Thinking and Research Around China's Modernization

Abstract

1 Definition of modernization; 2 The process of China's modernization; 3 Achievements brought by modernization; 4 The gap between the rich and the poor; 5 Summary;6In addition to establishing a modern state and pooling resources to initiate industrialization, China's road to modernization also entails the reconstruction and renewal of civilization. This unique historical situation makes it necessary to lay the foundation for China's modernization through a thorough social revolution, and the convergence of modernization and Marxism makes this social revolution historically adopt a socialist orientation. Chinese modernization is thus deeply imprinted with the special gene of civilizational enlightenment. Compared with the West, Chinese modernization has achieved a double transcendence of the Western-style modernization logic of capital taking over labor and controlling society and the parochial civilizational thinking of "clash of civilizations".
