Abstract:

The process of modernization in China is called as rushing out from the “Historical Three Gorges”. The CPC has a firm will to realize modernization. During the new democratic revolution, CPC targeted at building a modern China and set up a historical platform for modernization. The 3^rd Plenary Session of the 11^th Central Committee of the CPC restarted the journey of modernization. DENG Xiao-ping boosted China’s modernization in the following three aspects: first, rectifying the name of modernization; second, taking the developed countries as the frame of reference of modernization and pointing out catching up with the times as the aim of reform; third, admitting the particularity of China’s situation so as to propose the road to socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics. In the new era, XI Jin-ping follows the firm will of modernization and strives forward after inheriting several generations of leaders. On the one hand, in the wide-spread trend of anti-globalization, he insists on globalization and the idea of opening up firmly; on the other hand, in face of the internal trend that “modernization equals westernization”, he distinguishes modernization from westernization by sticking to modernization while denying complete westernization. Meanwhile, XI regards the modernization of the state governance system and that of the governance capability as integral components of socialist modernization.

Key words: CPC, modernization, will
