Promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization (seriously studying, propagating and implementing the spirit of the 20 th Party Congress)
The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, written by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, holds high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, scientifically depicts the grand blueprint for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and winning new victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics under the new historical conditions, and is a political declaration and action program that unites and leads the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to continue to advance along the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and strive for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. The report profoundly expounds the scientific connotation, China characteristics and essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, and emphasizes the adherence to Chinese-style modernization to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must unify our thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, unswervingly push forward the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and strive to write a new chapter in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
1. Chinese modernization is a bright road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. The people of the Communist Party of China (CPC), with the Supreme Leader as the main representative, insist on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and insist on Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, profoundly sum up and make full use of the historical experience since the founding of the Party, and proceed from the new reality. He founded the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, and clearly adhered to and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The overall task is to realize socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. On the basis of building a well-off society in an all-round way, he will build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power in the middle of this century in two steps, and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), a modernization with China characteristics and in line with China’s reality, and a bright road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
(1) The Party has successfully led the people out of the road of Chinese modernization and created a new form of human civilization. All the struggles that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has United and led the people of China in the past century are aimed at building China into a modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In this process, our party has deepened its understanding of building a socialist modern country, matured its strategy and enriched its practice, thus creating a Chinese-style modernization road. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, our party put forward the goal of gradually building China into a powerful socialist country with modern agriculture, modern industry, modern national defense and modern science and technology. In the new period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our party put forward the theory of "Chinese modernization" and formulated a development strategy of three steps to basically realize socialist modernization by the middle of the 21st century. On the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, and through theoretical and practical breakthroughs since the 18th CPC National Congress, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward that "the modernization we are building must have China characteristics and conform to the reality of China", and stressed that we must persist in "promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization". The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made strategic arrangements for building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way.The overall strategic arrangement is divided into two steps: basically realize socialist modernization from 2020 to 2035; From 2035 to the middle of this century, China will be built into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power. General Secretary Supreme Leader’s series of important expositions on Chinese modernization are an important part of Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, which provides a fundamental basis for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, expands the way for developing countries to move toward modernization, and provides a Chinese plan for mankind to explore a better social system.
(2) Chinese modernization has promoted the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and entered an irreversible historical process. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has united and led the people of China to complete the process of industrialization that western developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years in just a few decades, creating two miracles that are rare in the world: rapid economic development and long-term social stability. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has promoted the overall layout of the "five in one" and coordinated the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, which has overcome many long-standing unsolved problems, made many long-term major events, and made historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the country. We have built a well-off society in an all-round way and achieved the goal of the first century, and the country’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength and international influence have continued to increase. In 2021, China’s economic aggregate reached 114.4 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 18% of the global economic aggregate, and the per capita GDP exceeded 80,000 yuan. We won the battle against poverty as scheduled, and 98.99 million rural poor people were all lifted out of poverty under the current standards, thus completing the arduous task of eliminating absolute poverty. We have built the largest education system, social security system and medical and health system in the world, and people’s lives have improved in all directions, and their sense of acquisition, happiness and security has become more substantial, secure and sustainable. Historical, turning and overall changes have taken place in the protection of ecological environment.Green, circular and low-carbon development has taken solid steps. In the face of the sudden epidemic in COVID-19, we adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, and efficiently coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, thus protecting people’s life safety and health to the utmost extent. The people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China are advancing the great leap of the Chinese nation from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong with confidence. We are closer, more confident and capable of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history.
(3) Striving for a new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, we must unswervingly promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. China has embarked on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. Today, the world has undergone a great change in the past century, and the evolution is accelerating. China’s development is facing new strategic opportunities, strategic tasks, strategic stages, strategic requirements and strategic environment. The risks and challenges to be dealt with, and the contradictions and problems to be solved are more complicated than before. The more so, the more confident we must be in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture, and unswervingly follow the bright road of Chinese modernization. History and practice have proved that the Chinese-style modernization road is in line with China’s reality. This road is not only right and feasible, but also wider and wider. On the new journey, we insist on promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, and will certainly be able to create new development miracles and make new and greater contributions to our own development and the benefit of the world.
Second, profoundly grasp the China characteristics of Chinese modernization.
Chinese-style modernization is a modernization with a huge population, the common prosperity of all people, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and the modernization of peaceful development. These are the five characteristics of Chinese modernization in China. To comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, we must earnestly grasp the characteristics of China based on our own national conditions.
(a) adhere to the national conditions of China. China’s population of more than 1.4 billion has entered a modern society as a whole, and its scale will exceed the total population of existing developed countries. It is unprecedented in arduousness and complexity, and its development approach and promotion mode will inevitably have its own characteristics. In today’s world, although many countries are striving to build modernization, there are not many countries that have truly built modernization in an all-round way. Some developing countries completely copy the western model regardless of their own national conditions and historical orientation, resulting in extremely difficult development process. In the final analysis, no nation or country in human history can achieve strength and rejuvenation by relying on external forces, copying foreign models and following others. The reason why China’s modernization can achieve such a good situation today lies in the fact that our modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), which not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has the characteristics of China based on its own national conditions, which is in line with China’s reality. China is still in the primary stage of socialism and will remain the largest developing country in the world for a long time. It needs long-term and arduous efforts to build China into a powerful socialist modernization country. We should always proceed from the national conditions, think about problems, make decisions and do things, neither aim too high nor stick to the old ways, maintain historical patience, persist in striving for progress steadily, step by step and continue to advance. Persist in concentrating on doing your own thing well, continue to seize and make good use of the important period of strategic opportunities, scientifically plan, actively act and follow the trend on the basis of accurately grasping the historical laws, the general trend of the times and the development conditions.Solve problems and achieve goals in a step-by-step and solid progress.
(2) Adhere to the common prosperity of all people. Common prosperity is the essential requirement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and a long-term historical process. Achieving common prosperity is an important mission of our party, which is not only an economic issue, but also a major political issue related to the party’s ruling foundation. Chinese-style modernization insists on realizing people’s yearning for a better life as the starting point and end result of modernization, and strives to safeguard and promote social fairness and justice, promote common prosperity of all people, and resolutely prevent polarization. We must adhere to the people-centered development idea, promote common prosperity in high-quality development, consciously and proactively solve the regional gap, urban-rural gap and income distribution gap, and improve the balance, coordination and inclusiveness of development. Promote common prosperity in common struggle, encourage hard work and innovation to get rich, create more inclusive and fair conditions for people to improve their education level and enhance their development ability, prevent the solidification of social strata, smooth the upward flow channel, and create opportunities for more people to get rich. Correctly handle the relationship between efficiency and fairness, build basic institutional arrangements for the coordination of primary distribution, redistribution and third distribution, and establish a scientific public policy system so that the development results can benefit all people more fairly. Insist on doing our best and doing what we can, base the protection and improvement of people’s livelihood on economic development and sustainable financial resources, and focus on strengthening the basic, inclusive and comprehensive construction of people’s livelihood security. The common prosperity of all people is not the prosperity of a few people, nor is it uniform egalitarianism. To allow some people to get rich first,At the same time, it is necessary to emphasize getting rich first, bringing wealth later and helping the rich later. According to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee, by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the common prosperity of all the people will take solid steps, by 2035, the common prosperity of all the people will make more obvious substantive progress, and by the middle of this century, the common prosperity of all the people will be basically realized. We must adhere to gradual progress, fully estimate the long-term, arduous and complex nature, do everything well in a down-to-earth manner, and solidly promote common prosperity.
(3) Adhere to the coordination between material civilization and spiritual civilization. Material wealth and spiritual wealth are the fundamental requirements of socialist modernization. Material poverty is not socialism, nor is spiritual poverty socialism. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great cause of all-round development and all-round progress. Without the prosperity and development of socialist culture, there will be no socialist modernization. We should constantly plant the material foundation of modernization and consolidate the material conditions for people’s happy life. At the same time, we should vigorously develop advanced socialist culture, strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs, inherit Chinese civilization, and promote the all-round enrichment of things and the all-round development of people. We should adhere to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field and constantly push forward the modernization of Marxism in China. Vigorously carry forward and practice the socialist core values, and internalize the socialist core values into people’s spiritual pursuit and externalize them into people’s conscious actions through education guidance, public opinion propaganda, cultural edification, practice cultivation and system guarantee. We will promote the normalization and institutionalization of education in ideals and beliefs, strengthen education in the history of Party history, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development, and strengthen education in patriotism, collectivism, and socialism to promote the ideological and spiritual unity of all the people. Promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, inherit revolutionary culture, develop advanced socialist culture and build a strong socialist culture. Insist on putting social benefits first, unifying social benefits and economic benefits, promoting the all-round development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries, prospering literary and artistic creation, and improving the public cultural service system.Provide more and better spiritual food for the people.
(4) Adhere to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Man and nature are a community of life, and it is bound to be retaliated by nature to ask for or even destroy nature endlessly. Chinese modernization should not only create more material wealth and spiritual wealth to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life, but also provide more high-quality ecological products to meet the people’s growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. We must grasp the relationship between development and protection, and we must never take the road of "pollution first, then treatment". We must adhere to sustainable development, adhere to the policy of giving priority to conservation, giving priority to protection and giving priority to natural restoration, protect the natural and ecological environment like protecting our eyes, unswervingly follow the civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology, and realize the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Practice the Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets concept, unremittingly promote green and low-carbon development, take the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction as the general starting point to promote the overall green transformation of economic and social development, accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure, energy structure, transportation structure and land use structure, and form a green development mode. Accelerate the formation of a spatial pattern of resource conservation and environmental protection, limit economic activities and human behavior to the limits that natural resources and ecological environment can bear, and leave time and space for natural ecology to recuperate. Focus on overcoming the outstanding ecological and environmental problems around the people, adhere to precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control according to law, and fight the defense of blue sky, clear water and pure land with higher standards. Promote the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand,Accelerate the construction of a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body, strengthen biodiversity protection, and improve the quality and stability of the ecosystem. Establish and improve institutional mechanisms and policy systems, improve the management of binding indicators for environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, and improve the modernization level of ecological environment governance system and governance capacity.
(5) Adhere to the path of peaceful development. Chinese modernization emphasizes mutual benefit and win-win with all countries in the world, promotes the building of a community of human destiny, and strives to contribute to human peace and development. In history, some countries have achieved modernization through war, colonization and plunder, which has brought deep suffering to the people of developing countries. The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean more than 600 years ago, he led the world’s largest fleet at that time, bringing silk, tea and porcelain instead of war. We firmly stand on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization, hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, seek our own development while firmly safeguarding world peace and development, and better safeguard world peace and development through our own development. Adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace, respect each other, negotiate on an equal footing, bridge differences through dialogue, resolve disputes through negotiation, oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics, push all countries to take the road of peaceful development together, and promote the construction of new international relations. Promote the construction of a win-win cooperation and open system, comprehensively improve the level of opening up, promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, promote the joint development of the "Belt and Road" and support an open, transparent, inclusive and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system. Actively develop global partnerships, enhance political mutual trust and deepen pragmatic cooperation with countries around the world. Make unremitting efforts to improve global governance,Firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at the core, the international order based on international law and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, safeguard and practice true multilateralism, and actively promote the development of economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction.
Third, firmly grasp the essential requirements of Chinese modernization
The essential requirements of Chinese modernization are: adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, achieving high-quality development, developing people’s democracy in the whole process, enriching people’s spiritual world, achieving common prosperity for all people, promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature, promoting the construction of a community of human destiny and creating a new form of human civilization. Guided by the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, we should firmly grasp the essential requirements of Chinese modernization and push forward the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
(1) Thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, and provide scientific theoretical guidance for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. The Party’s establishment of the core position of the Party Central Committee and the whole Party, and the guiding position of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era reflect the common aspiration of the whole Party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, which is of decisive significance to the development of the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and the historical process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We should deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", strengthen "four consciousnesses", strengthen "four self-confidences" and achieve "two maintenance", constantly improve political judgment, political understanding and political execution, always maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and more firmly and consciously arm our minds, guide practice and promote work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era.
(2) Adhere to and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party, and ensure that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is promoted in an all-round way with Chinese modernization and always advances in the right direction. The most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, and the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership. Upholding the party’s leadership over all work is the root and lifeline of the party and the country, and the interests and happiness of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. To promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, we must uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party, implement and embody it in all aspects of reform, development, stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and manage the party, country and army, and ensure that the Party’s core role of commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties is fully exerted.
(3) Grasp the mission and tasks of the Party in the new era and new journey, and do a good job in the implementation of the major strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a macro outlook on the two-step strategic arrangement of building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, focusing on the strategic tasks and major initiatives in the next five years. We should base ourselves on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, consciously align with the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, and timely calibrate deviations, so as to ensure that all major arrangements of the CPC Central Committee are implemented and effective, and make due contributions to promoting Chinese modernization and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
