2023-09-06
It not only profoundly clarifies the diversity of the modernization path and its determinants, but also vividly demonstrates the unique advantages of Chinese path to modernization in terms of value orientation, development concept, thinking mode, action logic, etc. Chinese path to modernization is a modernization with a huge population, a modernization of common prosperity for all people, and a better life for all people. It transcends the value orientation of western modern individualism and the persistent malady of the polarization between rich and poor, thus demonstrating the value advantage. Western modernization is a modernization centered around capital, and under the instigation of liberal ideology, the principle of prioritizing capital and putting individuals first has become a universal principle in capitalist society. The maximization of the personal interests of capitalists has become the "invisible hand" that dominates the logic of capital, leading to a widening gap between rich and poor, increasingly severe social stratification, economic stagnation, political polarization, populism, social unrest, and ecological crises. In contrast, Chinese path to modernization is a socialist modernization led by the CPC. As the essential feature of Chinese path to modernization, common prosperity of all people is not only the ideal goal of Marxism, but also in line with the "way of governing the country and enriching the people" in the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has adhered to the development concept of putting the people at the center, placing solid promotion of common prosperity for all people in a more prominent position, and continuously achieving positive progress and new results. Chinese path to modernization is the modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization, which promotes the comprehensive enrichment of things and the comprehensive development of people, surpassing the alienation reality of western modernization of human and material servitude, thus demonstrating the development advantage. Western modernization is led by the logic of things. Capitalism's worship of private property leads to the domination and rule of things over people, hindering their free and comprehensive development. At the beginning of Western modernization, the productive forces created by the bourgeoisie during its less than a hundred years of class rule were greater and greater than the total productive forces created in all previous eras. However, behind the accumulation of material wealth is the rampant flow of material desires, the expansion of personal desires, and spiritual poverty. The development logic of seeing things but not people makes people become "one-dimensional people", and society degenerates into a "one-dimensional society". In contrast, Chinese path to modernization pursues the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. This not only adheres to the Marxist ideology of the dialectical relationship between "two civilizations", but also inherits the concept of "etiquette is known when the granary is solid, and honor and disgrace are known when the clothing and food are sufficient" in excellent traditional Chinese culture. On the new journey, only by doing a good job in both material and spiritual civilization construction, can the country's material and cultural soft power be enhanced, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country have a comprehensive wealth of goods
