Enlightenment from China s Modernization and Western Modernization;
Western modernization theory is the theoretical basis of western modernization. From an academic point of view, the western modernization theory has exposed many weaknesses, defects and problems from the beginning. Politically speaking, the western modernization theory has been criticized from all sides from the beginning. Although there are many defects and deficiencies in western modernization theory, there are also many places worthy of our reference or enlightenment. To realize modernization, China must also learn from the experience and lessons of western modernization theory.
Differences between China s Modernization and Western Modernization;
First, the time and way of realization are different.
Second, the values are different. The modernization of the west is carried out according to the logic of capital, which is driven by capital and profit, and emphasizes the maximization of profit. Chinese modernization is carried out in accordance with "people's logic", driven by people's interests, social interests and public interests, and emphasizes people's interests as the center.
Third, the implementation path is different. The west has embarked on the road of violence and plunder. Internally, it is mainly manifested in sacrificing the interests of the bottom people. China's path is obviously different. Our aim, mission and initial intention are to serve the people. China has no colonies and no predatory genes.
Fourth, it is the difference in the final result. What western modernization finally consolidates is the maximization of the interests of a few bourgeoisie. The modernization of China benefits all the people.
