Sound China ｜ Chinese modernization highlights ＂four self-confidences＂

　　Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party pointed out: "On the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization through theoretical and practical breakthroughs since the 18th National Congress." Chinese-style modernization is not only a theoretical innovation, but also a practical initiative, and it is also a practical requirement. As a theoretical innovation, it has written a new chapter in the modernization of Marxism in China. As a pioneering practice, it has created a new road of Chinese modernization and a new form of human civilization. As a practical requirement, it is emphasized that we must be firm, self-reliant and confident. The successful promotion and expansion of Chinese modernization can not be separated from self-reliance and self-confidence, but also shows "four self-confidences" in road, theory, system and culture, which are unified in the practice of building a powerful socialist modernization country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Highlight the only correctness of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is a road rooted in China, reflecting the wishes of the people, adapting to the development and progress of China and the times, the only way to realize socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We adhered to and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics, promoted the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, and created a new road of Chinese modernization and a new form of human civilization. The new road of Chinese modernization was created on the basis of adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Compared with the new road of Chinese modernization, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road has original significance, which is essentially the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics modernization. More specifically, Chinese modernization is the concrete embodiment of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road in the field of modernization. The breakthrough of Chinese modernization in theory and practice lies in its unswerving progress along the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the ten years of the new era, the remarkable achievements in the modernization of the party and the country have fully proved that Chinese-style modernization is the only correct way to build a strong country and national rejuvenation.

　　A Marxist line that highlights the modernization of China.

　　Guiding new practice with new theory and sublimating theory in new practice is the secret of success in Chinese modernization. The reason why Marxism works is that the Party keeps pushing forward the modernization of Marxism in China and uses it to guide practice. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, as the latest achievement of the modernization of Marxism in China, guides Chinese modernization science to answer the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, and provides world outlook and methodological support for the construction of Chinese modernization theory system. The historical process of Chinese modernization is unstoppable, which strongly proves that "in the final analysis, it is a Marxist line, and it is a Marxist line of China modernization", which effectively demonstrates the ideological power and practical strength of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era.

　　Highlight the institutional advantages and superiority of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is composed of fundamental system, basic system, important system and related institutional mechanisms, and has formed a set of well-structured, coordinated, scientific and effective institutional systems in various fields such as economy, politics, culture, society and ecological civilization, which provides an effective institutional guarantee for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. The breakthrough of Chinese-style modernization in theory and practice lies in that we constantly promote the self-improvement and development of the socialist system, rather than changing its course. Chinese modernization is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC). The leadership of the party determines the fundamental nature of Chinese modernization. Only by unswervingly adhering to the leadership of the party can Chinese modernization have a bright future and flourish. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China systematically explained the basic characteristics, essential requirements, step arrangement, practical principles, strategic priorities and other aspects of Chinese modernization, especially systematically planned the overall development goal of the "first step" in the overall strategic arrangement of "two steps" to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, and the main objectives and tasks in the next five years, further promoted reform and innovation, and constantly demonstrated the institutional advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It not only declares the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s historical self-confidence and responsibility for the times, but also highlights the institutional advantages and advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics at different institutional levels. In today’s world, if any political party, country or nation can be confident,The Communist Party of China (CPC), People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Chinese nation have the most reason to be confident. This is also impossible for the western modernization road to achieve and replicate.

　　Highlight the cultural charm of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, deeper and more lasting force, which provides a deep soil for the new road of Chinese modernization, provides ideological and cultural resources for the initial construction of the theoretical system of Chinese modernization, and injects innovation and creativity into the system of Chinese modernization. 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 has distinctive China characteristics, which lies in its deep roots in Chinese excellent traditional culture, transforming the people-oriented thought and the idea of world harmony in Chinese traditional culture into upholding the people’s supremacy and promoting the construction of a community of human destiny, highlighting the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture. It is because it takes revolutionary culture, especially the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, as the spiritual support to create Chinese modernization, persists in carrying forward the spirit of struggle, and enhances the ambition, backbone and confidence of the whole party and the people of all nationalities. It is to build a socialist cultural power around raising flags, gathering people’s hearts, educating new people, promoting culture and displaying image, and to lead Chinese modernization to draw a blueprint for the future with advanced socialist culture. To promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, we must adhere to the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, develop advanced socialist culture, carry forward revolutionary culture, inherit Chinese excellent traditional culture, enhance cultural self-confidence and enhance the spiritual strength to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　We should persist in our firm belief in Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strengthen our road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence, so as to make new contributions to the development of Marxism with a more active historical responsibility and creative spirit. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s century-long struggle tells us that only by adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics can we adhere to the road, theory, system and culture of Chinese modernization and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Only by strengthening the "four self-confidences" can we comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization.
