On the Triple Worldwide Influence of Chinese-Path Modernization
吉启卫 田芝健:论中国式现代化的三重世界影响
Modernization is a worldwide trend; “realizing modernization has been the unremitting pursuit of the Chinese people since modern times, and it is also the common pursuit of the people of all countries.” [1]1 Quotation from Xi Jinping. Within the global system of modernization, Chinese-path modernization displays a unique charm: it both embodies the general features and laws of human societal modernization and presents Chinese characteristics grounded in the nation’s own conditions. Rooted in the fine traditional Chinese culture, virtues such as harmony being most precious, harmony in diversity, and a commonwealth for all under heaven have been inherited; based on the Marxist ideal of communism concerning human emancipation and the liberation of humanity; and founded on the Communist Party of China’s global vision and the essential unity of patriotism and internationalism—all this determines that Chinese-path modernization is not a modernization that seeks only its own well-being, but a modernization committed to seeking happiness for the Chinese people, rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, common good for the world, and progress for humanity. The “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese-Path Modernization” (hereinafter referred to as the “Decision”), deliberated and adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, makes systematic arrangements from the strategic height of the overall development of the Party and the state for further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization. [2]2 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC was held in July 2024. The “Decision” is a key policy document outlining comprehensive reforms to advance Chinese-path modernization. Focusing on the themes of “why modernization should be realized, what kind of modernization should be realized, how to realize modernization, and who should share the fruits of modernization,” the vivid exploration, great achievements, and bright prospects of Chinese-path modernization have profoundly changed and influenced the global landscape of modernization, contributed Chinese wisdom to building a better world, provided experience in modernization construction for developing countries, and produced significant and far-reaching worldwide influence.
现代化是一个世界性潮流,“实现现代化是近代以来中国人民的不懈追求,也是世界各国人民的共同追求”。在世界现代化体系中,中国式现代化展现出独特的魅力:既体现人类社会现代化的一般特征和规律,又呈现出基于本国国情的中国特色。基于中华优秀传统文化根基上传承来的和为贵、和而不同、天下大同美德,基于马克思主义关于人的解放、人类解放的共产主义理想追求,基于中国共产党人的天下情怀和爱国主义与国际主义有机统一的本质规定,这一切决定了中国式现代化不是独善其身的现代化,而是矢志为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴、为世界谋大同、为人类谋进步的现代化。党的二十届三中全会审议通过的《中共中央关于进一步全面深化改革 推进中国式现代化的决定》(以下简称《决定》)从党和国家事业发展全局的战略高度出发,对进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化问题作出系统部署。中国式现代化聚焦“为什么要实现现代化、实现什么样的现代化、怎样实现现代化、现代化成果由谁共享”主题进行的生动探索、取得的伟大成就和展现的光明前景,深刻改变和影响了现代化的世界版图,为建设更加美好的世界贡献了中国智慧,为广大发展中国家提供了现代化建设经验,产生了重大而深远的世界影响。
I. Chinese-Path Modernization Profoundly Changes and Influences the Global Landscape of Modernization
一、中国式现代化深刻改变和影响现代化的世界版图
Modernization is a global phenomenon; the process of human modernization originated in Western countries. “In the 18th century, major inventions such as the steam engine emerged, giving rise to the first industrial revolution and initiating the course of human societal modernization.” [3]3 Quotation from Xi Jinping. Yet after more than three hundred years of development, the number of countries that have truly achieved modernization remains very small. The vast majority of countries and the vast majority of the world’s population have not yet achieved modernization; the global landscape of modernization exhibits marked imbalance. China, as the world’s largest developing country, has solemnly put forward the grand goal of Chinese-path modernization, setting an example for developing countries pursuing and advancing modernization. The vivid exploration, great achievements, and bright prospects of Chinese-path modernization will profoundly change and influence the landscape of the distribution of the modernized population and the landscape of the enjoyment of modernization achievements, fill the blank in the landscape of socialist countries’ modernization, and produce important and far-reaching impacts on the cause of human modernization.
现代化是一个世界现象,人类现代化进程肇始于西方国家。“18世纪出现了蒸汽机等重大发明,成就了第一次工业革命,开启了人类社会现代化历程。” 但经历三百多年发展,真正实现现代化的国家屈指可数。世界上绝大多数国家、绝大多数人口还没有实现现代化,现代化的世界版图具有明显的不平衡性。中国作为世界上最大的发展中国家,郑重提出中国式现代化宏伟目标是发展中国家追求现代化、推进现代化的典范。中国式现代化的生动探索、伟大成就和光明前景将深刻改变和影响现代化人口分布版图、现代化成果享有版图,填补社会主义国家现代化的版图空白,对人类现代化事业产生重要而深远的影响。
(1) Chinese-Path Modernization Greatly Changes the Landscape of the Distribution of the Modernized Population
(一)中国式现代化极大地改变现代化人口分布版图
Modernization carries and embodies humanity’s expectations and aspirations for a better life; “realizing modernization is an inalienable right of all countries.” [4]4 Quotation from Xi Jinping. This profoundly indicates that, no matter how great the differences among countries in terms of territory, population size, economic strength, etc., the people of all countries equally enjoy the right to realize modernization. No country may be excluded, nor should it be; “on the path to modernization, not a single country or a single person should be left behind.” [5]5 Quotation from Xi Jinping. Looking at the world as a whole, currently only about twenty-odd countries have entered modernization, with a total population of around one billion, yet there are still over one hundred countries and more than seven billion people in the world that have not achieved modernization. The low number of countries and low population that have achieved modernization remain an indisputable fact. If the vast majority of countries and the vast majority of the population have not achieved modernization, such modernization is, in the final analysis, unbalanced, uneven, and incomplete modernization—in essence, a “private modernization” of a few countries and a few people. Only when the vast majority of countries and the vast majority of the world’s population achieve modernization will world modernization truly have appeal, influence, and attraction.
现代化承载和寄托着人类对美好生活的期待与向往,“实现现代化是世界各国不可剥夺的权利”。这就深刻表明,不论各国领土面积、人口数量、经济实力等存在多么大的差异,但各国人民都平等享有实现现代化的权利,不允许、更不能把某些国家排除在外,“现代化道路上一个都不能少,一国都不能掉队”。纵观全球,目前进入现代化的国家也就二十多个、总人口十亿左右,但世界上仍然有一百多个国家、七十多亿人口还没有实现现代化。实现现代化的国家数量和人口数量偏低仍然是一个不争的事实。如果绝大多数国家、绝大多数人口还没有实现现代化,这样的现代化归根结底还是不均衡、不平衡、不完整的现代化,说到底还是少数国家、少数人的“私有现代化”。只有世界上绝大多数国家、绝大多数人口实现现代化,世界现代化才真正有感召力、感染力和吸引力。
Chinese-path modernization is a modernization of a huge population scale; “the realization of modernization by China’s more than 1.4 billion people will be an unprecedented event in the history of human development.” [6]6 Quotation from Xi Jinping. This means that, on the one hand, when our country’s more than 1.4 billion people enter a modernized society as a whole, their number will exceed the total population of existing developed countries, more than doubling the current global modernized population and greatly increasing the total number of modernized people worldwide. On the other hand, Chinese-path modernization extends modernization from a few developed countries such as Europe and North America further to the East, completely rewriting the landscape of the distribution of the modernized population, enabling the ancient Eastern nation to join hands with modernization, promoting a more balanced distribution of the modernized population, profoundly breaking the narrow pattern in which modernization is confined to a small number of people and a small number of countries, and allowing more people in the world to embrace and achieve modernization.
中国式现代化是人口规模巨大的现代化,“中国14亿多人口实现现代化将是人类发展史上前所未有的大事”。这就意味着,一方面,我国14亿多人口整体迈入现代化社会,其规模将会超过现有发达国家人口总和,会使世界现代化人口数量在现有基础上翻一番多,极大地提高全世界现代化人口总量。另一方面,中国式现代化让现代化从欧洲、北美洲等少数发达国家继续扩展到世界东方,彻底改写现代化的人口分布版图,让古老的东方国度与现代化携手,促进现代化人口分布更加均衡,深刻打破现代化局限在少数人口、少数国家的狭隘格局,让世界上更多的人拥抱现代化和实现现代化。
(2) Chinese-Path Modernization Greatly Changes the Landscape of the Enjoyment of Modernization Achievements
(二)中国式现代化极大地改变现代化成果享有版图
Modernization is not an abstract or abstruse concept. Advancing modernization cannot stop at rhetoric, nor can it halt at the stage of thought. Enabling the people of all countries to fairly share the fruits of modernization is the starting point and ultimate goal of advancing world modernization. “Modernization is not a ‘patent’ of a few countries.” [7]7 Quotation from Xi Jinping. Nor are the fruits of modernization a “patent” that only a few people are entitled to enjoy. In reality, “global fairness issues are becoming increasingly prominent, and the development gap between the North and the South faces the risk of widening or even becoming entrenched.” [8]8 Quotation from Xi Jinping. If the issue of fair sharing remains unresolved for a long time, it will inevitably leave the vast majority of people excluded from the fruits of modernization, further exacerbating the risk of global instability.
现代化不是一个抽象的、玄奥的概念。推进现代化不能只停留在口头上,更不能止步于思想环节。让各国人民公平共享现代化成果是推进世界现代化的出发点和落脚点。“现代化不是少数国家的‘专利品’。” 现代化成果也不是只有少数人才配享有的“专利品”。从现实看,“全球公平性问题日益突出,南北发展差距面临扩大甚至固化的风险”。如果公平共享问题长期得不到有效解决,必然会让绝大多数人游离于现代化成果之外,进一步加剧世界动荡风险。
Chinese-path modernization is a people-centered modernization. On the one hand, Chinese-path modernization is a modernization that seeks well-being for the Chinese people. “The starting point and ultimate goal of Chinese-path modernization is to enable China’s more than 1.4 billion people to live a better life.” [9]9 Quotation from Xi Jinping. With its notable feature of a huge population scale, Chinese-path modernization not only greatly changes the landscape of the distribution of the modernized population but, more importantly, from the very beginning it has taken realizing, safeguarding, and developing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people as its lofty pursuit, never representing the interests of any interest groups, any powerful groups, or any privileged strata. When our country’s more than 1.4 billion people enter a modernized society as a whole and live a better life, this will inevitably greatly change the landscape of the sharing of modernization achievements and enhance the Chinese people’s sense of gain and happiness. On the other hand, Chinese-path modernization is a modernization that benefits the people of the world. “Any country pursuing modernization should uphold the principle of solidarity, cooperation, and common development, and take the path of joint contribution, shared benefits, and win-win outcomes.” [10]10 Quotation from Xi Jinping. China has always upheld the principle of solidarity, cooperation, and common development, held high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win outcomes, actively promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and welcomed all countries to board the express train of China’s development on the basis of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, so that the people of the world can share in the dividends of Chinese-path modernization. This will profoundly break the narrow pattern in which the fruits of modernization are exclusively enjoyed by a few countries and a few people, truly transforming modernization into a great cause that seeks benefits for the vast majority of people and enables the people of all countries to fairly share the fruits of modernization, thereby enhancing the inclusiveness of modernization achievements.
中国式现代化是以人民为中心的现代化。一方面,中国式现代化是为中国人民谋福祉的现代化。“中国式现代化的出发点和落脚点是让14亿多中国人民过上更加美好的生活。”中国式现代化以其人口规模巨大的显著特征不仅极大地改变了现代化人口分布版图,更为重要的是,中国式现代化从一开始就把实现好、维护好、发展好最广大人民群众的根本利益作为崇高追求,从来不代表任何利益集团、任何权势团体、任何特权阶层的利益。我国14亿多人口整体迈入现代化社会并且过上更加美好的生活必然会极大地改变现代化成果共享版图,增强中国人民的获得感、幸福感。另一方面,中国式现代化是造福世界人民的现代化。“任何国家追求现代化,都应该秉持团结合作、共同发展的理念,走共建共享共赢之路。” 中国始终秉持团结合作、共同发展的理念,高举和平、发展、合作、共赢的旗帜,积极推动构建人类命运共同体,欢迎世界各国在相互尊重、和平共处基础上搭乘中国发展快车,让世界人民共享中国式现代化红利。这将深刻打破现代化成果为少数国家、少数人独有的狭隘格局,真正把现代化变成为绝大多数人谋利益、现代化成果为世界各国人民公平共享的伟大事业,增强现代化成果的普惠性。
(3) Chinese-Path Modernization Fills the Blank in the Landscape of Socialist Countries’ Modernization
(三)中国式现代化填补社会主义国家现代化版图空白
Surveying the global landscape of modernization, the more than twenty countries that have entered modernization are all capitalist countries; socialist countries are not among them. Does this then mean that only capitalist countries are the sole subjects of modernization? Are socialist countries qualified to pursue modernization? Can socialist countries achieve modernization? These are not only fundamental questions concerning the equality of modernization’s subjects, but also mandatory questions confronting socialist countries. “Many bourgeois theorists and politicians claim: ‘Modernization = Westernization,’ ‘There is no choice but capitalism,’” and “In the eyes of Westerners, only by taking the Western path can modernization be realized, and only by relying on the West can one survive in the world system.” [11]11 Francis Fukuyama, American political scientist, argued in his 1989 essay “The End of History?” that the endpoint of humanity’s sociocultural evolution is liberal democracy and capitalist free-market economics. Fukuyama even put forward the “end of history” thesis, erroneously believing that “history has logically reached its ‘completion,’ namely political ‘Western-style democracy’ and economic ‘capitalist free-market economy,’” offering a negative answer to the prospects of socialism and vainly attempting to confine modernization to the single path of capitalism.
纵览现代化世界版图,目前进入现代化的二十多个国家都是资本主义国家,社会主义国家并不在其中。那么,这是不是意味着只有资本主义国家才是现代化的唯一主体?社会主义国家有资格追求现代化吗?社会主义国家能否实现现代化呢?这既是关系现代化主体平等性的基本问题,更是摆在社会主义国家面前的一道必答题。“许多资产阶级理论家、政治家佯言:‘现代化=西方化’,‘除了资本主义,别无选择’”,“在西方人看来,只有走西方的道路才能够实现现代化,只有依附于西方才能在世界体系中生存”。福山甚至抛出了“历史终结论”,他错误地认为,“历史在逻辑上已经达到了‘完成时’,即政治上的‘西式民主’,经济上的‘资本主义自由市场经济’”,对社会主义前途做了否定性回答,妄图把现代化禁锢在资本主义这条唯一的道路上。
The classical Marxist writers believed that “the country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.” [12]12 Karl Marx, from the preface to the first German edition of *Capital*, Volume I (1867). However, they never regarded capitalist modernization as a realistic template for future socialist countries, nor did they ever propose that modernization could only be capitalist modernization. In fact, “Marx and Engels divided modernization into two major stages: the first stage is the stage of capitalist modernization, and the second stage is the stage of communist modernization (including the socialist transitional stage). Marxist modernization theory profoundly reveals the laws and general trends of human social development, and points out the scientific path and realization route for human society to achieve modernization.” This theoretically proves that modernization is not solely capitalist modernization; there is also socialist modernization, and socialist modernization is superior to capitalist modernization. The Communist Party of China, holding high the banner of Marxism, has made the pursuit of modernization an unremitting goal since its founding. “The 100-plus-year history of the CPC uniting and leading the Chinese people in the pursuit of national rejuvenation is also a history of continuously exploring the path to modernization.” The Party has adhered to integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the best of traditional Chinese culture, creating Chinese modernization theory and blazing the path of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics. History and practice have proven that Chinese-path modernization is fundamentally different from Western modernization. Chinese-path modernization is socialist modernization, not any other kind. Socialism is the fundamental direction of China’s modernization construction. From the perspective of the history of socialism and the history of modernization construction, Chinese-path modernization has shattered the myth of “modernization = Westernization,” completely rewriting the situation in the global modernization landscape where capitalist countries dominated alone and unified the world, and demonstrating with indisputable facts that: “There is neither a single model of modernization that is set in stone, nor a universal standard for modernization that applies everywhere.” Modernization is not the patent of capitalist countries; socialist countries can build modernization, and through effort, they can also achieve it. From a deeper dimension, Chinese-path modernization enriches and develops Marxist modernization theory, enhances the global influence of scientific socialism, manifests the theoretical and practical appeal of scientific socialism, fills the blank in the modernization landscape of socialist countries, and will surely greatly encourage and inspire other socialist countries in the world to confidently and calmly pursue and build new paths of socialist national modernization that conform to their own realities and have their own characteristics, while following the general laws of modernization.
马克思主义经典作家认为,“工业较发达的国家向工业较不发达的国家所显示的,只是后者未来的景象”。但是,他们从来没有把资本主义现代化当作未来社会主义国家的现实模板,也从来没有提出现代化只能有资本主义现代化。事实上,“马克思和恩格斯把现代化分为两个大阶段:第一阶段是资本主义现代化阶段,第二阶段是共产主义现代化阶段(含社会主义过渡阶段),马克思主义现代化理论深刻揭示了人类社会发展的规律与总趋势,指明了人类社会实现现代化的科学道路与实现路径”,这就从理论上证明现代化不是只有资本主义现代化,也有社会主义现代化,而且社会主义现代化优于资本主义现代化。中国共产党高举马克思主义旗帜,一经诞生就把实现现代化作为孜孜以求的奋斗目标。“中国共产党100多年来团结带领中国人民追求民族复兴的历史,也是一部不断探索现代化道路的历史。” 党坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合,创造了中国现代化理论,开辟了中国特色现代化道路。历史和实践证明,中国式现代化与西方现代化有着本质区别。中国式现代化是社会主义现代化,而不是别的什么现代化。社会主义是中国式现代化建设的根本方向。从社会主义发展史和现代化建设史维度看,中国式现代化打破了“现代化=西方化”迷思,彻底改写现代化版图中资本主义国家一家独大、一统天下的局面,并以无可争辩的事实表明:“世界上既不存在定于一尊的现代化模式,也不存在放之四海而皆准的现代化标准。” 现代化不是资本主义国家的专利,社会主义国家可以建设现代化,而且经过努力也可以建成现代化。从更深层次维度看,中国式现代化丰富和发展了马克思主义现代化理论,提高了科学社会主义全球影响力,彰显了科学社会主义的理论与实践魅力,填补了社会主义国家现代化版图空白,必将极大地鼓舞和激励世界其他社会主义国家在遵循现代化一般规律基础上自信、从容地追求和建设符合本国实际、具有本国特色的社会主义国家现代化新路。
II. Chinese-Path Modernization Contributes Chinese Wisdom to Building a Better World
二、中国式现代化为建设更加美好的世界贡献中国智慧
The world today is undergoing changes unseen in a century. The global economic and political landscape is undergoing profound and complex adjustments. “Multiple challenges and crises are intertwined and overlapping, world economic recovery is difficult, the development gap continues to widen, the ecological environment continues to deteriorate, the specter of Cold War thinking lingers, and the modernization process of human society has once again come to a historical crossroads.” How to find solutions to problems amidst the uncertainty of world development has become a common task for all humanity. The vivid exploration, great achievements, and bright prospects of Chinese-path modernization provide answers to solving world problems and also contribute Chinese wisdom to building a better world.
当今世界正经历百年未有之大变局,世界经济、政治格局发生深刻复杂调整,“多重挑战和危机交织叠加,世界经济复苏艰难,发展鸿沟不断拉大,生态环境持续恶化,冷战思维阴魂不散,人类社会现代化进程又一次来到历史的十字路口”。如何在世界发展不确定性中寻找问题解决方案成为全人类共同课题。中国式现代化的生动探索、伟大成就和光明前景为破解世界难题提供了答案,也为建设更加美好的世界贡献了中国智慧。
(I) Chinese-Path Modernization Injects New Momentum into Global Economic Recovery
(一)中国式现代化为世界经济复苏注入新动能
Modernization is not an illusory vision confined to the conceptual level, but a realistic picture built on a solid material foundation. Economic modernization is an important foundation of modernization. Without solid material conditions, modernization cannot be sustained. According to the mid-year update of the “World Economic Situation and Prospects 2024” released by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, persistently high interest rates, debt distress, geopolitical tensions, and the intensifying climate crisis will all pose challenges to global economic growth. In the coming years, the average global economic growth rate will be lower than the average level of 3.2% during 2010–2019. If the economic trend remains persistently sluggish, world development is highly likely to enter a stagnant phase, which will inevitably exacerbate the uncertainty of global development.
现代化不是停留在观念层面的虚幻愿景,而是建立在坚实物质基础上的现实图景。经济现代化是现代化的重要基础。没有坚实的物质条件,现代化不可能持久。根据联合国经济和社会事务部发布的《2024年世界经济形势与展望》年中更新报告显示,利率长期居高不下、债务困境、地缘政治紧张以及气候危机加剧,都将对世界经济增长构成挑战。未来几年,世界经济平均增速将低于2010—2019年3.2%的平均水平。如果经济走势持续低迷,世界发展极有可能进入停滞阶段,势必会加剧全球发展的不确定性。
Economic construction is the central task of the Party. As the world’s second-largest economy, China has an extremely important impact on the global economic situation. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, [13]13 The 18th National Congress of the CPC was held in 2012, marking the beginning of the New Era under Xi Jinping’s leadership. facing a highly complex international environment and arduous tasks of reform, development, and maintaining stability, China has accelerated the construction of a modernized economic system and developed new quality productive forces according to local conditions. From 2013 to 2022, China’s GDP grew from 59.3 trillion yuan to 121 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of over 6%. In 2023, GDP exceeded 126 trillion yuan, growing by 5.2%, ranking among the fastest-growing major economies in the world. China’s share of the global economy rose from 12.3% in 2013 to about 18% in 2023, contributing an average annual rate of over 30% to global economic growth, becoming the veritable largest engine driving world economic growth, making significant contributions to global economic recovery, and bringing hope to world economic development. At the same time, China adheres to the unity of “going global” and “bringing in,” supports genuine multilateralism and free trade, unequivocally opposes unilateralism and trade protectionism, continues to expand the breadth and depth of opening up, vigorously promotes trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, continuously strengthens economic cooperation with other countries, and provides new opportunities and vast development space for global enterprises with its huge market size and growing consumer demand, making positive contributions to maintaining the stability of global industrial chains and boosting confidence in the international market. China’s stable economic development and huge potential are a powerful rebuttal to erroneous arguments that advocate “decoupling and severing supply chains,” hype up the “China peak theory,” or claim that “Chinese investment harms other countries’ markets.” The “Decision” [14]14 The “Decision” refers to the resolution on further deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in July 2024. reviewed and approved at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC emphasizes “focusing on building a high-level socialist market economy system” and makes strategic deployments such as promoting high-standard opening up. This will surely inject new momentum into global economic recovery with more pragmatic measures and further enhance confidence in world economic development.
经济建设是党的中心工作。中国作为世界第二大经济体,对世界经济形势产生着极其重要的影响。党的十八大以来,面对十分复杂的国际环境和艰巨繁重的改革发展稳定任务,我国加快建设现代化经济体系,因地制宜发展新质生产力。2013—2022年,我国国内生产总值从59.3万亿元增长到121万亿元,年均增长6%以上。2023年,国内生产总值超过126万亿元,增长5.2%,增速居世界主要经济体前列。中国经济总量占世界经济的比重从2013年的12.3%上升到2023年的18%左右,对世界经济增长的年平均贡献率超过30%,成为名副其实推动世界经济增长的最大引擎,为全球经济复苏作出了重要贡献,更为世界经济发展带来了希望。与此同时,中国坚持“走出去”与“引进来”相统一,支持真正的多边主义和自由贸易,旗帜鲜明反对单边主义、贸易保护主义,继续扩大对外开放的广度和深度,大力推进贸易投资自由化便利化,持续加强与各国经济合作,以巨大的市场体量和不断增长的消费需求为全球企业提供了新的机遇和广阔发展空间,为维护全球产业链稳定和提振国际市场信心做出了积极贡献。中国经济稳健发展和巨大潜力是对鼓吹“脱钩断链”、炒作“中国经济见顶论”“中国投资伤害别国市场”等错误论调的有力回应。党的二十届三中全会审议通过的《决定》强调“聚焦构建高水平社会主义市场经济体制”,作出推进高水平对外开放等战略部署,必将以更加务实举措为世界经济复苏注入新动能,进一步增强世界经济发展的信心。
(II) Chinese-Path Modernization Provides Effective Solutions to the Questions of the Times
(二)中国式现代化为解决时代之问提供有效方案
Building a better world is the common aspiration of people of all countries and an inherent requirement of their modernization efforts. Examining the current state of global development, world modernization is facing unprecedented and severe challenges. From the perspective of the international situation, global populism and anti-globalization sentiments are spreading; arguments such as the “clash of civilizations,” “threat of civilizations,” and “superiority of civilizations” are resurging, exacerbating global estrangement. The Cold War mentality of the United States and Western countries lingers on; they flagrantly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and instigate “color revolutions,” causing turmoil and instability in those nations. Certain countries brazenly undermine international law, placing their own national interests above global interests and damaging global fairness and justice. Some countries, for their own selfish gain, do not hesitate to create regional conflicts and are keen on fanning the flames, with local wars and conflicts intensifying regional tensions and endangering lasting human peace. Frequent extreme weather and other natural disasters seriously endanger human survival… Faced with global chaos and development difficulties, people have raised the question of the times: “What is wrong with the world, and what should be done?” They feel pessimistic and disappointed about the prospects of world modernization, shaking their faith, confidence, and conviction in achieving modernization.
构建更加美好的世界是各国人民的共同期望,是各国现代化建设的应有之义。审视当前全球发展现状,世界现代化正面临着前所未有的严峻挑战。从国际形势看,全球民粹主义、逆全球化思潮蔓延,“文明冲突论”“文明威胁论”“文明优越论”等论调沉渣泛起,加剧世界隔阂;美西方国家冷战思维阴魂不散,肆意干涉别国内政,策动“颜色革命”,导致他国动荡不安;个别国家大肆破坏国际法,把本国利益凌驾于全球利益之上,破坏全球公平正义;个别国家为一己私利不惜制造区域冲突、热衷于拱火浇油,局部战争冲突加剧地区局势紧张,危及人类持久和平;频发的极端气候等自然灾害严重危及人类生存……面对世界乱局和全球发展困境,人们发出了“世界怎么了,应该怎么办”的时代之问,对世界现代化前景感到悲观失望,动摇了实现现代化的信仰、信心和信念。
Chinese-path modernization is a modernization that seeks common good for the world and progress for humanity. Chinese-path modernization consistently regards safeguarding and developing the common interests of all humanity as an important mission of modernization. As a responsible major country, China adheres to a problem-oriented approach, providing solutions to global development challenges with Chinese solutions, Chinese wisdom, and Chinese experience, and making active efforts to jointly build a better world. For example, Chinese-path modernization creatively proposes promoting the common values of all humanity of “peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom”; creatively proposes the Global Development Initiative, whose main content includes adhering to development as a priority, adhering to a people-centered approach, adhering to inclusive benefits for all, adhering to innovation-driven development, adhering to harmony between humanity and nature, and adhering to an action-oriented approach; creatively proposes the Global Security Initiative, whose main content includes the “six commitments” such as adhering to a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security; and creatively proposes the Global Civilization Initiative, whose main content includes jointly advocating respect for the diversity of world civilizations, jointly advocating the promotion of the common values of all humanity, jointly advocating the importance of civilizational inheritance and innovation, and jointly advocating the strengthening of international people-to-people and cultural exchanges and cooperation. At the same time, China has consistently advocated for and promoted through concrete actions the building of a new, more fair, just, and reasonable international political and economic order. It promotes global dialogue by hosting forums such as the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, and the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. It facilitated the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, setting a new model for the political resolution of hotspot issues… Chinese-path modernization, in its unique way, injects more certainty and stability into a continuously turbulent world and provides effective solutions to the questions of the times.
中国式现代化是为世界谋大同、为人类谋进步的现代化。中国式现代化始终把维护和发展好全人类共同利益作为现代化建设的重要使命。作为负责任大国,中国坚持问题导向,以中国方案、中国智慧、中国经验为解决全球发展难题提供方案,为携手共建美好世界做出积极努力。例如,中国式现代化创造性地提出了弘扬“和平、发展、公平、正义、民主、自由”的全人类共同价值,创造性提出了坚持发展优先、坚持以人民为中心、坚持普惠包容、坚持创新驱动、坚持人与自然和谐共生、坚持行动导向等为主要内容的全球发展倡议,创造性地提出了以坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观等“六个坚持”为主要内容的全球安全倡议,创造性地提出了以共同倡导尊重世界文明多样性、共同倡导弘扬全人类共同价值、共同倡导重视文明传承和创新、共同倡导加强国际人文交流合作等为主要内容的全球文明倡议。与此同时,中国一贯倡导并以实际行动推动构建更加公平、公正、合理的国际政治经济新秩序,通过举办中非合作论坛、中阿合作论坛、“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛等促进全球对话,促成沙伊和解,树立了政治解决热点问题新典范……中国式现代化以其独特方式为持续动荡的世界注入更多的确定性和稳定性,为解决时代之问提供了有效方案。
(III) Chinese-Path Modernization Provides New Opportunities for the Development of All Countries in the World
(三)中国式现代化为世界各国发展提供新机遇
Humanity lives in the same global village, and countries achieve mutual learning and common development through integration and exchange. “China does not seek modernization that only benefits itself; it is willing to work with all countries to achieve a world modernization characterized by peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity.” [15]15 Xi Jinping, “Hold High the Great Banner of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Strive in Unity to Build a Modern Socialist Country in All Respects – Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China” (October 16, 2022). It continuously provides new opportunities for the development of all countries through China’s new development.
人类生活在同一个地球村,世界各国在相互交融、相互交流中实现文明互鉴、共同发展。“中国追求的不是独善其身的现代化,愿同各国一道,实现和平发展、互利合作、共同繁荣的世界现代化。” 不断以中国新发展为世界各国发展提供新机遇。
Chinese-path modernization enables all countries to share the opportunities of China’s vast market, the opportunities of institutional opening-up, and the opportunities of deepening international cooperation. Chinese-path modernization is an open and inclusive modernization. The “Decision” [16]16 The “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform and Advancing Chinese-Path Modernization,” adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC in July 2024. reviewed and approved by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasizes that “opening up is a distinct hallmark of Chinese-path modernization.” For investors from all over the world, the huge market of over 1.4 billion people contains significant business opportunities. Chinese-path modernization focuses on building a higher-standard open economic system, adheres to the basic state policy of opening up, welcomes and encourages investment from all countries with an open and inclusive attitude, will continue to provide more reliable market guarantees for investors from all countries, promote the integration of all countries into China’s vast development market, and enable the world to share the dividends of the Chinese market. Chinese-path modernization is a mutually beneficial and win-win modernization. Modernization is essentially about mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, not a zero-sum game. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, especially since the New Era, China’s comprehensive national strength has significantly increased, its development achievements have attracted worldwide attention, and it has achieved a historic leap from following and running alongside to leading in some key core areas. For example, China’s advanced high-speed rail technology has been applied in African and Southeast Asian countries; the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Rail project is the “first order” for China’s high-speed rail to go global with its complete system, all elements, and entire production chain. China conducts in-depth aerospace exchanges and cooperation with countries around the world, promoting the aerospace industry to better benefit people of all countries. As of 2020, the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System had provided services to over one billion users in countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, and BeiDou products had been exported to over 120 countries and regions, playing an active role in numerous fields such as construction, land surveying, disaster prevention and mitigation, and emergency rescue… These facts reflect, from different dimensions, the new achievements of Chinese-path modernization, helping all countries board the express train of Chinese-path modernization and continuously share new opportunities from China’s development.
中国式现代化推动各国共享中国大市场机遇、共享制度型开放机遇、共享深化国际合作机遇。中国式现代化是开放包容的现代化。党的二十届三中全会审议通过的《决定》强调“开放是中国式现代化的鲜明标识”。对世界各国投资者来说,14亿多人口的巨大市场包含着重要的商业契机。中国式现代化聚焦建设更高水平的开放型经济新体制,坚持对外开放基本国策,以开放包容姿态欢迎和鼓励各国来华投资,将继续为各国投资者提供更加可靠的市场保障,促进各国融入中国广阔的发展市场,推动世界共享中国市场红利。中国式现代化是互利共赢的现代化。现代化实质是互利共赢,而不是零和博弈。新中国成立以来特别是新时代以来,中国综合国力显著增强,发展成就举世瞩目,在一些关键核心领域实现了由跟跑、并跑到领跑的历史性跨越。例如,中国先进的高铁技术已经应用到非洲、东南亚国家,雅万高铁工程项目是中国高铁全系统、全要素、全生产链走出国门的“第一单”;中国同世界各国深入开展航天交流合作,推动航天事业更好造福各国人民。截至2020年,北斗系统已为“一带一路”共建国家和地区亿级以上用户提供服务,北斗产品也出口超120个国家和地区,在建筑施工、国土测绘、防灾减灾、应急救援等众多领域发挥积极作用……这些事实从不同维度折射出中国式现代化发展新成就,助力各国搭上中国式现代化发展快车,持续共享中国发展新机遇。
III. Chinese-Path Modernization Provides Modernization Experience for Developing Countries
三、中国式现代化为广大发展中国家提供现代化建设经验
Although all countries enjoy the equal right to pursue modernization, and the vast majority of developing countries aspire to achieve modernization as soon as possible, some developing countries have not yet found a suitable path for modernization because they have not fully understood the laws governing modernization. For the vast majority of developing countries that have not yet achieved modernization, the question is: Should they blindly copy the experience of other countries and follow in their footsteps? Or should they stick to old ways and work behind closed doors? Or should they learn from and absorb others’ experiences, innovate courageously, and blaze a new path of modernization suited to their own national conditions? This is a question that must be answered by the vast majority of developing countries. “We have no intention of exporting Chinese-path modernization or the ‘Chinese model,’ but Chinese-path modernization has set an example for developing countries to independently move towards modernization and provides them with some entirely new choices.” [17]17 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting” (March 15, 2023). As the world’s largest developing country, the vivid exploration, great achievements, and bright prospects of Chinese-path modernization provide valuable experience worthy of reference for the modernization of developing countries.
虽然各国都享有追求现代化的平等权利,广大发展中国家也期盼早日实现现代化,但由于对现代化建设规律并没有完全弄清楚,一些发展中国家还没有找到合适的现代化建设路径。对没有实现现代化的广大发展中国家而言,究竟是照搬照抄他国经验、亦步亦趋?抑或因循守旧、闭门造车?还是借鉴吸收、勇毅创新,走出符合本国国情的现代化建设新路?这是摆在广大发展中国家面前的一道必答题。“我们无意也没有输出中国式现代化、‘中国模式’,但中国式现代化为广大发展中国家独立自主迈向现代化树立了典范,为其提供了一些全新选择。”作为世界上最大的发展中国家,中国式现代化的生动探索、伟大成就和光明前景为广大发展中国家现代化建设提供了值得借鉴的宝贵经验。
(I) Forging a Strong Leadership Core is the Fundamental Guarantee for Advancing Modernization
(一)锻造坚强领导核心是推进现代化的根本保证
Advancing modernization is an extremely arduous and heavy historical task. Achieving modernization will not happen easily, with just beating gongs and drums, nor will it be a smooth and effortless journey. The Communist Party of China is the leading core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. Upholding the leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for advancing Chinese-path modernization, a distinctive feature and the greatest strength of Chinese-path modernization, and directly concerns the fundamental direction, future, destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese-path modernization. “It can be said that only by unwaveringly upholding the leadership of the Party can Chinese-path modernization have a bright future and flourish; otherwise, Chinese-path modernization will deviate from its course, lose its soul, and even commit subversive errors.” [18]18 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Seminar on Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China” (February 7, 2023). The Communist Party of China adheres to comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, has the courage to advance self-revolution, has the courage to uphold truth and correct errors, has the courage to turn the blade inward and scrape the poison off the bone, forever maintains the Party’s advanced nature and purity, strives to forge the Party into a more powerful Marxist ruling party in the process of advancing modernization, and comprehensively enhances the Party’s leadership ability and level over the cause of modernization.
推进现代化是一项十分繁重艰巨的历史重任。实现现代化并不是轻轻松松、敲锣打鼓就能实现,也不会是一马平川、唾手可得。中国共产党是中国特色社会主义事业的领导核心,是中国人民和中华民族的主心骨。坚持党的领导是推进中国式现代化的根本保证,是中国式现代化的显著特征和最大优势,直接关系中国式现代化的根本方向、前途命运、最终成败。“可以说,只有毫不动摇坚持党的领导,中国式现代化才能前景光明、繁荣兴盛;否则,中国式现代化就会偏离航向、丧失灵魂,甚至犯颠覆性错误。”中国共产党坚持全面从严治党,勇于推进自我革命,勇于坚持真理、修正错误,勇于刀刃向内、刮骨疗毒,永葆党的先进性和纯洁性,着力在推进现代化进程中把党锻造成为更加强大的马克思主义执政党,全面提升党对现代化事业的领导能力和水平。
The valuable experience of upholding the Party’s comprehensive leadership over the cause of Chinese-path modernization inspires the vast number of developing countries: a great cause urgently needs and continuously forges a strong leading core. On the one hand, achieving modernization is by no means a spontaneous or natural process; it must be an organized, step-by-step strategic action carried out under centralized and unified leadership. If this centralized and unified leading force is lacking, the modernization effort loses its backbone, the cause of modernization stagnates, and even existing achievements will be completely lost. To realize the grand goal of modernization, a strong leading core is essential. On the other hand, a strong leading core does not fall from the sky, nor is it obtained by a few people sitting in their studies and pondering in isolation; rather, it is forged in the great practice of leading the country’s own modernization. In practical terms, developing countries should give greater prominence to forging a ruling party that conforms to the trends of the times and possesses strong leadership capabilities, continuously strengthen the ruling party’s own Party building, enhance its capacity for self-purification, self-improvement, self-renovation, and self-enhancement, make the ruling party’s values, governance capabilities, spiritual outlook, will and character more aligned with the requirements of the modernization cause, comprehensively raise the level of leadership over the modernization cause, and strive to forge the ruling party into a strong leading core for the country’s own modernization cause.
坚持党对中国式现代化事业全面领导的宝贵经验启发着广大发展中国家:伟大事业迫切需要和持续锻造坚强领导核心。一方面,实现现代化绝不是一个自发自然的过程,必然是在集中统一领导力量下进行的有组织、有步骤的战略行动。如果缺失这种集中统一的领导力量,现代化建设就失去了主心骨,现代化事业就会停滞,既有成果也会消失殆尽。要实现现代化宏伟目标,必须有坚强的领导核心。另一方面,坚强的领导核心并不是从天上掉下来的,也不是少数人坐在书斋中苦思冥想得来的,而是在领导本国现代化建设的伟大实践中锻造出来的。就现实而言,广大发展中国家要把锻造符合时代发展潮流、具备强大领导力的执政党摆在更加突出的位置,不断加强执政党自身建设,提高自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高能力,让执政党的价值理念、治理能力、精神风貌、意志品质等更加符合现代化事业发展要求,全面提高领导现代化事业的水平,努力把执政党锻造成为本国现代化事业的坚强领导核心。
(2) Promoting comprehensive development is the inherent requirement of modernization
(二)推动全面发展是现代化的内在要求
Achieving modernization is a strategic goal that Chinese Communists have persistently pursued. In the great journey of advancing Chinese-path modernization, Chinese Communists plan and promote the modernization cause with a holistic perspective and systematic thinking, closely adhering to the fundamental requirement that “people are the core of modernization.” They uphold the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, promoting high-quality economic development and accelerating the building of a modernized economic system, while also strengthening democratic political construction, developing whole-process people’s democracy, and ensuring the people are the masters of the country. They develop advanced socialist culture, strive to build a cultural powerhouse, and work to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, while always placing the people highest in their hearts, continuously improving and enhancing the people’s well-being, and increasing the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security. They also adhere to the principle that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” and build a beautiful China. In short, Chinese-path modernization is a parallel modernization rather than a sequential one; it is comprehensive modernization rather than one-sided modernization, continuously manifesting the multi-dimensional characteristics that modernization should possess.
实现现代化是中国共产党人孜孜以求的战略目标。中国共产党人在推进中国式现代化伟大征程中,以全局观念和系统思维谋划推进现代化事业,紧扣“人是现代化的核心”这一根本要求,坚持“五位一体”总体布局和“四个全面”战略布局,既推动经济高质量发展,加快建设现代化经济体系,又加强民主政治建设,发展全过程人民民主,保障人民当家作主;既发展社会主义先进文化,着力建设文化强国,努力建设中华民族现代文明,又始终把人民放在心中最高位置,不断改善和增进民生福祉,增强人民群众获得感、幸福感、安全感,还坚持“绿水青山就是金山银山”,建设美丽中国。总之,中国式现代化是并联式的现代化而不是串联式的现代化,是全面现代化而不是片面现代化,持续彰显现代化应有的多维特质。
The valuable experience of adhering to systematic thinking to comprehensively advance Chinese-path modernization inspires the vast number of developing countries: comprehensiveness is the basic characteristic and inherent requirement of modernization. It is necessary to firmly establish systematic thinking, comprehensively promote the country’s own modernization, and promote the comprehensive development of the modernization cause. From an economic perspective, it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between the speed of economic growth and the quality of economic development, promoting quality and efficiency improvements in economic construction. From a political perspective, it is necessary to guarantee the people’s democratic rights, accelerate the reform of state institutions, and build a leadership system and mechanism that meets the requirements of modernization. From a cultural perspective, it is necessary to deeply tap the country’s own cultural resources, strengthen confidence in the culture, and thicken the cultural foundation for modernization construction. From a social perspective, it is necessary to place the people highest in the heart, continuously improve the people’s lives, and constantly enhance the people’s well-being. From an ecological civilization perspective, it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection, take a new path of green development, and make green a distinctive feature of modernization… truly turning the beautiful vision of material prosperity, political clarity, spiritual abundance, social stability, and ecological livability into practical results, continuously manifesting the comprehensiveness, balance, and coordination of the country’s own modernization cause, and better serving the ultimate goal of “realizing the free and comprehensive development of the individual.”
坚持以系统思维全面推进中国式现代化的宝贵经验启发着广大发展中国家:全面是现代化的基本特质和内在要求。要树牢系统观念,全面推进本国现代化,促进现代化事业全面发展。从经济领域看,要正确处理经济增长速度与经济发展质量关系,促进经济建设提质增效;从政治领域看,要保障人民民主权利,加快国家机构改革,构建适应现代化要求的领导体制机制;从文化领域看,要深入挖掘本国文化资源,坚定文化自信,厚植现代化建设文化根基;从社会领域看,要把人民放在心中最高位置,持续改善人民生活,不断增进民生福祉;从生态文明领域看,要正确处理好经济发展与环境保护关系,走绿色发展新路,让绿色成为现代化的鲜明底色……真正把物质富裕、政治清明、精神富足、社会安定、生态宜人的美好愿景变为现实成果,持续彰显本国现代化事业的全面性、均衡性和协调性,更好地服务“实现人自由而全面的发展”这一最终目标。
(3) Adhering to independence and self-reliance is the strategic foundation of modernization
(三)坚持独立自主、自力更生是现代化的战略基点
Chinese-path modernization did not fall from the sky, nor was it obtained by waiting or asking, still less was it a gift from another country. If a country pins its hopes of achieving modernization on other countries, it will inevitably lose the dominant power and initiative in modernization construction, and in the end, it will harm the country’s own national sovereignty, security, and development interests. Chinese-path modernization both fully absorbs and draws on the beneficial nourishment of human modernization and always firmly grasps the strategic foundation of independence and self-reliance. Under the leadership of the Party, relying closely on the continuous struggle of hundreds of millions of people, it has blazed a new path of modernization suited to China’s national conditions.
中国式现代化不是从天上掉下来的,也不是等来的、要来的,更不是别国施舍的。如果一个国家把实现现代化的希望寄托在他国身上,必然会丧失现代化建设的主导权、主动权,到头来也会损害本国国家主权、安全和发展利益。中国式现代化既充分吸收和借鉴人类现代化建设有益营养,又始终把牢独立自主、自力更生这个战略基点。在党的领导下,紧紧依靠亿万人民群众接续奋斗,走出了一条适合中国国情的现代化新道路。
The valuable experience of adhering to independence and self-reliance in advancing Chinese-path modernization inspires the vast number of developing countries: on the one hand, unswervingly base the construction of modernization on one’s own strength. Compared with developed countries in the world, the vast number of developing countries still have a large gap in the level of development of productive forces and comprehensive national strength, and they inevitably face many predictable and unpredictable risks and challenges. If one relies on other countries to help build one’s own modernization, or even hands over the dominant power and initiative in modernization construction to others, rather than relying on one’s own strength to advance modernization, then such modernization cannot be built, or only a dependent form of modernization can be built. Developing countries should base the strategic foundation of modernization construction on themselves, firmly grasp the strategic autonomy of modernization construction, truly hold the destiny of the country’s development and progress firmly in their own hands, enhance strategic confidence and strategic patience, rely on their own strength to steadily solve major theoretical and practical problems in the process of modernization construction, and enhance the autonomy and security of their own modernization. On the other hand, on the basis of sublation, draw on the rich resources of world modernization construction. Adhering to independence and self-reliance does not mean closed-door rigidity, conservatism, or backwardness. “Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.” [19]19 Karl Marx, *The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte* (1852). Viewed from world history, any country that attempts to achieve modernization behind closed doors will ultimately fail. Developing countries should adopt an open mindset, oppose the tendency toward closed-doorism in modernization construction, adhere to the principle of taking oneself as the mainstay and using others for one’s own benefit, be adept at absorbing the beneficial nourishment of world modernization construction, gather the forces of their own modernization construction, and enhance the sustainability of modernization construction.
坚持独立自主、自力更生推进中国式现代化的宝贵经验启发着广大发展中国家:一方面,坚定不移把现代化建设放在自己力量的基点上。与世界发达国家相比,广大发展中国家生产力发展水平、综合国力还有很大差距,必然面临着许多可以预料和难以预料的风险挑战。如果指望他国帮助本国建设现代化,甚至将现代化建设的主导权、主动权拱手让人,而不是依靠自身力量推进现代化,这样是建不成现代化或者只能建成依附式的现代化。广大发展中国家要把现代化建设的战略基点立足于自身,牢牢掌握现代化建设的战略自主权,真正把国家发展进步的命运牢牢掌握在自己手中,增强战略自信和战略耐心,依靠自身力量稳步解决现代化建设进程中的重大理论与实践难题,增强本国现代化的自主性、安全性。另一方面,在扬弃基础上汲取世界现代化建设丰厚资源。坚持独立自主、自力更生并不等于封闭僵化、保守落后。“人们自己创造自己的历史,但是他们并不是随心所欲地创造,并不是在他们自己选定的条件下创造,而是在直接碰到的、既定的、从过去承继下来的条件下创造。” 从世界历史看,任何一个国家企图关起门来搞现代化最终都会落空。广大发展中国家要秉持开放心态,反对现代化建设的关门主义倾向,要坚持以我为主、为我所用原则,善于汲取世界现代化建设有益营养,汇聚本国现代化建设力量,增强现代化建设的可持续性。
