The Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the people in blazing a new trail of socialist modernization through long-term exploration. As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "Under the leadership of the CPC, the people have not only created the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability rarely seen in the world, but also successfully embarked on the Chinese-style modernization road and created a new form of human civilization." China's path of modernization stands on the right side of history and on the side of human progress. China's determination to move forward is unmatched. This determination is based on Marxist scientific theories, a deep understanding of the laws of history, and a precise understanding of China's basic national conditions and the trend of The Times.

The Chinese path of modernization has grasped the law that basic social contradictions drive social development. In the history of human thought, the great contribution of Marxism lies in the establishment of historicism on the theoretical basis of historical materialism. Marx and Engels scientifically revealed the answer to the mystery of human history. By expounding the contradictory movement between productive forces and relations of production, economic foundation and superstructure, they expounded the general law that this basic social contradiction dominates the development process of human history. This great discovery has epoch-making significance in the history of thought and provides a new theoretical explanation for people to understand and grasp the essential motivation and internal inevitability behind the history of human society. Only by adhering to this basic Marxist principle can we profoundly grasp the logic and laws of historical progress. The Road of Modernization of Chinese style is based on the law of basic contradiction theory of society, and it is a practical creation in accordance with marxist thought on the law of human social development. This has laid the foundation for our firm and confident view of history and set the direction that China must adhere to in its modernization drive.

Historically speaking, the Chinese modernization path and its great creation are the product of the CPC's systematic and concrete analysis of the changes in China's social movements by applying historical materialism, and the inevitable result of a profound insight into the laws of historical development in the course of history. It is an unprecedented initiative to modernize a socialist country with a large population and relatively backward economy and culture. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, our Party independently explored its own path and accumulated valuable historical experience, both positive and negative. After the third plenary session of the eleventh, we reform, opening up and socialist modernization construction, is to go his own way, push forward socialism with Chinese characteristics is regular, its core essence is to rely on the innovation of production relations to activate the endogenous driving force of the development of the social productivity, at the same time rely on the improvement of the superstructure to adapt to the economic base. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "To uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must constantly adjust the relations of production in response to the development of productive forces and improve the superstructure in response to the development of the economic foundation." "We are reforming the economic system, the political, cultural, social, ecological and Party-building systems for this purpose." A deep grasp of the movement of basic social contradictions and its development trend is the logical manifestation of the regularity of China's modernization road and the fundamental reason for China's great achievements in economic and social development since the reform and opening up. In the new era, the CPC is leading the people in comprehensively deepening reform and opening up, and promoting overall reform and systematic remodeling in many areas. The purpose is also to follow the universal law of history to promote all-round development of society and bring about comprehensive effects in China's modernization drive. On the whole, history has eloquently demonstrated that the road of Modernization of Chinese style opened a new civilization form of "five-in-one" in the overall logic of grasping the basic social contradictions, and achieved a transcendence over the western modernization with the expansion of materialism as the core. One of the outstanding manifestations of the latter is to ignore the development of spiritual civilization and the satisfaction of spiritual life, while another common historical characteristic is to build industrialization and modernization on the cost of energy consumption and environmental sacrifice.

The road of Chinese modernization has realized the unity of regularity and purpose in practice. The law of history has "two faces", which is not only the law of social object movement, but also the law of historical subject activity. Engels once used "the law of people's own social action" to describe the law of human historical development. Its deep meaning lies in that the basic social contradiction itself is embedded in the subject factor, and it is impossible to understand the regular movement of social structure without the essence of human perceptual activities. Marxism truly reveals its inherent law from the inside of history, which is not the "iron law" as a blind force of compulsion, but the internal inevitability embedded in the initiative and purpose of the people as the subject of history. In this sense, the regular development process of the Chinese-style modernization road created by the people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China must be realized through the purposeful social action of the historical subject. The greatest practical significance of the Road of Chinese modernization is to adapt to it and meet the people's purposeful value in accordance with the law of history.

The essence of socialist modernization is human modernization. The question of why people is a principle question that reveals the basic nature and superiority of China's modernization. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once pointed out, "The superiority of socialism, in the final analysis, lies in the fact that the productive forces of socialism develop faster and higher than those of capitalism and, on the basis of the development of the productive forces, constantly improve the material and cultural life of the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping further emphasized in the new Era: "Our goal is ambitious, but also simple. Ultimately, it is to enable all Chinese people to live a better life." He stressed that people-centered governance is our fundamental philosophy. The Chinese way of modernization practices the thought of people-centered development, which, in terms of its essence, demonstrates the value logic of people-first in the orientation of socialism. Taking the people as the party's subjective support for governing and rejuvenating the country and unswervingly following the path of common prosperity for all is the strategic orientation and comparative advantage of the Chinese-style modernization road. As we all know, in the modern society dominated by western capital logic, consumerism prevails and market logic becomes the guiding principle for interpersonal relations. Meanwhile, the gap between the rich and the poor becomes more and more serious, social problems become prominent, and the rights and interests of disadvantaged groups such as the people at the bottom cannot be protected. In sharp contrast, one of the important characteristics of Chinese modernization is to realize the consistency of adhering to the people's dominant position and grasping the law of history at the practical level, and to scientifically grasp the dialectical unity of material modernization and human modernization. On the one hand, we have taken happiness for the people as the focus of social development in practice, worked to improve people's lives through high-quality development, and given top priority to improving the quality and quality of life of the people in China's modernization drive. On the other hand, we have made our development more balanced, coordinated and inclusive while adhering to the bottom-line approach. In particular, we have attached great importance to ensuring that all benefits are met and that the basic needs are met.

The Chinese road of modernization declared the bankruptcy of the single-line view of history that all countries should ultimately take the western system model as their destination. The universality of historical law exists in the particularity of practical conditions of various countries, while the pure and eternal law of social development beyond time and space only exists in the minds of subjectivists. The diversity of historical and cultural traditions and practical conditions determines the diversity of development paths and models of various countries. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that there is no one-size-fits-all development path in the world. If all things were one, the progress of things, the progress of the world, would cease. That is to say, due to different national conditions, each country's development path has its own particularity, so it cannot be evaluated abstractively in isolation from specific social and historical conditions. Only the path of modernization that is rooted in one's own soil and transcends narrow nationalism is the most reliable, effective and consistent with the historical rules governing the development of human society.

The modernization we pursue must be modernization with Chinese characteristics that suits China's realities. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "China has a vast territory and a large population. To achieve development and rejuvenation, it is important for China to follow its own path based on its national conditions. What has happened shows that China's new path of modernization is getting wider and wider. It will better develop itself and benefit the world." Proceeding from China's basic national conditions, the CPC has emancipated the mind, sought truth from facts, adhered to integrity and innovation, listened to the voice of the people, and responded to the needs of the present. It has embarked on a path of socialist modernization that is rooted in the Chinese nation and carried forward the Chinese civilization. At the same time, we should also realize that China's modernization path is the right path for mankind, and its contribution is not only historic, but also worldwide. This contribution across time and space conditions is mainly manifested in three aspects. First, it opened up the new possibility of developing countries towards modernization, in the history of the world sense created new models of social progress for human society development provides a version of the scientific socialism modernization, broke the modernization only by the western system model the myth of the road, in fact completely history "conclusion" was declared bankrupt. Second, it has resolutely rejected the old road of modernization pursued by the West in expansion and plunder, followed the path of peaceful development, and opposed the law of the jungle where the strong bully the weak. By promoting a new type of international relations, it has blazed a new trail of state-to-state relations featuring dialogue rather than confrontation and partnership rather than alliance. Thirdly, it conforms to the world development trend, promote to build human destiny community bear in a more active attitude to participate in global governance and promote formed in seeking linkage development positive spillover effect, for solving the common contradiction in human society provides China solutions, wisdom and strength, to promote the wheel of human history in the orbit of history rolls on.
