choice question", and it cannot be simply the same and "copy and paste"; Blowing out someone else's lamp doesn't make yourself brighter; Blocking the way of others will not allow yourself to go further ...

Some observations believe that standing at the crossroads of human modernization, China has expressed its clear attitude of "yes" and "don'ts", and let more developing countries see the pluralistic path to modernization.

Secondly, Xi Jinping answered the question of modernization, and also conveyed the value pursuit of China's self-cultivation.

When China's population of more than 1.4 billion people enters a modern society as a whole, there is no doubt that it will completely rewrite the map of the modern world. At the dialogue, Xi Jinping used three "new" to expound the meaning, value and impact of Chinese-style modernization on the world - striving to provide new opportunities for world development with new achievements of Chinese-style modernization, providing new impetus for mankind's exploration of the road of modernization, and making new contributions to the theoretical and practical innovation of human social modernization.

These three "new" concentrate on conveying to the outside world the meaning of China's own development and the common development of the world. "One flower alone is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring", which is also China's value pursuit on the road of modernization.

As the British historian Toynbee once predicted: "If China can forge a new path in terms of social and economic strategic choices, it will prove its ability to provide the world with the gifts that China and the world need." ”

China's modernization "follows the right path of peaceful development", and the outside world has paid special attention to Xi Jinping's statement. This answer to the question of modernization also contains the tradition of China's way of harmony.

"Taking the path of peaceful development" is one of the important characteristics of China's modernization. Facing the world's political parties, Xi Jinping once again stressed that China-style modernization does not follow the old road of colonial plunder, does not follow the crooked path of national strength and hegemony, and proposed the "Global Civilization Initiative" for the first time, which is another international public good proposed after the "Global Development Initiative" and the "Global Security Initiative".

Some analysts believe that whether it is the contrast between the "old road" and "crooked road" and the "right way in the world", or the proposal of the "Global Civilization Initiative", behind China's consistent pursuit and adherence to the path of harmony.

It is worth noting that as soon as this major initiative was proposed, it received a positive response from all parties involved. For example, Prime Minister Marape, leader of Papua New Guinea's Pangu Party, said at the dialogue that "diversity of civilizations is not a burden, but an asset that a country should inherit, innovate and develop". President Vučić, chairman of the Serbian Forward Party, also said, "We must adhere to the civilizational concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, and transcend civilizational barriers through civilizational exchanges."

On the dialogue platform set up by the Chinese Communist Party, leaders of more than 150 political parties and organizations from more than 500 countries gather in the cloud. Although the participating parties may have different political views and views, it is meaningful enough to come together to discuss modernization.

On this occasion, Xi Jinping answered the question of modernization again to the world's political parties, which not only showed China's choice at the crossroads of history, but also showed another possibility for exploring the path of modernization. (End)
