Chinese Path to Modernization of Rural Governance:Contemporary Implications and Strategies——A Case Study of the'Thousand Villages Demonstration,Ten Thousand Villages Renovation'Project
The Chinese path to modernization of rural governance is a comprehensive,systematic,and coordinated process.With the leadership of the Party as the fundamental political guarantee,this approach emphasizes local tra-ditions while adopting global perspectives,which provides a solid foundation of achievements and ideological sup-port for sustainable rural governance and imbues rural governance with new times connotations.These are primarily reflected in four key aspects:upholding'the Party's overall leadership'as the political guarantee;emphasizing'the principal status of the people'as the value orientation;adhering to'the integration of self-governance,rule of law,and rule by virtue'as the methodological approach,and promoting'digital rural development'as a crucial measure.In the new era,the'Thousand Villages Demonstration,Ten Thousand Villages Renovation'Project,as a model of rural governance modernization with Chinese characteristics,offers a unique contribution to global govern-ance.It demonstrates a successful example of governance under the leadership of the ruling party,manifests the powerful role of public participation in rural governance,illustrates a rural landscape where order and vitality coex-ist,and highlights the cultural confidence derived from integrating China's outstanding traditional culture into the governance system.
