Release time: 2024-06-14
Abstract: The question of autonomy is the core issue of China’s modernization and the key to solving the problem of Chinese-style modernization. Due to the influence of “Western-centrism”, China’s modernization has, to a certain extent and to a certain degree, not answered the question of “autonomy” in a rational and firm manner. To accurately grasp the question of the autonomy of China’s modernization, it is necessary to clarify the inevitable logic of the discussion of the question, break the influence of “Western-centrism”, and determine the historical starting point. To scientifically answer the question of the autonomy of China’s modernization, we need to realize from the early exploration of “opening our eyes to the world” that adherence to the old ways is a dead end, and from the repeated failures of “learning from the West” that copying the Western model is an evil way, and to realize in the successful pioneering of “Party leadership” that independence and autonomy is the way out. To deepen the study of the autonomy of China's modernization, it is necessary to go beyond the “Western-centrism” and build an autonomous modernization model; to adhere to the guidance of Marxism adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of our times and construct the theoretical system of China’s modernization; to focus on the center of China and push forward the practice of Chinese modernization; to contribute a brand-new proposal for the form of human civilization and provide Chinese wisdom for the theory and practice of modernization.
