A Political-Philosophical Analysis Of The Chinese-style Modernization

If we take the foreign affairs movement as the starting point,the modernization of China began in the 1860s,a century after the British industrial revolution.The historical conditions and background of China’s modernization determine that it is a postexogenous modernization.Chinese modernization has a deep historical background and ideological origin.The Marxist theory of modernization reveals why neither the reform of old China nor the bourgeois revolution could put China on the road to modernization;the socialist modernization theory of the Chinese Communist Party has gained consensus in China and created world-renowned achievements in the decades of reform and opening up.The opening up of the Chinese modernization path and theoretical exploration is a process from imitation to creation and then to transcendence.In terms of the basis of modernization,Chinese-style modernization is a modernization path based on China’s specific conditions;in terms of the realization path of modernization,Chinese-style modernization is a modernization path focusing on balanced and full development;in terms of the development goal,Chinese-style modernization path is a modernization path striving to build a community of human destiny.This reflects a profound political and philosophical theory,"people-centered"because the most fundamental difference between socialism and capitalism lies in the"logic of people" and "logic of capital".The reason for this is that China insists on distributive justice with the aim of "common prosperity for all people" instead of the free and unbridled exploitation of the weak and the strong,while the ideal of a community of human destiny aims to build a new world pattern so as to break out of the historical "hegemony of the strong".The goal of the community of human destiny is to build a new world pattern so as to break away from the historical limitation of "the strongest country must be hegemonic.From the perspective of political philosophy,the transcendental breakthrough of Chinese-style modernization over the "East meets West" reflects its important theoretical value.Chinese-style modernization transcends the contradiction between enlightenment and salvation,because the emancipation of the proletariat is both a salvation movement for national independence and an ideological enlightenment movement for Chinese people to move from being "subjects"in traditional society to being "citizens" in modern society.The establishment of"people’s sovereignty" has further advanced the modernization of Chinese citizens.Traditional Western political philosophy is based on atomized individualism,and"individual freedom" has become the basic presupposition of political philosophical analysis,which is determined by the specific historical and religious social environment of the West,and does not have objectivity and unity.Chinese-style modernization is an important theoretical topic of Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era.Chinese-style modernization emphasizes adhering to the socialist path,strengthening the socialist system with Chinese characteristics,enhancing the country’s comprehensive strength,promoting economic development and scientific and technological innovation,while focusing on the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture,which is an inevitable choice for the Party and the people to adhere to their own characteristics and values.Chinese-style modernization breaks the myth that modernization equals Westernization and provides a Chinese solution for mankind’s exploration of a better social system.Against the backdrop of the world’s unprecedented changes in the past century,China is in the midst of a strategic overall situation to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.In order to strengthen our determination and confidence in Chinesestyle modernization,we need to examine the important meaning of Chinese-style modernization with a broad vision of history and civilization.This will help us lead the way to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and make a greater contribution to the cause of peaceful development of the world and the development and progress of human civilization.
