General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important exposition on Chinese-style modernization provides a fundamental basis for the whole party to think forward, plan overall and promote Chinese-style modernization as a whole. We should thoroughly study and understand it and conscientiously implement it.
On the leading force of Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese modernization is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC)" and "the leadership of the Party is directly related to the fundamental direction, future and destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese modernization". The party’s leadership determines the fundamental nature of Chinese modernization, ensures that the Chinese modernization is anchored to a stable and far-reaching goal, stimulates the strong motive force of building Chinese modernization, and condenses the majestic power of building Chinese modernization. To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party and give full play to the Party’s leading core role of commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties.
China characteristics of Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has distinctive characteristics based on its own national conditions." Chinese-style modernization is a modernization with a huge population. China’s population of more than 1.4 billion has entered a modern society as a whole, and its scale exceeds the total population of existing developed countries, and its arduousness and complexity are unprecedented. It is the modernization of the common prosperity of all the people, and it is necessary to persist in realizing the people’s longing for a better life as the starting point and the foothold of modernization; It is a coordinated modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization, which promotes the all-round enrichment of things and the all-round development of people; It is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and we must unswervingly follow the path of civilized development of production development, affluent life and good ecology; It is a modernization that takes the road of peaceful development. We should seek our own development while firmly safeguarding world peace and development, and better safeguard world peace and development with our own development. These five aspects of China’s characteristics profoundly reveal the scientific connotation of Chinese modernization.
On the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The essential requirements of Chinese modernization are: adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, adhering to Socialism with Chinese characteristics, achieving high-quality development, developing people’s democracy throughout the process, enriching people’s spiritual world, achieving common prosperity for all people, promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature, promoting the building of a community of human destiny and creating a new form of human civilization." The unique world outlook, values, historical outlook, civilization outlook, democracy outlook, ecological outlook and its great practice contained in Chinese modernization are great innovations in the theory and practice of world modernization. We should deeply understand and systematically grasp the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, enhance our consciousness and firmness, and earnestly implement them in all the work of promoting Chinese-style modernization.
Major principles of Chinese modernization. First, uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the party. Only by grasping this major principle can we ensure the correct direction of China’s socialist modernization drive, ensure a strong political cohesion of unity and struggle, and develop self-confidence. Second, adhere to the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road. Only by grasping this important principle can we not take the old road of being closed and rigid, nor do we take the evil road of changing our flag. Third, adhere to the people-centered development thinking. Only by grasping this major principle can we make the achievements of modernization more fair and benefit all the people. The fourth is to persist in deepening reform and opening up. Only by grasping this important principle can we continuously enhance the motivation and vitality of socialist modernization. Fifth, persist in carrying forward the spirit of struggle. Only by grasping this important principle can we overcome all kinds of difficulties and challenges on the road ahead and open up a new world of career development by tenacious struggle.
On the strategic arrangement, objectives and tasks of building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way. In the Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a macro-prospect on the two-step strategic arrangement of building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, further defined the objectives and tasks of China’s development by 2035 from eight aspects around the basic realization of socialist modernization, and put forward the goals of China’s development by the middle of this century. This series of strategic arrangements, objectives and tasks have defined the timetable and road map for building a powerful socialist modernization country in an all-round way, which not only embodies the consistency and integrity of our party’s strategic objectives in socialist modernization, but also conforms to the continuity, stages and times of practical development, which is encouraging and inspiring.
Some important relations that need to be handled well in promoting Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Promoting Chinese modernization is a systematic project, which requires overall consideration, systematic planning and overall promotion, and correctly handles a series of major relationships such as top-level design and practical exploration, strategy and tactics, integrity and innovation, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, self-reliance and self-improvement and opening up." Promoting Chinese modernization and building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is a great and arduous undertaking with a bright future and a long way to go. We must constantly improve our strategic thinking, historical thinking, dialectical thinking, systematic thinking, innovative thinking, rule of law thinking and bottom line thinking, and correctly handle a series of major relationships.
Make a good start for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way
In the new era and new journey, the practice of Chinese modernization has been carried out in all directions, in all fields, in depth and with high quality on the land of China. We must work hard, move forward bravely, work hard and work hard to make a good start for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

Build a contingent of high-quality cadres who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation. To build a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we must have a contingent of cadres who are politically competent, adapt to the requirements of the new era and have the ability to lead the modernization drive. We must adhere to the principle of the Party governing cadres, adhere to the principle of having both ability and political integrity, putting morality first, being all corners of the country and appointing people on their merits, and implement the standards of good cadres in the new era. Establish the correct orientation of selecting and employing people, select high-quality professional cadres who are loyal and clean, and select the best and strengthen the leading bodies at all levels.

Strengthen the cultivation of cadres’ fighting spirit and fighting skills, focus on strengthening their ability to prevent risks, meet challenges and resist repression, and encourage cadres to dare to take responsibility and act positively.

As long as we unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, fully implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and unite as a "hard piece of steel" under the banner of the Party, we will surely win new victories in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
