The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held on Sunday (October 16). General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a report summarizing the past, looking forward to the future, and declaring the central task of the CPC in the future.
Xi Jinping first summed up the achievements of the ten years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and did three major things: first, ushering in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China; second, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era; third, completing poverty alleviation and building a moderately prosperous society The historical task of society is to achieve the goal of the first centenary (the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China).
Looking forward to the future, Xi Jinping said that from now on, the central task of the CCP is to build a powerful modern socialist country in an all-round way, to achieve the goal of the second centenary (that is, the centenary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China), and to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese-style modernization.
The term “Chinese-style modernization” is quite new. In his report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping said that Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China.
To build China into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way, the overall strategic arrangement is to take two steps: from 2020 to 2035 to basically achieve socialist modernization; from 2035 to the middle of this century to build my country into a A powerful modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful. The next five years are a critical period to get started.
Xi Jinping said that Chinese-style modernization is a modernization with a huge population, common prosperity of all people, coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and a path of peaceful development.
He mentioned five characteristics of Chinese-style modernization, such as pointing out the difficulties and characteristics of China’s modernization: 1. China is a large country with a population of 1.4 billion, and it is more difficult to develop than a country with a population of 200 million or 300 million; The people are rich, and they do not want the problem of one to ninety-nine in the West, that is, one percent of the rich accounts for a large amount of the country’s wealth, and the streets are full of homeless people; 3. China does not want to develop only material civilization, degenerate spiritual civilization, and abuse drugs and drugs. It is prevalent, marijuana is sold legally, and shootings are habitual; 4. Minimize per capita energy consumption, and do not want China to consume too much energy when it enters the level of developed countries; In the past 30 years, 251 foreign wars or military interventions have been launched.
China needs to be different from the West and take a different path of modernization. This is called “system confidence.” It is believed that China does not need to blindly follow the Western model. China can be more successful by taking a different path.
This is a powerful theoretical response to the U.S. positioning of the Sino-U.S. dispute as a “democracy versus authoritarian” contest. Not only does China have “the whole process of democracy”, it is not a democracy that only depends on public opinion during elections, but more importantly, China’s modernization development is more balanced, and in the end, it will be better than Western-style development in all aspects.
The United States often wants to change China’s political system and claims to believe that trade with China will eventually lead to changes in China’s socialist system.
Xi Jinping not only emphasized that socialism with Chinese characteristics will persist for a long time, but also showed that Chinese-style modernization provides a new option for mankind to realize modernization.
He indirectly denied the regime change of Western-style democracy, and also denied that the Eastern system must have a cycle of governance and chaos. He believed that through vigorous anti-corruption and self-improvement, “the Party has found the answer to self-revolution, which jumps out of the historical cycle of chaos and chaos.” The party will never deteriorate, change color, or taste.”
Regarding the challenge to China from the Western world led by the United States, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need for a fighting spirit, saying that “it is required to increase the awareness of urgency, adhere to bottom-line thinking, be prepared for danger in times of safety, plan ahead, and be prepared to withstand the major test of high winds and even stormy waves… It is required to strengthen the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the people of the whole country, not to believe in evil, not afraid of ghosts, not afraid of pressure, to advance despite difficulties, to face them, to coordinate development and security, to make every effort to overcome all difficulties and challenges on the way forward, and to rely on tenacious struggle to open up business develop a new world.”
Regarding the key to China’s modernization development, Xi Jinping emphasized technology and talents, “We must insist that technology is the primary productive force, talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force.”
Summarizing the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I see: 1. A blueprint for building Chinese-style modernization, and its development model is better than that of the West; 2. There is a clear roadmap for industrial development, and innovation and technology to rejuvenate the country; From now to 2049, it will take China 27 years to develop into a great modern country, and the next five years will be a crucial year to start.
