A New Model for Human Advancement

"A new model for human advancement" is the phrase President Xi Jinping used to summarize the glorious history of the CPC and the great achievements along the new Chinese path to modernization from the perspective of civilization. "China has upheld and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics and driven coordinated progress in material, political, cultural-ethical, social, and ecological terms," he said on July 1, 2021, at a ceremony marking the centenary of the CPC. "We have pioneered a new and uniquely Chinese path to modernization and created a new model for human advancement."

For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has followed a path of civilizational development distinct from other countries and nations. Along the long historical process, the Chinese nation formed spiritual characteristics and development patterns underscoring benevolence, the importance of all people, integrity, justice, harmony, and unity. The Chinese path to moderniza- tion is deeply rooted in the best of traditional Chinese culture. It reflects the advanced nature of scientific socialism and draws on all the most outstanding achievements of human civilization. It represents the development direction of human civilization, offers a new vision that contrasts the Western modernization model, and produces a new model for human advancement. This new model created by the Chinese path to modernization has solved many problems hindering the development of human society, set an example for other developing countries to move towards modernization independently, and provided Chinese solutions for mankind to explore better social systems.
