On the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era: Constituent Elements, Generative Logic, and Integrated Pathways

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”), adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, emphasized the importance of “comprehensively improving the modernization capacity of cadres.” At the second plenary meeting of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping further put forward the requirement of “raising the whole Party’s level of Marxism and its capacity for modernization.” These expositions are clear in stance and profound in implication. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental guarantee for Chinese-path modernization, and the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization cannot be separated from the enhancement of the Party’s modernization capacity. From the requirement to comprehensively improve the modernization capacity of leading cadres to the emphasis on raising the modernization capacity of the entire Party, this indicates that the Party Central Committee has always placed Party building at the core in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization, demonstrating systematic thinking and strategic foresight. So, what exactly is the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era? How is it continuously generated in practice? And how can it be comprehensively improved on the new journey? These have become major issues urgently needing resolution. This paper, based on systematic thinking, analyzes the constituent elements and generative mechanisms of the Party’s modernization capacity, and then proposes a pathway for comprehensive improvement, aiming to provide positive reference for continuously enhancing the Party’s leadership level over Chinese-path modernization.

党的二十届三中全会通过的《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》）强调了“全面提高干部现代化建设能力”重要性。在党的二十届三中全会第二次全体会议上，习近平总书记进一步提出了“提高全党马克思主义水平和现代化建设能力”的要求。这些阐释立场鲜明、意蕴深远。党的领导是中国式现代化的根本保证，中国式现代化的深化发展离不开党的现代化建设能力的提升。从要求全面提升领导干部的现代化建设能力，到强调提高全党的现代化建设能力，表明党中央在领导和推进中国式现代化的进程中，始终将党的建设摆在了核心位置，彰显了系统思维与战略远见。那么，新时代党的现代化建设能力究竟是一种什么样的能力，如何在实践中不断生成，新征程又该如何实现全面提升？就成为当前亟待破解的重大问题。本文基于系统思维对党的现代化建设能力之构成要素、生成机理等展开了分析，进而提出了一条全面提升路径，以期为不断提升党对中国式现代化的领导水平提供积极借鉴。

I. The Connotation and Function of the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

一、新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的内涵功能

(I) The Basic Connotation of the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

（一）新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的基本内涵

To scientifically grasp the logical mechanism of the Party’s modernization capacity, its connotation must first be defined. Modernization, in short, is the process of transformation and ascent from a traditional society to a modern society. The modernization led by the Communist Party of China is the modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It possesses both the general attributes of modernization and distinctly manifests “Chinese-style” characteristics. As General Secretary Xi Jinping stated, “Chinese-path modernization is a modernization that continues an ancient civilization” and “is a modernization that has grown out of the land of China.” Capacity refers to the comprehensive qualities and abilities that an individual or organization possesses to manage a certain activity or achieve a certain goal, encompassing knowledge, skills, values, and other content. It is the prerequisite foundation for an individual or organization to effectively solve problems and create value. Thus, the modernization capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era is the Party’s practical ability, through scientific theoretical guidance, strategic planning, and policy implementation, to promote the stable, long-term, and deepening development of Chinese-path modernization, so as to continuously enhance the effectiveness of national governance and improve the well-being of the people. Its aim is to ensure that China’s modernization construction always advances along the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, providing a solid guarantee and support for comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation.

科学把握党的现代化建设能力的逻辑机理，首先要对其内涵作出界定。现代化，简言之即由传统社会向现代社会转变和上升的过程。中国共产党领导的现代化，是中国特色社会主义的现代化，其既具有现代化的一般属性，也彰显出了鲜明的“中国式”特征。正如习近平总书记所言：“中国式现代化是赓续古老文明的现代化”“是从中华大地长出来的现代化”。能力，则是指个体或组织为驾驭某种活动或达成某一目标所具备的综合素质和本领，涵盖了知识、技能和价值观等多个内容，是个体或组织有效破解问题并创造价值的前提根基。由此，新时代中国共产党的现代化建设能力，即新时代党通过科学的理论指导、战略规划和政策实施，推动中国式现代化行稳致远和深化发展，以不断提升国家治理效能和增进人民福祉的现实能力，其旨在确保我国现代化建设始终沿着中国特色社会主义道路不断前进，为全面推进强国建设和实现民族复兴提供坚实保障支撑。

(II) The Value and Function of Comprehensively Improving the Party’s Modernization Capacity in the New Era

（二）新时代全面提升党的现代化建设能力的价值功能

First, upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, providing scientific guidance for the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization. Realizing modernization is a common aspiration of human society and a consistent goal pursued by the Communist Party of China. “The exploration of Chinese-path modernization is a historical process of developing through inheritance and innovating while upholding fundamental principles.” Clearly, achieving this goal must take the continuous improvement of the Communist Party of China’s own modernization capacity as a fundamental prerequisite. A strong modernization capacity means that in the process of leading and advancing modernization, the Party has achieved the continuous strengthening of its political leadership. Deeply understanding the decisive significance of the Two Establishments and earnestly achieving the Two Upholds helps purify the intra-Party political ecosystem and ensures the implementation and enforcement of the Party’s modernization guidelines and policies. A strong modernization capacity also means that in the process of leading and advancing modernization, the Party has consistently advanced along the socialist path. Upholding fundamental principles is the prerequisite for breaking new ground, while breaking new ground constitutes the purpose of upholding fundamental principles. The Party leads and advances modernization by following the scientific truth of Marxism and practicing the path of development of socialism with Chinese characteristics; this is its fundamental essence. It can be said that only when the Party forms a strong modernization capacity can it provide a solid political guarantee for the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization.

其一，守正创新，为中国式现代化深化发展提供科学指引。实现现代化是人类社会的共有期盼，也是中国共产党一贯追求的目标。“中国式现代化的探索就是一个在继承中发展、在守正中创新的历史过程。”显然，实现这一目标，必须以中国共产党自身现代化建设能力的不断提升为根本前提。强大的现代化建设能力，意味着党在领导和推进现代化的进程中，实现了政治领导力的不断强化。深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义并切实做到“两个维护”，有助于净化党内政治生态，确保党的现代化方针和政策的贯彻与落实。强大的现代化建设能力，也意味着党在领导和推进现代化的进程中，始终沿着社会主义道路实现了不断前进。守正是创新的前提，创新则构成守正之目的。党领导和推进现代化所遵循的是马克思主义科学真理，所践行的是中国特色社会主义发展之道，这是其根本底色。可以说，党唯有形成强大的现代化建设能力，才能为中国式现代化深化发展提供坚实的政治保障。

Second, building consensus, forging immense strength for the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization. “Chinese-path modernization is the cause of hundreds of millions of people themselves” and must “pool the wisdom and strength of all the people.” This process is inseparable from the drive and support of the Party’s strong modernization capacity. On the one hand, a strong modernization capacity can maximize the cohesion and creativity of the people in participating in modernization construction. Through ideological cultivation and organizational mobilization, the Party can not only strengthen the people’s understanding of Chinese-path modernization but also stimulate their initiative and innovation, prompting them to exert their intelligence and creative spirit to advance Chinese-path modernization. On the other hand, a strong modernization capacity also provides a fundamental guarantee for effectively resolving the difficulties of coordinating interests in reform and development. The Party’s modernization capacity is reflected not only in conceptual construction and policy implementation but also in its comprehensive leadership and overall coordination of Chinese-path modernization. By promptly understanding the people’s interest demands and development requirements, the Party can not only find common points and intersections of interest but also, by leveraging the institutional advantage of concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks, promote the optimal allocation of social resources. Thus, in the process of seeking value consensus and balancing the interests of all parties, it enables the whole society to form concentric circles for high-quality development, working together with one heart and one mind to advance Chinese-path modernization.

其二，凝聚共识，为中国式现代化深化发展构筑磅礴伟力。“中国式现代化是亿万人民自己的事业”，必须“汇集全体人民的智慧和力量”。这一过程离不开党强大的现代化建设能力的驱动与依托。一方面，强大的现代化建设能力，能够最大程度地提升人民参与现代化建设的凝聚力和创造力。通过思想熏陶和组织动员，党不仅可以强化人民群众对中国式现代化的认识，亦能够激发群众的主动性和创新性，促其发挥聪明才智和创造精神，推动中国式现代化不断前进。另一方面，强大的现代化建设能力，也为有效破解改革与发展中的利益协调难题提供了根本保障。党的现代化建设能力不仅体现在理念建构和政策实施上，也体现在对中国式现代化的全面领导与统筹协调上。通过及时了解群众利益诉求和发展要求，党不仅可以找到利益共同点和交汇点，而且通过发挥集中力量办大事的体制优势，亦可推动社会资源进行优化配置。由此，在寻求价值共识与平衡各方利益的过程中，使全社会形成高质量发展的同心圆，齐心协力为推进中国式现代化而共同奋斗。

Third, risk avoidance, injecting security guarantees for the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization. As “an entirely new undertaking,” Chinese-path modernization “will inevitably encounter various contradictions, risks, and challenges along the way.” The Party’s strong modernization capacity also provides a fundamental guarantee for effectively preventing and avoiding risks. This is mainly achieved through three pathways: First, strategic resolve. A strong modernization capacity indicates that the Party, when facing complex and changing subjective and objective situations, has always maintained strong strategic confidence and foundation, capable of creating a safe and stable socio-political environment for Chinese-path modernization. Second, scientific decision-making. A strong modernization capacity also indicates that the Party has formed a scientific and efficient decision-making mechanism in the process of leading Chinese-path modernization. Through investigation, research, and democratic consultation, the Party can more accurately judge the situation and form more forward-looking decision-making plans, so as to take precautions against risks. Third, a global vision. A strong modernization capacity further indicates that the Party has formed a mutually beneficial and win-win pattern of international cooperation in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization. By building a community with a shared future for mankind, it can win more external support for Chinese-path modernization. It can be said that a strong modernization capacity means the Party has achieved effective prevention and scientific response to major risks, thus constituting the fundamental guarantee for the stable and long-term progress of Chinese-path modernization.

其三，风险规避，为中国式现代化深化发展注入安全保障。中国式现代化作为“一项全新的事业，前进道路上必然会遇到各种矛盾和风险挑战”。党强大的现代化建设能力，也为有效防范和规避风险提供了根本保障。其主要通过三重途径实现：一是战略定力。强大的现代化建设能力，表明党在面对复杂多变的主客观形势时，始终保持了强大的战略自信和底气，能为中国式现代化创造出安全稳定的社会政治环境。二是科学决策。强大的现代化建设能力，也表明党在领导中国式现代化的进程中形成了科学高效的决策机制。通过调查研究和民主协商，党可以更加准确地判断形势，形成更加前瞻的决策方案，以在风险防范中做到未雨绸缪。三是全球视野。强大的现代化建设能力，更表明党在领导和推进中国式现代化进程中形成了互利共赢的国际合作格局。通过构建人类命运共同体，可为中国式现代化赢得更多的外部支持。可以说，强大的现代化建设能力，意味着党实现了对重大风险的有效防范和科学应对，因而构成了中国式现代化行稳致远的根本保证。

II. The Constituent Elements of the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

二、新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的构成要素

Chinese-path modernization involves all aspects of the economy, politics, culture, society, and ecological civilization, which requires the Party to also form a more comprehensive and integrated modernization capacity. In other words, the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era is an organic whole composed of multiple elements. From the perspective of basic meaning and value function, for the Communist Party of China to lead and advance the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization, its modernization capacity not only requires a solid foundation of theoretical and historical elements but also calls for the escort of executive and participatory elements, and is even more inseparable from the guarantee and support of related organizational, institutional, and talent elements. It is under the influence and effect of these elements that a solid guarantee and support are provided for the Party to lead and promote the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization.

中国式现代化涉及经济、政治、文化、社会和生态文明各方面，这要求党也必须形成更加全面和综合的现代化建设能力。换言之，新时代党的现代化建设能力是由多重要素构成的有机整体。从基本意涵和价值功能视角看，中国共产党要领导和推进中国式现代化实现深化发展，则其现代化能力就不仅需要理论和历史性要素的扎实奠基，也呼唤执行和参与性要素的保驾护航，更离不开相关组织、制度和人才性等要素的保障依托。正是在这些要素的影响和作用下，为党领导和推动中国式现代化的深化发展提供了坚实的保障和支撑。

(I) The Foundational Constituent Elements of the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

（一）新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的奠基性构成要素

Foundational constituent elements are those relevant elements that, in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization, provide the Party with the foundational values for enhancing and strengthening its modernization capacity. From the perspective of the particularity of Chinese-path modernization, the most important among such elements are unique theoretical and historical elements. Theoretical elements are the fundamental core of the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era and also the fundamental hallmark distinguishing it from other political parties. On the one hand, Marxist modernization theory constitutes the fundamental guiding ideology for the Party to lead and advance Chinese-path modernization. The classical Marxist writers’ thought on the laws of development of human society, their exposition of the diversity of modernization paths, and their scientific conception of communist society, etc., provide a solid theoretical foundation for the enhancement of the Party’s modernization capacity. On the other hand, since the New Era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has blazed new trails and initially constructed the theoretical system of Chinese-path modernization, providing scientific answers to propositions concerning the nature, essence, and strategy of China’s modernization, thereby providing ideological support for the enhancement of the Party’s modernization capacity. The innovative achievements of Marxist theory constitute the conceptual foundation of the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era.

奠基性构成要素，即党在领导和推进中国式现代化的进程中，能为其现代化建设能力的提升和壮大提供立基价值的相关要素。从中国式现代化的特殊性视角看，这类要素中尤为重要的就是独特的理论性及历史性要素。理论性要素是新时代党的现代化建设能力的根本内核，也是区别其他政党的根本标志。一方面，马克思主义现代化理论构成党领导和推进中国式现代化的根本指导思想。马克思主义经典作家有关人类社会发展规律的思想，关于现代化道路多样性的阐释，及其对共产主义社会的科学构想等等，为党的现代化建设能力提升提供了坚实的理论根基。另一方面，新时代以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央开拓创新，初步构建起了中国式现代化理论体系，对我国现代化建设的性质、本质、战略等命题作出了科学解答，为党的现代化建设能力提升提供了思想支撑。马克思主义理论的创新成果，构成了新时代党的现代化建设能力的理念根基。

Historical elements are the capacity elements and related resources formed by the Communist Party of China in the process of leading and advancing modernization. As early as the period of the New Democratic Revolution, Mao Zedong put forward the political goal of “building a new society and a new state for the Chinese nation.” After the founding of New China, the exploration of socialist modernization became an important national development strategy, during which the grand goal of achieving the Four Modernizations was explicitly proposed. After reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping, based on the realities of the new period, further put forward the important concept of “Chinese-style Four Modernizations,” thereby launching a systematic construction of the path of Chinese-path modernization. After the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee carried forward the cause and forged ahead into the future, achieving the successful advancement and expansion of Chinese-path modernization. From national humiliation to national independence, from industrialization to modernization, from moderate prosperity in general to moderate prosperity in all respects, and then to the requirement of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects, it can be said that the exploration of Chinese-path modernization has always been the fundamental thread running through the CPC’s century-long struggle. The CPC’s long-term exploration of Chinese-path modernization not only provides legitimacy support for the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization in the New Era but also constitutes the deep foundation and heritage of the Party’s modernization capacity.

历史性要素是中国共产党在领导和推进现代化进程中形成的能力要素和相关资源。早在新民主主义革命时期，毛泽东就提出了“建设一个中华民族的新社会和新国家”的政治目标。新中国成立后，对社会主义现代化的探索成为国家发展的重要战略，期间明确提出了实现四个现代化的宏伟目标。改革开放以后，邓小平基于新时期实际，进一步提出了“中国式的四个现代化”的重要理念，由此展开了对中国式现代化道路的系统建构。党的十八大以后，党中央继往开来，实现了中国式现代化的成功推进与拓展。从国家蒙难到民族独立，从工业化到现代化，从总体小康到全面小康，再到要求全面建成社会主义现代化强国。可以说，对中国式现代化的探索始终是贯穿中国共产党百余年奋斗征程的根本主线。中国共产党对中国式现代化的长期探索，不仅为新时代中国式现代化的深化发展提供了合法性支撑，也构成了党的现代化建设能力的深厚根基和底蕴。

(II) Operational Constituent Elements of the Communist Party of China’s Modernization Capacity in the New Era

（二）新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的运行性构成要素

Operational constituent elements are those relevant elements that, in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization, can provide positive utility for the development and manifestation of the value of the Party’s modernization capacity. Chinese-path modernization is not static or isolated, and the Party’s modernization capacity must also manifest its value in operation. From the specific unfolding of Chinese-path modernization, the most important among such elements are strong executive and participatory elements. Among them, the executive element constitutes the essential embodiment of the Party’s modernization capacity. The *Decision* [2]2 The *Decision* refers to the “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform to Advance Chinese Modernization,” adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC in July 2024. explicitly emphasizes the need to “enhance the authority and executive force of intra-Party regulations.” Within the Party’s modernization capacity, the executive element is mainly manifested in three major aspects: First, strategic execution capability. That is, the ability to accurately judge the domestic and international situation, scientifically formulate development strategies, and unswervingly advance and realize them. Second, policy execution capability. That is, the ability to transform policies related to Chinese-path modernization into concrete measures and promote their implementation and enforcement through effective execution mechanisms. Third, reform execution capability. That is, the ability to actively lead and promote various reform and innovation efforts, continuously injecting new vitality and momentum into Chinese-path modernization. It can be seen that the executive element directly concerns the authority and effectiveness of the operation of the Party’s modernization capacity.

运行性构成要素，即党在领导和推进中国式现代化的进程中，能为现代化建设能力的发展和彰显价值提供积极效用的相关要素。中国式现代化非静止孤立，党的现代化建设能力也必须在运行中才能彰显价值。从中国式现代化的具体展开看，这类要素中极为重要的是强大的执行性和参与性要素。其中，执行性要素构成了党的现代化建设能力的本质体现。《决定》明确强调要“增强党内法规权威性和执行力”。在党的现代化建设能力中，执行力要素主要彰显为三大层面：一是战略执行力。即能准确判断国内外形势，科学制定发展战略，并坚定不移地推进和实现。二是政策执行力。即能将有关中国式现代化的政策转化为具体措施，并通过有效的执行机制促其贯彻落实。三是改革执行力。即能积极引领和推动各项改革和创新工作，为中国式现代化不断注入新的活力和动力。可见，执行力要素直接关乎党的现代化建设能力运行的权威性和有效性。

The social element consists of positive social factors and conditions formed by the Party in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization. “The people are the main body of Chinese-path modernization; we must firmly rely on the people, respect the people’s creative spirit, and pool the wisdom and strength of all the people to continuously advance Chinese-path modernization.” Therefore, for the Party to continuously enhance its modernization capacity, it is always inseparable from the active participation and assistance at the societal level, that is, it calls for the support of social elements. Specifically, these elements include the social subjects’ recognition of and support for the Party’s modernization concepts, principles, and policies; the participation networks for actively integrating into the practice of Chinese-path modernization; and the resulting components such as participatory capacity and cohesive force. The social element is a kind of “empowerment” of the Party’s leadership and governance by social subjects. Actively developing it helps strengthen the Party’s mass organizational capability and social appeal, enabling the Party to more comprehensively understand the actual social situation and the needs of the masses, thereby promoting scientific and democratic decision-making.

社会性要素，是党在领导和推进中国式现代化进程中形成的社会积极因素与要件。“人民是中国式现代化的主体，必须紧紧依靠人民，尊重人民创造精神，汇集全体人民的智慧和力量，才能推动中国式现代化不断向前发展”。因此，党要不断提升现代化建设能力，也时刻离不开社会层面的积极参与和辅助，即呼唤社会性要素的支撑。具言之，这些要素包含了社会主体对党的现代化建设理念、方针和政策的认同力和支持力，积极融入中国式现代化实践的参与网络，以及由此形成的参与力和凝聚力等要件。社会性要素是社会主体对党领导和执政的一种“赋能”。积极加以开发有助于强化党的群众组织力和社会号召力，使党更加全面地了解社会实际情况和群众需求，进而推动决策科学化和民主化。

(III) Guaranteeing Constituent Elements of the Communist Party of China’s Modernization Capacity in the New Era

（三）新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的保障性构成要素

Guaranteeing constituent elements are those relevant elements that, in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization, can play a positive guaranteeing role in the construction and development of the Party’s modernization capacity. From the perspective of the development process of Chinese-path modernization, the most important among such constituent elements are organizational, institutional, and talent elements. The organizational element is the organizational structure support and guaranteeing force that enables the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era to be enhanced and strengthened. For the Party’s leadership and governance, the function of organization lies not only in ensuring the Party’s own stability and sustained development but also in unifying thought and action. Therefore, it is of great significance for enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity. Chinese-path modernization is essentially carried out in an organized manner under the Party’s overall leadership, and it is also advanced under the organized mobilization of the masses, integration of resources, and efficient execution by Party committees at all levels. Without the strong leadership of Party organizations at all levels, Chinese-path modernization would inevitably lose its direction and guarantee. Advancing Chinese-path modernization requires not only forming a complete set of scientific organizational architecture systems from the central level down to the local and grassroots levels but also promoting the concerted and coordinated efforts of various departments and institutions within the Party and government systems. Only in this way can the continuous enhancement and strengthening of modernization capacity be ensured.

保障性构成要素，就是党在领导和推进中国式现代化进程中，能够为现代化建设能力的建构、发展起到积极保障效用的相关要素。从中国式现代化的发展进程看，这类构成要素中最为重要的就是组织、制度和人才性要素。组织性要素是新时代党的现代化建设能力能够得以提升和强化的组织机构支撑和保障力量。对于党的领导和执政而言，组织的功能不仅在于确保党的自身稳定和持续发展，也在于统一思想与行动，因此对于党的现代化建设能力的提升意义重大。中国式现代化本质上是在党的全面领导下有组织性地展开的，也是在各级党委有组织性地动员群众、整合资源和高效执行下推进的。离开了各级党组织的坚强领导，中国式现代化必将失去方向和保障。推进中国式现代化，不仅要形成从中央到地方再到基层的一整套科学的组织架构体系，也要推动党政系统内各部门各机构协力并举。由此，才能确保现代化建设能力得到不断提升与强化。

The institutional element is the rigid support and guarantee for the enhancement and strengthening of the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era. The *Decision* emphasizes the need to adhere to “taking institutional development as the main thread,” “consolidate fundamental institutions, improve basic institutions, and innovate important institutions.” At the level of Party building, the improvement of the overall leadership system of the Party and the implementation mechanism for major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee; at the level of national governance, the improvement of the institutional system for ensuring and improving people’s livelihood and the institutional system for whole-process people’s democracy not only help the Party avoid the risk of becoming detached from the masses but also, under the premise of ensuring social fairness and justice, continuously stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of various social subjects to participate in modernization. This is crucial for enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity. Since the New Era, it is precisely based on the Party Central Committee’s high regard for institutional development that China’s socialist modernization has achieved historic accomplishments.

制度性要素是新时代党的现代化建设能力提升和强化的刚性支撑和保障。《决定》强调要坚持“以制度建设为主线”“筑牢根本制度，完善基本制度，创新重要制度”。在党的建设层面上，党的全面领导制度体系、党中央重大决策部署落实机制等的健全，国家治理层面上，保障和改善民生的制度体系、全过程人民民主制度体系等的完善，不仅有助于党规避脱离群众的风险，亦能够在保障社会公平正义的前提下，不断激发各类社会主体参与现代化建设的积极性和创造性，对党的现代化建设能力提升至关重要。新时代以来，正是基于党中央对制度建设的高度重视，才使我国社会主义现代化建设取得了历史性成就。

The talent element constitutes the micro-level subject guarantee for the enhancement and strengthening of the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era. As the primary resource, talent is a key element constituting the Party’s modernization capacity. Among these, the most important is the formation of a contingent of high-caliber cadres capable of shouldering the task of national rejuvenation. Among the various elements of the Party’s modernization capacity, whether it is the manifestation and exertion of the advantages of theoretical and historical elements, or the development of executive, participatory, and other elements, fundamentally, they are inseparable from the leadership and impetus provided by cadres. Especially in the face of the missions and tasks of the New Era and the new journey, it is necessary to always take the construction of a contingent of high-caliber cadres as an important lever. Precisely based on this, the *Decision* put forward the requirement to comprehensively enhance cadres’ capacity for modernization. To a certain extent, only by continuously accumulating talent can the Party ensure the comprehensive enhancement of its modernization capacity and promote the continuous deepening and development of Chinese-path modernization.

人才性要素则构成了新时代党的现代化建设能力提升和强化的微观主体保障。人才作为第一资源，是构成党的现代化建设能力的关键要素。其中，最为重要的是形成一支堪当民族复兴重任的高素质干部队伍。在党的现代化建设能力诸要素中，无论是理论和历史性要素的优势彰显和发挥，还是执行性、参与性等要素的发展，根本而言都离不开干部的引领和推动。尤其是面对新时代新征程的使命和任务，就必须始终将高素质干部队伍建设作为重要抓手。正基于此，《决定》提出了全面提升干部现代化建设能力的要求。某种程度上，党唯有不断积聚人才，才能确保现代化建设能力的全面提升，才能推动中国式现代化不断实现深化发展。

III. The Generative Logic of the Communist Party of China’s Modernization Capacity in the New Era

三、新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的生成逻辑

A concrete analysis of the constituent elements of the modernization capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era clarifies the essential meaning of the Party’s modernization capacity on the whole and provides a basic direction for grasping its construction and operational laws. Theoretically, the generation and development of the Party’s modernization capacity provide intrinsic guarantees and support for advancing Chinese-path modernization, while the achievements of Chinese-path modernization constitute the value manifestation of the Party’s modernization capacity. However, as the modernization capacity that provides intrinsic guarantees for Chinese-path modernization, its constituent elements differ both in value function and in basic attributes. Without effective integration and scientific adjustment, it is easy to encounter adverse conditions such as incomplete functions or even value loss. Therefore, to ensure that the Party’s modernization capacity is continuously strengthened, it is necessary to start from a systematic thinking perspective and provide further explanation of its generative mechanism and generative model.

对新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力构成要素的具化分析，从整体上厘清了党的现代化建设能力的内涵要义，也为把握其建构与运行规律提供了基本方向。从理论上看，党的现代化建设能力的生成与发展，为推进中国式现代化提供了内在保障与支撑，中国式现代化伟大成就的取得，则构成了党的现代化建设能力的价值体现。然而，作为中国式现代化内在保障的现代化建设能力，其构成要素无论是在价值功能上，还是在基本属性上都存在差异，若缺乏有效整合与科学调适，也易出现功能不全甚至价值流失的不良境况。因此，要确保党的现代化建设能力不断得到强化，就要从系统思维视角出发，对其生成机理和生成模式做出进一步阐释。

(I) The Generative Mechanism of the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

（一）新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的生成机理

Systematic thinking is an important category of Marxist epistemology and a fundamental ideological working method of our Party. As early as the mid-19th century, when explaining the laws of social development, Marx defined society as “an organism that is capable of change and is constantly in a process of change.” [3]3 Karl Marx, *Capital*, Vol. 1, Preface to the First Edition. Engels regarded the development of human history as “a picture of endless interweavings of connections and interactions,” where “everything is in motion, change, generation, and decay.” [4]4 Friedrich Engels, *Anti-Dühring*, Part I, Chapter 3. General Secretary Xi Jinping has also repeatedly emphasized that “all things are interconnected and interdependent. Only by observing things with a universally connected, comprehensive and systematic, and developmental and changing perspective can we grasp the laws of development of things.” [5]5 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China,” July 1, 2021. As a scientific method, systematic thinking is essentially a thinking model based on the perspective of overall optimization, using systematic methods to conduct comprehensive and in-depth analysis of subjective and objective objects. It emphasizes holism, structure, openness, and dynamism. Based on this, systematic thinking achieves a deepened understanding of the essence of things and their inherent laws.

系统思维是马克思主义认识论的重要范畴，也是我们党的基础性思想工作方法。早在1世纪中叶，马克思在阐释社会发展规律时，就曾将社会界定为“一个能够变化并且经常处于变化过程中的有机体”。恩格斯将人类历史发展视为“一幅由种种联系和相互作用无穷无尽地交织起来的画面”“一切都在运动、变化、生成和消逝”。习近平总书记也多次强调，“万事万物是相互联系、相互依存的。只有用普遍联系的、全面系统的、发展变化的观点观察事物，才能把握事物发展规律”。作为一种科学方法的系统思维，本质上是基于整体最优视角，运用系统方法对主客观对象进行全面、深入分析的思维模式，其强调的是全局性、结构性、开放性和动态性。基于此，系统思维实现了对事物本质及其内在规律的深化认识。

Based on the logic of systematic thinking, it can be seen that the various constituent elements discussed above essentially constitute important variables in the Party’s leadership and advancement of Chinese-path modernization. Party organizations at all levels, by actively building and innovating Party-building platforms and other pathways, integrate the constituent elements of modernization capacity, thereby enabling the transformation and output of the value of these constituent elements. That is to say, systematic thinking provides a basic framework for clarifying the generation and operational logic of the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era. In the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization, to ensure that the Party’s modernization capacity continuously manifests its value, it is necessary to analyze and clarify its construction subjects; only in this way can the capacity be continuously improved. Although the modernization capacity of the Party in the New Era contains multiple constituent elements, the source subjects of these elements are not entirely consistent. For example, theoretical, institutional, and organizational elements require the Party’s own leading construction; participatory elements fundamentally originate from the social system and require the active input of social subjects; while historical, talent, and executive elements are clearly inseparable from the coordination and cooperation of the Party and the masses. Starting from this, the multiple construction and generative subjects of the modernization capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era can be deduced.

基于系统思维的逻辑，可见上述论及的各类构成要素，实质上构成了党在领导和推进中国式现代化进程中的重要变量。各级党组织通过积极搭建和创新党建平台等途径，对现代化建设能力构成要素进行整合，可实现构成要素价值的转化输出。也即，系统思维为厘清新时代党的现代化建设能力的生成与运行逻辑提供了一个基本框架。在中国式现代化的深化发展中，要确保党的现代化建设能力不断彰显价值，必须对其建构主体作出分析和明确，唯此才能实现能力的持续提升。新时代党的现代化建设能力虽包含多重构成要素，但这些要素的来源主体则是不尽一致的，如理论性、制度性以及组织性等要素需要党自身的主导建构，参与性要素则根本上源于社会系统，需要社会主体的积极投入，而历史性、人才性和执行性要素则显然离不开党和人民群众的协同与配合。由此出发，便可推导出新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的多元建构与生成主体。

In the process of development, the Party can consolidate the theoretical foundation for strengthening modernization capacity through the inheritance and construction of theoretical elements, and can also form a guarantee and support effect in the improvement of modernization capacity through the improvement and innovation of organizational and institutional elements. Social subjects, as the fundamental subjects of Chinese-path modernization, provide an external support that cannot be ignored for the improvement of the modernization capacity of the Communist Party of China through extensive participation and innovative practice. To ensure the comprehensive improvement of the Party’s modernization capacity, Party organizations at all levels should also actively engage in extensive interactive cooperation and close coordination with various social subjects, so as to promote the continuous development and growth of historical, talent, and executive constituent elements. On this basis, through systematic absorption via Party-building platforms, the integration and value output of various constituent elements can be further realized, thereby achieving the value goals of building a strong country and national rejuvenation in the process of comprehensively improving the Party’s modernization capacity.

在展开过程中，党可通过理论性要素的传承和建构，为强化现代化建设能力夯实理论根基，亦可通过对组织和制度性要素的完善和创新，以在现代化建设能力提升中形成保障与支撑效应。社会主体作为中国式现代化的根本主体，通过广泛参与和创新实践，则为中国共产党现代化建设能力提升提供了不容忽视的外部支撑。为确保党的现代化建设能力能得到全面提升，各级党组织亦应积极同各类社会主体进行广泛的互动配合与紧密协同，以推动历史性、人才性和执行性等构成要素不断发展与壮大。在此基础上，通过党建平台进行系统吸纳，便可进一步实现对各类构成要素的整合与价值输出，以在现代化建设能力全面提升的过程中，达至强国建设和民族复兴的价值目标。

(II) The Generative Model of the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

（二）新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的生成模式

The above analysis shows that the generation of the Party’s modernization capacity is mainly based on three models: “endogenous” construction, “exogenous” assistance, and collaborative “symbiosis.” These three models intermingle and advance side by side, jointly acting on the concrete practice of the Party leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization.

上述分析可见，党的现代化建设能力的生成主要立足于“内生”建构、“外生”辅助和协作“共生”三重模式。三重模式彼此交融、并驾前行，共同作用于党领导和推进中国式现代化的具体实践。

First, the “endogenous” construction model. With the ruling Party itself as the fundamental subject, it mainly points to the construction and development of foundational and guarantee-related elements within modernization capacity. In practice, its generative process includes several links: the Party’s leading construction and innovation of relevant elements, the transformation and output of value in the process of leading and advancing Chinese-path modernization, and feedback based on the practice of Chinese-path modernization. The Communist Party of China is the leader of Chinese-path modernization. To continuously improve modernization capacity, Party organizations at all levels must first lead by example, providing intrinsic support for strengthening their own modernization capacity. From the practical course of the New Era, it is precisely under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee that theoretical and practical innovations have been continuously advanced, consolidating the theoretical foundation of Chinese-path modernization and pushing the development of various fields of China’s social economy to new heights. It can be said that the great achievements of Chinese-path modernization in the New Era are inseparable from the strong leadership of the Party. The strong leadership and leading construction of the Party provide a fundamental basis for the endogenous development of its own modernization capacity.

其一，“内生”建构模式。以执政党自身为根本主体，主要指向于现代化建设能力中奠基性及保障性相关要素的建构与发展。在实践中，其生成过程包括党对相关要素的主导建构和创新，在领导和推进中国式现代化过程中进行价值的转化输出，并基于中国式现代化实践做出反馈等若干环节组成。中国共产党是中国式现代化的领导者。不断提升现代化建设能力，各级党组织首先就要以身作则，为强化自身的现代化建设能力提供内在支撑。从新时代的实践历程看，正是在党中央的坚强领导下不断推进理论和实践创新，才夯实了中国式现代化的理论根基，才推动了我国社会经济各领域发展走上新台阶。可以说，新时代中国式现代化伟大成就的取得，同党的坚强领导密不可分。党的坚强领导和主导建构，为自身现代化能力的内生发展提供了根本依托。

Second, the “exogenous” assistance model. With the intervention and participation of various subjects within the social system as its manifestation, it mainly points to the generation and development of social elements within the Party’s modernization capacity. As mentioned above, Chinese-path modernization is the great cause of the entire people; “without the support and participation of the people, no reform can succeed.” [6]6 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up,” December 18, 2018. For example, in the field of economic construction, market entities achieving industrial upgrading through technological innovation clearly endow the Party’s economic work with stronger leadership and driving force. In the field of social construction, social intermediary organizations broadening participation channels by building communication platforms further enhance the Party’s social appeal and mass organizational capacity. Clearly, these are all beneficial to the improvement of the Party’s modernization capacity. In this model, various social subjects manifest their value through participation, while the Party achieves value output through social absorption, reaching the goal of further improving its own modernization capacity. Compared with the Party’s “endogenous” construction model, the “exogenous” assistance model has a natural spontaneity, which helps the Party’s modernization capacity to continuously achieve new breakthroughs and improvements.

其二，“外生”辅助模式。以社会系统内各类主体的介入和参与为表现形态，主要指向于党的现代化建设能力中社会性要素的生成与发展。正如上文所言，中国式现代化是全体人民的伟大事业，“没有人民支持和参与，任何改革都不可能取得成功”。如经济建设领域，市场主体通过技术创新实现产业升级，显然赋予了党的经济工作以更强的领导力和推动力。社会建设领域，社会中介组织通过搭建沟通平台拓宽参与渠道，则进一步提升了党的社会号召力和群众组织力。显然，这些对党的现代化建设能力提升都是有利的。该模式中，各类社会主体在参与中彰显价值，党则通过社会吸纳来实现价值输出，达到进一步提升自身现代化建设能力的目标。同党的“内生”建构模式相比，“外生”辅助模式具有天然的自发性，有助于党的现代化建设能力不断实现新的突破和提升。

Third, the collaborative “symbiosis” model. With the Party and various social subjects as co-participating subjects, it mainly points to the further strengthening and development of operational and guarantee-related elements within modernization capacity. In the generation and development of the Party’s modernization capacity, the above subjects not only independently exert their effects based on their respective authorities but are also closely connected. For example, from the perspective of historical elements, the glorious course of the Party leading Chinese-path modernization inevitably includes the participation and cooperation of the masses. From the perspective of executive elements, the implementation capacity of Party organizations at all levels regarding policies and systems related to Chinese-path modernization is influenced by multiple factors, such as the quality of the implementing subjects, the standardization level of the system itself, and the level of social participation. In particular, extensive social participation helps form a favorable situation of consultation and co-governance, creating a good environment for the improvement of the Party’s executive capacity. From the perspective of talent elements, for the Party to improve its modernization capacity, it is equally inseparable from the extensive talent input and support of the social system. Only by promoting the complementarity of these constituent elements through interactive cooperation can the Party’s modernization capacity be improved and strengthened. The development of this model provides more comprehensive support for the generation and development of the Party’s modernization capacity.

其三，协作“共生”模式。以党和各类社会主体为共同介入主体，主要指向于现代化建设能力中运行性和保障性相关要素的进一步强化与发展。在党的现代化建设能力的生成与发展中，上述主体既基于各自权限独立发挥效用，同时亦实现了紧密相连。如从历史性要素看，党领导中国式现代化的光辉历程，必然包含着群众的参与配合。从执行性要素看，各级党组织对中国式现代化相关政策和制度的执行力状况，就受到执行主体的素养、制度本身的规范化水平和社会参与水平等多方面因素的影响。尤其是广泛的社会参与有助于形成协商共治的良好局面，为党的执行力提升创造良好的环境。从人才性要素层面看，党要提升现代化建设能力，同样离不开社会系统广泛的人才输入与支撑。唯有推动这些构成要素在互动协作中实现互补，才能确保党的现代化建设能力得以提升与强化。该模式的展开为党的现代化建设能力的生成与发展提供了更加全面的支撑。

IV. Integration Pathways for the Modernization Capacity of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

四、新时代中国共产党现代化建设能力的集成路径

As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “Advancing Chinese-path modernization is a systematic project that requires overall consideration, systematic planning, and holistic promotion.” [1]1 Xi Jinping, “Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the Seminar on the Study and Implementation of the Spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC,” February 7, 2023. The enhancement of the Party’s modernization capacity is likewise a systematic project, requiring overall consideration and the proper handling of relations among all aspects. The generation and growth of the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era is essentially the result of the continuous construction and input, adjustment and integration, and transformation and output of its internal elements. Therefore, to ensure its comprehensive improvement and to advance Chinese-path modernization, it is necessary to carry out all-round innovation and optimization of its constituent elements, achieving systematic integration so as to manifest maximum effectiveness. This should be undertaken from three aspects.

正如习近平总书记指出的：“推进中国式现代化是一个系统工程，需要统筹兼顾、系统谋划、整体推进”。党的现代化建设能力的提升同样是系统性工程，需要做到统筹兼顾和处理好各方面关系。新时代党的现代化建设能力的生成与壮大，本质上是由其内在要素不断建构与输入、调适与整合以及转化与输出的结果。因此，要确保其实现全面提升，并推进中国式现代化不断实现前进，就必须对其构成要素做出全方位的创新与优化，达至系统集成，才能彰显出最大效能。对此，应立足于三方面展开。

(I) To comprehensively enhance the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era, the construction and input of its constituent elements must be innovated and optimized.

（一）新时代全面提升党的现代化建设能力，必须促其构成要素的建构输入实现创新优化

The Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era is an overall system formed by a series of elements. Therefore, to ensure its comprehensive improvement, efforts must first be made in the construction and input of elements. First, regarding the various elements “endogenously” constructed by the ruling Party itself, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity requires promoting their continuous accumulation, growth, and innovative development. For example, with respect to theoretical elements, it is currently necessary both to deeply comprehend Xi Jinping’s series of important expositions on Chinese-path modernization and to refine the modernization theories of Marxist classical writers, clarifying the reasoning, academic principles, and philosophical principles of the theoretical system of Chinese-path modernization. With respect to safeguarding elements, it is also currently necessary to place the further improvement of the Party’s organizational and institutional systems in a prominent position, especially actively improving the cadre training mechanism. Only thus can a more solid support be provided for enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity.

新时代党的现代化建设能力是由一系列要素形成的整体系统。因此，要确保其实现全面提升，首先就要在要素建构和输入上下功夫。其一，对于执政党“内生”建构的各类相关要素，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，就必须促其不断实现积累壮大和创新发展。如对于理论性要素，当前既要深刻领会习近平总书记关于中国式现代化的一系列重要论述，也要对马克思主义经典作家的现代化理论展开提炼，阐明中国式现代化理论体系的道理、学理及其哲理。对于保障性要素，当前亦应将进一步完善党的组织制度体系摆在突出位置，尤其要积极完善干部培训机制。由此，才能为党的现代化建设能力提升提供更加坚实的支撑。

Second, regarding the relevant constituent elements generated from the social system, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity requires continuously arousing the consciousness and initiative of social subjects to participate actively. On the one hand, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the political and value identification of various social subjects with the Party’s leadership and Chinese-path modernization. This includes both actively carrying out ideological and political work to raise the level of understanding of social subjects, and continuously increasing efforts to improve people’s livelihoods, so that the developmental achievements of Chinese-path modernization truly benefit the masses of the people, thereby generating broader participation momentum. On the other hand, it is also necessary to continuously broaden the pathways and channels for social subjects to participate, such as further improving the working mechanism for soliciting public opinion and pooling popular wisdom, granting market entities greater autonomy and development space, etc., so as to continuously improve the quality of participation on the basis of stimulating their vitality, thereby consolidating the social foundation for the comprehensive enhancement of the Party’s modernization capacity.

其二，对于社会系统生发而来的相关构成要素，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，就要不断唤起社会主体主动参与的自觉性和积极性。一方面，要不断强化各类社会主体对党的领导和中国式现代化的政治与价值认同。其中，既要积极做好思想政治工作，提升社会主体的认识水平，也要不断加大改善民生的力度，让中国式现代化的发展成就真正惠及人民群众，由此方能形成更为广泛的参与动力。另一方面也要不断拓宽社会主体参与的途径和渠道，如进一步健全吸纳民意和汇集民智工作机制，赋予市场主体以更大自主权和发展空间等，以在激发其活力的基础上不断提升参与质量，进而夯实党的现代化建设能力全面提升的社会根基。

Third, regarding the relevant constituent elements formed through the collaborative “co-generation” of the ruling Party and social subjects, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity requires promoting their further movement toward value integration. For example, with respect to executive elements, while continuously improving the relevant institutional and oversight systems, it is also necessary to further form mechanisms for collaborative participation by various social subjects. With respect to historical elements, while elucidating the glorious course of the Party’s leadership and advancement of Chinese-path modernization, it is also necessary to summarize the practical experience of the masses of the people in participating in Chinese-path modernization. With respect to talent elements, while focusing on improving the quality and ability of leading cadres at all levels, it is also necessary to continuously recruit talented individuals from a wide range. Only thus can Chinese-path modernization be continuously advanced in the process of comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity.

其三，对于执政党和社会主体协作“共生”形成的相关构成要素，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，就要促其进一步走向价值融合。如对于执行性要素，在不断完善相关制度体系和监督体系的同时，也要进一步形成各类社会主体的协作参与机制。针对历史性要素，在阐明党领导和推进中国式现代化光辉历程的同时，也要对人民群众参与中国式现代化的实践经验作出总结。针对人才性要素，在着力提升各级领导干部素养和能力的同时，也要不断广纳贤才。由此，才能在全面提升党的现代化建设能力中，推进中国式现代化不断前进。

(II) To comprehensively enhance the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era, the integration and adjustment of its constituent elements must be innovated and optimized.

（二）新时代全面提升党的现代化建设能力，必须促其构成要素的整合调适实现创新优化

Systematic development presupposes the coordination of elements. Therefore, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity requires achieving the integration and coordination of its constituent elements. Achieving this goal should be carried out from three aspects: First, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity requires constructing a more comprehensive and integrated Party-building platform. A Party-building platform refers to the service and governance platform built by Party organizations at all levels, taking the enhancement of the practical effectiveness of Party-building and ideological and political work as the starting point, to promote information sharing and resource integration. Whether it is the absorption and development of the constituent elements of the Party’s modernization capacity, or their adjustment and integration, all must be carried out relying on the Party-building platform. In recent years, driven by digital technology, some local grassroots Party organizations have initially formed a working approach of “Party-building + technology + governance” through digital empowerment. However, overall, such platforms are still not widespread domestically. With the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization and the continuously rising demands it places on the Party’s modernization capacity, it is necessary to achieve innovation and improvement. On the one hand, it is necessary to further integrate platform resources, especially breaking down administrative and information barriers between different levels, institutions, and departments, forming a comprehensive and “one-stop” digital Party-building platform, providing a more solid information carrier for the Party to enhance its modernization capacity. On the other hand, it is necessary to further expand platform functions, especially strengthening the construction of the project end, service end, and co-governance end, and continuously optimizing platform operation processes based on digital technology, consolidating the technical foundation for comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity.

系统发展以要素协调为前提。因此，全面提升党的现代化建设能力需要实现其构成要素的整合协调。实现这一目标，应基于三方面展开：其一，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，必须建构形成更加综合性和一体化的党建平台。党建平台，即各级党组织以强化党建和思想政治工作实践效能为出发点，为促进信息共享和资源整合而搭建的服务和治理平台。无论是党的现代化建设能力构成要素的吸纳与发展，还是对其进行调适整合，都要依托党建平台进行展开。近年来，在数字技术驱动下，一些地方基层党组织通过数字赋能，初步形成了“党建+科技+治理”的工作思路，但整体而言，目前国内这类平台依旧不普遍。随着中国式现代化深化发展，及其对党的现代化建设能力要求的不断提升，有必要实现创新完善。一方面要进一步整合平台资源，尤其是要打破不同层级、机构和部门间的行政和信息壁垒，形成综合性和“一站式”数字党建平台，为党提升现代化建设能力提供更加坚实的信息载体。另一方面要进一步拓展平台功能，尤其是强化项目端、服务端和共治端建设，并基于数字技术不断优化平台运行流程，为全面提升党的现代化建设能力夯实技术底座。

Second, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity also requires relying on the Party-building platform to form a more comprehensive concept for enhancing modernization capacity. On the one hand, it is necessary to always establish the methodology of systematic thinking, actively incorporating all beneficial resources and related elements that strengthen the Party’s overall leadership and scientifically advance Chinese-path modernization into the Party-building platform for integration, adjustment, and optimization, providing positive support and guarantee for the Party to lead and advance Chinese-path modernization. On the other hand, in the process of integration and adjustment by the Party-building platform, Party organizations at all levels must also further form a structural management concept. This includes both grasping the internal connections among foundational, operational, and safeguarding constituent elements, and clearly defining the functional positioning of these elements. Only thus can the scientific operation, integration, and adjustment of the Party-building platform ensure the continuous innovation and improvement of the aforementioned relevant elements.

其二，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，也要依托党建平台形成更为全面的现代化建设能力提升理念。一方面要始终树立系统思维的方法论，将一切有益于强化党的全面领导，及其科学推进中国式现代化的有利资源和相关要素，积极纳入党建平台进行整合、调适和优化，为党领导和推进中国式现代化提供正向支撑与保障。另一方面，在党建平台进行整合与调适的过程中，各级党组织也要进一步形成结构性的管理理念。其中，既要把握奠基性、运行性及保障性构成要素的内在联系，也要对这些要素的功能定位作出明确界定，由此才能通过党建平台的科学运行和整合调适，确保上述相关要素不断实现创新完善。

Third, comprehensively enhancing the Party’s modernization capacity also requires embedding specific coordination and transformation mechanisms within the Party-building platform. On the one hand, guided by the Party’s mission and tasks for the New Era and the new journey, a dynamic coordination mechanism for the constituent elements of modernization capacity should be formed within the Party-building platform. For example, since the New Era, whether in the historical inheritance and theoretical innovation of the Party’s leadership of Chinese-path modernization, or in the improvement of organizational systems, there have been breakthrough leaps compared to the past. Therefore, innovation and improvement of executive, talent, and other elements should be placed in a prominent position. Only thus can the Party’s leadership and combat effectiveness be further enhanced. On the other hand, guided by the specific requirements of Chinese-path modernization for the New Era and the new journey, a mechanism for the practical transformation of capacity should be formed on the basis of platform integration. In this process, it is particularly important to go deep into reality and strengthen problem awareness. Only by continuously analyzing and effectively solving practical problems can the Party’s modernization capacity be continuously strengthened, providing a fundamental guarantee for the deepening development of Chinese-path modernization.

其三，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，还要依托党建平台嵌入具体性的协调转化机制。一方面，要以新时代新征程党的使命任务为导向，在党建平台内部形成现代化建设能力构成要素的动态协调机制。如新时代以来，无论是在党领导中国式现代化的历史传承和理论创新方面，还是在组织制度的完善方面，较之以往都有了突破性飞跃。由此，应将创新和完善执行性、人才性等要素摆在重要位置，唯此才能进一步提升党的领导力和战斗力。另一方面，也要以新时代新征程中国式现代化的具体要求为指引，在平台整合基础上形成能力的实践转化机制。在此过程中，尤为重要的就是要深入实际并强化问题意识。唯有不断分析并切实解决现实问题，党的现代化建设能力才能不断得到强化，才能为中国式现代化的深化发展提供根本保证。

(III) To comprehensively enhance the Party’s modernization capacity in the New Era, its constituent elements must be innovated and optimized after practical transformation.

（三）新时代全面提升党的现代化建设能力，必须促其构成要素在实践转化后实现创新优化

If the construction and innovation of constituent elements are regarded as the prerequisite for the generation of the Party’s modernization capacity, then through the integration and output of Party-building platforms, this further points to the concrete manifestation of the Party’s modernization capacity. Therefore, to comprehensively enhance the Party’s modernization capacity, it is also necessary to attach great importance to the inspection of the state of affairs after value output. In this regard, in addition to forming a cadre training mechanism, a dynamic coordination mechanism, and a practical transformation mechanism, corresponding feedback and evaluation mechanisms should also be further embedded. On the one hand, to comprehensively enhance the Party’s modernization capacity, a scientific information feedback mechanism must be embedded. Among other things, it is necessary not only to construct information feedback channels with Party-building platforms as the hub, so as to promote better operation and development of the platforms, but also to form all-round feedback loops based on the generative subjects of each constituent element, and to make improvements based on the feedback results, so as to provide information support for the enhancement of the Party’s modernization capacity. On the other hand, to comprehensively enhance the Party’s modernization capacity, it is even more necessary to form a targeted evaluation mechanism. For example, evaluating the development of its constituent elements, their integration within Party-building platforms, the transformation of each constituent element, and the manifestation of their value in the practice of Chinese-path modernization can build a more solid support for the generation and development of the Party’s modernization capacity. In practice, Party organizations at all levels must not only play a political leading role but also extensively listen to the opinions and suggestions of participating subjects. In this way, it can be ensured that the Party’s modernization capacity continuously exerts positive effects.

若将构成要素的建构创新，视为党的现代化建设能力生成的前提要件，则通过党建平台的整合输出，就进一步指向了党的现代化建设能力的具体展现。因此，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，也要高度重视价值输出后的状况检视。对此，除了形成干部培训机制、动态协调机制和实践转化机制外，还应进一步嵌入相应的反馈评价机制。一方面，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，必须嵌入科学的信息反馈机制。其中，不仅要以党建平台为中枢建构信息反馈渠道，以推动平台实现更好的运行与发展，更要基于各构成要素的生成主体形成全方位的反馈环路，并根据反馈结果进行完善，以为党的现代化建设能力提升提供信息支撑。另一方面，全面提升党的现代化建设能力，更要形成针对性的评价机制。如对其构成要素的发展情况，在党建平台内的整合情况，各构成要素的转化情况，及其在中国式现代化实践中的价值彰显情况等展开评价，可为党的现代化建设能力的生成与发展构筑更加坚实的支撑。在实践中，各级党组织既要发挥政治引领作用，也要广泛听取参与主体的意见和建议。由此，可确保党的现代化建设能力不断发挥出积极效能。
