Abstract:

The construction of Chinese Modernization Discourse is a unity of logic, theory, and reality. It began as the Communist Party of China’s dialectical criticism of Western capitalism’s modernization discourse, the systematic study of modernization in domestic academic circles, and the practice of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics. All of these threads converged at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC in 1978. In the process of constructing this discourse, it is necessary to adhere to the political principle of the unity of leadership of the Communist Party of China and people-centeredness and to uphold the principles of world diversity and national subjectivity. We must abide by the academic principle of unifying advanced theoretical guidance and standardized academic research, while adhering to the principle of unifying the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and its excellent traditions. This is also in line with the principle of academicism, the principle of combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's concrete realities, and with China's excellent traditional culture, and the principle of expression, which unites political discourse, academic discourse, and popular discourse. Chinese Modernization Discourse can be expeditiously realized from preliminary construction to a mature and finalized form through the process of applying the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, promoting practice-based theoretical innovation, innovating the means of expression and dissemination of the discourse, adhering to the innovation centered on the real issues and the essence of socialist modernization, and constructing a consensus on the discourse and increasing the power of the international discourse. It is only by promoting the construction of Chinese Modernization Discourse that this discourse can be transformed from preliminary construction to mature and finalized as soon as possible.

Key words: Chinese-style modernization discourse, construction, starting point, principle, path
