The Chinese Experience of Autonomous Modernization for Late Developing Countries
Modernization is a common cause of humanity,but it is not a natural process of social evolution.Rather,it is a long historical evolutionary process with complex hierarchical structures and variables.The"reactive"passive modernization of late developing countries after being"impacted"by the West needs to follow the political economic logic of development,where state construction,party leadership,and government quality are the fundamental elements for achieving autonomous modernization.From the perspective of state construction,the prerequisite issue for late developing countries'autonomous modernization is the issue of state sovereignty,and the continuous input of national identity is the foundation of state construction.In terms of party leadership,late developing countries need the consensus on autonomous modernization consolidated by the party as well as political mobilization,and their parties should drive the institutionalization of the state's political system through their own institutionalization.Regarding government quality,the policy making for gradual economic reform is a key indicator of government quality,while fairness,responsiveness,and integrity are the benchmark of government quality.The state construction,party leadership,and government quality in the Chinese path to modernization are aimed at the people's ownership of the state and building a nation for the people,a people-centered new form of modernization,and an efficient and credible law-based government respectively.They are the fundamental guarantees for the high degree of autonomy in Chinese-style modernization.If late developing countries only focus on industrialization technologically or rigidly copy Western institutional models without gradually promoting economic,political and social reforms suited to their national conditions,they will inevitably encounter setbacks and become mere"appendages"of Western modernization.
