  Chinese modernization is based on the leadership of the party.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the foundation for the prosperity of the country and the nation and the happiness and well-being of the people of all ethnic groups in the country." Adhering to the party’s overall leadership is the fundamental guarantee for Chinese modernization to always adhere to the fundamental direction of socialism and forge ahead towards the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Ensure that Chinese modernization always has a strong leadership core. As a developing country with a large population, China is bound to bear all kinds of pressures and severe challenges that other countries have never encountered in the historical process of modernization. Only by adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership can Chinese modernization have a strong leadership core and overcome various risks and challenges on the road ahead. It is under the strong leadership of the party that the top-level design of China’s socialist modernization has been continuously improved and the political guarantee has become stronger. It took decades to complete the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, socialist modernization has marched with great success, and historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state, which has laid a solid development foundation and created many favorable conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

  Ensure that Chinese modernization always advances in the right direction. Socialist modernization is an unprecedented undertaking, and there is no ready-made experience to follow, so it is bound to advance in exploration. Only by upholding the party’s leadership can we ensure that Chinese modernization will always move forward firmly in the right direction. In the new era, the Party’s overall leadership has been fully implemented and reflected in various fields such as reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and the management of the party, the country and the army. The Party’s core role of overall planning and coordination of all parties has been fully exerted, and the Party’s ruling ability and leadership level have been continuously improved, which has provided the correct direction for promoting and expanding Chinese modernization.

  Ensure that Chinese modernization will always maintain strong vitality. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the backbone of the people of Chinese and the Chinese nation. In the course of long-term struggle, our party has continuously promoted the development of the cause of the party and the state with the sobriety and firmness of "rushing to the exam". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, effectively coping with the "four major tests" and resolutely overcoming the "four dangers", and the Party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal have been significantly enhanced. Our Party leads the great social revolution with the great self-revolution, leads the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics to win new victories, and injects great vitality into Chinese modernization.

  Chinese modernization takes socialism as the fundamental direction.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The modernization we are promoting is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC)". The essential attribute of socialism determines the fundamental nature and direction of Chinese modernization, and highlights the unique advantages of Chinese modernization.

  Adhere to the people-centered development thought. The people’s position is the fundamental political position of Marxist political parties. Different from the capital-centered modernization in the west, Chinese modernization always adheres to the people-centered development thought, thus forming a correct concept of development and modernization. The Chinese-style modernization concept of development and modernization is embodied in the people’s sense of gain, happiness and security, which is more substantial, more secure and more sustainable. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have won the battle against poverty as scheduled, built a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled, and the Millennium expectation of China people has come true. The people-centered development thought has condensed great power for the successful promotion of Chinese modernization; The continuous advancement of Chinese modernization has brought visible and tangible benefits to the broad masses of the people, which are beneficial to both the present and the long-term.

  Unswervingly push for common prosperity. Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism. Chinese modernization is committed to promoting social fairness and justice and gradually realizing the common prosperity of all people by consciously and actively solving the regional gap, the urban-rural gap and the income distribution gap. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has deeply studied the goals of different stages in the process of leading and promoting Chinese modernization, emphasizing the promotion of common prosperity by stages. In the process of modernization, it constantly promotes common prosperity, profoundly embodies the socialist essential stipulation of Chinese modernization, and highlights the distinct advantages of Chinese modernization compared with western polarized modernization.

  Promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society. It is the unremitting pursuit of socialism to promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society. Chinese-style modernization aims at promoting the all-round development of human beings and the all-round progress of society, and is committed to promoting the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, thus surpassing the modernization of western materialism. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has persisted in taking economic construction as the center, promoted the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinated the promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layouts, laying a solid foundation and providing a strong guarantee for promoting the all-round development of people and social progress.

  Adhere to the path of peaceful development. Chinese-style modernization adheres to the path of peaceful development, benefits the world while developing itself, promotes the building of a community of human destiny, and constantly injects strong positive energy into world peace and development, which not only embodies the law of socialist construction, but also embodies the law of human social development, and realizes the transcendence of modernization of western expansion and plunder. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the concept of a community of human destiny, China has held high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, promoted the common values of all mankind, promoted global development and global security, enriched the path selection of human civilization towards modernization, and expanded the way for developing countries to modernize.

  Chinese modernization aims at national rejuvenation.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the past 100 years, all the struggles, sacrifices and creations that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the people of China in unity have come down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the historical aspiration of Chinese people and the great dream of the Chinese nation, and it is also the goal of Chinese modernization.

  National rejuvenation has become the mission pursuit of Chinese modernization. After modern times, China was passively involved in the process of world modernization led by the West, and the Chinese nation, which suffered unprecedented disasters, began to explore a modernization road suitable for itself and made unremitting efforts to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It can be said that China’s exploration of the road to modernization has the dual connotation of realizing modernization and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation from the beginning. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has anchored the goal of Chinese modernization. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the people of China have successfully embarked on the road of Chinese modernization, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

  National rejuvenation highlights the internal logic of Chinese modernization. All the struggles that our Party unites and leads the people of China are aimed at building our country into a modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the historical process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our party keeps pace with the times to promote theoretical innovation and practical innovation, deepen its understanding, mature its strategy and enrich its practice in building a socialist modern country, and always firmly grasp the internal logic of Chinese modernization. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core proposed to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power in two steps in the middle of this century, and defined a series of new features of Chinese modernization, which provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual strength for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  National rejuvenation stimulates the spiritual power of Chinese modernization. Exploring the road to modernization is a hard course, which cannot be separated from the support of strong spiritual strength. Over the past hundred years, our party has always regarded the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its historical mission, and the realization of modernization as the historical ambition, unswerving goal, powerful motive force for continuous struggle and mission of seeking happiness for the people, which has provided lasting and strong spiritual motivation for promoting Chinese modernization. Inspired by this powerful spiritual power, our party united and led the people of China to successfully embark on the road of Chinese modernization and create a new form of human civilization. Pushing forward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization and strutting along the right path of our own choice will surely build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power.
