The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward Chinese-style modernization, emphasizing the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization. In addition, the leaders particularly emphasized two integrations -- integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and with China's fine traditional culture; what is the particularly important combination? It is necessary to integrate our party's guiding ideology with the inheritance of China's excellent civilization. Our party's guiding ideology also includes the inheritance of the excellent civilization of the Chinese nation. What does this mean? What it means is that Marxism can be produced in the Yan'an ravine, and socialism can be produced with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, from this point of view, the two civilizations of Chinese modernization should be closely integrated with the excellent parts of our own traditional culture, rather than taking Western modernization as an object that must be imitated.
One of the five most important characteristics of Chinese modernization is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. How can tens of millions of people in big cities achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature? Where is nature? Of course, nature does not exist in concrete forests and asphalt deserts, which is the anti-ecological way of human existence, so how can ecology be realized? Of course, park cities can be built, but real nature can truly realize the Chinese modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in the countryside. This is especially true for villages that still retain their natural resources and have not been destroyed. Of course, it is difficult to include urban villages and many suburban villages, which are actually no longer natural resources, they are all occupied, and it is difficult to achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
The natural resources in the rural areas are very abundant, but how can we turn resources into assets? First of all, we must reconstruct a new type of collective economy through the "three changes" reform. What is the problem it is aimed at? Ecological resources exist as a spatial form, and the boundaries of their property rights coincide with the geographical boundaries of the village, and the village knows best how to divide the boundaries of a river or a forest. In order to promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and realize ecological industrialization and industrial ecology, it must be a new process to re-promote the realization of resource value. Isn't there a main body for this? This main body is the main body that carries the boundaries of property rights of resources, that is, a new type of collective economy.
In order to save costs in this process, the rural areas are now promoting the integration of the party, government and economy, and one village has three sets of teams and one set of people: party branches, village committees, and economic cooperatives, and these three sets of teams are integrated.
For example, the well-known Battle Flag Village, which has several important experiences. The first lesson is that they have included all the assets invested by their superiors in Zhanqi Village into the equity of the village. His tens of millions of assets were invested from above, they did it by investing in shares, turning resources into assets, and every tree in the village was included in the assets of the village. In this way, there is only one main body for any external investor to enter, that is, the economic association of this village led by Secretary Gao, and they have also established a company, and the external negotiation of the company directly managed by the village collective is the negotiation between the main body of one company and the main body of another company. The capitalized income of all the resources generated by the village shall be distributed by the village collective to the villagers. Can it bring long-term property income to farmers?
The experience of Secretary Gao's Zhanqi Village, where they are located, is enough to interpret the supporting role of the "three changes" reform and the reconstruction of the new collective economy on ecological industrialization. We call this new micro-agent the Social Enterprise. Social enterprises are a kind of support carrier for ecological industrialization that is both economic and public.
The series of changes required by Chinese modernization have been summarized by our leaders as "three new": a new stage, a new concept, and a new pattern. He said that we have entered a new stage and need to establish new ideas, and we cannot create a new pattern without new ideas. However, it is difficult to reform the original system and mechanism, and it will become an obstacle because the barriers of interests are solidified.
The reason why a typical village like Zhanqi Village is the first village that the leaders went to after the rural revitalization strategy was put forward is because it has completed the "three changes" reform, reconstructed the new collective economy, and comprehensively disposed of the village's resources into assets, capital into shares, and villagers into shareholders, forming a social enterprise. All these are conducive to the continuous increase of peasants' long-term property income and the realization of common prosperity with a population of 1.4 billion. Therefore, the leaders went to Zhanqi Village for investigation and affirmed the development experience of Zhanqi Village. These experiences are of great significance for promoting rural revitalization and forming a new pattern in the future.
The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) elaborated on the five characteristics of Chinese modernization, and the leaders pointed out that there is no one-size-fits-all model of modernization or one-size-fits-all standards for modernization. Chinese modernization is of great significance.
In the past, modernization was called "four modernizations," and when Comrade Xiaoping talked about what should be achieved by the end of this century, he also meant realizing the "four modernizations." The "Four Modernizations" were proposed in 1954. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, we were forced to accept the Soviet model of industrialization. As soon as the Korean War began, the Soviet Union, in order to support the Korean War in the vicinity, imported a large number of Soviet-style heavy equipment industrial production lines into China. As a result, China turned to the general line of the transitional period, which was to accept the production of military and heavy industry transferred from the Soviet Union to China with state capital. The production line was moved in as a whole, so we proposed industrial modernization, agricultural modernization, national defense modernization, and scientific and technological modernization according to the Soviet model. In fact, it is a need for national defense modernization, and we have suddenly accepted a large amount of heavy equipment production from an agricultural country that was poor and white in the past, and this has brought about fundamental changes in the economic base. The production of heavy equipment cannot directly meet the needs of people's livelihood, so there has been a continuous adjustment of the system.
First of all, it cannot be completely Sovietized, and it must be combined with its own national conditions. However, at that time, the cultivation of talents was the same as the large number of people sent to the United States later, and a large number of people were sent to the Soviet Union to study at that time. After the Soviet Union returned from education, according to the Soviet model, of course, it was inevitable that a series of problems would arise, such as bureaucracy, dogmatism, and formalism.
When we propose Chinese-style modernization now, what is it aimed at? What we are aiming at is the modernization achieved by the United States and the West in the previous period. Now we finally find that we can't go, because it is the modernization of a few. If this continues, it will be difficult to achieve social stability. Now a large number of people roll, and a few people "run". In this way, it is impossible to come out of a modernization that truly meets the interests of the majority of Chinese, so it must be adjusted. What is the focus of the tune? In rural China, where man and nature coexist in harmony. Therefore, rural revitalization must reflect the new pattern of ecology, so that it may have a way out.
We have explained in detail how to promote rural revitalization, how to promote reform by realizing ecological industrialization for rural revitalization, and how to operate the institutional arrangements for reform. I hope you understand that the major changes made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are of great significance to our comprehensive and sustainable development.
