中共中央党校（国家行政学院）科研部主任陈曙光教授作主题发言

Professor Chen Shuguang, Director of the Research Department of the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC (National Academy of Governance), explained from the perspective of civilizational comparison why the “Western logic” of modernization is unsuitable for China. He pointed out that China’s pluralistic-unitary, great-unity state structural form [1]1 “Pluralistic-unitary, great-unity state structural form” (多元一体、大一统的国家形态结构) refers to the traditional Chinese concept of a unified multi-ethnic state, where diversity is integrated under a single centralized political order. does not match Western modern civilization based on nation-states; traditional cultural elements with “near-socialist, anti-capitalist” attributes do not match Western modern civilization of a capitalist nature; the magnanimity of an Eastern great power that embraces the world and is inclusive does not match Western modern civilization adhering to a centrist stance; the family-state integrated structure of “taking the world as one family and China as one person” does not match Western modern civilization based on individual value; and the national character of pacifying distant peoples and harmonizing all nations [2]2 “Pacifying distant peoples and harmonizing all nations” (怀柔远人、协和万邦) is a classical Chinese idiom from the Confucian tradition, advocating a policy of conciliation toward foreign peoples and harmony among all states. does not match the highly aggressive and offensive Western modern civilization.

中共中央党校（国家行政学院）科研部主任陈曙光教授从文明比较的视角阐释现代化的“西方逻辑”为什么不适合中国。他指出，中国多元一体、大一统的国家形态结构与建基于民族国家之上的西方现代文明不匹配，“近社会主义、反资本主义”属性的传统文化元素与资本主义性质的西方现代文明不匹配，胸怀天下、海纳百川的东方大国气度与秉承中心主义立场的西方现代文明不匹配，“以天下为一家，以中国为一人”的家国一体结构与以个体价值为本位的西方现代文明不匹配，怀柔远人、协和万邦的民族性格与极富侵略性进攻性的西方现代文明不匹配。
