ZHANG Xiaomeng: Chinese Modernization Is a Brand-New Form of Human Civilization

Chinese modernization is rooted in the best of China's traditional culture, reflects the advanced nature of scientific socialism, and draws on the outstanding achievements of all human civilization. It represents a brand-new form of human civilization.

Chinese modernization leads a country with an ultra-large population toward modernization. It continuously provides new opportunities for the world through its own new developments, ensures that the outcomes of modernization are shared by people of all countries more fully and more equitably, and offers wisdom and solutions for humanity’s exploration of better social systems.

Chinese modernization has shattered the myth that modernization equals Westernization, and has presented a new approach for achieving modernization. It has set an example for developing nations to pursue modernization independently.

Chinese modernization promotes the shared values of humanity, gathers the greatest common divisor for creating a better world, advances the reshaping of the global modernization landscape, and contributes Chinese wisdom and strength to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Chinese modernization redefines the civilization form of modernization, guiding it to leap to a higher level and opening up broader prospects for the flourishing of the world’s diverse civilizations.
