He believes that more than 40 years of reform and opening up, how to actively promote the political development of socialism with Chinese characteristics needs to attract the attention of the political science community. He sorted out the basic context of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics from the two main lines of economic development and political development, and emphasized that the whole process of people's democracy should be understood from three perspectives: the supremacy of public opinion, the optimization of the political process, and the dialectical logic of ends and means.Vice President of the Chinese Political Society, Professor Zhou Ping, w88 casino of Government, Yunnan UniversityDiscussed Chinese modernization from the perspective of national identity. He believes that promoting nationalization of the population and comprehensive modernization still requires the support of national identity, including adjusting the relationship between basic national identity and secondary heterogeneous identity; enriching the connotation of national rights and improving the realization mechanism of national rights; improving national quality, transforming national character, and creating higher-quality citizens, thereby injecting inexhaustible power into Chinese-style modernization.Professor Jin Taijun, w88 casino of Public Administration, Nanjing Audit University, Dean of National Governance and National Audit Research InstituteExplains the functions and structure of the Chinese-style national governance system from the perspective of structural functionalism. He believes that the criterion for judging the success of a national governance system is the realization of its functions, which mainly include key indicators such as dynamic political participation and stability (long-lasting peace and stability), core values and cultural prosperity (diversity), strong comprehensive national strength, national security (national independence and inviolability), and public satisfaction and recognition (national identity).Professor Lu Chunlong, Vice President of China University of Political Science and Law and w88 casino of Political Science and Public Administrationbelieves that from a historical perspective, China has a unique development trajectory of its own culture and a trend toward modernization. While exogenous power mechanisms are important, China's endogenous power mechanisms also need attention. He also points out that China's spontaneous internal political and cultural transformation has begun during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including the spirit of equality and the ideal of great harmony, the rise of individual rights, the integration of history and economics, the practical spirit of applying the world, and the mass history view. These all constitute the core elements of the modern transformation of China's political culture.Professor Ma Depu, w88 casino of Politics and Administration, Tianjin Normal Universitybelieves that the fundamental attribute of Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. It is the result of the influence of the Chinese revolution and socialist ideology, the objective need of post-developing countries for strong government, the objective need of social integration and prevention of division in super-large multi-ethnic countries, and the product of the characteristics of Chinese civilization. While recognizing the advantages of Chinese-style modernization, we should also see that there are many areas that can be further optimized and improved.
The second unit of the conference was chaired by Professor Sang Yucheng, deputy director of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Political Society, honorary president of the Shanghai Political Society, and w88 casino of International Relations and Public Affairs, Fudan University.Professor Kong Fanbin, Dean of the w88 casino of Government at Nanjing University, believes thatPublic services are closely related to social changes and civilization development.

Only by reflection on the basis of the construction and expansion of modern knowledge can we find the empirical concepts and theoretical cornerstones of Chinese-style modernization construction. He shared his thoughts on the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese-style modernization from three perspectives: the production model of general philosophical and scientific knowledge, the driving force for diffusion, and the Marxism and traditional cultural origins of Chinese-style modernization.Professor Fang Shengju, Dean of w88 casino of Government, Yunnan UniversityConducted a useful discussion on Chinese-style modernization from the perspective of cross-border social governance. He believes that the increase in opening up to the outside world and cross-border exchanges will inevitably lead to many cross-border social problems and the separation of sovereignty and governance. The governance of cross-border social issues is an important aspect of the national governance and modernization process, and the construction of a cross-border social governance community is an important institutional innovation in border social governance.Professor Wen Hong, Vice Dean of the Graduate w88 casino of South China University of Technology and Director of the Social Governance Research CenterFrom the perspective of emotional governance, the grassroots governance system and China's modernization are discussed. He pointed out that grassroots governance is the cornerstone of national governance, and the modernization of grassroots governance is the basic project for realizing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. In the process of realizing the modernization of grassroots governance, we should use emotions to gather energy, use emotions to inject energy, aim at good governance, and inject Chinese-style modernization of grassroots governance"Heart" energy.Professor Meng Tianguang, Vice Dean of the w88 casino of Social Sciences, Tsinghua UniversityTaking the Deep Reform Commission as an example, it deeply elaborates on the relationship between political leadership and national governance. He believes that political leadership has a profound impact on national governance. From the early Deep Reform Group to the current Deep Reform Commission, the Deep Reform Commission has always been an important actor in promoting comprehensive deepening of reforms and a concentrated expression of the logic of comprehensively deepening reforms. The Deep Reform Commission is the political leader at the meso level and connects the macro level“Party and government system” and “leading group” at the micro level.Professor Ren Yong, Dean of the w88 casino of Government at East China University of Political Science and LawOn China’s modernization processThe "Two Wonders" are explained. He pointed out that the mass line has regenerated new governance forms. The recombination and balance of many different forces have resolved the contradictions between freedom and order, the contradiction between development and stability, and the inherent tension between uncertainty and certainty that may exist in grassroots society. It has promoted the innovative transformation and development of grassroots governance and contributed to China's "two miracles."
The third unit of the conference was hosted by Professor Zhou Ping, Vice President of the Chinese Political Society and w88 casino of Government of Yunnan University.Professor He Zengke, Director of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Political Science Research Center of Peking UniversityMade a speech from the perspective of the relationship between building a clean China and Chinese-style modernization. He pointed out that the construction of a clean China is a powerful guarantee for Chinese-style modernization. The basic goals of the construction of a clean China are clean politics, a clean society and clean enterprises. The ultimate goal is to make China truly move from a power-based society for more than two thousand years to a society where power is separated from the market. Integrity innovation requires joint innovation by the public sector, the private economic sector, and the third sector, combining institutional innovation and technological innovation to build a modern country's clean government system.Professor Chen Jiagang, w88 casino of Party History and Party Building, Renmin University of ChinaDiscussed the whole process of democracy from a historical perspective. He reviewed the discussions on political democracy in the classic Marxist theory and the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party’s democratic concepts. He pointed out that democracy is a common value for all mankind. There is a gap between ideal democratic values and actual democracy.

It is also necessary to understand other civilizations from a systematic and complete perspective to truly realize mutual learning among civilizations.Professor Chen Huasen, Dean of the w88 casino of History and Politics of Guizhou Normal UniversityThis paper discusses the national characteristics of Chinese-style modernization from five aspects: the national characteristics of modernization with a huge population, the national characteristics of modernization with common prosperity for all people, the national characteristics of modernization with harmonious material and spiritual civilization, the national characteristics of modernization with harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and the national characteristics of peaceful development path. He believes that the national characteristics of Chinese-style modernization reflect three aspects of national characteristics: first, it is based on the national conditions of the Chinese nation; second, it reflects the characteristics of the Chinese nation; and third, it solves the problems of the Chinese nation.Professor Wu Xiaolin, Vice Dean of Zhou Enlai w88 casino of Government, Nankai UniversityDiscuss Chinese-style modernization from the perspective of the vertical intergovernmental responsibility system. He believes that most areas in China are still operating under theIn the "isomorphic responsibilities" system of "matching top and bottom, and aligning left and right". From this, he put forward three expectations for studying the theory and practice of modernization: first, the overall comparison of modernization and the sorting out of the overall laws; second, looking for the uniqueness of China's responsibility system; third, the challenges and opportunities of digitalization to the government responsibility system.Professor Han Donglin, w88 casino of International Relations, Renmin University of ChinaFocus on the political development and technological modernization of developing countries. He pointed out the current uneven development of science and technology in various countries and the importance of scientific and technological innovation under the fourth industrial revolution. He believes that developing countries have achieved certain achievements in scientific and technological innovation, and political factors have played an important role in it; the stronger the political constraints, the more conducive to scientific and technological innovation; the more local governments are free from restrictions by the central government, the more they can promote scientific and technological innovation.Professor Dai Changzheng, Director of the Department of Political Science, Dean of the w88 casino of International Relations, and Dean of the Institute of National Security and Governance of the w88 casinopointed out that Chinese-style modernization currently embodies the universal characteristics of modernization, is also in the process of continuous development, and will show new characteristics in the future. Only a few countries that followed the path of Western modernization after World War II have achieved modernization, and they do not have universal demonstration significance. He emphasized that national capabilities are crucial to promoting modernization. In the absence of endogenous and exogenous capabilities of first-mover countries, China's rapid development is inseparable from the strong institutional and organizational capabilities of the Communist Party of China.
The fourth unit of the conference was hosted by Professor He Zengke, Director of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Political Science Research Center of Peking University.Professor Chu Jianguo, Dean of the w88 casino of Public Administration and Humanities and Arts of Dalian Maritime Universitybelieves that the Chinese thinking of political modernity includes two formulas, three sources, two characteristics and three characters. The two formulas refer to the formulas of modernization and modernity; the three sources refer to Chinese tradition, foreign civilization, and modernity in current practice; the two characteristics refer to the universality of values and the particularity of forms; and the three figures refer to Marx, Weber, and Confucius. He pointed out that the political thinking of Chinese-style modernization has enriched the meaning of political modernity and expanded the path of political modernization.Professor Chen Junya, Deputy Director of the Department of Political Science of Central China Normal University and China Rural Research Institutebelieves that grassroots political power is the basic level of the national political system. With the advancement of modernization, society has entered a period of rapid change, and grassroots governance is facing challenges. The inverted pyramid of power and authority resources and the upright pyramid of responsibilities and affairs form the dumbbell dilemma of the current grassroots political power. She emphasized that within the cognitive framework of China’s modern nation-building, we must fully understandThe logic of "moving the center of gravity downwards" in regime construction enhances the penetration of the regime into society and achieves the stability of national governance by moving the center of gravity downwards.Researcher at the Institute of Political Science, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Professor Guo Jing, w88 casino of Government, University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciencesbelieves that the essential difference between different modernization paths lies in how to deal with the relationship between state power and the market. The path of Chinese-style modernization comprehensively absorbs the path principles of other modernizations. The main line is to liberate and develop productivity. The goal is to promote the economic benefits of the allocation of production factors and the in-depth development of social collaboration. Its advantage lies in cracking"Monopoly" and the solidification of interest patterns break down natural conditions and economic and social barriers.Professor Huo Wei'an, Vice Dean of the w88 casino of International Relations, w88 casinobelieves that the dilemma of party politics in contemporary Western countries is mainly manifested in four aspects: party intensification and confrontation, party trust crisis, the rise of populism, and the intensification of social diversity and cultural differences. The essence of the practical predicament of today's Western political parties is that the political parties are in danger of completely degenerating into, and in a certain sense retreating into, factions. This is the root cause of the increasingly weakened foundation of their legitimacy. The modern significance of party politics in Western countries is still being shaped and unfolded in the historical process.Professor Ma Xuesong, Vice Dean of the w88 casino of Administration of Jilin UniversityThrough the comparison of multiple cases, this paper discusses how vertical intervention can solve the responsibility dilemma of negotiation between local governments. He believes that vertical intervention should follow the principles ofThe principles of "non-intervention unless necessary", the selection of intervention subjects should comply with the "bottom-up" hierarchy, and the value orientation of "helping them help themselves" in vertical intervention. He pointed out that in the future we should continue to explore the relationship between the nature of cooperation issues and vertical intervention, the relationship between the effectiveness of vertical intervention and the transformation of responsibilities, etc.
