Historicalbackground
Modernization,asaworldtrend,isthegoalestablishedbytheChinesenation.AsearlyastheendoftheOpiumWar,advancedChineseintellectualsbegantoexploreandseekthemodernizationoftheChinesenationpathof.Undertheshockofforeigngunsandcannons,peopleofinsighthavesuccessivelyputforwardtheslogansof"learningfrombarbarianstodevelopskillstotreatbarbarians"and"learningfromtheWestandsavingChina."Theessenceofthe"HundredDaysReform"andthedemocraticrevolutionledbythegreatrevolutionarypioneerSunYat-senistofindawaytorejuvenateChinaandrealizeChina'smodernizationassoonaspossible.
Sinceitsfoundingin1921,theCommunistPartyofChinahasalwaysregardedtheexplorationofthecompleteliberationofthenationandthemoderndevelopmentoftheChinesenationasitshistoricalmission.TheCommunistsbelievethatinordertofundamentallychangeonebyonebackwardnessandrealizethemodernizationofthecountryassoonaspossible,wemustfirstorganizethepeopletoreformtheoldsocialsystem,overthrowtheoldstatepower,removethesocialsystemobstaclestoChina’smodernization,andestablishapeople’sdemocraticregime.Thenonthebasisofthenewsystem,itistherightchoicetodeveloptheeconomy,reformpolitics,prosperculture,andrealizethemodernizationofthecountry.Inthe28yearsfrom1921to1949,theChineseCommunistPartyledthepeopleofthewholecountryinbloodybattles,putforwardthetheoryofthenewdemocraticrevolution,andfiguredoutawaytomaketheChinesenationpoliticallyindependentanddevelopthenationaleconomy,therebyenablingChinatorealizeindustrializationandmodernizationassoonaspossible.KangzhuangAvenueandDalu.
NewChinawasfoundedin1949,andtheCommunistPartyofChinabeganthehistoricalprocessofbuildingChina’sindustrializationandmodernization.AttheSecondPlenarySessionoftheSeventhCentralCommitteeinMarch1949,MaoZedongproposedthemodernizationtaskof"rapidlyrestoringanddevelopingproduction,andsteadilytransformingChinafromanagriculturalcountrytoanindustrialcountry."IntheThirdNationalPeople'sCongressin1964,ZhouEnlai'sgovernmentworkreportfurtherputforwardthegoalofachievingthe"fourmodernizations"intwostepsbytheendofthiscentury.EspeciallysincetheThirdPlenarySessionoftheEleventhCentralCommitteein1978,buildingaprosperous,democratic,andcivilizedmodernsocialistcountryhasbecomethegrandgoalofourpartyintheprimarystageofsocialism.The15thNationalCongressoftheCommunistPartyofChinaestablishedanimportantstrategicplanfordevelopingasocialistmarketeconomyandpushingthecauseofsocialistmodernizationwithChinesecharacteristicsintothe21stcentury.
ThemodernizationtrendoftheChinesenationthatbeganin1840hasdevelopedalongwiththedevelopmentofworldhistoryandtheriseoftheChinesenation.FromlearningfromtheWest,reformingpolitics,developingindustrialeducation,tothebourgeoisdemocraticrevolution,tothenewdemocraticrevolution,thesocialistrevolution,andeventoday’sreformandopeningup;differentviewsandpropositionsonbuildingsocialismwithChinesecharacteristicshavebeenexpressed.TheChinesepeople'sunderstandingofmodernizationindifferentperiodsalsoreflectsthattheChinesepeople'sunderstandingofmodernizationhasgonethroughalongandcomplicatedprocess,whichisaprocessfromconsciousnesstomaturity.
InDengXiaoping’ssoutherntalks,heputforwardanewtheoryofsocialisteconomicconstruction.DengXiaopingtooktheleadinbreakingthroughthetraditionalconceptofantagonizingplannedeconomyandmarketeconomy,andputforwardimportantideassuchas"Socialismalsohasmarketregulation","Planandmarketarebotheconomicregulationmeans",andintegratethemarketeconomyandthesocialistsystemtobuildThesocialistmarketeconomicsystemwithChinesecharacteristicsenablescommodityproductiontoadapttomarketdemand,andtointegratewiththeinternationalmarket,andtoimprovetheinternationalcompetitivenessofChinesecommodities.

Afterdecadesofextensiveeconomicgrowth,China’seconomyhasseriousenvironmentalandecologicalproblems,suchasacidrain,noise,garbage,watercrisis,desertification,airpollution,Thereductionofarablelandandthegreenhouseeffecthavealwaysplaguedpeople’slives.TheCentralCommitteeofthePartyputspopulationcontrol,resourceconservation,andenvironmentalprotectioninanimportantposition,sothatpopulationgrowthcanbeadaptedtothedevelopmentofsocialproductivity,andeconomicconstructioncanbecoordinatedwithresourcesandtheenvironmenttoachievebenignity.Thefocusofthecycleisalsotobenefitallgenerations.

ComradeDengXiaopingbelievesthatintheprocessofplanningtheentiresocialmodernization,theconstructionofsocialistdemocracymustberaisedtoanewstrategicheight.Heclearlypointedout:Withoutdemocracy,therewouldbenosocialism,andtherewouldbenosocialistmodernization.Atthesametime,italsopointedoutthatdemocraticconstructionshouldtakethepathoflegalization,strengthentheconstructionofsocialistlegalsystem,andbringthesocialistmarketeconomyintothetrackoflegalization.ThisisaleapinourunderstandingofsocialistmodernizationwithChinesecharacteristics.

Themodernizationgoalisanimportantpartofthemodernizationconstruction.Whetheritissetscientificallyandrationallyisrelatedtothesuccessorfailureofthemodernizationconstruction.
Weknowthatmodernizationisaprocessofdynamicdevelopment,andthegoalofmodernizationisalsocontinuousdevelopment.Indifferenthistoricalperiods,thegoalsofmodernizationhavedifferenthistoricaldefinitions,andtheirformulationsandexpressionswillvarywiththedevelopmentofproductiveforcesanddifferenttimes.Therefore,sincethefoundingofNewChina,ourpartyhascontinuedtodevelopandimprovemycountry'ssocialistmodernizationgoalsinaccordancewiththedevelopmentstatusoftheproductiveforcesandthedevelopmentrequirementsofthetimesafterlong-termexploration.
Thefirstgenerationoftheparty’scentralleadershipwithMaoZedongasthecoreoncebelievedthatChina’sindustrializationfirstisthebasisandprerequisitefortherealizationofsocialistmodernization.
Therefore,inApril1945,MaoZedongputforwardthethoughtofChina’sindustrializationinhis"OntheCoalitionGovernment"report:"InordertodefeattheJapaneseinvadersandbuildanewChina,industrymustbedeveloped.""NoIndustryhasnosolidnationaldefense,nopeople’swelfare,nocountry’sprosperity."
AttheSecondPlenarySessionoftheSeventhCentralCommitteeheldinMarch1949,MaoZedongfurtherpointedout:"Afterthevictoryoftherevolution,TherapidrecoveryanddevelopmentofproductionhasenabledChinatosteadilytransformfromanagriculturalcountrytoanindustrialcountryandbuildChinaintoagreatsocialistcountry.”ItcanbeseenthatMaoZedongsetthegoalofChina’smodernizationconstructiontoachievethecountry’sindustrializationinthishistoricalperiod..
Until1954,accordingtoMaoZedong’srequest,ZhouEnlaiannouncedthegrandgoalofthe"fourmodernizations"forthefirsttimeinthegovernmentworkreport,andclearlystated:"Oureconomywasoriginallyverybackward.Ifwedonotbuildstrongmodernindustry,modernagriculture,moderntransportationandmodernnationaldefense,wewillnotbeabletogetridofbackwardnessandpoverty,andourrevolutionwillnotbeabletoachievethegoal."Itcanbesaidthatthisisourparty’srightThefirstexpressionofthegoalofthesocialist"fourmodernizations",andthe"fourmodernizations"havebeenthegoalofmycountry'ssocialistmodernizationconstructioneversince.However,the"fourmodernizations"proposedherearejustarudimentaryform.
UntilthefirstmeetingoftheThirdNationalPeople’sCongressinDecember1964,ZhouEnlaiformallyproposedtothewholepartyandthepeopleofthewholecountry:Tobecomeapowerfulsocialistcountrywithmodernagriculture,modernindustry,modernnationaldefense,andmodernscienceandtechnology,tocatchupwithandexceedtheworld'sadvancedlevel."Sofar,the"fourmodernizations"havebecomethegoalofmycountry'ssocialistmodernization.
Fromtheabove,wecanconcludethatthefirstgenerationoftheparty’scentralleadershipgroupwithMaoZedongatthecoreestablishedthe"fourmodernizations"goalsaccordingtothedevelopmentrequirementsofthetimesandChina’sspecificrealities.Itistheconstructionofsocialistmaterialcivilization.
AftertheThirdPlenarySessionoftheEleventhCentralCommitteeoftheCommunistPartyofChina,thesecond-generationcentralleadershipgroupwithDengXiaopingasthecoreunderthehistoricalconditionsthatpeaceanddevelopmentbecamethethemeofthetimes,whilecompletingtheguidingideologytosetthingsrightDevelopthegoalofsocialistmodernizationconstructionofthe"fourmodernizations"intoagoalofsocialistmodernizationconstructionof"prosperity,democracy,andcivilization."Italsoclearlypointedoutthatthesocialistmodernizationconstructionmustadheretothecoordinateddevelopmentofmaterialcivilizationandspiritualcivilization,adheretothepolicyof"graspingwithbothhands,andwithbothhands,"tocarryoutmycountry'ssocialistmodernizationconstruction.

Afterthe16thNationalCongressoftheCommunistPartyofChina,thecentralleadershipgroupwithHuJintaoasthegeneralsecretaryputforwardnewideasforestablishingascientificoutlookondevelopmentandbuildingaharmonioussocialistsocietyinaccordancewiththenewcharacteristicsofsocialdevelopmentatthisstage.AttheThirdPlenarySessionoftheSixthCentralCommittee,itwasproposedto"adheretothepeople-oriented,comprehensive,coordinatedandsustainabledevelopmentconcept,andpromotetheall-rounddevelopmentofeconomy,societyandpeople",andpromotethereformanddevelopmentofvariousundertakingsinaccordancewiththerequirementsof"fiveoverallplans."AttheFourthPlenarySessionofthe16thCentralCommitteeoftheParty,thebuildingofasocialistharmonioussocietywasunifiedwiththeconstructionofsocialistmaterialcivilization,politicalcivilization,andspiritualcivilization.AttheSixthPlenarySessionofthe16thCentralCommitteeoftheCommunistPartyofmycountry,itwasclearlypointedout:"Wemustbuildourcountryintoaprosperous,democratic,civilized,andharmonioussocialistmoderncountry."Sofar,thegoalof"prosperous,democratic,civilized,andharmonious"socialistmodernizationEventuallyformed.

Itcanbesaidthatthegoalof"socialharmony"isputforwardonthebasisofthepreviousgoalsofsocialistmodernization,whichembodiesbothinheritanceandinnovation.Theadditionoftheword"harmony"showsthatmycountry'ssocialistmodernizationconstructionpaysmoreattentiontothecoordinationoftherelationsbetweenpeople,peopleandsociety,andpeopleandnature,andpaysmoreattentiontotheunityofqualityandquantity,processandresults,objectivelawsandvalues..Unlikethepreviousone-sidedemphasisonrapideconomicdevelopment,theecologicalenvironmenthasbeendestroyed,whilethelevelofproductiontechnologyhasnotimproved,andtheindustrialstructureandproductstructurehavenotimproved.mycountry’ssocialistmodernization,with"harmony"asoneofitsimportantgoals,isfollowingthepathofinsistingontheorganicunityofscientificdevelopmentandsocialharmony.Themodernizationdevelopmentpaththatthecountryhastraversediscompletelydifferent.
