The Progress of Modernization and Chinese Socialist Party Politics

现代化进程中的中国社会主义政党政治

Modernization gave birth to party politics, and party politics dominates modernization. Their correlation and interaction have been a major logic behind the evolution of human civilization since the beginning of modern times. The objectivity of China’s modernization gives rise to the historical inevitability of party politics, and its relevance to the Chinese nation and to the current time dictates that party politics should be socialist in China and that its development is an irreversible trend. In the Chinese revolution, in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and in the modernization of China over the past century, to accomplish the historic task of national rejuvenation, Chinese socialist party politics has profoundly changed the course of Chinese history, making Chinese society strive for modernization and causing great changes in the contemporary world. During this process, Chinese socialist party politics has had a 'distinct fundamental value orientation,' followed 'the premise of essential theoretical guidance,' enjoyed 'dominant institutional support,' provided 'goal-oriented value guidance' and received a 'crucial political guarantee.' It has combined its own values with China’s modernization and played a leading role in this drive. It has pursued the most deep-seated values, demonstrated the most unique characteristics of practice, and made the most significant contribution to civilization. All this is a key element of the experience and theory of the interaction between modernization and Chinese socialist party politics. It also provides crucial support for and guides the value of strengthening the Communist Party of China(CPC) and modernizing China.

现代化催生政党政治,政党政治主导现代化。政党政治与现代化的共生与互动,是近代以来人类文明演进的大逻辑。中国现代化的客观性内蕴政党政治的历史必然性,其民族性与时代性则赋予中国政党政治成长的社会主义规定性及其不可逆转的发展趋势。百年以来,在中华民族伟大复兴的历史主题牵引下,中国社会主义政党政治在中国革命进程、中国特色社会主义建设和现代国家构建的宏阔实践中,以鲜明的“根本性的价值定位”、“前提性的理论引导”、“主导性的制度支撑”、“目的性的价值牵引”以及“关键性的政治保障”,将自身价值与中国现代化融为一体并发挥统领性的主导作用,以最深层次的价值追求、最独特的实践特征和最显著的文明贡献,深刻改变了中国历史的发展进程,赢得了中国社会奋力走向现代化的历史性巨变,进而深度影响了世界格局的时代性变迁。这既是社会主义政党政治与中国现代化互动的经验集成与理论创造的核心标识,也是把中国共产党建设成为世界强大政党、从而把中国建设成为现代化强国的关键支撑和价值引导。
