Comprehensive Transcendence and New Path Exploration of the Chinese Path to Modernization Compared with the Western Path to Modernization
In the past century,the western world made three critical reflections upon western civili-zation represented by European civilization,Christian civilization,and capitalist civilization,ultimately due to the increasingly prominent drawbacks brought about by the western path to modernization.Com-pared with the western path to modernization,Chinese path to modernization based on Chinese civiliza-tion is a lively embodiment of"two combinations"and transcends the western path to modernization by replacing"the West-centrism","universal values","zero-sum mentality"and"personality liberation"with"civilization coexistence","common values","peace and win-win cooperation"and"human liberation".The Chinese path to modernization is not based on the master version of Confucian-ism,Buddhism and Taoism,nor on the template of the theory of common victory.It is neither a reprint of the experience of socialist movements from other countries nor a copy of the classical modernization theories.The Chinese path to modernization is based on the modernization of Marxism in China,which has opened up a new form of human civilization and explored a new path to modernization.
