It is expected that China will continue to make new achievements on the road of promoting Chinese modernization, which will not only successfully achieve its own development goals, but also provide more development opportunities for all countries in the world.
Realizing modernization is the common pursuit of people all over the world. There is no one-size-fits-all modernization standard in the world, and every country needs to explore a modernization road suitable for its own national conditions. China has continuously promoted and expanded Chinese modernization, made great achievements, and fully demonstrated its theoretical and practical value.
Achieving high-quality development is one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. In recent years, China’s economic development plan has paid more and more attention to improving the quality of development. The continuous improvement of China’s scientific and technological innovation ability is an important achievement of China’s efforts to promote high-quality development. Today, China can independently explore space and deep sea, build the world’s largest high-speed railway network and 5G network, and make breakthroughs in frontier fields such as biomedicine and quantum science. China’s high-quality development continues to bear fruit, which is not only beneficial to China, but also beneficial to the world, providing a successful example for other countries.
China has always adhered to the people-centered development thought in the process of promoting modernization. The China Municipal Government has taken effective measures to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, continuously improved the social security system, and continuously strengthened the construction of ecological civilization, which has achieved important results and made Chinese modernization take on a different look from western modernization. China put forward the concept of people’s democracy in the whole process, enriched democratic forms, unblocked democratic channels, and expanded people’s orderly political participation from all levels and fields. China’s idea and practice of whole-process people’s democracy can provide reference for countries with different social systems in the world to develop democracy.
Chinese-style modernization is a modernization that takes the road of peaceful development. China has always pursued to better safeguard world peace and promote common development through its own development. In Serbia, China has brought a lot of development opportunities. The railways, bridges and other infrastructure built by China enterprises have laid a good foundation for the development of many Serbian regions, and the factories invested by China have become the pillars of industrial development in their regions. After Smederevo Steel Plant was acquired by Hegang Group, China invested a lot of money to transform the plant in environmental protection and other aspects, which provided a lot of job opportunities for local residents and became the second largest export enterprise in Serbia. Serbia has established a comprehensive strategic partnership with China and actively participated in Central and Eastern Europe — China’s cooperation mechanism and the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation have learned a lot from the successful practice of Chinese modernization.
Chinese modernization has made important contributions to enriching the theory and practice of global development. It is expected that China will continue to make new achievements on the road of Chinese modernization, which will not only successfully achieve its own development goals, but also provide more development opportunities for all countries in the world.
